and remember....
no MEANS no
-------------------- PEACE zippoz "in times of widespread chaos and confusion, it has been the duty of more advanced human beings - artists, scientists, clowns, and philosophers - to create order. In such times as ours however, when there is too much order, too much m management, too much programming and control, it becomes the duty of superior men and women and women to fling their favorite monkey wrenches into the machinery. To relieve the repression of the human spirit, they must sow doubt and disruption" "People do it every day, they talk to themselves ... they see themselves as they'd like to be, they don't have the courage you have, to just run with it."

Unless the server crashes and the backups fail. Then accounts are deleted.

Yes exactly. So my message to anyone who wants their account deleted is: wait for the server to crash and the backups to fail.

I was going to ask him to delete my account as well, but he'll consider it a worthy opportunity to make a rare exception to his aforementioned policy on deletion of accounts.

It screws up the context of old threads and makes it impossible to search those users' posts or ignore them. It also takes some effort to do properly, and I'm still finding cruft in the database from accounts deleted years ago. 90% of the requests are from paranoid users who don't actually need their account deleted. And finally I don't want people to get in the habit of making self-incriminating posts, then counting on an immediate response from an admin in the event of an emergency. I know there has been some confusion and inconsistency about this in the past, so make no mistake - from this day forward, it doesn't matter if the DEA is busting down your door - your account ain't being deleted. You're always free to go back through your old messages and edit out any incriminating statements, and that's what I suggest people do. But if you're still uncomfortable with this policy you shouldn't post on the Shroomery.

F.G.: yea, I had to google that one <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruft
The person who turned me on to the shroomery back in 99/00 disappeared in one of those server & backup crashes , I never got to read any of his posts. His name was something like abronbibly as I recall. He gave me his equipment after he got busted by the feds, then 5 years later, the feds took the very same spore syringes when they busted me. Ahh nostalgia.

Well it does say "you retain the copyright to your posts, but agree that we can reproduce them in perpetuity and share them under the Creative Commons (Attribution Noncommercial Share Alike) license." You might be right about clarifying the wording and making it more prominent though. Although in my experience, you can hot pink flashing text and people will still skim right past it.

Of course not. Users should be more conscious of the nature of their posts as they are posting it. If not, then they should have to personally go through their posts and remove them one-by-one if they feel it necessary to do so. Perhaps next time they will not be so careless.

I am the only person who uses this nickname. google it. I guarantee its all me. and as for the pass, I have three passes that are long that I have remembered over time and I use for online stuff. Do you think someone just got lucky and hijacked this acct? I actually tried to sign up because the forum is NOTHING like it was 5 years ago. It looked very very informative so I said what the hey. I tried to sign up and it said user exists.. Im like WTF?? So I tried logging in and bam! Im back!
I had so many different things going on since then. But I missed it and now that things are settling back down im ready to get down and dirty (actually down and clean)!

Im trying to remember where I got my spores from. The old lady threw away my prints I had stored when she cleaned out the fridge years ago. This was after I stopped growing obviously. As a matter a fact she still has a picture of me squirting water from a 10cc syringe into a mixture. Damm I was skinny and good looking in the picture. What 5 years and 60 pounds will do to you!! Im in cali and alot of these company's dont want to deal with the headache. I haven't done much research any ways, at least not just yet. I prepared the wife for it, so now its about finding someone with some extra prints laying around or a spore company.
