The shroomery has helped me gaining a lot of knowledge about mushroom cultivation. It has also supported the nexus with several threads while the nexus was down. It's true that the tone is different and i like it better here, but still, a fresh perspective from time to time can't be bad and i think it is totally superflous to engage in forum fight. Just let them be as they are as we are as we are.
When the nexus was down for those recent periods of time, I too found my way over to the shroomery to try and get my psychedelic message board fix. I simply could not find it there. So much of the attitude on that forum is childish, immature and highly uninformed. Those who don't take the experience seriously will not have much to get out of it, and I think part of the Nexus' "rules and regulations" promote positive critical thinking that can help to allow you to derive the most value from your experiences. Some rules may seem obscure, but everything has a rhyme or reason and most Nexians are for this kind of structure. If you would like to talk about something that the Nexus does not encourage, then anyone is more than welcome to express such opinions elsewhere (such as the shroomery).
