yes.
I was looking into registering the name and saw someone beat me.

Around since the beginning.

Are you guys randoms or connected to shabang or rc? _

Are there any old school people associated, I know a bunch jumped to IC, kind of odd posting here…

Welcome all to OG! It is great to see new (old) nicknames!

Hi, I’ve been on OG since 2000, but I’m not part of the pre-2006 era “core” group. Not associated with ~s~ or ~rc~. You can read more in these topics:

Ask Me Anything with Overgrow Admin (members only Shark’s Tank)

Consider this topic meeting point of old members. Overgrow has been 10 years offline. It takes some time to spread the word. :vulcan:

I am new to this forum format, I will likely screw up a bunch.

maybe send pms that were meant as a response on the forum, my bad if that happens.

No problem, take your time. There is nothing wrong screwing things :slight_smile: We all are learning this (me from the developer’s perspective). Actually it allows great number of features that old static platforms haven’t been able to. Pretty clean design focused on discussion, very well usable on mobile phones and tablets. Still I have to come up with better gallery views.

Small world… (What do they say "Great Minds think alike? I’m pretty sure it’s NOT fools seldom differ)… but…i just found 2 sealed packs from Cbay and it made me look around. (the internet NOT my seed stash! Probably should have done that YERS ago!)

When I say sealed packs I’m not looking to start that old argument about sealed Breeder packs versus those who didn’t want them. I’m talking about the square piece of cardboard with a METAL washer in the middle then some seeds and rice! If I can find how to post a picture I’ll do it.
By the way, it was Conquistador and Fiesta Mix from SubCool!
I joined late 99 early 2000. I “think” I came from Marc Emery seeds but sadly, memory fails… I was blown away to read how late it was when it closed… I though it was way before that!
Was Truth Squad back then became Niemand around 2003??? Memory again…
Glad to see overgrow back… haven’t been on the cannabis boards for a few years now but still have my membership on ICMAG and shantibaba’s site (I think it’s Mr. Nice?) I think it’s fitting to reignite my passion at Overgrow!
Peace. Jah Bless N

Oh yeah, that was another one that slipped my mind. Planet Ganja. Can’t say that I really liked it there but it was interesting. I think they had a “shark tank” and thats where I spent most of my time but as I try to remember it was mostly about hoping Overgrow was going to return. When POM and company started to self destruct and it looked like Overgrow was a dream that was going to stay in dream status (for a few more years at least :wink:) I drifted away…

On the original OG I was known as Jukebox Hero. My avatar was the Foreigner Belt from Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The thing I remember most was heavens stairway having everything and diy shit like newgangaboy cab was the norm there. Best site ever. Question, does the new OG log ip? Sorry if already asked.

Welcome guys! Niemand, looking at your picture motivates me to look around if I can dig something from my archives :slight_smile: I’ve granted my old batch of NL#1 and Agfhani crosses that were originally from Emery to my friend, hope to get some photos of it in bloom :slight_smile: (don’t know if these oldschool strains will hold up against modern crosses :))…

I’m back, I really liked the original OG. I remember the shutdown, it’s good to see you’ve got it back up and running.

I think I found Overgrow in 2003. I loved the forums (or fora is you must) and the pictures of people’s grows. I couldn’t get enough. Plus I found out what a magnesium deficiency looks like which REALLY HELPED! Hahaha.

Yes indeed! I was mostly active in about 2001 or 2002 I would guess. Posted up a big Mazar grow back then devastated to see its lost :frowning: Didn’t keep my own piccies.
