Valid point. Those were the good old days......:coaster:



Times have changed, people are on a different frequency and the generation has rolled over to the little bastards that came after the people active during ‘the heyday’...

A lot of shit has been pumped into our brains via tv, internet news etc and we’re in a different beat of reality.  Facebook etc is immediate narcissistic gratification and exercise of self importance.  People’s heads are to big for anon forums where they don’t get direct immediate credit for their brags..

Real talk :tinfoil:




Honestly I think it's even like this with my generation which was the last generation to be born without social media. Ever since I completely left social media (facebook, instagram, etc..) I feel so disconnected from my peers, and have an extremely hard time keeping in touch with peers, finding out what's going in their lives, etc...

Personally I like the quality of interaction of Shroomery over any place I've been to on the internet.

I kinda like that shroomery is not at the forefront of the newer generation just for the simple fact you know a handfull of those little fuckers would fuck the whole thing up for all of us, let reddit take them :chugbeer:

Until a single subforum does as well as mush cult we have too many subforums.

There are enough subforums that hold 15ish people at a time that if you added them up they would = mush cult (usually about 200 viewers on average currently). They made us too separate back when site traffic was a thing and never adjusted back after all the subforums were dead.

I also think that keeping the growery on this side of the site would help us to stay relevant since people dont usually come here for ganja anymore

Only hope can give rise to the emotion we call despair. But it is nearly impossible for a man to try to live without hope, so I guess that leaves Man no choice but to walk around with despair as his companion.

Correct me if I'm wrong; but I don't feel like you get the same sense of community outside of message boards/forums.

I've been a member of many and there's always that sense that you're hanging with a bunch of old friends once you've been on them a while....

I think there's a multifaceted issue, the environment that allowed forums to thrive long ago has changed, and with it things like reddit/IG/FB/Twitter have an easier way to get in front of people's eyes. Years and years ago phones didn't see as much use as they do right now.

Like a lot of other posts here are saying, Shroomery doesn't have any kind of app or mobile integration afaik, and thus if you don't have a PC then the usage of the site is going to be much more difficult.

So with things like general forums that don't have a niche to hold on to, well they were just replaced with other platforms that had much better ease of use and larger audience. With Shroomery it's such a powerhouse when it comes to this one specific topic, and thus it's able to maintain it's numbers and even grow in recent years. It's nice to see honestly.

More than anything else, it just seems like a symptom of a changing landscape, but Shroomery seems like it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

And yet we are still here to have this discussion.




Not long ago 300-500 people would be in the pub at once.

It averages 30 now.

But the site still exists, and a number of us are still here 10-20 years after joining. And it's still a place people can get good info on mycology and ethnobotany and so on.

This is the best website on the internet.  The info + social combo here beats everywhere else by far.  I don’t know why people are all :cryaboutit:.

It's the Pub that has lost its mojo, not necessarily the whole Shroomery. Mush Cult has 183 people viewing it right now.

Dang, thats a lot!

The Psychedelic Experience has 141 people viewing it. Also quite a bit of people. If only the Pub that was popular.....

But about 90% are guests so....no posting from them :shrug:

I used to rule the boards
Shrooms would rise when I post the words
Now in the moment we romp alone
Hide the threads we used to own

I used to roll the rice
After 24 hours in ice
Listen as the members would sing
Now the contams are dead, long live the pins
One minute I held the key
Next the mods closed in on me
And I discovered all my upvotes stand, upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Shroomery bells ringin
Grateful Dead cover bands are singin
Be my mirror, the board's shield
My shitposter in a butthurt field
For some reason I cant explain, I know Ythan won't call my name

Never an angry troll
But that was when Shroomery ruled the world..

The only reason why I'm here on this earth is because of mushrooms

My grandfather used to walk all day all night through the mountains picking mushrooms

Stories of planting seeds in war prison , working for food

They used to only eat mushrooms grass and  dandelions for a long time

When my father was a kid he used to pick them too

They lived in a litte tin shack up on some hill

Sold the mushrooms on the side of the road , all kinds

There is more to this story

My father told me he found a snake with lips and eyelashes near some stream of rushing water

It moved around dancing at him

He beat it with a stick

No one believed a word he said

Until about 3 other people found it

It lives in a tree trunk

One day I will find it on video tape

It is stright from hell

Some people cant find any mushrooms and they are everywhere

Some guy from Germany at a pub was amazed
