Old Pink (OG mod) said that it is most likely a server upgrade. There's a post in the ICMAG.com forums with some info.

Cannabisculture.com is saying that the server have been seized and the owners arrested. This is a sad day for pot, and a crisis for Canadien freedom.

I almost forget, if this is true it would be unwise to try to visit the site, even if you are a member. Best to find out from a third party if and when the site is safe to be on.

As of 2006 02 03 The website seems to be down. This may or may not be permanent. Rumor has it that the site operator (Richard Calrisian) has been arrested.
This has been confirmed.
From Gypsy Nirvana:
Sad News on RC...PLEASE READ... It is with great sadness that I bring you the news that RC and HS, OG and CW have been taken down by the authorities in Canada.....
...I have it from a bonofide source that it happened on monday and RC's computers/servers have most probably been siezed, they spent 2 days going thru his house and removed alot of stuff ...
His wife and some members of his family were also taken into custody and it's possible that she may be released tommorrow on bail....There has not been a peep in the media about this so there could be a reason why it was not advertised by LEO......BE WARNED! not to try and log on to Overgrow or Cannaworld for now since most certainly the security of that site has been compromised and if it comes back up without me first hearing from RC then it is NOT being run by him.....think about it!
...This could bring up some real security issues with many Overgrow/Cannabisworld members.........be warned guys and do what you need to do to make it safer for all of you.......duck and cover if needs be....
....Yours Faithfully...

I seriously hope we don't lose it permanently. There was so much information on there, it'd be a shame to see all that simply disappear.

A giant IVY vine grew all around the server and coated the transistor reflectors with crystalline like buds. This chain reaction cause the nutrient aeroponics sprayer nozzle to clog with the dust that had been circulating through the system. DUST overload, overgrow got dusted or is getting dusted. Shape up.

I have no idea why, but every time I see that white owl smiley, I crack up laughing. I guess I'm just easily amused.
And as for all of these Canadian websites getting shut down, that's what happens when you elect a conservative douche bag.

Well you americans say blame canada, and i say a portion is from you guys as well. our government tabled a vote awhile back to decriminalize weed, but many of our govt folk voted to keep it illegal so as not to cause crossborder tensions.
theres probably 50 diffrent people/entities to blame, but that doesnt help the fact of the matter.

You know this got me thinking about something. It is very possible that there might be a near future where all illegal drugs are completely controlled. It is possible that some of our sons and daughters will never know what it is to get high or trip.
The Illuminati is taking over and people don't even realize this. Fucking puppet agents doing the dirty work for a system with a plan that far exceeds their petty imagination. Fuck the law. Fuck politicians. Fuck Babylon. Fuck cops. I'm moving to my own planet to live with the animals and run naked in the woods with my magic shaman medicines.

the revolution must begin. this is one step too far.
we must rise up. hand in hand. interlinking fingers. and stand our ground.
we must fight for what we believe in. otherwise we will be stripped bare. we will be controlled. we must retaliate before its too late. the time is now.

I dont think the US has anything to do with it.

There are now 4 categories for which books are prevented entry to Canada, and can be detained for indefinite periods of time at the border. When customs officials on duty at the border, or working with the Canadian government mail company, perceive that a book, magazine, or film, coming through the border could possibly be defined under one of the following four categories, the material is sent by a chain of command to the federal capital in Ottawa, where one individual has the final decision as to whether the book, magazine, or video in question will be allowed through the border.
The 4 categories are:
1. HATE LITERATURE: Any book that names a specific group as being responsible for something in history or in society that will promote animosity among other people towards that group. For example he said revisionists and neo-nazis say the Jews are responsible for promoting the Holocaust stories to obtain sympathy and money; this is therefore classified as Hate Literature. 2. OBSENITY: This is subject to arbitrary decisions by government officials. Most types of pornography from simple exposure of genitalia to violent and degrading sexual acts are seized at the border, and some are returned and some are not after decision are made by the one person in Ottawa. 3. SEDITION: If the material encourages people to break any criminal law, or human rights code of ethics, of Canada 4. TREASON: When material promotes the overthrow of the leaders of Canada. This is an outdated law as many people today publicly promote the overthrow of the government to their friends and co-workers.
I need to hunt down this article I was reading the other week. It listed some of the books that are currently banned in Canada. These are books that any High School in the US has on its shelves everyday. It is really quite unbelievable.

That is really scary to think that the shroomery could suffer the same fate. I never visited the Overgrow forums to be honest. I am not a fan of pot these days at all. There were times when I was much younger that I smoked it every day, grew it inside, and all of that shit - but it just got old eventually - after like 10 years of doing it. Anyways, was there a bigger population there compared to the shroomery? More posting? Did they have general drug discussion forums?

Yes, it was all run by RC. The police took the servers. From what I have been able to gather the only people who have reason to worry are the ones who were on og and cw at the time it went down. Those with seed orders from heaven's stairway both in canada and the uk should not answer e-mails conforming weather you orderd seeds or not.
They busted him, his wife, and some family members. The bust has hardly hit the press yet if it even has mainly cause it's a ongoing thing. They spent two days taking stuff from his house. If things go as they have Rezdog will be next so I'm very sure he is taking steps as we have post. Not known if the U.S. is in on it like emery or not but emery had a lot more then seed sales going on.

This truly sucks. I'm incredibly pissed and bent out of shape now. I just can't even believe the Canadian government would pull this shit...if the server was the only reason for arrest. OG has SO much info on cannabis cultivation. There is really no comparison. I hope RC and his family are going to pull through without too much legal trouble. And I sincerely hope that he made a backup recently...and hid it well...
I guess the reason some think the American DEA is involved, is because of the fact that the Canadian government allowed the US to shut Marc Emery down.

Well, there was a significant population there...several months ago it was over 100k. Unfortunately, they did not allow posts about other drugs...except 'shrooms and a few other natural drugs.

backups are useless in a country where pot is illegal and a web board is sponsoring seed peddalers when all parts of the plant are illegal. if spores were illegal on a national level do you think the shroomery would be up and running right now?

Im surprised no one has thought about their connection to High Times. It will take at least 2 months to see any info on it in there but im sure it will at least try to reveal as much as possible on the subject.

I don't want to get caught up in a bunch of conspiracy theories... but I really hope that they weren't taken down!!
Man, fuck the DEA and fuck the Conservatives!!! Stephen Harpers needs to choke on a fuckin hooker's rag. He said that he's going to stand up for our country, but what a fucking hipocrite. I want my god damn sovereignty.
**Edit**
Thought that I'd bitch some more..
I never even cared much for marijuana laws because they really don't effect me. I walk down the street, smoke a joint, innocently front a gram to friends in need, smoke down with all my buddies and what have you. Now it IS affecting me. It's affecting "us" as Canadians and it's bullshit! I want a government that's going to protect otherwise law-abiding good guys! Now Marc Emery and two others are going to be extradited, tried under utterly INSANE laws and sentenced to federal prison for their entire adult lives. They're going to get longer than a murderer or pedaphile would in Canada for crying out loud. Marc's going to be the first, huge martyr in our marijuana defence. Jesus. People are worthless peices of shit.
