For real, what's a mushroom? I thought this was a place for hippie circle jerks.

Sounds like you could use an OTD lanyard.

I've not posted in OTD much, but with the way the Pubs gone it might be the better of the two

I think it's because when the forum first emerged, there was such a need for it, it was booming. No one had the means to communicate so freely with so many people and therefore in such a accountable way about this stuff. You guys were pioneers. The original pilgrims Now there're 80,000 teks for everything and they're as finely honed as the community can allow.
Mainly, perhaps we've reached the cutting edge of where our current understandings as a culture can take us for now, so we don't have a REASON to talk as much. idk, I'm just blowing smoke, I just got here :P
Shrooms and LSD are so 60s, I'm going to the exclusive forum for bathsalt users/synthesizers. Say what you want, it NEVER gets dull in there!
EDIT: and idk about OTD, it feels like a bunch of the same crotchety old men so set in their dynamic that all that's left is bullshit and shit talk. How many meaningful conversations came from that pit?

Mushrooms got boring for me a long time ago. Tripping is just a phase white suburban middle class white boys go through from the ages of like 16-24 and then most people just move on with their lives.
The psychedelic experience section is littered with under age kids talking about psychedelics and the Pub is just the old dried up farts with nothing to talk about cause they spent their entire youth tripping. It makes for really bland discussion and the same discussions just get regurgitated.
I also have noticed a massive influx of posters around the twenty to three hundred post mark. It is a disturbing trend because it seems like there are a lot more new folk and the old timers are just done with this place and moving on. I figure I will get to that point soon cause most hippy discussions just make me pissed off anyways and ya I wish the Pub could go back to where it was a year or two ago when I first started posting here.
The golden age is long gone and what we have left is just people trying way too hard to think of interesting stuff to talk about, myself included, and it shows. Maybe we can start a Pub think tank and figure out what we need to do to end this snooze fest streak that has been a huge dark cloud over the Pub especially this summer. The cop hating circle jerk here is most definitely turning a lot of people off and the circle jerking in general here has gone overboard.
Those are just my thoughts I would like to hear what you guys think.

IMHO a big take home point with psychedelics is novelty. Now run with it.

its summer time, people have better things to do.
I can come up with lots of things to talk about, but people here don't like my point of view or perspective on a lot of things so I dont bother having serious discussions here.
because I see things differently, most dumb fucks in the pub will leave me shitty ratings rather than have an adult conversation about why they feel differently or disagree with the topic being discussed.. It's not worth it. So now I tend to keep most things to myself and avoid engaging with underage adult children who have no communication or coping skills.

If only mushrooms were a bit more addictive, people'd stick around! But until government studies by the FDA come out, there probably won't be an increased influx of new blood.
And I agree, I fit the profile and I really don't see myself using mushrooms again. It was about finding spirituality, exploring intellectual freedom, and seeing the world in a new way. Check, what's next? I do still enjoy shooting the shit with you fine folk, however.

Don't get me wrong, I love mushrooms! They'll always be an important part of my life. I was just saying that they're not the only reason I come here.

No, that was like '02.
I just find it humorous people who joined like 2 years ago are talking about the golden years of the pub.. not much has changed in the past 2-3 years, except tons more people and trolls. It has always gone in waves.

If I click on one interesting Pub in a day, I consider that a good day now. I used to be able to read an entire page of cool discussions and read at least ten good threads on any given day. Now I am lucky if that happens even once a week.

It comes and goes. It's nearly random, life is chaotic and a lot of people get distracted or busy. There seems to be a week or two of great discussion following these dey spells though. Just ride the wave.

This is the worst dry spell I have seen in all the years I have been here.
Honestly there are no funny memorable threads either. They just seem really forced and it never comes natural anymore. Maybe I am just nitpicking but we used to have such organic and engaging discussions and the compulsive circle jerk cop hate is just a major turn off for some people here.

Welcome to the Pub for the past like... 5 years or something. It goes in waves. It used to be you could make a thread in the Pub and it would still be in the top 10 threads like 2 days later. Now it's at the bottom of the list after a couple hours. Mostly flooded by inane posts. I'm kind of in the same boat as sprinkles.. I don't really genuinely express my opinion here any more or share my views, aside from trivial stuff or fuck the police or sharing news. No point really. I guess I'm jaded. Almost all my good friends left, I sometimes wonder why I still stick around.
