have you guys seen this ? I am really bummed, this girl had some of the best set ups. I guess it's most distressing because she was just standing up for the people that actually need help.

A bunch of people were praising this new sponsor - she notices they are charging twice as much as other sponsors for the same products, and charging 50% more for hygros than they retail. Anyway, she basically said peace to the shroomery and deleted all her posts. I'm glad I've already read most of them.

Your starting to sound like a broken record now...since you made your point clearly known in this whole thread.

Evidently you don't like their prices...so go buy your stuff else where!~

problem solved!~

:grin:




I appreciate that roadkill was trying to smooth things over and just say, "Enough, we have both sides." 

Seriously, though.  That sort of pricing is bullshit and, well, if you're that fucking stupid to buy that shit and not do it smarter and cheaper, you deserve to be stolen  from. 

Hippiechick is right, for sure.  But, Mycoshack has a market: That is the dumbass twat bitches that want everything done for them and have no interest in mycology.  :shrug: 

They can all go fuck themselves and if they make a business off of fools, then, it sucks to be their customers.  But, then again, those customers will never know the difference.  :shrug:

I hope we aren't trying to make fools out of people in our community. People come here for help, because they don't know how easy this can be. I guess I ultimately want more trippers out there, so i want more happy successful growers.

For people to just search the net and buy this stuff, sure, but to mislead your community into thinking it is something shroomery supports and endorses, two thumbs down.

I guess it all comes down to what you want to support. I want to support a friendly open honest community. One that helps its members, not preys on their lack of knowledge.

I am extreme though, I don't support the war, I don't support sweatshops, I don't support things I feel very strongly about.

And part of the reason I am so disturbed by this is that I feel like a lot of really bright amazing helpful giving people have been disappearing, and that makes me sad, I just found this place.

she's also being really lame and immature.

if she really cared about these people she so dramatically states she is trying to look out for and help, then she wouldn't be going back and deleting ALL of her posts in the mush cult forums as i'm typing this. that's not hurting mycoshack and it's not helping anything. the only people it hurts are the ones she is supposedly looking out for. 

this is equivalent to that spoiled kid you all knew when you were about 8 years old that got mad about something and took his/her toys and left to spite you and your friends.

this is pretty poor form for Hippiechick.

I can't imagine what's going through her head, a little conceited and full of self-importance. It's great that she is so dedicated to protecting fellow shroomery people, I don't see how deleting all her posts is helping anyone.

hypocrit?

Like someone said, if a sponsor/vendor wants to make money by ripping people off, that's their business. No body forces people to buy shit.

She has DEDICATED for FREE a lot of her time to HELPING people do things for a little cost as possible. she has GIVEN many things away to shroomerites to HELP them.

If it's going to become all for profit on here, maybe those same dumbass people that keep getting referenced can send her a money order for $19.99 for the hippiechick tek manual and then it will fit right in.

All I'm saying is you gotta have standards.

And as far as drama goes, I guess things like protesting our presence in iraq is drama, but damnit, what are you supposed to do, rollover and pull your pants down?

Nice comparison. I was just thinking how MycoShack's selling of over-priced hygrometers is very much like the war in Iraq.

Exactly my point.


All I'm saying is that I'm probably not going to donate money to the shroomery now. I think instead I will donate it all to the torrent sites I frequent. I know, its not like my 50 or 100 dollars matters that much, but now I just feel differently. This isn't the community I thought it was, obviously. And knowing they take money from people and aren't looking out for the shroomerites, disappointing.


Doesn't mean I will delete all my posts, or stop answering the few questions I can for people. I also didn't spend a crap load of my time putting together awesome teks and giving things away to people.

look u gotta understand , Shroomery supports itself with banners, advertising, thats what makes the world go 'round on the internet. they cant say Oh your prices suck so we wont take your money to support our site. whos gonna pay for the servers the bandwidth then, the Users definately cant support the whole thing, i think u underestimate the costs involved in keeping this community alive.

more like welcoming a new sponsor. a little early to praise him.

mycoshack made a post with this:
Also we're still offering the Taylor 1459 Remote Wireless Temp/Humidity Gauge but we've found a better supplier, so they are now $45. Anyone who has already ordered will receive a partial refund and a free culture syringe. We apologize for the inconvenience!

-- see, but hippiechicl jumped the gun and went ahead and deleted her posts, this whole issue is just tragic and this new sponsor seem to be no worse than others here anyways and I for one welcome him here as new sponsor

this whole drama thing -- just sad

"You'll be assured timely service at a reasonable price, and by supporting our sponsors you'll be helping to support The Shroomery as well."

http://www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php

I know the shroomery needs money to run. I understand that. I understand we need sponsors. So maybe this line on the sponsor's page should be slightly amended to say something else.

it's such a non issue...
HC was indeed standing up for all of us and i think made her point rather well... and that's that!
roadkill was also doing his job and suggested she should calm down since she made her point... he wasn't backing the sponser which is also pretty darn good... just keeping the order!

she just kinda over reacted that's all
i'm sure we're all behind her on this one (including shroomery staff!)

fresh, alot has changed here... alot for the better, so you're right, it does cost alot to keep this maintained and to subsidize the time and effort and energy that our administrators devote to this site.  I do remember a day before there were any banners here though.

Although I agree hippiechick is overreacting by deleting her posts, I think I can understand a reason she might do it.  If I felt that the shroomery began advertising businesses that take advantage of the community that I had spent alot of time helping, I might not want to be part of the shroomery, or have any part of what goes on here.  And thogh it is obvious we do advertise rip-off companies here, I choose not to care because the shroomery has become a monstrous hodgepodge now, not a simple community...

SOoo theres no reason to reduce what little actual content is left on this site. :frown:

We do take money, because the site requires money to maintain and grow. However, it is quite disheartening to hear that you believe we aren't looking out for shroomerites in so doing. I can only offer you my words of assurance that all of the admins and sponsors' forum moderators make a strong honest effort to ensure that vendors are operating in an ethical fashion and treating their customers professionally and respectfully. We take all complaints seriously and have dismissed sponsors in the past due to inappropriate business practice and will continue to investigate any concerns regarding our current group of sponsors.

As for pricing, that is largely up to the vendor - and it is the responsibility of any good consumer to shop around. This is the internet afterall, so one can compare prices at any number of online outlets, Shroomery Sponsors or not, without even moving from their chair! While I do empathize with the desire to help propogate the mushroom culture and help others interested in cultivation by offering altruistic deals and advice, I do not hold pity for those who would jump to purchase the first item they see at any retailer, without learning for themselves what the general pricing trends are for the given item. Hell, I keep items in my Amazon shopping cart for MONTHS sometimes, so that I can keep a ready list of that which I'm interested in, yet still have time to compare the prices of those items elsewhere before deciding to hand over my money. Ultimately, it is always up to the consumer whether or not a vendor's price is "too high" - because if it in fact is, not many will pay it and the vendor will then have to either lower prices or go belly up!

This is also very important to consider. Seven or eight years ago when we had little to no banners on the site, our hosting costs were equally as benign in comparison to the mammoth stack of circuitry and juice that needs to keep this site steamin' ahead today. As the person primarily responsible for managing our assets and costs, I can tell you that in 2005, the Shroomery expended over $33.3 thousand dollars to maintain this website as well as add new features and hardware. That's a pretty pack o' pennies, and it's only going to become a heavier burden as we gain in girth, users, and monthly traffic.

So please, keep the feedback coming, let us know when you feel that we are doing things wrong, but I also ask that you trust us enough so that we can make decisions with the best interests of the community at heart. This won't equate to preservation, as change is inevitable.. but I promise that I will do what I can, within my available time, to ensure that we put serious thought and consideration into the ongoing management of our growth. This place will never be exactly what it was or what it is, and what it will be is many different things over many different times. Sorry for gettin' a little tangental here, but it's just not very fun to see people saying things about us such as "knowing [we] take money from people and aren't looking out for the shroomerites."

We try.
We make mistakes.
We try again.

that kind of advertising should be banned (if it's not already) becouse it's too agressive and out of place! that's not what growlogs and pictures should contain...

I'm not involved with their business and I have no idea what type of overhead costs they have to handle. Nor do I consider myself an expert on the prices of various supplies used for mushroom cultivation. Quite frankly, it is not my place to tell a third-party vendor what they can or can't charge.. I only expect them to treat their customers professionally and with respect, and for their products to do as advertised. If they can't do that, they'll be out of here pretty quick. People will pay what people will pay and businesses will have to adjust accordingly, that's just how capitalism works. Of course a monopoly brings forth greater concern, but I'd hardly consider MycoShack as having a monopoly on the grow medium market.. whenever people PM or email me asking questions about supplies I simply tell them they might find what they're looking for at www.shroomery.org/sponsors.php or if they have a large discount retailer nearby like a Wal-Mart, they should go there first. It's up to the consumer to make their choice, not the vendor and certainly not me.

I agree Geo! Its just sad we got to deal with a shmuck like that.

Any buisness man would have had everything all neat and in place and figured out before he even opened for buisness..... I dunno its just not cool or profesional in my book. I would expect to see profesionals selling to the newbs, not just newbs selling to newbs.....

> and spesifically posting that 7th flush pictures thread (even i noticed how fishy THAT was...)

I have spoken at length with the given vendor all morning, and have provided my council as to how I feel they could improve upon their marketing.  As for this "seventh flush" thread.. where is it?  I just did a couple searches for "7th flush" and "seventh flush" and nothing seemingly related is coming up.  I should note that in speaking with one of representatives of the vendor in question, they have stated they did not personally report, post, or encourage this 7th flush story... whatever and wherever it may be.

:confused:

i do agree with geo on the point that it is NOT the shroomery's responsibility to police the vendors, that would be ridiculous. I just dont think threads complaining about those vendors that reflect negatively on them should be closed.

Thats why I didn't close that thread.

I usually don't close a thread til its a flamefest or full on trolling of the Vendor...in that forum.

I'd like to see people post complaints in a more professional and business like way...
rather than some of the immature and childish posts that are sometimes posted.

I mean come on...
You don't walk into a business and say half the crap that you see posted in the Vendors forum.
In the real world most people handle themselves in a professional way.

Imagine me walking into Home Depot and saying...
You fucking assholes ripped me off...your Vermiculite fucking sucks balls I want my money back now biotch!~
They would look at me like I was fricken insane...and tell me to leave their store.

---

I entered that thread in the Vendor forum to cool HC's jets...a notch.
All she had to do was address the issue and behave.
She chose to keep trolling and pestering the Vendor...an attack.
She was attacking Mycoshack!~
I know this for a fact...because she told me so in pm's.

So don't think for a minute that she wasn't attacking them...because she was!~

I'm pretty upset over this ordeal...
I probably lost a good friend over doing my job...because I won't be biased when it comes to following the rules.
Anyone that breaks the rules in the forums that I moderate will be held accountable...even my friends and family.



sometimes it sucks to be me!~

have a nice day!~

:smile:

mine sucks balls!~

i dunno... but it's fishy as hell...
and quite frankly even if it is genuine i don't think that style of post should be allowed on that forum...

whatever though... it doesn't make much diffrance really... geo is right and people should judge for themsleves!
i just hope we won't suffer the same fate as OG did (and i'm talking about prebust OG... the cesspool of misinformation and no standards... sure it had lots of good but it also had way too much bad)

now i think that's enough drama for today!

Highly unlikely, there is no IP or information match that would lead me to suspect as such - not to mention that the vendor apparently didn't know of the thread until people started calling him out on it recently.  Also, that Room4Shroom guy's been around a while and has decent ratings.. I just think this is getting a little blown out of proportion imho.

Me too.  It'll require diligence from all of our knowledgeable and helpful users to combat - because as any community grows, the potential for conflicting information will increase.  Let's just do our best to keep that from happening.. in a cool and collected manner of course! :grin:

I think Hippiechick was just overall in a bad mood. I have seen her around on previous threads and she usually tends to be the sweet heart. Her criticism was constructive, but one can only go so far. MycoShack would probably appreciate feedback so he can better his new growing business, but please keep in mind we are not trying to demotivate the sponsors, or give them a bad rep. A business can be a tough thing to run, we should all just welcome this new sponsor and not flame. We should save the complaining for when its suitable. A large percentage of most business make money out of the ignorance of others, and honestly I see nothing against it. The economy needs dumb people as much as smart people. There is a big difference between posting in forums and talking to people personally, but we should still be careful how we show our innuendo. These are real people trying to make a living, I would just show utmost sincerity at all levels with everyone here, and try to keep conversations on the mature level. I see too much of this ganging up sort of attitude on the shroomery, and honestly I hate it. If one person has something bad to say about someone, everyone else starts joining in, and thats real childish to me. We are good people, nice people, not to mention adults. We should all start considering the fact that people on this forum truly do have feelings, and we should always keep that in mind.

agreed :thumbup:
even if there is no connection (they don't have to be the same person... it could be a friend or some sort of connection) i still hate reading those kind of posts... if i was moding that forum i might have asked for it to be eddited or something becouse it might be missleading to some people!
but i'm not... and i'm not gonna complain forthur...
like i said, that is enough drama for one day  :tongue:

Not sure where you got that idea. IP's are deleted from time to time, but not daily to be sure. If you are that concerned about your safety, you either shouldn't be posting what you're posting, or should be doing so from a public library or a proxy server. Conduct yourself on this website in the same manner you would conduct yourself speaking with a friend in the supermarket, a street-corner, or a bank... 'cause if you live in a place where a part of your freedom has been outlawed (ie. drug consumption or cultivation for personal use) and are choosing to ignore that infringement on what I would consider to be an innate human right, you should never let your guard down.

When your long held view/belief of something has become shattered or warped you tend to act in ways that you normally dont.

I agree with hippiechick, i support her beliefs and thoughts on this issue, i personally dont like these mycoshack guys and find them to be extremely shady. Their actions in that thread have only added to my assumptions about them. 60 dollars for a hygro is a.)fucking insane b.) bad business c.) fucking insane. Then to come back a day later and say "oh yah, we paid way to much for those, problem solved" just drips with shadyness. Id put money on the fact that they already paid a cheap price, saw what an uproar hippie caused, and then "fixed" the problem a day later. /conspiracy theory

At the same time i disagree with the methods hippie used to convey her feelings and thoughts. Anger/Temper has a way of clouding even the most sound of minds, i often have to force myself to take a step back when i become involved in heated situations. I PM'ed with her a bit last night and did my best to get her to take that step back for another day or two before continuing to delete any more of her valuable information. Luckily (and maybe not on my own) i think she understood what i was trying to say and stopped deleting at that moment.

RK had to make a tough choice, choosing between a friend and his duties, i fully stand behind what he posted. I hope for him and hippie that they can work through this. Hopefully she can see that his job here at the shroomery is above the friendships you form on this board. At times we are forced to do things we do not like, but, we have to treat everyone on this board the SAME, regardless of post count or history. Hopefully hippie can see this and overcome her feelings (whatever they may be) to RK and the rest of this community.

Point is, we <3 ya hippie, you're an invaluable asset to this community. It would be a shame to see you give up on us because of one shady vendor, in time if they dont live up to our standards they will be given the boot. Hopefully you can realize this and come back to the mush cult, and the rest of the, forums here. I know ill always welcome you with open arms, im sure everyone else will too.

To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe. . . .

i really am glad you came back to us instead of taking the other path. *hug*

Also , from some PM's I recieved from some recently retired mods , the belief is that if this place were to go the way of overgrow , those in charge would do whatever it took to save their asses , including gladly giving up the servers .

I was willing to put my "ass" on the line , and the boards , for something iI believed in , I'm just not willing to do it for something I don't anymore

That's respectable in my opinion.

The board doesn't generally help people delete their post histories, etc. I see their reasons why. Perhaps if I knew where they draw the line I'd be a little happier. Hopefully it's somewhere closer than where MJ does.

When I first got here, I think I remember the idea that users couldn't delete the PICTURES they uploaded. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but that's fucking nuts. The shroomery liked keeping a gallery, etc I guess.

overgrow was busted because the owner sold seeds. i dont think ythan is selling mushrooms of any kind or breaking any law. there is a huge diffrence in how shroomery is runned and financed and how overgrow made its money. I have always known that shroomery was located in the US, i have not once read anything that should indicate otherwise.

And overgrow thing - happend in canada
