Environment here changed

[ReikoX]

No, it has nothing to do with the free seeds being given out IMO. I give out seeds weekly on my own thread. It allows me to give seeds away while generating traffic and conversations to my thread.

Really this is being brought up because of the GG#4 RIL group buy that went south. The thing of concern here is the feds deciding that they want their “fair share” of taxes from these proceeds. This could bring unwanted attention to the site. Remember Al Capone got busted for tax evasion, not being a mob boss. Also remember the original OG went down because of seed sales.

I will say it again, all monetary transactions should be done in private unless you are a paid sponsor of the site. You want to shill seeds online, do it on IG and see how long your account lasts.

Ive been here for a long time and don’t plan on going anytime soon. People come and go and the dynamic changes. There are still a ton of great threads on this site. If you make a topic in grow diaries, I’m likely lurking in the shadows.

@anon93244739

coming right after the bbq has me feeling like some of the older members really didn’t like that

I felt the same way, I mean I participated in it, but I viewed it as good ol fun, I didn’t win anything but I threw a few dibs out there. When this thread started, the first thing I thought of was you stirring something up with that BBQ and beans thread, that offended a bunch of people, even though it was fun as hell.

It’s a shame that someone offered some of their collection to the rest of the world and people lost their minds because of it.

(you could tell when someone was pissed, when they couldn’t get dibs fast enough, and would “slam the door on their way out”.)

Those are very wise words. I think you make a very valid point and I agree. Once money is involved the government always wants their piece of the pie. That is attention nobody wants.

I also think you will notice some have issues surrounding seeds being given out to certain folk and with the amount of chat that ends up in the seeds thread due to that. I am hoping some tweaks to the way this was being done will appease those folks. Should really be room for all to be happy here. I too am hoping not to be going anytime soon. Than again as some have pointed out, I am just a new guy around here although a large number of folk have made me feel like family.

I like the latest post in the free seeds. Lol answering a 5 day old post correction 7 days

[Chronickyle]

Yah just went to look… Lol… Wow.

[DougDawson]

Yeah, now that I have issues with just simply because it’s bad manners. Not so much as a hello, nice to meet you, nothing. Makes if feel like you are dealing with a panhandler. When the first thing you type on this site is Dibs there is a real issue IMO.

[Eagles009]

How much you wanna bet it’s not old weedsicles first account?

[Greenhighlander]

Thank you for pointing this out. Even though I have read and almost now reread this entire thread I have to admit I am a little at loss about what the actual issue is .
I am quite ok with the policy being unless it is a charity auction fundraiser for the site itself , no sales.
OG , Overgrowing the Greedy , to help the needy , one seed at a time lol

[BigMike55]

I guess I showed my ass over there. And got a spanking for it.

[DougDawson]

Sorry, I won’t take that bet.

[Slick1]

But Doug I am looking for some great American strains, could you help me? Only have European ones!

Those who know know.

[DougDawson]

You giving me clues, man, going to drive me berserk trying to figure this out

@BigMike55

I guess I showed my ass over there. And got a spanking for it.

LOL, yeah, they were worried about your manners commenting to someone with no manners

[Dirtron]

Don’t worry guys, soon I’ll have a few hundred, hopefully a few thousand not so great Auto blue berry seeds to hold the Dibb and Dashers at bay with.

Just kidding… I know not to feed the trolls.

[Slick1]

So is that the tactic? Throw the strays some bones and hope it distracts them from the table?

[LilJonB]

I’m getting the feeling and happy to see that we are all coming around and begging to get on the same page.

[BigMike55]

Me too. I really enjoy coming here and hanging out with the guys. Girls too. I do understand part of the problem. And I intend on doing my part by checking out peeps with their hands out before sending anything. Keeps me safer and I don’t feed the shitheads that are grab and dashers.

[LilJonB]

I’m guilty of it too. I’m sure we all are for the most part. We care a lot about one another and it shows. When folks take advantage of that it takes away from what we are actually doing here.

[Worstsideman63]

Yeah i want to post a journal but not legal where im at, so i gotta watch posting, but wish i could lol, already got hemed up once so

[anon62804309]

Ok I have talked to two people. I’m being honest. One was about what’s going on. Everyone knows him. I was curious. Wasn’t looking for anything free. One person I was curious also. I was offered free seeds. Did I say yes? I did. Not sure if I should have or not. If I get them I’ll do a grow to show support.

[LilJonB]
