Overgrow has been seized thread!!!

There needs to be a sticky in every forum warning members who might also post weed grows on Overgrow
that OVERGROW HAS BEEN SEIZED BY POLICE
and that part of the deal is that they have not gone public with this in the mainstream media PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY INTEND ON BUSTING PEOPLE based on what they gather from the server which they seized!!
I think therefore this information should be made public on the Shroomery at the top of every forum, since it will undoubtedly reach MANY people who definately need a HEADS UP right now!!!! Thanks.

Also, I don't think it would be a good idea to even try to log onto OG right now, and if it does come back up, especially in the next few days/weeks it should be considered to be run by police unless official word from the site's owner has come down through multiple alternate sources other than OG.

You know, it may be a wise idea to discourage people from talking about what drugs they have on hand right now on the shroomery/etc.
At times I thought maybe I was just being paranoid when I thought it was a bad idea to post in threads like 'share your stash'/etc, and bragging about what drugs you have on hand right now
But then, news like this - makes me think I'm being rightfully paranoid.

The fed would be more interested in the cultivators here than in whoever has a couple of hits and a dime bag.
In my opinion this smells like part two of the whole "DEA goes to Canada" episode, starring Marc Emery and friends...
...which means that it can be assumed that the U.S. DEA now has the Overgrow server. It's probably already in Washington D.C. being dissected and analyzed.

As a long time OGer... urban botanist... and shroomery reader, i find this VERY... VERY... disturbing. I was on OG several times a day, however, i thought posting pics of grows was ALWAYS a bad idea, now im glad i never did. Me 1 Guy-In-The-Black-Car-Outside-My-Apt 0
Muahaha! But seriously... its a sad sad thing to contemplate how overgrow will be nothing but a memory.
I always thought their FAQ was lacking, didnt like the format very well, although its a good start for a LOT of newbs. The forums rocked, strainguide was my hero, and every week i knew those silly guys would be at it again with yet another amazing weekly winner budshot.
I think a central growing resource will show up again, with better more precise + technical info then the OvergrowFAQ, with hopefully a lot of knowledge put in from old OG members (millions of uncounted tips and strategies in the endless growlogs and threads!)
RIP overgrow... May we learn from our mistakes And start anew, better then original

Maybe in 2007 they'll get around to it...
Bush will be buzy with the OG database for a while. That degree of analysis will require at least a room of 100 agents and 45 days to digest.
I think we're good until at least the fourth of July.

No, they won't.
No one here is making millions from growing and selling shrooms. 
It's all about money.
BTW, does this have anything to do with our RC? As in Randolf Carter?

Weed makes money. That site provided crucial information to thousands of growers across North America. Shutting it down would be a crippling blow to the sharing of information amongst growers.
Shrooms don't make that much money in comparison to weed grow-ops, which are a huge problem to the government.
We already had a guy die here and this site was made publically known because of it. Nothing happened. If the same thing would have happened at OG, it would have been shut down immediately. They care about this site about as much as they'd care about Erowid.  No one's really making considerable amounts of money here, so they don't give a shit.
And what's the deal with RC?

I think they will make spores illegal before they go shutting down this website.
I think the whole premise of shutting down OG is going to be based on them letting people advertise illegal seeds on their website. They won't officially be shutting them down for speach related crimes because they won't have to. They have a more "legitimate" reason for shutting them down.
That's how I perceive the situation anyway.
I think our big weakness is the marketplace, and people trading spores. I don't think anybody with an active grow should be trading anything.
They shouldn't even have any fresh or dried shrooms in the house if they are trading. I wouldn't have more than a small bag of weed and some pipes if it were me.

PM's older than 90 days are automatically removed from the server (unless you have a supporter account and enabled to save them).
RC is not our Randolph Carter (who has been quiet due to a problem in getting a modem he ordered off eBay) - the RC spoken of here it is the man behind the four websites listed that got busted: Richard Calrisian. Click here for an archive of reports thus far released.

Amen. If you ever mentioned you had any drugs in any posts on the shroomery it would be wise to either delete the posts or make damn sure you have absolutely every illegal thing you have buried 6 foot under the ground somewhere.

Well... on the lighter side, Ive spend the majority of today going through the google cache of overgrow.com's growFAQ data and downloading its relivant data to text files... google doesnt cache images, but most of the data is still worthy of saving. here it is along with someone elses grow guide who posted it earlier on the site... I just added to the zip file. If anyone wants to spend the time remaking the growFAQ also started doing this with the strain guide but theres just too much data to go through for one person... oh and using the in site:"http://www.overgrow.com/strainguide" good data begins after page 10... just FYI

This I would have to agree with, but jst because spores are legal, doesnt mean we're safe. Cultivating is still illegal across the country and is gaining notice.. we're not just a few hundred, we've grown to tens of thousand.. that enough to catch the eye of LEO.

YES!!!!! But all through the site I see problems...
as an example joe blow is having a pinning problem, or possible contam issue.. Whats the second thing said to him ( the first is look at the faq/search engine) this is followed by " post a pic so we can see what your problem is bro":.... lol joe posts a pic in less then the time it takes to finish your budweiser.
HOW FUCKING STUPID IS THAT?
Or another one that always blows my mind.. I'll post updates of the second/third/fourth flush in a few days This TELLS everyone you have a continious grow in process.. and is backed up by sometimes MANY photo's.
The marketplace may seem like the soft spot, but actually its begginner cultivation and grow logs& pics. If you pay attention to details, thats where the most info is given out about people that may be breaking the law.. and is usually documented.
no one can say i didnt order that print im trading from one of our fine vendors, or maybe it was recieved as a freeby on an order, and i just want to view a different strain under my scope..
1) never trade with anything illegal going on in your house, even if you use a different dummy address for recieving supplies/trades
2) THINK before you post a pic. let the photo's build up, and post them AFTER the experiement if finished, and WAY before you plan on starting the next.
3) KNOW YOUR RIGHTS... just in case.. norml is the best place to learn, I do think that there should be more info and sticky threads in the security forums, and those should be also stickied into the cultivation, grow log, and ODD.
4) always remember to not post anything that your wouldnt want LEO to read, cause there is a real good chance he may be...

Personally, I think newbs should be growing Oysters, not Cubes. It takes pretty mutch the same technique and conditions, and they can post pictures till their eyes bleed without having to worry about the government taking their life away.

Just a reminder... growing mushrooms is not illegal across the entire world. Just because some people live in the police states of america doesn't mean we all do. Some of us actually live in places that have freedom of body and mind along with freedom of the press.

In Colorado anything under an ounce is just a petty offense.... not even a misdemeanor.... and as of this year by law in Denver you are actually allowed to posess up to an ounce if you're over 21.... not to say this is actually how it is being enforced

All of these states are still part of the union, and under federal law, ANY amount of cannabis is an illegal felony. It doesn't matter what your state or city laws say...
I dare anybody that doubts this to walk to the DEA office in Denver with a few ounces of cannabis, roll a joint, and start puffing away. You will be locked up so fast your head will spin...

Yes! Around here if you get caught with less than a half ounce of Cannabis you'll probably get 6 months probation.
The same amount of dried shrooms will land you about 90 days in the local jail and 1-2 years supervised probation. If they find proof that you were cultivating you'd probably get a year or more in jail and 5-6 years of supervised probation.

Yes, safety in number, but when the number gets up there...
The RIAA would be an excellent example.

Well you won't find 'em in this story. Nevertheless, I've made an effort to consolodate a chronology of the postings relating to this incident in the header post [here]. I believe enough time has gone by that anyone with anything to lose would have taken notice as well as proper precautions by now.. so I unstickied the global announcement.
People can draw their own conclusions.
