This is a cool version of vB! I very rarely post at Marihemp partly because of the board structure, although I've lurked for a long time now. I've always preferred the UB/vB style. So I dig the new board.

When you have the time to spare you might want to poke around for some green button graphics to match your skin/template. And should you ever decide to take forum requests, I'd vote for a cannabis-influenced arts/entertainment forum. That subject matter will end up in the other forums eventually anyway, but it might be fun as a stand-alone section.

Nice work.

[hunny]

[GHoSToKeR]

I love these boards!!!

I'm not really into the whole chatting thing on the internet, and I don't usually post on any other message boards, well i'm not a member of any others, simply because I don't like the way they're set up

But this one's simple to use and has loadsa cool features.. I'd be lost without the User CP lol :)

Thanks again Ron, Hunny and everyone else

peace

good job Ron on the site keep it up! the king...

[The C]

Wow, Somebody wants MY feedback!! :)

[High phy]

been in quite some boards in my time and this is really some good board. Simple, easy, functional, nice looking, coherent.

Usually hate chats. But cuz i loved the boards i gived the chat a try here.
And yes, it desperatly need some mods!!!

[Bro DZ]

I agree with the masses here, we need more mods.

And I think that the mods need to close threads when we start getting way off topic cause people tend to flame eachother.

[Ed Ward MD]

Ron,

Thanks for a board fighting oppression of God's, Nature's and Evolution's Rights by men that claim to be superior to those Rights. It' is truely a shame that most come here for information to secretly fight for those rights instead of becoming active and merely voting the secrecy away. So many millions would vote for Rights if they only knew. Anyway..

Thanks for the board, time, consideration, your efforts and all the other contributing efforts in the quest for the life granted us by existance.

Ed ;)

People fight no matter what. With or without a Mon. For years I have come to message boards and for years I have watched people fight over the stupidest things. So voice chats or message boards they are all fighting over stupid shit. Moe

Ron Bennett, it's pretty sad to take away forum functions in hopes of people becoming Cafe Members so they can send PM:

http://boards.cannabis.com/showthread.php?t=11147

[Cannabis.com]

PM spam is a problem on many other large sites by "hit-and-run" users; folks sending out nonsense PMs wasting people's time.

Restricting PMs to Cafe Members only greatly reduces abuse (reduces server/db load too) and basically makes the PM system worthwhile for those with PM access - Cafe Members can be confident that the PM they receive will be worth the time reading, and the person sending it is likely a real person as opposed to a spam "bot", etc.

Thank you for your comments.

Ron

[Das]

Yes that is a very legitimate point, so then make PM available to members with X amount of posts that is a more legitimate reason to give them this access, then to just say you can only have it if you pay.

200 Posts is not someone hanging around on a forum to spam, if so they certainly don't have much of a life to wait till they get to number 200 before they can spam someone.

So lets keep this all within reason, rank on some forums has it's privileges, and 200 posts on this should be privilege enough to keep in contact with others through PM. :)

[Cannabis.com]

200 posts? ... well, I guess that counts me out ... I'm only at 152 posts, including this one, total; you too, since you appear to be at 78 posts as of this reply.

One's reputation / intent can't be determined from their post totals nor even how often they login to read the boards nor how long they have been registered - all of these are unreliable indicators.

I understand your point and perhaps a variety of technical measures (ie. number of posts, IP range, session heuristics, time on-line, etc) could be used to determine if one should be granted PM access or not ...

However, charging a membership fee is a much easier way, which doesn't require lots of programming / maintenance, to reduce abuse, while also helping to cover the high operating costs of running this website.

I realize we may never agree on this, but explaining why it is the way it is ... hope you understand.

Ron

p.s. you may want to add a AIM/Yahoo/MSN, etc contact into your profile - the icon(s) will show up on your posts - many folks here communicate privately through those services.

i dont that is the reason they are disabled ( the Pm's) at all

yes they seem like would be handy.
but i can see how the wrong types could turn it into a headacke

[GHoSToKeR]

Delta chill out bro.. I payed my $20(£10), and it wasnt so i could PM anyone.. just think of it like a donation.. i would have been happy to donate my £10 anyway.. but this way, i get something in return :)

[Das]

So is paying money, can't determine one's reputation either, someone that has alot of posts in the several hundreds is going to be a more reliable individual. Excuse me, I have been in this business 15 years I said before I know what I'm talking about.

TIme is money, and a spammer is not going to sit around on some forum trying to rack up several hundred posts just so they finally get a chance to spam people.

[maryjanemama]

Sheesh, Das, you're sure racking up the posts by complaining a lot. :rolleyes:

[Das]

Sheesh, Das, you're sure racking up the posts by complaining a lot. :rolleyes:

That's good very funny, I think I have 4 posts to this is all. One let me first say I'm not mad, unhappy, pissed off, etc.. I'm a PC geek I love the computer world, and the Internet, I run a Linux company for Slackware, if you are familar with the Linux operating system, and all I hate is people ripping off people, and this is a rip off.

You know, because nothing is being sold here, no products, services, etc., it is still here on Cannabis.com a open community forum, and this is why I stated before about Internet etiquette, because there is a clear lack of or respect to that, and each place that continues to do so, further diminishes this concept of the Internet community, and the way in which it works.

There is a way in which the Internet community works, behaves and operates, PC geeks the world over know it, and I do as well and if you have been around it for any length of time you know what I am talking about. But go ahead change the way it has been since it started, create your own rules, but in time you will see how far it gets you, and that won't be very far at all.

All I'm saying here is there is nothing wrong with trying to make a dollar, I do it too, but it is wrong to charge money in a Open forum community to charge for it, or parts of the use of it. It is however a much wiser and better long term approach to seek these type of support through donations via PayPal, and seek money in a more legitimate fashion.

And if you don't get anything I'm saying here, as in this makes no sense, then one day it will, these views also are not my own this is a fact in the way in which the Internet works the world over. :)

[Das]

Forgot to mention and I couldn't edit the post. I was told this was to curb SPAM, well then this is really not the way to go about it, you need to figure out a way in which to run your forum to curb this. I have run forums in the past, and there are certain ways to do things and you will not have this problem, but going around charging members to help a problem like this, that is not the answer in solving anything, that is just a cheap shortcut is all.

Sorry but that is not a very nice attitude to take with someone, and I am a expert in the field of computing and IT. I'm sorry your wrong, I happen to make my living in computing and the Internet and run one of the most respected Internet companies in the world.

Yes just that little guy hanging in the forum you never know who or what they are, and you do not know me.

But anyhow, when I see people curse and behave in your manner, as a child I no longer care to be a part of that conversation. I for one am not a child, if you have your attitude take it somewhere else, you want to talk like a man, or woman and learn something then you can, otherwise please refrain from your attitude. I happen to be a grown business man that knows exactly what I am talking about.

I didn't realize until just now that you operate dutch-seeds.com - you inquired via email about getting free advertising/link exchange the other week.

Surely "one of the most respected Internet companies in the world" can afford to pay for advertising; I see numerous posts here in which you tout dutch-seeds.com ... umm, makes me wonder if you would do the same via PM ... ?

To be clear, I'm not saying you would do that, but the temptation would surely be there; reaffirms the paid membership only access policy for PM is definitely warranted.

With all that said, you have every right to disagree with the policy, as you have - in any event, your feedback has been appreciated ... while we likely will not change the membership policy for PM access, we have made numerous changes over the years based upon visitor feedback.

Thank you again for visiting CANNABIS.COM / Marihemp Network

Ron Bennett I do not own or operate Dutch-Seeds, I only know of them and give them a helping hand from time to time. My internet business I was referring to has nothing to do with Dutch-Seeds, whom I am not aware of their financial situation.

There are not numerous posts for Dutch-seeds there are a few. Again I just give them a hand and recommend them is all.

Seems to be more than that; more than "several" even ... the term "numerous" I used appears to be right on, but whatever - a "few" ok, so be it ... anyways, I see you posted on the Marihemp Network boards very recently too - in one of those posts you indicate you "work" for dutch-seeds.com, and furthermore, encourage folks to click a referral link ... could be just be for tracking only, but it could be for a bit more - a paid affiliate link ... are you being paid to send traffic there; do you own dutch-seeds.com?

This could all be a misunderstanding on my part; cultural/language difference ... with that said, I wasn't born yesterday :rolleyes:

Ron

p.s. regardless of whether you work, help, or just visit there, check out our Advertising Information page again at http://www.marihemp.com/advertising/ ... given the amount of time you're spending "helping" them, you may do better to encourage them to run an ad(s) on our network - would be much easier, and likely more productive :)
