BlueFrog, thanks for tracking that down for us. It does make sense and puts me at ease a bit more.

No reasonable judge would allow information about someone's drug usage or dealing as national security intelligence. It just won't happen.

is it possible to do a mass back up? something like the folding team? im not to server savy but it seems we should be able to each take on a bit of the server as a back up. i NEED the shroomery and am willing to take part in such a thing if its possible. this topic is something that needs to be stickied in every part of this forum. our unknown science can not die. we've got to create, evolve and pass it on. i would even like to see overgrow have their own section on our server, they are just as important as we are to the culture we represent. my outrage is only secondary to my sadness. we cant let the info die.

No offence, but having OG apart of this server sounds incredibly(sp?) risky .. or just plain stupid! I feel what your saying, and understand where your coming from. But the minute they take a real stab at mushrooms, means the end of more then just a web site! I for one would vote NO, for something like that. I don't think we need to be drawing attention to ourselves at this point.

 as sad as it is the OG is down, we DONT want to risk the shroomery to suit them, we're a mycological site.. There are tons of cannabis sites to take over and/or share with perserving the OG legacy
And about the general paranoia this has caused us, yes its tragic, yes we should have been more careful and yes anyone thats been here before has seen similar issues that caused site wide panic .. This is the third MAJOR scare thats ive seen personally
One thing i can say about the admins here is... tho they dont make tons of moneys of us, they still run this as a business.. they are VERY professional when it comes to the legalities ( even tho in doing so they sometimes get a lot of flack from the members).. they love the sites as much or more then we do, and they are VERY intelligent people! They are ALWAYS looking out for our best interest... something we need to remember when they lock a post because of content.. Or even before by not giving them a post that needs locked! 
we also need to understand... this board is NOT a private community. Its world wide. To much info can very well be your downfall, being too trusting with trading, posting too much personal info, showing those prime pics while setting on a full grow in process etc.
In 6 months the scare will be over and forgotten.. there will be a new group of newbies in here putting themselves and the site at risk, and until another tragedy nothing will be thought about it, BUT when another black cloud floats over us, we will be thinking " wow why in the hell did i post that, show that, tell that.
WISE UP NOW PEOPLE.
Again, its sad that OG is gone, same with the hive.. but im no grower and clandestine labs just isnt my scene ( tho i admit if legal i would have a couple nice white widow x stonehenge plants in my living room lol ), but i am a mycologist, thats my passion .. and I believe in protecting your own... and i consider the Shroomery my home!

I see the downfall of Overgrow as a lesson imo. We all need to work together overcome this setback. the Canadian and American goverment are trying to get our panties in a bundle and scare us. I for one, will not let them fuck me with a rusty spoon while I sit back and take it.
In a few years Bush will be gone, hopfully we'll get a more left wing president in this country and shit will start to look up.
however, I am still laughing that an excuse such as this "drugs fund terrorism" thats just fucking hilarious. I mean, it could be true to some extent, but thats more or less the shittiest claim ever. just to scare patriotic americans even more. "oh no, if my son buys a dime bag, hes promoting Osama to perform another act of terrorism" thats rich. I'm LoLing for real.

Ok, let's say the cops get a warrant somehow, (The possible grounds for the police to get a warrant for Overgrow in the first place are a mystery to me) and take Overgrow's servers apart, finding all our IPs, then what?
Don't they have a bit more than our IP's tho? Can't they get hold of the paypal records of who bought seeds and track down your credit card?
Would that be enough to raid your house?
I can even imagine the cops offering the owners of these sites a deal, give us the details of who you sold to and we'll go easier on your sentencing. I remember when the research chemicals bust happened pondman got 410 years while Micheal Burton, the owner of American Research Chemicals, gave up the details of all his customers and only got 14 years.

browndustin said: Are you to say that America hasn't been the least bit influencial? We're certainly aware that it's Canadians that are doing this right now, but we've been pretty damn relaxed in the past. I mean, we've been taxing these seed businesses for the past 10 years with absolutely NO quarral up until now. America's getting tighter and tighter every day, with the exception of tolerence for medicinal application in a few states.
what I'm saying is, if canada suffers from legal envy then canadians need to make a stand before it's too late, America can tighten up on the laws all they want and that affects canada in what way? Canada is a soveriegn country, you are not a territory/protectorate of the US, sure america can cut off trade with canada but how badly is that going to affect your economy, an initial down swing until you realize that trade with mexico involves a ship going out 12 miles, and then back in another 12... Canada can almost cripple the US, remeber that shit the US has pushed through the canadian wilderness, something that was probably protested for most of the 70's? The pipeline? What about our access to alaska? Nancy Reagan started the campaign, now canadians needs to reapply it for their own ends... JUST SAY NO to the USA.

I'm just as disappointed as the next Canadian that we're losing this battle when we've come so far. Have you ever spoken with people like Jack Layton before? He wants to legalize marijuana or at least bring in more sane laws to the house. Lots of NDP leaders like my local MP have less harsh opinions on marijuana laws.
there are plenty of people here that want to do the same, cops, judges, senators congressmen and the list keeps going, why do you think it hasnt happened yet? it's not america that stops it in canada, it's canadian people and government officials, under the current canadian laws posession of 30+ grams of marijuana result in a criminal charge, under the new bill that amount will be reduced to a mere 15 grams... canada is moving backwards! obviously lawmakers like Jack Layton arent doing much to stop it if the penalties are becoming stiffer
Quote:
I don't know why but I'm sensing a lot of resentment in your posts? We're fully aware that it was Canadian police that had arrested the website owners and seized their servers. What we're all hoping is that above all, they're prosecuted under Candian laws which are still far less severe. The whole shitstorm is that we don't want OUR Canadians prosecuted under YOUR American laws. We don't want them prosecuted at all. But you know what I'm saying, right? These guys aren't crooks under our law. How could they be? They've been paying their taxes, they're law abiding citizens...
according to canadian laws, all parts of the the plant is illegal that includes seeds, certainly they are not crooks but they are criminals under canadian law or else the charges couldnt be levied against them in canada, a common misconception of canadians is that our laws are more harsh, they're virtualy the same and in some cases more severe, did you know that if you are caught importing or exporting illegal drugs to/from canada you very well could serve life in prison?

I still disagree with most of that for many different reasons. But I don't wanna toss opinions back and fourth cause I don't want anything to get heated. The one thing I will say is that America, or the DEA rather, is TOTALLY, 100% trying to force their laws/morals/bs onto Canadians. I was at a rally where John Walters and Karen Tandy showed up and sputtered bs for what seemed like hours. They constantly make threats about cutting off our trades and leaving Canada in the stone age. I can't beleive that this stuff flies. Then again, both Americans and Canadians hate the DEA sooooo.....

I think we were definitely headed in the right direction. I know that morally and socially, marijuana's far more accepted with each and every day. I don't know anyone who really has a quarrel with weed anyways? Are there any left in Canada? Apparently so... and it's our fucking RCMP. It shouldn't have come as a surprise.

Well i have been thinking about it for a while now and basically this pushed me over the edge. I am very outspoken about pot use but never thought about stepping up and doing something. I didn't like my previous major and have been thinking about political science. Well i am deffinately going into that field now and im gonna go fight the good war. I am just glad i am still at an age where i can step up and fight for my future.

Perhaps you should take responsibility for your own government and attempt to change it instead of bitching about the U.S.'s influence.
