so how do the other mods become mods

[Samwhore]

I have no clue, I guess you must be worthy of the unofficial standards

Ron was the Webmaster untill last year, then he sold up to sundance.
There arn't many people stil here from when it first started, there were some good people.
Oh well times change

I think it stemed off Marihemp.com
Like Baked.com did from here

mods are chosen by other mods, and sundance gives the final approval....when we think we need new mods, we will look at posts and such, and have discussions in the mod forum and work it out....

i am not entirely sure when the site was started, but it was many years ago, i believe over 10, as i know people who were original mods on the site back then..i myself have only been here 3 years or so though..anyway, ron owned this one, as well as others, then sold it to sundance, who are now the owners, administration, and the only ones with any authroity really....

I don't know much of the history of this site. But if you go to archive.org and key in Cannabis.com on their way back machine, the first listing is for Jan 16, 1998.

It has changed quite a lot from them/

Archive.org is a cool site and a reminder that what you put on the Internet, stays on the Internet.

So have things gone a bit downhill seeing as lots of the original members have left?

It was made early 2004.

I believe it was actually 1997 big boy.

Yeah Ron Bennet made the site back in 1997 and used the advertising revenues to build the site into what it is today....er...what it was right before he sold it for like a million dollars.

Ronny was a cool guy, I haven't gotten to know this Sundance. fellow yet so I won't comment on him/her.


I personally like the forum when there wasn't a 'no-flaming' rule and a strict adherence to the 'weed' only policy.

We could cuss and fight and only the strongest forum warrior would survive, kinda like the pre-modern era of mankind. But now the forum has entered the 21st century with all its stupid rules and guidelines where we have to be nice to everyone or risk exclusion altogether.




I could publish a book on the history of this site lol.

There were some legendary users, they were awesome.

Some that I remember are: Ghostoker420, ReSiNaTe, Ammie, Torog (now psycho4bud i think) and some others but its been too long and memory is not the strong suit of the stoner.
