I had read a post from years ago saying they shut a site down about growing mj. Does anyone think this will ever happen here? I sure the FUCK hope not!

I guess it might depend on where the servers are based and whether that government have problems with the website.

That was probably Overgrow you were reading about. It was by far the premiere site for information and mj cultivation. The reason it got shut down was that it was involved (semi-behind the scenes) with the selling of seeds and advertising its subcompany on the site. If you just google "overgrow shutdown" you'll find plenty of info on it. I only know the basics. I imagine there was also business conducted via PM which is a no-no.
That was the same reason The Hive got shut down a decade or so ago. It was the premiere site for all things related to clandestine chemistry. The owner of the site was also involved in a chemical supply business that was advertised on there covertly as well. They also did a fair amount of business via PM on there too.
It is completely legal (in the US anyway) to share this information due to freedom of speech. However when an information site starts to have business conducted via PM or they actually run their own supply businesses it becomes and issue and can even be charged with various conspiracy charges and possibly manufacturing charges as well.
The Shroomery is purely here for information. They do not run nor own any part of a supplier and they take every precaution possible ot discourage any illegal activity on the site. The Shroomery has been around for well over a decade and hasn't been shutdown yet and will not be in the foreseeable future. The admins and mods do a great job of keeping this site above board.

This is the silver lining, IMO. Don't do shady shit in PM's over this website!

I seriously doubt it that this site will be shut down soon, because it's been running for years. It might but shutdown for a couple days or so if there is a new law that gets passed in which the Shroomery is violating. But the website could easily be hosted in another country making it legal (like thepiratebay)

It's possible that it may happen eventually, but I believe Ythan and the staff go through a lot of effort to make sure that the site is technically legal.
I'm sure enlil would be the first to let us know if we were doing something illegal.

Selling cannabis seeds is illegal federally, selling spores is not.
The reason overgrow didn't last is obvious.......

While selling spores is legal in comparison to seeling seeds having those spores actually sold by a site the has instructions on growing them (and thus producing an illegal product) would be very much in the darkest of grey areas. That is also why 90% of the legitimate spore sites sell for microscopy use only and do not contain grow information.
IMO if an information site also sold spores and a member got busted growing then if an overzealous prosecutor wanted to they could charge that site with conspiracy to manufacture. The charge may or may not stick but it would cost a fortune to fight.
Its best to just keep everything separate.

I thought it was the bottom of some type of shelf-fungus until you said that. I didn't realize the bark had been stripped off.

If it does shut down, it will be resurrected as Shroomery 2.0
You can't kill an idea.

If that were true it would have already happened.
Vendors protect themselves, the shroomery protects itself. By that logic every how to go weed book and video producer should be in prison.
The shroomery provides information, vendors provide spores for microscopy. Both legal.......
Making money off selling seeds in the U.S.? Very illegal

If this was in response to my post you should re-read it, we are basically saying the same thing. I said if a site provided information + the means to actually go about it, they could potential face a charge even if they are both legal if done separately.
That is what happened to The Hive back in '03-ish. The original seizure of the servers was when they found out the same person was running the Hive and selling (legal) chemicals from his own website connected to there.
Like you said, the Shroomery protects itself by only providing information and not selling anything; vendors protect themselves for selling spores for research purposes without specific information on how to grow them.
