What happened to good ol' Grass City???

  1. I wonder to my self; what happened to grass city; a lot. after i seen that mr. bubbles was deciding to leave; i thought to myself (how could the greatest thing i have ever found on the internet "Grass City" turn into the one thing i hated the most "the goverment") that i had to stand up for what i believe for. and that is
    "freedom for all". after i think about it, the city has turned into something like the gov't, they try to set up a bunch of rules, after they act like they are just like us and don't believe in rules to govern. something has to happen, if i am the only person who feels this way than i am happy, becuz atleast i have the ballz to say what i have on my mind. i wish it could be just like the old dayz when we had everyone on here that could speak their minds. think about it...... i mean no disrespect towards the mods, but if they think that i have crossed the line, than i have crossed the line and there ain't no coming back, we need to do something to change the city. i may not know the perfect way to change but atleast i know we have to change. pm me if u have an idea to change the city. someone needs to revolutionize the city it may not be me, but it may be you. help me out. :bongin:

    keepsmokinreefa u and mrbubbles r the reason why i wrote this thread. peace and good luck.
     
  2. NO WAY it could be me who changes this place . not uhhh ... ur just joshin me, .... Lols i am jut joking with you. but seriously i agree with you. I dont know what it is with forums but it bores ppl i think that is the reason mr. bubbles is leaving . he is simply bored with being here. ( not dissin on u GC) i know what it feeels like i have been on many forums which were like the shit in the beggining and then they just died out.. not enough new things or just the " kool" ppl ( mr. bubbles included) leave. when somone that high on the lists leaves it makes ppl wonder y and what for ..... but we wil never know. mr. bubbles could u tell us plz!!!??? we really need 2 know.. any hoo i am sooo fuckin baked so i will chat wit u all later by the way bronco420 i am giving u reps for ur ballz lolz +rep


    peace out
     
  3. The reason we have rules is so, the forums stays mature and organized. Would you really want a bunch of 14 year old posting the same question? 'am I inhaling right??'

    :hello:eric:hello:
     
  4. We have rules because this site is paid for by Superjoint and he wants the rules. Every rule we have came straight from him and he is the one who pays the bills and invented Grasscity in the first place. I know SJ very well and I know what he wants and doesn't want in the forums. Indy and I follow through with his suggestions and we do what we can to keep the City as he wants it.

    One reason we're bringing in more Mods is because it's hard for the two of us to moderate ALL posts and too much has been sliding through the cracks. We need more Mods to clean the City up even more. In simple terms, that means the rules will be more enforced.

    So, I don't really know what to tell you if you don't like the rules.
     
  5. I feel the same bro we need SOME rules. You cannot have any order w/o rules. :D JOE>


    P.S. Thank you SJ and all the mod
     
  6. i dont liek what the city is now, backa few yaers ago mab more there werent so many people and it was nicer cause u knew each person alittle better, now its always the same type of threads and i jst dont post as much as i used to, its gotten lame to me
     
  7. I'm all for the rules, haha, it keeps the city the way i like it :p
     


  8. this is what i meant ^^ i can handle some rules. but u mods have been pretty strict lately, i have one last question then, why is it that i haven't seen superjoint on the forums in a long time? i was pretty drunk last nite when i typed that thread so sorry if it offended anybody, but i am just tired of people leavin all the time. dont u guys?
     
  9. Have you ever noticed that these threads come up in EVERY forum on the net? More people join, different personalities; of course its going to change.
     


  10. Superjoint is running his business which is the Shop and it was here way before the forums existed. He checks in and he talks to Indy and I almost daily but he is very busy with his business. The Shop is his livelihood. He also deals with the serious technical stuff along with his team but Indy and I are in charge of the forums.

    As far as people leaving...things and people change. It's part of life. delaWHERE? said it all very well in the thread that Bubbles posted last night and bubbles even made it clear as to why he had thought about leaving and it wasn't due to the rules being enforced, it was due to the lack of enforcement.
     
  11. ok i believe u, but do u realize that i said i was drunk last nite when i typed that thread? ok im sorry if i struck a nerve or something. i dont want you to think im disrespecting anybody.
     
  12. No nerve was struck. I was just trying to explain what was up. :)
     
  13. this is just the natural progression of forums. I've wasted enough of my life on the internet to have seen several cycles in my favorite forums. New members don't always have the same mindset as the original members and that causes and increased awareness of rules. Some people create noise about it and others like me say its normal :p

    Sure the place has changed, but its not totally bad. You got to remember that we're all potheads here :smoking: and that usually brings with it a certain mindset and personality. We'll always have prominent members no matter what generation of their registration they are. I see GC continuing for a good 5+ years all things permitting. Its hard to tell after that with computers.

    And us all being tokers, I highly doubt that the few rules that we have (that we should have) will never become draconian. I have never seen any of our mods act rashly on the board.

    Im happy about spending my time here. If you are disappointed by the post quality at times, just remember it doesn't really matter, they're just computer forums. :)
     
  14. with out rules there is no structure
     
  15. Exactly... The forum I mod at goes through this cycle every 3 months.. WE're only half the size grasscity is (we've only 35k members), but they can get damned annoying with their 'PBF isnt what it used to be' threads... No. It isnt what it used to be. Thats because that's the past. Nothings ever going to be the way it used to me. That's really the only think we know for sure.

    Time goes on, and shit changes . Don't complain. Just enjoy today. Because tomorrow, you're going to wish you enjoyed it more.
     
  16. well thank you..yes its not the same here..but i stil llove it
     
  17. i'm not saying i don't love it, i just hate seeing some really good people on here leave becuz of some other douche bags. (not naming anyone) i understand why gc has rules, everything in this world needs rules.
