All Forums are Not Created Equal * 4
    #26668715 - 05/13/20 02:30 PM (3 years, 9 months ago)

I know. I know. I'm new here and don't know anything about this forum. But I do know forums and let me tell you, the dichotomy between the forums here and my experience with other forums is astounding!  As a newbie, I have been blown away by the amount of activity and support here. I love it.

Back in the early 2000's Car forums (among many other non-drug related hobby forums) were all we had. In the last 5 years or so, there has been this dramatic shift to Facebook groups, Instagram etc leaving topics in the old forums such as "what happened here?". However, what is happening now is a resurgence of forums. Why? People want/need organization. People are realizing again "wow, we could actually have some structure to this madness". Is it perfect. Absolutely not. Do people still ask the same question that has been answered a 1000 times? Yep and that will never stop.

For this reason, I want to "try" and state the 2 key reasons (maybe obvious) I think this forum has stood the test of time.

1: Legality
2: Anonymity

I think the legality status of substances mentioned on this forum is the first major reason. It's obviously not the dark web and far from it, but it's a medium of sorts. Regarding anonymity, it's certainly possible to be anonymous on Facebook, Instagram etc, but anonymity has always been built into forums through usernames and not actual names. Lastly, people can have different lives here that no one in their immediate circle may ever know or understand.

Where does reddit fit into all of this? What do you guys think the future of this forum will be in 10-15 years? With the forum name being what it is, will it all hinge on the legality of magic mushrooms? Would this forum disappear in 5 years if legal status changed or would it grow even bigger?

P.S. I consider myself an indefinite beginner and never an expert, I'm just a business mind with futuristic thoughts : )

I would say its all four, plus shrooms are awesome and our nature's mind medicine! :mushroom2:

Welcome to the Forums PassionateGrower! :shroomeryhead:

What is the future of forums? Not sure, but Im pretty confident that Shroomery is here to stay. Reddit is like a mainstream forum, somewhere between Facebook and forums in general.

Will legality of shrooms.end the Shroomery? No way! I would say it would make it even more popular overall!

In my opinion, Shroomery has a bright future ahead :sunny:

Its all about being one of the first in the genre. This forum has been around since the late 90s according to some join dates Ive seen. It was probably one of the first around during the "literally everyone has a computer and internet now" age.

Ive been involved with building and owning different forums years ago, trying to build it up from nothing, and its insanely hard to compete with the already long running and established forums. You gotta have something nobody else has to get popular at that point, and advertise like fucking mad. Its a lot.

But Shroomery is what it is because it was one of the first. The atmosphere of a forum really cultivates itself depending on the rule set.

Very good point. I think the Shroomery was started by Ythan in 1998. 22 years in 2020. Coincidence? :justno:

This place is pretty much all i know when it comes to the internet.

Sorry that i have been so dumb. I'm working on it.

I could never picture almost anything anyone writes on here, ever being on anywhere like face book or whatever people are using.

You dont have to apologize watermelon. We all love you for who you are.

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.

Reflecting back, what inspired me to start this post was someone else's post about attracting better people to the shroomery. I thought about all my experience on other forums and if there really was an answer to that persons post?

Anyways. I've felt extremely welcomed here and this is a place i feel I can be myself and not be judged. I really enjoy the culture here. Thank you all for making it what it is.
