Talk to your friends about mushrooms. Get them interested in growing.
I don't want the site to get too mainstream. The reason it's successful as it is is because its so damn niche.
We're always going to be a small community and I like it that way. Mush cult will always stay active because there will always be people interested in learning to grow shrooms.
As long as mush cult is here I'll be happy. I think this question is more about making the pub more popular rather than shroomery as a whole. The truth is there are a thousand other platforms for pub like discussion but only a handful for mushroom cultivation. I honestly don't care if we lose members who only post in the pub and OTD because it just doesn't affect me. I only spend time in the pub when Im bored.
I'm constantly seeing new faces in cultivation and that makes me happy that there is a constant new generation of growers up and coming.

Shroomery doesn't have an app, correct? I'd be willing to make an attempt at creating a cross-platform app for shroomery. I could post it on the apple store and android store.
LMK what you think.

Money. We need it. With money we can pay for cool shit. Ythan is great and all and I don't want to shit on him, but this place needs a business part to to it. A CEO to think up ways to monitize this operation. Shit I'll do it until we can find a better guy or keep me, whatever.
You didn't notice the google adsense ads at the top of every thread and the banner ads at the top and bottom, paid support accounts + the shroomery store???
Its a forum, what else could he do to monetise it more?
And what would you be doing with that money? This site is abpout illegal activity dude I mean where are you going with that idea. Please tell me.
Sounds like a good path to get this whole thing federallied and shut down. once theres large amounts of cash, illegal mushrooms and promotion going on u can almost guarantee the feds will cut in on the action or shut you down. I'd say its already sitting on the borderline TBH.
A shroomery CEO, na I don't think we want you running it Patlal. i like your hubris but completely disagree with it. I don't understand where you headed with these suggestions at all.
I think ythans doin just fine running his business. Your suggestions would likely get the thing shut down. That ain't gonna be a good business bro. thats gonna be a dead business.
The number 1 priority of this site should not be money it should be spreading the truth. I'm here for the knowledge bombs.

Here's another thought. Why not have a In Memoriam section?? Why have a lot of loved member that have died over the years that deserve this recognition. When Zap passed, I actually cried in from of my computer screen... We need to to put them in the Shroomery Hall of Fame

I think this is a campaign platform we can all get behind. Assuming the "free" drugs have been donated by those who created/delivered them...

Has site traffic actually declined, or has growth just slowed or stopped?
Maybe we could pick some of our best posters and clone them to agar.

I learned from cultivating that the best way to grow is to keep folks in the dark, and feed them horseshit.

heh, I can slay u.
started on Facebook back when it was University students and watched the pool get bigger it was kind of funny to see people from the Education faculty start complaining that kids from the high schools they were doing their stage in had started adding them on facebook
Now, my mother has more people on her Facebook friends list from my time in high school than were ever my friends during high school
and my 92 year old grandmother uses it to see pictures of the great grandkids that live so far away
the facebooks aren't for me tho
