Those posts you guys are talking about is what make the Shroomery what it is. Questions get asked...and then stored away in page 1459 or whatever...Thus making it hard to find. Yes...you could just search...But then would the Shroomery be as active as it is today? It does get annoying to type the same response and the same things over and over..But why do we do it? We love mycology..I started out just wanting to try shrooms, since then..I actually love the hobby. Even IF I didn't like to eat shrooms I would still grow them. It is fun to start out as something and end up with beautiful mushrooms. As for growing in parent's houses without letting them know..This should be also addressed very majorly. It is unfair to the parents and almost impossible to get away with. And if they were caught by the law..Their parents would lose everything. I do agree, people need to give more thought into posting. But it will never happen. We will always have these newbies making dumb posts about "How much will I get from this?" But they do it because they are anxious. It is something very fun to get into and they want to rush, rush, rush. I do understand that, and I thank everyone here who helps those newbies. But we might as well accept them. The forum has been okay with them thus far, may another 10 years pass in good memory. We have morons and idiots here...But they also contribute to help this great library of knowledge. Agar, Roadkill, scat, diver. All of you. Thank you for spreading your knowledge. I would have never learned to grow without this website.

Perhaps there should be a noob forum. Some sort of AA for new cultivators.

"Hello, my name is Nilsen9491, and I'm a noob...."
"Hi Nilsen!" says the fellow noobs.

Maybe segregation isn't right, and perhaps it's even elitist, but that might help to some degree. Suppose you needed 200 posts to post in the same forum as Pornorob, maybe that would cut down on the frustration. A forum for the noobs, of the noobs, and by the noobs (a single tear falls). I for one can say though that I am very grateful for the advice given in this forum. I lurked around and read everything I could for months before posting, and even though my questions might have been stoopid and trivial to some, there are others, some with thousands of posts, that passed on their knowledge without bias, elitism, or a shitty attitude. Thanks folks.




I think to some degree this is a valid suggestion (the noob forum). It would force lazy folks to show a little initiative and actually search first.

However, there will always be those few new members who have genuinely novel ideas or questions that inevitably stimulate positive discussion between the seasoned vets of this hobby. Sometimes "good" noobs may go unnoticed because of their low post count.

ps. thanks to everyone for their contributions to this messageboard. I have been lurking for a long time, and have enjoyed success that I credit to this site.

OK ...This is my problem.... I've been a member here for a while and this is my first post. I am so f'ning sick of hearing people ask how much and how long. If you don't have the the mental capacity to search for info and don't have the time or patience to grow shrooms....THEN DON"T F'N DO IT!!!!!!!! It makes me think that most of the newbs on here are the stupid teeny bopper group looking to sell shrooms and make the " quick buck." It makes me sick to think that our population consists of so many peolpe that are plan too stupid or lazy to look for this info on there own. I'm sorry ofr the rant but I am on my second grow and have never had to ask a question ...all the info is here ....just don't be a F'n idiot and look for it!!!!!! rant over





Let the hate go...

Yes, there are a lot of newbies here nowadays, and yes a lot of them ask some very "simple" questions that they could more than likely figure out on their own via the search engine here. However, not everyone is at "your" level(whatever that may be). And please dont expect everyone to play by "your" set of "Internet social interaction" standards.

Patience is a virtue... The same newb you help out today could grow into a trusted friend/ally. I am pretty new here myself, but I have a mental list of people who have helped me grow and succeed. I have asked some pretty dumb questions myself and always got a friendly prompt answer. Isnt that what the Shroomery is all about?

The shift in this forum over the years has been interesting to observe. Some of the most skilled, talented people around here hide in the background anymore because nobody wants to deal with the newbs and their questions. Can you blame them? The top cultivators in this hobby were the the ones involved in everyday general cultivation discussion along with everyone else. Such is not the case anymore. There's just too many damn people coming in that don't genuinely care to learn about the process of growing mushrooms.

Annoying, lazy newbs will always be just that, the question is do you want to bother helping them, or not?




Diver,

Please dont feed into that negative attitude. As a newly appointed mod you should be above all that and be more than willing to offer advice to "noobs". Some of the "top" cultivators probably now have a damn good reason to "hide" in the shadows. Anyone ever see Magash porn...? And yeah I joined chat several times and it was polluted beyond belief... Not even worthwhile IMO.

Offer help to those who ask... if they come back with a more advanced question then you know they are genuine! If they want you to spoon feed them you should be able to pick up on that pretty fast.


Why complain about all the "noobs"? In today's world you are either growing or dying...

What is happening at OUR Shroomery?

I'd like to remind everyone that this is the Newbie forum.

This is where the new people come to learn how to grow.


I have alot of patience when it comes to newbies...
even though I never asked a question in here when I was a newbie.

I asked Anno 3 things in private messages and I asked Olgualion 1 thing about how he set up a cool mist fitting for a hose.  :smirk:
But I had alot of time on my hands to read everything...and I do mean everything!~
I was retired and had the time to read all the posts, all the teks and the back posts of people that I thought I could learn the most from.

There was talk of having 3 mushroom cult forums...several years ago.
Beginning, Semi Advanced and the Advanced Mushroom Cult.
This idea was shot down...and I don't think it would fly now.

I know it gets tiresome seeing the same titles day after day...but learn to look for what you need if you feel frustrated.

Alot of the newbies don't have the time to research stuff like some of us.
They appreciate people answering their questions.
Please don't be mean to the new people...they are our future.
You might scare off someone that might have something important to contribute at a later date...after they get the swing of things. :smile:


If you are really frustrated and want to still be helpful...but don't feel like typing out the answers...
just post links to the answers that they are looking for.
make a notepad on your computer...and put important links in the notepad and label them.
Example :
http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/25308  <-- shroomery site map

http://www.shroomery.org/index/par/23418  <-- contam guide



If you feel like going off on someone...walk away from the computer for awhile and take a break.
Please don't start flaming the newbies!~
Or I will have to give you a warning or ban you for 24 hours...so you will have time to cool off.
And I really hate playing policeman here in the Mush Cult!~



The only other thing I can say to the people that are frustrated is...

Teach others what you have been taught...or walk away and enjoy what you have learned.

And I thank everyone that takes the time to answer all the new peoples questions...there are alot of you out there so there is no need for naming names.

take care!~

much  :heart:
