Like, and I mean no offence by this Bob, but you proabably have more posts than I do and I've been on this site for a lot longer, it's just I'm really picky about what I choose to post or respond to. I've been coming to the city for a long time, and I'll probably keep coming because it gives me a place to talk about the stuff I love with some people I've come to feel I know. But... this is a forum, which means open ideas, and as long as there are newbies who want to know how long everyone else has been smoking or what you use to smoke, those questions will keep popping up, especially in this forum. If you look at General or Pandora's Box you may find more interesting things to respond to.
And as for the Joint forum, I joined since there were quite a few people over there that I knew from GC, but half the time I'm afraid to click on links or open posts cause I'm really not a fan or dead bodies or other women's boobs. And I think the rivalry is stupid, since if you are so against GC, just start your own forum and forget about this place, don't try to "get back" at another forum. Geesh, this has gotten childish.
So anyway, sorry for the long response but I finally felt I had to say something. I've gone on other forums like Overgrow, and I keep coming back here because there are people here that feel like my stoner family. And to you guys, you rock. And to everyone else, you're entitled to your own opinions, but think hard about what you really can change and what you can't, and how much some random newb posts on a pot forum affect your life.

That is a really great response. I do think though that the issue of being stoners and not wanting to search could be fixed if they improved the search. If they could make it easy to access and accurate then people would be more likely to search. As the search function stands right now it is very inaccurate and basically just copies the first 2 pages of the forum back to you.
Yes I have a lot of responses but that is because I responded to a lot of posts in the beginning. This place was a place for me to come and chat with other people about cannabis but eventually it was like it was on a looping conversation with repetitive posts.
The joint forum has some real jerks in their ranks; I don’t care for some of the posts there especially the porn ones. The need to come back here and cause trouble is childish and uncalled for. So you did not work in this forum move on and get over it. I mean it is a forum anyway how big of a deal should you make out of it.
I also think that they should reorganize the way that the category of the forums I think if they broke it out in to better sections we would get less repeat posts. A lot of posts get piled in to one forum and get lost with in a few days. If they broke the forum up in to sections about pipe, weed, smoking methods, surveys and stuff like that it would be a lot easier to find information.
