Bio We never created an "about the admins" page because it seems kind of self-indulgent, but I do keep getting a lot of the same questions over and over. I figured I might be able to cut down on this by answering some of the more common ones in my bio. So here you go!

I started the Shroomery in August of 1997. I was 15 at the time and yes, that arguably makes me a hypocrite for enforcing our 18+ age requirement.

My main contribution to the Shroomery is programming, including the content management script which powers the main site and most of the BB's enhanced functionality. I also have a hand in many other aspects of the site, including server administration, graphics design, page optimization (for size and search engines), promotion, monetization, member support, and guiding our continued evolution.

As far as I know, nobody ever got busted due to a post on the Shroomery. We got a subpoena once in a child custody case, but the guy knew about it and expected it. We also got a subpoena for evidence in the Silk Road trial, but it was for a post that was already public, and it wasn't the evidence that led to the bust. Those are the only incidents I'm aware of. Always use caution and common sense on this site, but hopefully that helps put the risks in perspective.

After years of running the Shroomery as a volunteer operation, the admins now receive a modest hourly wage. For some reason this seems to bother certain people, and I invite them to lead by example and forgo their own paychecks while taking on increasing workloads and responsibilities.

I don't really trip regularly anymore, these days I'm mostly just a pothead.

There are pictures of me online, here is one of them. Just don't get the wrong idea, I'm not a goddamn hippie!

I think that's about it. I hope you enjoy the site. :smile:
