Anonymous #18 said: The first time you go to compose a post in OTD, you see this message prominently displayed at the top of your screen:
Quote: It looks like this is your first post in Off-Topic Discussion. Please be aware that this forum is mostly unmoderated and people here can be ruthless. You should read some threads first so you know what to expect. If you post in OTD it is likely that you will get flamed and receive bad ratings, that's just the nature of the beast. If you would prefer a friendlier alternative, try The Pub instead.
So who's more pathetic? The people posting and having a good time in the forum that suits them? Or the people who ignore the warning, get flamed, and come cry about it anonymously? Seriously I'm amazed some of you are old enough to be using this site.

Comments like that sound awfully presumptuous. How do you know what the site was made for? OTD was one of the original forums, created right along with Mushroom Cultivation. Maybe you don't see the benefits of having an unrestricted forum, but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
Anonymous #21 said: Now there is a dual mission: info and money. Welcome to reality, friend. Bills have to be paid, some people have always made money off the Shroooomery. Money in the pocket isn't a bad thing. You aren't a supporter otherwise you'd know. OTDers are the largest contributors to the Shroomery.
Your theory is retarded. We make our money on banner ads; supporter accounts are a drop in the bucket. And after expenses we just save any profits, it's not like we have monthly distributions to shareholders. In fact the only thing you're correct about is that OTDers buy the most supporter accounts. And you can't say that reflects poorly on them.

Okay, if you hide a forum on the main forum index its threads won't show up on the active topics list anymore.
Anonymous #18 said: Whatever, I don't know why I'm even discussing this with you. You tell me why there isn't much building going on in the FAQ section, the admins aren't mycologists. If you want to help add content you don't need permission, one of the many improvements we've made since you were gone is a custom CMS written from the ground up which offers complete wiki functionality. See this post for an introduction. We'd certainly be grateful for any contributions since we rely on the community to help shape the site.
