i really oppose the whole credit card age verification dilly....cuz then id be screwed.... i have no credit card.
in this case it is a bad thing that i dont.
the whole, "if you are over 18, click here to enter"
if you ban minors from requesting membership, how do you ban the minors who already are members?
& last but not least....the whole "fill in the box member profile is b/s.
if people are going to lie, what stops them from lying in their profile duh??

Ok, I think the age thing will be good, because this is not a board for children. Maybe people that have already signed up can stay regardless of there age(myself). I would be very pissed off if I had to leave this place. I enjoy this community and the culti of mushrooms a great deal and I have put a lot of work into this comunity.I hope I don't have to leave. I am not going to do something stupid and irresponsable, but I can't say that more most of the other 15-16 year old people that come here.

I think the very idea is useless... it won't keep anyone out who shouldn't be here obviously. It won't prevent parents of such children from being outraged ("Well I WAS terrified of you ruining my young child's mind, but then i saw that he lied to you, and i'm ok with it now, HE will be punished, have a nice day."). And, since there is nothing blantantly 'adult' about it, it won't save your ass from any legal recourse anymore then it being 13 would. Certainly more innappropriate (atleast in the mind's of your avg evil smiting mother) things are found without age verification, or likewise, of any type. I really think its a trivial difference and it won't amount to the difference between saving the shroomery or not.

Yes I agree totally. Make it as hard as possible for someone to enjoy this site. Require an age verification thingy that costs MONEY to sign up with a small portion of the proceeds going to the t-shirts. If someone leaves a hobby box blank, ban their IP forever. If someone uses a false e-mail address, ban their IP forever. Then, once we've alienated everyone that is not 100% serious about shrooms and the shrooming community, we will have reached the POINT of EXCELLENCE!!!!
Keep the ideas coming.
Anyone who disagrees can be shown the door immediately.
""""Anyway, just a suggestion on a way to control the trolls and give us all a little feeling of who everyone is. """"""
I didn't realize there was a big problem with trolls. I think the problem lies in the no-fun-factor parental types trying to turn (or having already turned) the shroomery into a Hive type serious atmosphere.
I mean we already have more than two mods who don't hold back when it comes to there disgust with those who use "hard" drugs. These types would be happy if pot and shrooms were legalized but never want to see thpose other "bad" drugs de-criminalized.
As far as I'm concerned this is not a pro-drug awareness- anti-misinformation site when several mods will tell you lies like "heroin is more addictive than crack" and the like.

why doesn't the shroomery get one of those Adult Pass type things that they have at most porn sites, I think that will be more effective -- almost any kid would ignore the 18 or over shit, think about it

If we're only going to have an age limit to prevent legal troubles, then why not just go for the bare minimum? upon registration, you check a box that says you're over 18....Sure, there's nothing to prevent people from lying, but nor is there something to prevent people from ripping off an Adult Pass type thing.

god i hate adult check type services, they have nothing to do with age, and everything to do with credit. you DONT have to be 18 to even get a credit card anymore, my ex girlfreind got her first one when she was just over 17 (dont say its impossable she still needed her parents co-signing), and here i am 19 have had the same job for over 2 years, savings, and checking account, i had my own phone line for a good long time, and i cant get squat! not too mention since using the adult check costs the user needing to be verified nothing (some services) whos to stop some kid from writing down his mothers card number/exp. and use it on the free checks? meanwhile im over here not getting access to this great site because im not a theif and wont steal my mothers card (called morals) and cant get a credit card
(shes over 19 now too, just clarifying so people dont flame me for being sime child-molester or anything)

Reading and lurking I have seen some cool people posting, but I also see the lewdest crudest perverted crud this side of the Excite! message boards. Yuck. Why is this allowed?
(And by the way, to the mods: please excuse me if I seem rude.) I certainly don't mean to put you down or seem arrogant. And I'm not a troll. In fact I'm a very mild kind, and I love mild people. I just hate to see it when just plain flaming trolls and idiots are cavorting so happily in a place that should be much safer.
Psilocybin shrooms truly bring out the best in some people. The problem is letting the light shine.
Also, please, you moderators who prefer to think that shrooms are 'better' than 'hard drugs': You're damn right they are! Never back down from that, never. Heroin and crack and whatever other drugs there are that ARE completely capable of radically damaging people's lives cannot be lumped in the same as shrooms and should not. There is no connection whatsoever between on the one hand a drug that opens your heart and soul to kindness and optimism and on the other hand drugs that cause people to become short tempered and mean spirited and ugly, is there?
So why should the mods back off on that?
Shrooms do not promote fucking dead people, just as an example. Nor do they promote harassing and insulting honest kindhearted people. Like 'taking turns getting me off'. That's crude and unacceptable bullshit. Sorry, but it's true. Please excuse me.

Actually, that's not the problem. The problem is within each of us, it's welling up from inside of us. It's how well we prove we can get on with growth and health that determines what we are. All I'm saying is that necrophilia isn't a very decent hobby and that hard drugs are not a happy thing. So why talk like trashy people? We should be a little more dignified. But some people think necrophilia is cute or clever. It isn't.
We should clean our minds up a bit after, say, fucking the family pet while drunk or strung out on amphetamines, before we bring all that trashy nonsense to a forum about the beautiful shroom. Am I making any sense here? I get the feeling I'm coming off as pushy. Please excuse my rudeness.

Some people think that soft drugs are cute and clever and safe and beautiful and a communal walk with nature in a green pasture and all that bullshit. Listen Jack. It may be true that no one OD's on marijuana and shrooms, but they are by no means any different than those "hard" drugs you so calously mentioned in your post. Elevating your drug of choice, your escape route of choice above other's drug of choice is nothing short of elitism.
Most posts on OD that involve what you consider to be the harder drugs are almost always met with stern warnings to steer clear of excess use of that drug. Likewise, it would be nice if you flowery happy people would remind those who use flowery happy drugs that using these happy flowery drugs in excess can produce unhappy results. Perhaps you haven't seen these effects yet, but you will one day understand that even a harmless drug like pot is not a harmless drug when used in excess.
I can't help you with your necrophilia, lichen. You will require professional help for that one.

I have a suggestion...
Please do NOT put in a poppup window on the index page, where you have to click "OK" to enter the site.
It`s really annoying (people want to get where they want to go with the least amount of clicking), it should rather plainly state on the index page that by entering any of the other links you are thereby stating that you are of legal age.

I shall, at the risk of sounding srgumentative, keep this brief. Please excuse me.
Shrooms make me want to brush my teeth. They make me want to drink quantities of clean water. I seem to feel I can taste every ingredient in a given food or drink. Shrooms make me aware of my body and what I'm putting into it. Shrooms tell me not to drink very much alcohol, or use too much tobacco. They tell me to be strong-minded and they energize me and motivate me. They build in me a respect for others and help me to be balanced and happy. I am beautiful and normal and free, and life is excellent. My children and mate are happy with their lives and with me, and I love them very very dearly. Shrooms bring my mate and I closer together. We share everything, all the time, and we never argue. We've never had a serious fight in all our years together. Shrooms are enlightening and beautiful. They have no harmful effects if taken wisely and in moderation, and with purpose and presence of mind. Shrooms do not overtax your cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. They do not damage your liver. Once they leave your system, poof! you're back to normal. They leave the body within hours, no side effects, no health problems. What other drug can you say these things about?
Of course all drugs can cause mental problems and most can cause health problems. Some drugs destroy families and men and women. Some can destroy your mind. Shrooms are very serious business, and I myself have had a problem with liking the shroom--and other drugs--too fucken much, please excuse me. But at this time in my life, I have learned that shrooms can be theraputic and beneficial. You may deny it, but shrooms really are of the gods, if I may use the phrase.

And since that's encapsulated in a post of its own, I'll put another pertinent one here:
You've got to control the drugs. Drugs can cause a whole world of damage, especially to young inexperienced people. It's difficult to see when you're young and inexperienced, but if you abuse the drugs,
a) you may become unable to get off them,
b) you may develop health problems and psychosis in the meanwhile.
That being said, shrooms are still the very best 'recreational' drug that has every been discovered, IMHO. (But Wow! they sure can be hard on idiots and people who don't know their own mind fully)
