where to start
my username is oldpink and has been on just about every site I am registered to
started smoking hash when I was not much older than 15 as in the Uk there wasn’t much else to smoke
20 years ago weed started appearing and I liked it and wanted more so a friend that grew gave me some equipment and clones the rest is history
in 1999 I set up my first grow and set foot down a path that I never expected
I was already very internet savvy as I was into downloading games and software and selling it on and and also experimenting with coding basic sites and active in the usernet groups as I had access to servers and could set up drop sites
a week into my first grow I started to have issues so I turned to the internet for info on hydroponics about the 3rd hit I got was a small forum called Overgrow
I quickly found info that helped solve my issue (Mg deficiency) and signed up
within a month I’d been made a mentor and by 2001 I was asked to be a Mod by ~S~
dates after that are a bit blurry as I was up to my neck it a lot of growing and going to Amsterdam
then the ~S~ v RC shit hit the fan
I ended up being Admin on OG that was Ok till RC vanished for months and the mods ran the site
RC came back then POM entered the picture when I was working for RC and Gypsy on IC
shit got messy
court cases ensued threats were made about ownership of OG
people tried to profit from the popularity of both sites and the value of them
during all the turmoil and so called dope opera’s shit got real and RC got took out and OG went down
then IC was in the middle of a court case over ownership thats well documented on other sites
after that was all over I worked on IC mag as Admin and on the seed sites that Gypsy ran and took them over when he got arrested in the PI on a US warrant which is still ongoing though only on appeal as the US lost the initial case in the Uk
if anyone has any questions please feel free to ask
