> Its the fucking noobs that ruin it with their noob ass questions on weather and what mushrooms grow in my area and shit.

Noobs are ok, they are trainable.

They are not the enemy. The real enemy doesn't even post in the hunting forum at all.

Well they ignore the rules which creates a flood of noobs asking for id's with no info or using .doc and .zip and .pdf files, or asking where they can find mushrooms at...

Thats what people say would be the problem with the sub forum for general talk they say it would get flooded with crap.. But if you apply rules + 100-500 post minimum or so many months before you can post, most of the talk would be us regulars chatting it up about whatever.

I understand noobs can be trained but they are the reason people think the general talk would fail, my first ID request was proper, and theirs should have been too =-O

CubeCutter/everyone

the boys upstairs do not make new subforums every day really.. you can try of course..

i liked CubensisCutter's idea in PM to have a subforum called "Veteren Hunters" or something along those lines. but that, i am not sure either, just another idea, i really need to get some sleep at this point

another suggestion might be to have a "Mushroom Hunting Chat" room link.. other forums have them there, i do not see why we do not have one.. actually maybe we do (i do not go into chat often), but a seperate link on the main page underneath the hunting forum link might draw more people in there to discuss the subjects

#hunting?

I think that's a great idea. I just registered the channel on our IRC server. Now, if we could get some people in there besides me, that would be awesome!

A separate chat room is a great idea.

I don't think the perdorkers are going to figure it out and start posting in there first, but at least we can say that there IS a place for the discussion.

Yes, it has ssl. The port is +9999!

Maybe you could have them put a link to the chat room in the forum listing, sort of like the other chat room links?

Eventually I will be putting an infobot in there with the help of my sexy nerd man, and we can program the bot factoids with links to specific questions and answers. Much easier than explaining things all the time. :grin:

I personally don't see a problem if the topic is legitimate but involves some weather talk. Certainly I agree on the "OMFG IT JUST RAINED WILL I FIND MAGIC MUSHIES?1" being annoying, but those noobs will post something njust as annoying in another manner unrelated to weather anyway.

After all, weather is a critical and key factor for mushroom hunting, it doesn't make sense to say discussion isn't allowed at all.

plus being excited that rain is coming in your own thread shouldnt be deleted

ex: posting pictures then saying something like 'ooh shit its about to rain'

Ythan said if enough interest was showed he would make a sub forum for general talk though :crazy2::thumbup:

i just hope one rule is applied, NO NOOBZ ALLOWED

Maybe a rule barring all discussion of habitat should be imposed and strictly enforced. Sure, understanding the role habitat plays in the life cycle of fungi is a crucial factor in successful mushrooms hunting, but it can lead to off topic posts about cow poo.

The shroomery hunting forum doesn't exactly exemplify the standard within the realm of field mycology, nor should it. How difficult can it be to strike a balance between casual discussion related to mushroom hunting including such factors as weather, habitat and season, without permitting it all to crumble amidst a deluge of pointlessly redundant questions?

Sure, it's annoying to sift through posts about rain and boomerz but these threads do fade from the front pages pretty fast... especially if such posts are not discourteously rebuked by non-mods attempting to belittle the "noobs" - but then again... maybe we should put the weather posters into concentration camps!!!!

Personally I would lock such threads only if necessary, otherwise just let them go without needless overreaction... Patience is a virtue.

If newbies can't post and discuss weather, where are they supposed to find the information they're looking for? I may be missing something but I've looked all through the FAQs, recommend reading, links, etc.. and haven't found much info related to weather at all. I've done thread searches and found more newb bashing than anything else.

Yeah, newbie questions are annoying, but if they irritate people that much then just don't click/read/respond. I came to this community because it seems like a great bank of knowledge, but it's a little discouraging to hear such bad attitudes.

Perhaps a sticky or article on weather would help if the community doesn't feel like helping the new ones out.

I use http://accuweather.com

Also the weather underground is quite good.

That is because the weather is always changing, and its different in every area.  If I was to add weather forecasts to the FAQ I would have to update it nearly every day.

Most of the bad attitudes are in really old posts.  There isn't much that can be done about those.

Weather discussions are all the same, it gets old real quick.  They go pretty much like this:  Has it been raining in the past week?  Is the mushroom you are looking for in season?  If the answer to both questions is yes, go to the proper habitat and get the mushrooms.  If the answer to either question is no, you are extremely unlikely to find the mushrooms no matter how long you look. 

The answer to the first question can be found on several web sites.  The weather underground even gives you history data so you can see how much it has been raining in a certain area.

The answer to the second question can be found easily by using google, looking up the date of the type collection, or searching the hunting forum and noting the date of the other finds.

So what is it exactly that you want to ask but aren't allowed to because of the weather rule?

Sorry, I guess I was misunderstanding the discussion. I was just wondering specifics as far as what types of climates are necessary and growth periods etc.. I'll just use scroogle. :smile: thank you for replying.
