When is an account abandoned? We have people who posted a few dozen times lose their interest in psychedelics, then return after a few years and become very active members. also historically it would be wrong if a newbie by mistake took on the name of an oldtime poster. It makes tha archives fuzzy.

WS,
I think he has a great idea and I have been thinking along the same lines for quite awhile now.
We have too many good names taken...that could be free'd up.
There are alot of 1 or 2 post posters that their posts don't even show up anymore...they are basically dead accounts.
There are also alot of old names that people lost the passwords to...that only have a few posts. thats why they didn't come back and post again under that name. They came back and made another name to post under.
I get these kind of pm's all the time... "Road I lost my password...can you help me get it back". I tell them to contact Geo.
As the Shroomery grows...less names will be available.
Freeing up these puppet and dead accounts...would be a great idea...IMHO.
Deleting old user names that have alot of posts...and that are useful. wouldn't be good...as you said.

I've said this too many times, noone answers and the library still doesn't work. Torrent is the best way to distribute, I can't use that soulseek bullshit.
Sounds like a good idea but there are some problems... first, tracker. We would need one and I still don't know how to create it.
Second, there's a reason I don't have the library working all the time. Do you know how much space and bandwithd it takes to host all those files? A lot, let me tell you. Not only that, but also it took Learyfan and me months to get all those files and oranize them in a fashion that would be usable by everyone.
Third, I was tired of giving up all my bandwithd and gettin' nothing in exchange. The lirary was open for what, 9 months or more? During all that time I couldn't even see my email whithout waiting for it to load for several minutes since all y upload was given to the library. I mean, I like to give to the community, but that's one thing an another is being stupid
So anyway, this doesn't mean I'm not opening it again at all, I'll probbaly open it very soon, but let me think about the best way to do it for everyone. I'll even make a poll to see what you guys prefer
Until then (a few days) be patient please

Torrent is the best way to distribute a large file package such as a library. I do not use windows, so I can't use soulseek. Then again, why would you use a peice of crap like that to distribute files?
Torrents make the most efficient use of bandwidth of any of the file sharing networks, plus it is open source and works for linux, mac and windows.
As long as we have seeders to keep the file healthy, people will be able to download. It may be a bit slower than leeching off of deepman but it is more fair and self sustaining that way.

just a comment on the nuts-and-bolts aspects of [Mycotopia] being the best site around.
even if i was not prejudiced in favor of topia i think i'd notice that our vbulletin-based board is superior to that of the shroomery or the nook.
1. we have the image browser to pull out all pix in any thread or even entire forums, all of a members' posts. no one else has that.
2. when you mouse-over a thread here you can read the first couple sentences to see what's inside. you can't do that at all at shroomery and all you get at the nook is thread start date, etc. info already plainly displayed.
3. we can merge related small threads into one comprehensive thread on a topic, taking say 4-5 threads on the treasure coast strain each only a few posts long and combine them into one. no one else does that.
4. we have no maximum daily limit for picture uploads like shroomery. no one has to pay to upload more pix, we welcome the pix.
i'm sure i could think of a few more advantages if i tried...
5. our search engine is better integrated, we can search like the others but we can also narrow our search to within individual threads.
6. we still have the discus board archives with it's nested threads and we also have the vaults here, the largest organized data bank of the 3 shroom boards by far. the others have a little, but ours are larger, and much more extensive on nearly any topic.
PS_ i'll give shroomery a point tho'- i like that you can choose 'all' and get even a large thread displayed on 1 page

As for deleting old accounts. I registerted two years ago, posted about 4 times, then vanished.
Then I came back, and now look at my post count *laugh*, then again - I could of easily just re-registerted and it wouldnt of been to much skin off my back.
One thing that would be nice to see added - is a notice if you are about to necropost (pump a old/dead thread).
With the "related threads" at the bottom of the post, its very easily to click on the thread, read it, then go and post a reply and not realize you are bumping a 3yr old thread.
Now and then, this is fine - as some of the old threads have good info that is nice to bring up again.
But, maybe some sort of notice "you are about to bump a thread that is greater than 6 months old" - would be handy. Maybe either stop them from posting in it period - or, just give them the notice that they are about to do that, and they could just start a new thread on that topic.
*shrug*
and/or - add a date-range filter to the 'related threads' perhaps? only show related threads newer than 6 months.
just an idea

Speaking entirely personally here.. I fucking LOVE when people bump old threads. No, I'm not talking about bumpin' just to bump -- but an honest and thoughtful reply or question relating to an archaic discussion. It just makes me happy to see topics of the past revived with fervor and excitment, passion, and debate. Rekindle history, for the ages!

Disable the popup preview for PM's. It poses a problem when using read-reciepts. All the recipient of the message has to do is view the preview, and delete it. They can read what the message has to say, but the sender has no idea if it was read or not.

kaniz i did the same thing, I think i had just under a hundred before I stopped posting and ever since I got put on probation I have been posting a lot more, it helps to keep me out of trouble.
How about this if you havent used your account in a year then you need 3 ratings to keep it around, if its two years then 5-10 ratings would be needed. This is a better way to distingish unused accounts I think. My numbers might be off, but I think that ratings prove yourself more a memeber than a post count.
