this really is the worst in a long string of questionable ideas.

if this happens, expect a nice exodus of *talent* from the forums.

I think the most logical thing for us members to do is to reserve judgement until we hear a lot of the details of the plan. Obviously leaving maps to mushroom hunting grounds with shroomery logos around playgrounds is not the best idea.

But, showing up at raves and festivals with a group of 2-5 trained people to handle psychedelic crisis quietly, co-operating with security to help the most people, like MAPS did, would be a great way to responsibly promote the site.

I imagine the plan is somewhere between these extremes. Lets give the admins some credit, and reserve judgement until we hear more details.

Exactly what we'd hope to do, spread info on mis-information of mushrooms. This is our mandate, and is our goal with all this.

It definately won't be extreme in any way, we will simply use common sense and watch carefully what we say on flyers, who we give them to, and where we hand them out.

Spreading knowledge is a smart thing to do, I think its a duty to help fight against mis-information and be out there helping people with facts instead of fiction that DARE and others spout.

Yeah thats the stuff  :heart::thumbup:

Generally speaking: it's easy to resist change and shoot ideas down at first instinct. It's harder to get specific on your concerns and suggest forms of action that are in tune with the general idea -increasing awareness and membercount of the Shroomery and enhancing its features and areas of positive influence- but in your view are superior to ideas presented to you.

The powers that be made an administrative decision, so let's go from there. Tomk: a great idea!

im sorry to have been absent from this thread for so long. and let me state my piece, or atleast the first instalment of it.

okay, as i see it there are a few issues that are being brought up here.
1) people are afraid of the site becomming to high profile.
2) some people have a problem with the financial aspect of this website
3) some members/mods are upset as they have not had a voice over the creation of the promotions.

well as it has been explanes to me, and i agree after looking at the numbers, this site is not low profile by any means.
Also the world runs on money, server space, hosting, the license for the bbs and lots of other things that break and send the admins running into the night to get replacment parts. it takes money to keep this site running.
And we dont run this site, the admins do in the end its their say.

there is also alot of concern over the legal aspect of this site. i also share a concern about this. i do not think that there is any legal precident over somthing like the shroomery, and that not many similar sites are run in this country.
however im sure that there is a lawyer out there that specialises in these sort of issues, and im sure that we will find him in time.


1. I'm concerned about hallucinogenic mushrooms becoming too high profile.

2. As long as this site does not become a commercial venture I'm happy. If this site becomes a money making venture than capitalism goes into effect. Whichever site offers the best value/dollar wins.

"And to those of you who say that the seeds found at the bottom of a dime bag are good and viable, Umm... no.
One more thing: Shrooms simply are not as popular as weed. Period. If spores are banned, mushrooms will not be available for future explorers. Mushrooms have a delicate temperment, only the very special seek them out. "

bullshit on all counts.

bag seed has provided many lbs of good herb, go to overgrow and lo ok up bagseed on the forums, and saying that spores being illegal will make mushrooms impossible to find is well, just plain wrong. if spores are outlawed does that mean that all of the naturally growig mushrooms will suddenly stop spoouting? do you think that an underground network wont form?

its like saying because psuedo-ephedrine and ephedrine are being made illegal that there will be no more mteh ever, C'mon

the shroomery is incorporated, i dont think its a secret, and its incororation actually keeps the individual admins and mods free from any personal CIVIL liability. so if someone was to sue the shroomery for somthing that happened here. only the corpoation would take the hit, and the personal assets of the admins would be protected. this may go for the mods as well.... only if they recieved compensation for their work here... and could be considered emplpoyees...

We are indeed incorporated, we've set up an ownership plan amongst the admins so the power is spread equally with no one person controlling the site.

Plus of course the legal protection is nice too, we are still currently seeking legal representation for questions we have and of course for counselling on anything the website does.
