worse
I havent been a member for that long, but i am a member at two other forums....and those are way better, the people here are not growers, just kids asking stupid questions. (must say that the few growers in here know their shit)
so why am i still here you ask?.......purely for amusement
I think the site is better......MUCH better. The amount of misinformation running through is much MUCH less. It's SOOO nice not to read ridiculous threads about peeing on your plants or how you added espresso and they grew great etc etc...getting your gerbil high, how you managed to be so cool as to run from the cops in the woods and your parents didn't find out....and on and on.
While I did enjoy the younger crowd as a rule.....there is one thing about them that was very frustrating to me. They believe just about anything anyone tells them. That made it EXTREMELY hard to pass on good info....they really did not know the difference between good info and bad info and spread both with equal abandon. imo, that kept the site in a vaccum and it could not change or improve.
I LOVE the new cdot. :yippee:
^^^weedhound^^^
just as i was mentioning growers who know their shit!!
you must've heard me...lol:D
Lol how dare you compare this great site with the Bush regime. Clinton administration i'm kool with, there's loads of weed smoking fornicators out there.
Yeah but you still havent said weather you think its worse or better billion :).
personally i'm keeping my lips sealed on this.
this is his site, and ultimately everything is his decision... all i can say is, if you don't like it you might as well leave. i imagine trying to get sundance to change his mind on something would be like convincing god to go buddhist... lol...
i guess i'm one of the few who see where he wants to take the site, and like it or not, he will. i don't always agree with the changes, but i accept them and move on. i don't really understand why everyone else has such a problem with that.
just remember, it's outta your hands, when something changes all you can really do about it is accept it and move on, or don't accept it and leave (either by free will or eventual ban if you keep bringing the subject up)
and no i don't think your opinion should be silenced, but most here don't want to state their opinion on changes, they want to argue/debate the changes.... stating your opinion would be saying it just once, just so it's known and moving past it... what nearly everyone does here when a change happens they don't like is continually complain about it and beat the dead horse, until mods/sundance is just tired of hearing it and then they get banned. (or they flip out, cuss out mods and such, and just general hell raise and get a ban)
Lol....this site isn't the greatest. But it's my home. It's gotten better with the 18+ rule, but sometimes its still not so great. It's more about weed culture, than cannabis itself.Quote:

Have a good one!:jointsmile:
OK, my thoughts on this are as follows. First, it's a heck of a lot easier for people to complain than to actually make constructive contributions. Weedmaster, if you're unhappy with the level of "love running through" here, then you have a couple of choices. You can complain about it and post that publicly. Or you yourself can demonstrate some love and support and turn the trend. You chose the former. We have heard a number of complaints recently, and that's not surprising as people are rarely as comfortable with change are they are the status quo. The boards are in a period of growth right now, which always upsets the folks who're not feeling up to the challenge of growing along with those changes. For those of you who're really not up to that challenge--or those of you who're under the impression that a privately owned Web forum is a democracy--well, you know where the door is. Sorry to be blunt, but no one's forcing you to stay here.
I also want to set the record straight on two other matters. First, Invoke, Image Reaper wasn't hostile to Granny Storm Crow. He was simply candid with his thoughts. There's a big difference. He'd have been hostile if he'd called names or crossed over the lines of verbal aggression. Both Image Reaper and Storm Crow are valued, respect members here, and I admire the way they both voiced their opinions strongly and with civility. I appreciate that, both as an adult and as a mod.
On the matter of improving the maturity of the boards, I have to say that while I miss some of our younger members very much, including many who had maturity surpassing their chronological years, I do think that eliminating the "How do I hide my grow from my parents?" and "What do your farts smell like?" type threads has upped the ante around here. If we're ever going to make any progress on advancing cannabis as a substance that can be taken seriously, both medically and recreationally, we first have to make it the domain of responsible adults. NORML has known this fact for a long time and makes that policy clear at every turn. We can help improve the esteem in which cannabis users and advocates are held by supporting responsible, moderate cannabis use by adults, which I know The Image Reaper and Storm Crow both basically agree with. Do I think it's unfortunate that some of the underage members will end up lying to get back in? Sure. But that's their choice, not something we're forcing them to do. The truth is that these youngsters have already had to be dishonest in some form or fashion to be able to obtain or use cannabis in the first place.
