What happened to this site. It used to be so cool before i went to jail for growing. Wheres all the good threads!!!!!
back in the late summer of 07 they did a big sweep up of people who they suspected of being under 18 and banned a lot of people, and since then a lot of the cooler members have also gotten banned. like LIP. and i don't see Billionfold around either. or Cannabis Campbell. or a few other people from back in the day
the site pretty much took a drastic change from a site which promoted chat about recreational/medical use to one that strictly is medical use only. and as such, most interesting conversation has died out.
also, the lounge is no longer up top at the list, so i doubt many people scroll down here and find it. the pictures forum is gone (as far as i can tell). and multiple other things that i would love to sit and complain about but nothing helped when i stated my opinion back when the changes were happening, so i doubt anything will be done now.
This site is doing just fine, if you want you can add new and "cool" threads.
Ya dude I never said much but I would always spend hours reading posts. Now that i look at this place much has changed. Time is fucking crazy...
good answer :DQuote:

We didn't didn't do a "big sweep." You make it sound like a multi law enforcement agency task force conducted some operation to arrest a bunch of people. This is a free website and shortly after Sundance bought the site he decided to go 18 and up because he didn't like the amount of immature threads on the board for several reasons. The mods don't make the rules we just enforce them.Quote:

So don't sit there and talk shit like a big sweep.
Here we go again with the "they got banned" bullshit. They didn't get banned, they broke the rules. Don't make it sound like it was something passive, they broke the rules and they would still be here if they didn't.Quote:

Did you know that when that poster first joined he posted pics of a rather nice grow room/operation that wasn't even his. In his attempts to look much cooler than he was, he found some pics on the web and tried to pass them off as his. I don't know if it was a mod or member but someone figured it out quick. All the chest beating he did saying he was the biggest smoker and how he grew or got the best weed and how American weed is shitty and overpriced, he first tried to sell his bullshit stories and life with fake pics.
Another thing that poser did to over compensate for his pathetic life was to constantly threaten members on here. Com one most of the members here are from the U.S. and you're in England. Of course he will never probably get a chance to meet anyone on the baseball field after school to settle it so why constantly threaten people that don't agree with your low brow ideas? Because he probably used this site to form some alter identity of someone who was cool that didn't get their ass kicked in order to protect his fragile ego. I wouldn't be surprised if lip didn't receive weekly ass whipping for the first 25 years of his life.
These threats of violence are what led to his banishment from this site. He threatened every male moderator on this site with emails like "I'm going to fly to America and stick a knife in you but I don't want to set foot on American soil." Please you jabroni monkey ass, you probably can't afford to fly to America and if you're so tough and cool, why are you going to have to use a knife? Dumbass, I love to fight and I never lose so just bring it, don't just say it. He had a shitload of infractions for threatening people and after breaking the rules AGAIN he was issued a warning. He had a long long list of infracions. He then made a post saying he was never coming back and go ahead and ban him so we did. Guess how many times he's tried to come back into the website since saying he was never coming back? A shit ton.
That poster then went to another forum and bitched about how he was treated unfairly here. He lasted about 100 posts before they banned him forever too. What does that tell you about him?
So I'm glad you think that someone who posts fake pics and talks a bunch of bullshit yet can't back up their words is cool. Yea for you.
When Billionfold turned 18 he came back and kept getting into fight with Psycho4Bud and as volunteers we're not going to put up with that shit. He threatened to do things to try to get Psycho arrested too. I guess you want someone you can't trust that wants to go running to the cops on this website don't you?
Cannabis Campbell is in good standing. He used to post all the time but about a year ago he said he would be going without internet for a little while and he wouldn't be on as much. It has gone on a lot longer than just a little while but CC is still kickin it.
I guess you think Slipknot was a cool guy too. He was banned for taking a bunch of pills and wrecking his wife's car before even leaving the neighborhood and beating her and then coming on here to post and brag about how he beat her. That is just scratching the surface on that idiot too and what he posted as he did a lot of stupid shit, things that you would expect an unemployed lazy bum who lived in his grandmother's basement to do.
People weren't happy with some of the changes that happened almost 2 years ago (time to get over it) but they weren't banned for posting about it. We gave people a lot of leeway on that. However, if people can't follow the rules, that's on them. For better or worse Sundance doesn't really want any suggestions on how to run his website and why are you still bitching after almost 2 years cooljelly? Time to live in the present. If you don't like it don't let the door hit you in the ass.
ya got it right, FBR ... there's some 'alumni' that will always be missed, they made contributions :thumbsup: ... and then, there's some that thrived on hassles, and aren't missed, at all ... :jointsmile:
Maybe one of the mods can answer this for me? What happen to the guy that had a peter griffin avatar that posted something about killing some little kid on a football field by tackling him? I never found out if that was true or not but, it caused a big fuss.
Everybody loved dirty laundry...best, let sleeping dogs lie...IMO
This may not be the time for this, but FakeBoobs,are you really the Rock? haha, I'm sorry, when I read that I had a good laugh and I had to share my thoughts:jointsmile:Quote:

i didn't sit around and complain, i just listed a few of the changes that occurred, because the title asks the question..... "What happened?".....
anyways, i hope there are no hard feeling between you and I because after your response i feel as though you may hate me.
This is really the only question you need to respond to and you'll find out why. We tried many times to adjust people's ban dates to reflect their 18th birthday but this wasn't always possible. If you want to have your old handle back, let me know.Quote:

Normally we don't respond to posts about member's infractions and how long a ban might be because it usually gets other members into pointless arguments with the mods or other members and it drags them , the member questioning another member's infraction, down too. However, in the case of the ones mentioned and about 2 others, I don't mind and I think some of the member's appreciate knowing what happened to them. I have talked about some of these members before in a couple of threads and when the basement dweller got on his friend's computer and started to post under a new name about how he was treated unfairly I addressed his actions and infractions and why he was banned. From comments by other members they were glad to be informed on why they aren't allowed on the board but didn't want to rehash the past. Many have also indicated they don't miss these members especially once they found out what happened. What we aren't going to do is go back and forth and make this a fucking mess for you and get you or anyone else caught in it.
I'm not angry as much as annoyed because this is such a waste of time. I wouldn't even bother but I see someone who is somewhat naive, like I used to be many years ago and maybe you can learn something from this. For starters, you can learn a little about the human ego and needy people and never trust an addict in the case of the basement dweller. I'm not calling marijuana users addicts either. He's a phrase that will serve you well later in life. How can you tell an addict is lying? Their lips are moving.
How can you say you didn't blame the mods directly. Who else were you talking about when you said they did a big sweep and banned a lot of people. Who else could they be? Yeah you might not have wrote the word mods but who else could you have been talking about. Don't answer and don't say the admins because I'm not stupid. Then you said you would love to sit here and complain? How many times have we said we don't want to here complaints, bitching, moaning, whining, etc. Constructive criticism and suggestions are useful but not sitting around complaining. For one, the mods don't set policy. Here, look at what you said:Quote:

There are plenty of constructive threads in the feedback section if you need to see examples of constructive. Look at the one suggesting a DIY section. That's constructive. Server Busy thread is constructive too.Quote:

Again, I'm not stupid and it's like you're trying to stick a little stab in there, 1 & 1/2 years after the changes. If you do think we do a good job and the infractions are fair and justified, then why bring up the banned members anyway?
Again, we gave these guys more than enough chances to follow the rules and they decided to be selfish and feel that everyone else should play by the rules but themselves. Is that fair to those who do follow the rules?
If you really do miss their posts, I can see where you are coming from as some of those banned members were good at attracted the younger members and dazzling them with their bullshit. Seriously, one of them only talked about zombies and posted wikipedia links because he had no original thoughts as well as holding daily pity parties for himself, the other one constantly took shots at Americans and American weed and making marijuana users look like violent assholes. I guess that's enjoyable for about 5 minutes. :rolleyes:: You'll learn better judgement and if you do miss them, no one wants to hear it and you sitting around complaining about it or how you would love to complain.
No I don't hate you nor do I hold it against you if you stop now because I hope you learned something. I hope you learned the mess you started with either your stab at how we banned people or your poorly chosen words. I hope you learned that members don't always have all the information about what goes on around here like the mods do. I hope you have learned about addition through subtraction. I hope you see that this community isn't static but dynamic and as some people go, some people come and things work out. I hope you see many of the things that I haven't pointed out.
ABrandNewL smells what The Rock is cookin!
what happened to rebgirl...and halfassedjediknight...and of course the skinkster...to name a few...seems like a lot of people have left since i've been away.
Skink hasn't been on in forever. Stilll in good stand though. StinkyAttic is working in an area with no internet, LOL. No, she's just that busy with work.
Rebgirl has been busy with school the last time I talked to her. She was in our Fantasy Football league and I haven't talked to her since near the end of that. She must be really busy though because she usually finds her way to a computer. One minute she was studying to be a teacher the next a dental assistant or vice versa.
Halfassed is still here too. That's so funny that you remembered his handle and he didn't. Long story, never mind.
Ok, please let's not turn this into a where's waldo thread.
we could turn it into a 'how about them STEELERS' thread....

Besides if we want to get marijuana legalized medicinally and even recreational its important that we represent ourselves in a positive light to the public. We dont want to show them the stereotypes that the government has shoved down everyones throat and thats what some of the old posts did. Threads like OMG I got so high last night and (fill in the blank) wont get us very far.
i used to post here alot... it's too bad a lot of things with those people went bad... i really liked talking with them
i see that it has changed alot, which for me is sad but i guess that is just nostalgia
Ok, son. You can come out of your room now........
Cannadotcom has become the "mature medical cannabis site", even I have curtailed my dry humor as it seem to offend some, but on a much more serious point..........
I pick the Steelers to go to the Superbowl, but they lose to the Bears!!!!!!!
Happy Easter to those celebrating.
:thumbsup:
from the look of the threads it seems they kept everyone under 18
That makes no sense at all. What are you trying to say?Quote:

Holy shit man, I always thought he was a bit strange, but I had some decent conversations with that dude through IM a few years back. I wouldn't have thought he would beat his wife and try and get other members arrested. I always thought the dude had a chance, I suppose he simply never actually wanted to change his ways.Quote:

I'm really getting sick of having to spend time on this. I should have closed or deleted it instead I try to give an explanation that has been given before and now I'm up to my knees in bullshit and it's rising fast. The only real reason why it's still open is to hear from the op, cooljelly to see if they want their old handle, and now acouwaila to see what the hell they are up to.
Tread lightly on this thread.
Well I would rather Acouwaila answer the question. If he is calling this thread or anyone in this thread immature then he's very much mistaken because this has been anything but an immatue conversation. I'm sure image reaper and dutch pimp and higher4hockey and dro princess and stemmis wouldn't agree with being labeled as immature or their responses in this thread. These members have been here long enough to know about these older members.Quote:

Jagged, you've got 2 members mixed up. Billionfold threatened to go to the cops and the basement dweller was the one who beat his wife. Did you ever see the suicide thread he left on here? If you don't know what I'm talking about then don't bother asking. I really feel sorry for her as she put up with so much of his shit only to have him beat her and brag about it and how he never loved her and was using her and to post that and make their divorce a public affair like he was some celebrity using their myspace page to trash their soon to be ex spouse. He used this more like his personal blog than as a forum.
Yeah, I remember the note... Than again it should have been clear. I don't particularly remember billionfold. I do remember Slip was always on here and seemed to get off on attention and controversy... I feel bad for his ex too. Thats all so messed up.Quote:

We also had the same members continuously giving the same lectures just to different kids. "Don't grow in your parents house!" and "don't smoke at home!"
I'm extremely happy not having to see all that junk anymore.
I dno..just seems like there used to be more interesting things to talk about..guess its just the lounge...or im just an asshole...which is most likely the case
You mean a RAIDERS thread:thumbsup:Quote:

Ha I remember when I was banned for being under 18. The funny thing was is that I was 25 at the time :wtf: I just turned 26 on April 11th. Weird... Anyways, between all the back and forth drama right before the presidential election and being banned for being 7 years older than the sites requirement I havent posted very much in the last few months. Only on occasionally to look something up. I do miss the excitement of posting everyday but it faded fast. Take care! CM :jointsmile:
Fakeboobsrule, Much thanks for what you and the rest of the mods do here. Good folks do like to know a little about what goes on in their community.
You are a straight up, straight out and straight forward MoFo and I dig it! I'm sure i'm not alone in this. I love the smell of "bitch smack" cooking though, so i'm kinda biased. lol:D Many people respect a stern approach to bullshit, but there is always one "Jabroni monkey ass" lol out there that doesn't care much for those members that defend or protect this site from those that wish to cause harm, shit on or deter new membership, as I have personally found. The fact remains, this is a community of predominantly good responsible folks that love and rely on this site, and have no problem with policy and moderating. Keep on cook in'!
On a lighter side note......real boobs are better. LOL Dutch Pimps avi explains why. lol
A woman asks her husband "Are my boobs getting bigger"?...no honey, they are just longer.
Thanks cannakeeper :thumbsup:. I really rather not have to layeth the smackdown. A good pair of fake boobs should resemble near perfect real ones. Besides the qualitites of near perfect real boobs they should defy gravity slightly and a little more side boob please. I'm pushing the limits of acceptable content.
You aren't telling the whole story whether because you forgot, don't know, or some possible diabolical reason. If you don't know, I'm almost certain I sent you an email explaining what happened. Here it goes again because your post is making us sound kind over....Quote:

However, another mod saw the post and thought you were serious. Before reversing the infraction, I contacted the mod (we don't step on each other toes) and told them what I knew about your age and a few days later you were back on the board.
Mistakes are made and we apologized and if you want to use that as a reason not to come here well that's your choice but I thought we were past that.
jabroni monkey ass....
haahaahahahahhahahahah
Someone said something along the lines of "only kids listen to icp" or something similar referring to juggalos as immature. Ive met alot of juggalos and yes most of them are immature. But what I said was once you turn 18 you have to start listening to music like black eyed peas, alicia keyes, and someone else I cant remember. It was a joke, not a very good one at that. The reference to the other artists was actually a jab at someone in that thread that repeatedly made fun of juggalos for no reason. But like you said its old now so theres really no point in an argument or heated discussion. I hope theres no hard feelings, none here. Have a good one! :stoned: PS yea I remember that relationship thread that I started then got deleted because "its not a social forum" Its not a social forum? Then I see threads about having sex on your period (yucky!) oh well like I said its water under the bridge. Peace CM :jointsmile:
It's raining chongman, and I don't see you dancing.
It's just the internet guys.. Relax. Let it die.
relax? let it die? i think not. the steelers are so going to repeat.:jointsmile:
(Obligatory GO RAVENS!)
I actually enjoy the Orioles better... Just because the atmosphere is more picnic-like, the beer is a bit less expensive, you know they'll lose 72% of the time (it's better that way when they DO win!) and BOOG'S PIT BEEF RULES. Yeah.
I used to have some issues with the site, but I finally grew up and accepted it. As an Aspie, I HATE HATE HATE change, but change is inevitable, and I've learned to go with the flow...
At least the medical, recipe, and lounge boards are still here :)
