Shroom Talk Magazine
#7927328 - 01/24/08 10:46 PM (16 years, 8 days ago) |

Just came across the shroomtalk website where they are selling their magazine. Now when i go to wal-mart and pick up a MAD, car, or game magazine it never cost me more then $3. Why on earth is theirs $35. Has anyone read these before. I will not over dramatize the steep prices until i hear feedback. Is the material in these magazines worth the 35 or could you just get the same information from this website.

yeah I'm not buying it regardless i love shroomery to much. Just wondering what they are thinking. Who in their right mind would pay for that. Now if the magazine is like 400-500 pages then yeah understandable

yup, the shroomery is affiliated with them yes, but in the way that pimps are affiliated with their hoes. worst vendor we have in my opinion, and i'm sticking with it.
(i've had personal bad experiences and many others if you read the threads. be sure to ignore the ones praising them highly, because they ask their customers to do it.)

They are no longer a sponsor..... 
After I got this form them, I glad there gone..
Hey Braniac you really need to get a life and worry about your own personal issues because if this is what really rocks your boat then you truly spend to much time on the computer.
You might actually have a point regarding the pictures and text, but we just got them from image searches and the text is a reliable, accurate description of the mushrooms so thats why we used it.
You whining on the Shroomery about it clearly is just making you look like a fool. Admins are even offering us there images to use because everyone knows your trying to make a big stink over a tiny, unimportant issue.
It would take me maybe 10 minutes to modify the text so its not identical and another 30 seconds to switch out the images.
BUT since your being such a tattle tale about the whole situation I would rather wait and see if Fungi even cares.
I am eagerly awaiting to hear your response regarding this issue, of course anything coming from you will be completely ignored, but if we happen to get an email from Fungi perfecti and there legal team I will be happy to comply with anything they require changed.
Until we actually hear from someone important or who is actually involved in this situation nothing will be done.
And just to let you know your really exaggerating the entire situation, if we are in copyright infringement there would be no lawsuit, we would just change the text a few words and switch out the images. Then Fungi and his lawyers will disappear and you will be back to your tired old self.
I am truly sorry for you.
And I eagerly await some kind of response. Its really a shame they closed the thread because I wanted to get my 2 scents in publicly on this issue.

Phew. Looks like I had a close call. I almost bought a syringe or two from 101. Then, I stumbled onto this site and found it highly more adequate than that site. 'Course... any site that does the "put search text all over the top and bottom of the page so we get google hits," shit is fucking not worth my time anyway... that was my first tipoff to them. Now... good sponsors that don't scare me. Yay!

It was a message he received from Spores101. It sounds like he mentioned to another site that they were stealing (copyright infringing) text and images from them and this is their immature response.
Learn to read from context, dude.
