Forum Updates as we get utilized more!
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2025 7:51 pm
A few updates I plan to do as I see forum usage rising, and as we approach 10k hits on the main site!
-A chat. I know that I was against a chat, but this is more of a "shoutbox" idea, and the slow-form method of a forum I still feel is best.
-Google Search integration. This also owes to the forum structure for people who have questions or need quick answers down the line.
-Theming. The forum shall one day be more Green and Orange. Maybe some Purple and Blue for those strains heh.
-More Plugins. I personally want to be able to ctrl+b for Bold and whatnot.
-Main Site Teasers. On the List and the Wiki there will be a "X new posts on the forum lately!" and expect to see the bubble toast notifications return, as events pick back up.
Lately I am putting most of my work into my main job and whatnot, but I have also been getting more commissions from sales so I have been allocating more effort here, and have the site paid to run for years now. That being said this site will always get updates and love, but the speed at which will remain low priority until I can take less work-work, yknow? Expect some marketing and whatnot too, hopefully we can get more members in the forum.
Also now that I have some money coming in from here that means...
GIVEAWAYS ARE RETURNING!
Some notes about giveaways:
-Random-style, such as "post in this thread!"
-Requires a forum account to post in the giveaway thead.
-Accounts must be ACTIVE! This means posting in the last 60 days. (Note: You can post before submitting your entry, and this is waived the first few times)
-Accounts must be 3 days old! (This will be waived the first few times. Note: Giveaways will run much longer than 3 days!)
-Will be with a partner. This means I will get an ounce or half-ounce at a better price and their name will be mentioned as the provider of the flower and also as a thank you to them.
The bad news: KYC. Sorry, but I dont want to go to jail. I need to make sure users are:
-At or over 21 years of age
-Not from one of the very few states that may be banned by the giveaway partner.
-Not abusing the system with multiple accounts. This will result in disqualification and permanent ban.
-A US Resident (Sorry, but sending to Canada is not legal).
