Thanks Billy, it isn't working and when a new member goes to that link which takes them to the Environment section, they don't see any others introducing themselves or even a sticky thread saying *Introduce Yourself Here* for example.
changed your mind now have you?

Thanks
I have to, respectfully, disagree with you there. It is this forum's stance on censorship that makes it stand out from every other generic 'Type 56' cannabis hobbyist forum. To my understanding, that is part of the very reason it came to be. There are plenty of other places to go where people can delude themselves to the existence of polite society... here it is, as in the real world and that gives it a certain credibility (in my books). If the Admin/Mods were to start censoring members, I believe that would be the very catalyst to the failure of this forum. I have seen it happen before
I think you mean "there were..."
Well said ya old cunt.I have to, respectfully, disagree with you there. It is this forum's stance on censorship that makes it stand out from every other generic 'Type 56' cannabis hobbyist forum.

For years, I was actively involved in, what was the "premier", fish breeding/keeping forum in Australia. It went through multiple reincarnations, and believe me it had it's troubles... it had it's smart arses, hot heads and what some may call psychos (there where in-person meet ups on more than one occasion to settle arguments). However, it was home to some of the most experienced and knowledgeable people on the subject I have ever had the pleasure to converse with. I made more connections and learnt more from that forum than I could have in decades of fish keeping/breeding. Until that is, the "PC police" moved in and applied pressure through the sponsors (who, I might point out were doing a roaring trade through members, so much that they could afford to expand their business).
These status hungry wankers had little to no input in the forum, they had fuck all knowledge to share, they contributed nothing to their fellow fish keepers, nor the community. Yet they felt entitled to demand that they not be offended. Long story short (could write a book about it) censorship ensued and all the members worth a pinch of shit eventually left taking their knowledge, wisdom and FREE advice with them. What was once a vibrant forum is now a ghost town, and the sponsor's business has since folded. Fish people (real hobbyists who dedicate their lives to it) are rough around the edges... similar it seems to Canna folk. I'm pretty sure, none of us are in this hobby because we like being told what we can and cannot do
Anyway... I'm not trying to have a go, nor saying that you are wrong. I just wanted to share my views and experiences on the subject. Sponsorship is great, but not the only way to support a community. There are many ways to raise the funds to keep a free online community afloat if it has happy and supportive members who feel free to express themselves.
Sorry, I hadn't intended on that turning into a rant (fuck I must be getting old )... I'll shut up now
Thats fair enough.
Stick around for a while. Sure there's a lot of slagging matches between some people but I've gotten some good advice from people and so has oz88, I'm sure others have too.
LOL, just because someone doesn't listen, doesn't mean the advice wasn't given
True, advice was given but he wanted to do things his way. How dare he!LOL, just because someone doesn't listen, doesn't mean the advice wasn't given
I was gonna start breeding fish.......but after reading that I'm gonna give you crazy cunts a wide birth!I have to, respectfully, disagree with you there.

Totally agree with you there Sugar! But unfortunately it's (in my experience) a part of life that is unavoidable. Some things in life just suck but that's what makes the rest of it good
If he wanted to do things his way why was he here asking for advice??
