Who owns the Shroomery? * 2
    #22190360 - 09/04/15 09:26 PM (8 years, 4 months ago)

Who's the top dog who owns the Shroomery?  Whose the person who can delete every account at the click of a button?  Does he or she post with a screen name ever?

I've actually never even heard of the member Ythan until now. I don't think there is anywhere that you can go to that explains the history of The Shroomery. At least that I know of. My go-to website for a while before I started reading threads here was Erowid. I never made an account there but before I did any psychedelics & just smoked I'd spend a good amount of time reading the trip reports & what not. I'd think, "Wow, is this what that stuff actually does to you?" I was so intrigued but I always thought that the trip reports sounded so exaggerated. Little did I know... & Little do I know to this day... I mean, you can think you know but really you have no idea.

Who else is high up there in running The Shroomery? Does Roger Rabbit have anything to do with organizing or getting the site established? I know that ever since his significant other passed away he has been seen less & less around here.

The Shroomery is owned by the mysterious Mind Media of Santa Cruz, California. From Mind Media is a man who goes by the screenname Ythan. He started the Shroomery in 1997 when he was still a teenager (before the underage rule of course). Now a lot of the administration is done by Asante, but Ythan is the primary coder. Sheekle is Ythan's puppet.

Ythan writes in his autobiography

Quote:


I started the Shroomery in August of 1997. I was 15 at the time and yes, that arguably makes me a hypocrite for enforcing our 18+ age requirement.

My main contribution to the Shroomery is programming, including the content management script which powers the main site and most of the BB's enhanced functionality. I also have a hand in many other aspects of the site, including server administration, graphics design, page optimization (for size and search engines), promotion, monetization, member support, and guiding our continued evolution.

After years of running the site as a volunteer operation, the admins now receive a modest hourly wage. For some reason this seems to bother certain people, and I invite them to lead by example and forgo their own paychecks while taking on increasing workloads and responsibilities.

Thanks man.....

And thanks Mr. Ythan for starting the Shroomery.

Ythan was seemingly much more well known on the site pre 2010's... don't see him around anymore and the newfags don't know who to give thanks to. :lolsy:

Ythan was the former owner till he sold it to the cia back in 82. He still manages a lot of it tho.

If I were admin I probably would, for safety reason of course. I personally know from setting up several forums in the past that there is a script so that one can easily change the reg date and post count on any given account to whatever ones little heart desires.
