not just for ourselfs, but for the pub community as a whole, maybe something we can do as individuals which isnt so conforming like the "how to be awesome" thread..
i think not spending so much time in the pub would help it immensely.
and maybe peeps can try and leave politics out of it as often as possible, that shit is like a cancer.
what else?..

so many complaints about the pub lately. jeez. this happens every year in late spring
i think it really comes down to is the fact that its summertime. every year since i joined, around this time, the shroomery has been less active in the summer. the pub and ODD are particularly less active in the summer. but TPE, The Ethnobotanical Garden, and Mushroom Identification seems to get a big boost in posts in the summer and fall.
if the pub isn't entertaining enough for you, its probably because most people are outside enjoying the summer. there are dozens of other websites that can entertain you anyways

haha like migrating according to the seasons. when it is winter we move to the pub. then when it is summer we move to psychelic forum or something, and so on.

also, watch lots of movies while u are idle from the pub
and make sure u leave a rating in my most recent thread titled "rate the last the movie you watched" 
or u can read something else besides what is on the shroomery

I think the Pub will only improve if we make changes.

you're asking too much. WAY too much.
I need to be a moderator, the irritating overly sensitive ppl who blow the whistle & constantly gripe and complain would get a boot up their pooper. or a kindly chat. kill ppl with kindness they say. ohhh I will MISS COMPASSIONATE 2016

People being more fuckered up would make things much more interesting. Sick of the usual ego battles of the butthrt.

Instead of looking outside for your fix, look inside and become the fix.
There's a shit load of people who pass through the pub. Everyone needs to fall back in their heads and cultivate, apply a higher standard.
There's no magic eagle going to swoop in and fix anything with a bag of magic. It's just us here.
And from a musicians standpoint when things go stale...and they will... you turn off the recorders and go out into the world and experience... when time passes you come back with notebooks of ideas..
Maybe instead of posting shit just for the sake of hitting submit... we go out. So that when we come back...etc.
You can't force the magic, it often happens when you're not even looking..

i figured/
overly sensitive people are sensitive, they arent dead on the inside yet we should atleast acknowledge their wishes while there is still hope in them. besides, there is plenty of unkind shit in the world, maybe we can try to keep this place clean at the very least..

Good topic. Im new here but this is my takeaway...
I like the ideas of creating quality threads as opposed to just responding, and of taking a break of not taking grievances too personally, etc.
I've found that if I come here occasionally, and only when I'm reasonably happy and/or high (not drunk!) improved my experience 10 fold. Arguments roll off my back, and I'm more forgiving of miscommunication. Also, I don't take my persona here so seriously = less arguments, less hurt feelings.
Complaints, too much juvenelia. Seriously, (quality threads get passed up for 'What bitch shud I fuk tonite?lolz' threads), Or, quality threads get turned into... Too many 200 page rolling arguments (easy to ignore, but when every thread turns into one?), etc.
I think if everyone here had met each other even once, 75% of this would be cleared up. But given the nature of the website (mushrooms) I don't see either the churlish, childish stuff going away, or people rushing out to meet strangers. Who knows, maybe it's just me and this place isn't for me?
Hope not. The best forum online, but still...a forum online.

if my spirits are too high i dont even bother coming here . all it takes is seeing a PC thread that has gone past 10 pages, then i click and nothing but bigotry from both parties.
i dont think it's the fact that i cant handle the opinions of others or that i am weak willed, it's more the fact that some posters here make threads specifically to anger other posters, and that's all they do. it's pretty obvious who is who or what is what, yet nothing is done about it..
it's not the words, but the intentions behind those words..
