    Permabanned? for this?

    I posted in off topic over at shroomery how even though the information on that site was priceless, the people were elitist assholes and the vibe was just not right, and how they had noobies giving all the advice, and none of the advice was worth taking, and leading people into failed grows, and the worthless trolling in mushroom cultivation was driving that community into a toilet abyss and people don't want to be a part of that, and that i'd rather be a part of 'topia where everyone's cool and share my grows here, and not there, and there is no trolling here at topia, where as at that site, u can post a good post, full of knowledge, and get trolled for a month over it..


    So i got permabanned???

    that's pretty elitist, and just reinforces my claims on how bad that site sucks!!!

    sorry had to rant!

    Yes it is much better here, assholes get what they deserve (the boot). I agree with your assessment of their site.

    I have only been over there a handfull of times. I have read many posts in the limited visits. I was really taken aback by how rude and unkind people seemed to be towards each other. There seemed to be quite a bit of drama as well.

    So, in other words, you did the same thing at Shroomery that gravit8 did here (in the thread you were a part of), except in addition to talking shit (calling them elitist assholes) and dissing their site, you also told them how this site was so much better? I'm not surprised you got banned at all. No offense, but it sounds like you had it coming to you.

    What do you think would have happened here if you had written the same post, substituting Mycotopia wherever you had typed Shroomery?

    Thumbs up

    you guys dont understand. i know lime and he's good people. they got it out for him badly over there. glad you came here bro you got a lot to share with us and hope you stay. please keep posting ur material, and some your teks. your good peoples in my book.


    the trolling over there is horrible as ive said b4 they bait him with multiple people. he'll ask nicely once then puts em in there place the second time. i for one agree with him and his actions. it's not just one person and mods over there do not take control of nothin.

    shroomery does have good info, does have some great people, but at the same time the place is ran outta control. thanks H3


    look every thread i had over there got ran over. not one mod took control. lime always was asking people to back off as he gave me tips. then the trolling started, because we was cool over there. as far as im concerned kick the shroomerite bullshit off your shoes when you walk in to the door here at topia. topia is a place of friends and some i would consider family here.

    you know as long as you mind your p's and q's you can call this place home no matter who you are.

    I don't get why anyone that knows about Mycotopia would care about the Shroomery? I mean, once you take the training wheels off, riding a bike is a lot of fun. No sense in putting them back on. Training wheels being Shroomery assholes, in this case.

    Mycotopia is certainly the cream of the crop. The bunch here knows what's up, and they're doing it on the level. Great cultivation advice, as well as life advice, all around.

    limeade, it makes me laugh that you called them elitist assholes. You're awesome.

    i steer clear of mushroom cultivation over there. just hang out in the photo gallery forum. most of the ppl there are nice. although, just about every thread i read there gets ruined by someone flaming someone else.

    what did they ban you for? what you just said? im sure many boards would ban you if you posted that. lol.

    i just think that there is just way too much to keep up with there. and there aren't enough mods. they need like 30 mods per forum. i see flat out name calling and some horrible things that no one even deletes. im amazed at some of the complete lack or respect across that forum myself. but when people start trying to argue with me there, i ignore them lol..simple solution. its big enough to avoid the idiots. but with big boards you get many numbers. you don't get the extra attention there that you would here. smaller pond means better answers imho. and we fry those fish real quick that start name calling. out of respect for the rest of the members on the forum.

    Its all in the leadership here. Hip demands a site where you can learn and teach in a fun and respectful environment. We do have our share of assholes that come and go. False or wrong information will not last very long here. Everyone here is encouraged to experiment and post their findings, where at other sites the ones who know the mods or the mods themselves shove their opinions and beliefs down everyones throats, right or wrong.

    Shroomery =

    Some good information over there, but IMO it is too hard to find amongst all the rif-raff.
    I dont even visit their site anymore, the mycotopia vaults do me well.

    But wait, there's more! Here, if you truly can't find what you're looking for, there are more than enough helpful peeps in the pack to help lead you in the right direction and without a condescending attitude.

    Hmmm...maybe I'll join that other site just so I can get banned too. But I'll make sure to add to my final post "chill out f*cker and take a pill, or better yet, chug a thorazine spritzer with "a twist of LIME"

    Don't take this the wrong way ... cause I mean no offense.

    This is not a playground. Nor is it a competition.

    We have well earned honor here. We rise above bashing. Thats what makes us different. Its a sign of maturity.

    I simply posted in regards to another persons complaint about how difficult it was to get solid help there for growing mushrooms, i didn't START a thread dissing their site.

    Mycotopia would never have that vibe, that i would sit here and diss it.

    i found mycotopia through a link on the shroomery somehow. They do have some good info, and i learned a lot from them but ive learned more here, in a shorter amount of time, with no bullshit. there is definitely a higher IQ level here overall

    yeah that place has a WEALTH of info, but sifting through the utter disrespect is tiresome, and it's never deleted, here it's pretty much BS free. I didn't mean to start a "this place is better then that place" thread, i really just intended to say it was a ridiculous reason to get banned.

    I'm glad you've become a part of our Community Limeade, and that you like it here at Topia. It's sad, that it can't be accepted that some folks like both sites.


    I don't visit there, simply because it bothers me the level of disrespect the members express to fellow members a majority of the time.

    yeah the disrespect by the new people to senior members and WAY more experienced growers is ridiculous there, here, no matter what level you're on, you get respect.

    I'm glad i didn't get my wife into shroomery. The shit they post/say is gross at best.
