I was talking to the admins, the date is coincidental, they just are bored of running the site, it's pretty obvious really, I mean look at all the name changes and such that have been happening.

well if its not a april fool then people should just start deleting their posts right away
A: We have archived our server logs since January 12, 2003 to help us track puppets, bad traders and hackers. These archives include full Apache access and error logs, firewall connection logs and mySQL query logs. You will also have access to backup copies of all e-mails and private messages which have passed through our server during this time period, and all billing records from our online store. There should be numerous ways the new owner of the Shroomery can make profitable use of this detailed information.
or if this is true, someone should go kick some admin ass 
i still think its april 1st joke

A really cruel joke/prank if it is one, and not the best way to show your sponsers/vendors or members you thank them for their business.
If it is real, then I hope the admin. get screwed over by paypal and ebay and the leo that are loving the idea of purchasing such a site.

I believe that anyone in the U.S.A. is safe from having thier information sold with this transfer without such persons permission. Due to the H.i.P.P.A. law (human information privacy and portability act) Which our I.P. addresses fall under along with any other personal information that might be listed on this site. i.e. e-mail adresses and private messages. If you reside in the usa and this imformation is transferred without your permission you can file a federal suit against all parties involved in the transfer. (system admins, owner, and buyer (for accepting this information without a signed waiver)

ythan can bid 2000000000000$ (via a puppet account or whatever) and pay it to himself at the end ofthe auction , and if someone manage to bid higher than that in the last second he should just sell it lol

if blinkidiot buys the site, i wouldn't mind & things could continue as normal (except he should make me an admin since they'll obviously be a need for php/mysql/*nix programmers ) - however if any unknown 3rd party buys the site, and Ythan/whomever refuses to delete users at their request beforehand, i'd think some sort of class-action might be called for...

script said: Come on guys this is OBVOUSLY a joke. I question Thor and Ythan sometimes, but they would never do this. Let?s bid it up, im the high bidder now
shroomery is a fucking sell out I can understand selling a car or a house. But not a fucking community. There is not telling what will happen, God knows who will win and what their plans for the shroomery are.

Ythan said: Well I must admit I wasn't expecting this to come to light quite yet. I knew it wouldn't remain secret forever but we were hoping to finalize more of the details before going public with an announcement. I really don't have much information now, like what this will mean for the future of the page or our users. A lot of it depends on the winning bidder and their plans. However, I urge you all the have faith that God will look over the site and lead it on a path both fair and righteous.

It's gotta be an elaborate April fools joke:
Q: Why are you selling this site? Are there any legal problems I should be aware of? Mar-31-06
A: No, throughout our many years of operation the Shroomery has never been the target of any type of litigation. However, as the site's administrators began accepting Christ into our lives, we have become somewhat disillusioned with the subject matter provided by the Shroomery. In Genesis, God says specifically: 'I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has the breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food.' Mushrooms aren't green. They bear spores, not seeds. Clearly, The Lord Our God never intended the existence of such an unholy species. It is with great shame that we look upon our history of heresy, and only by ridding ourselves of this sinful website may we hope someday to beg for God's mercy and forgiveness.
