History of Overgrow.com

Very interesting comment (the only one this account ever made) in a thread @LemonadeJoe crosslinked to here, commenting on Subcool’s story of RC and Heaven’s Stairway:

Man i just got back on the internet and nobody took my handle, that’s awesome. There was some many people that help contribute to the forums everyday, there was this guy, “hempcat” he lived in Amsterdam and had a green house one of the few place it was legal in the 90’s he shared so much content, sorry for commenting on a dead thread. Glad this site is back. I am way late to the party, been growing in the dark since they took marc emery down.

That would be a fun tally to run, we all had goofy windows 95 logos or Linux penguins, or linux red hat as our images, stuff that would be retro now days. I mean i was in my 20’ and talking to guys in their 60’s id imagine a-lot of them have passed by now. I’d hope they are still around though, it was scary to put what we had online. There where no vpns to other countries, and back then packet sniffing, tracking, tracing was fair game, no law or regulations… now there is so many forums, and even groups on meta its crazy…happy growing

I used to post alot on there under the same username. I was most definitely a post whore. I wonder if anyone remembers me.

Thanks Prince Gpaw DougDawson Tejas.

You are not wrong Gpaw it went on jan the 31 2006 .The reason i know that day so Well Its my Birthday I was so pissed off all their was was a sign from the bloody RCMP.

Typical Only reason i ever got online and bought my first pc.Was

Because i found Overgrow back in 2000 by chance while browsing on a m8 pc.I still keep intouch with one m8 which i meet from their tow this day.We have been to the Dam twice together.

I had the pleasure to meet many other members from back in the days at a ic cup just after OG and CW went down.

It came back to me the other night.Just like that , haidier was my old OG name.

Tis good too see some old faces still about Uncle Ben Hippy chick.

Does their happen to be a Old Overgrow pic thread on this site.So if any folks still have any old pics .From back in the days they are all posted on it.

The reason i ask is i have looked but cant find a thread like that.As i have a shite load of old pics from the old Overgrow.Alot of my old ones from on their and many others still.Which i had saved.
