and we are in a vicious circle yet again xD this is the same thing DDFP420.net tried to do like a year and a half ago and failed
here we stand today and we are building the exact same thing. funny how that works?

All official shit should be included in the OP for clarity and ease of access.
What is the problem exactly? I cant see it being a legal thing considering all it takes for anyone to see posts in DD is registering to the forums which any 14 year old can figure out and if you're worried about people going off topic with bad posts they would be banned.
I dont see why the rules would change just because the thread moved, if that was thst case I don't think this thread would even still be open
I smoked and now I don't feel so worked up about losing DD. I'm disappointed, but whatever, we can all still get along I think.
Rolling a blunt in memory of Durgs Discussion.

As I said in the main bitching thread, it's more or less that DD was a great resource for people to approach drugs safely. If someone, for example, wanted to experiment with Amphetamines they could find not only content on it in DD, but also approach the questions thread to get feedback from people with experience who can give advice.
Even though you could argue that it can still be done here in one thread; the problem with megathreads is that it's just a slurry of posts, which makes it difficult to pinpoint any feedback--especially if posters are just casually chatting; which is fairly common for my doob wielding brethren.

The only problem that I am aware of is that if you want to find a drug related thread, you're going to have to spend a whole lot more time searching for it. Before you could click on the DD section and everything was there, now you have to skim through all these unrelated threads for pages on GD to find them.
this sucks, it was pretty much the only sub-forum i used. farewell dd.

You're my hero, thank you.
Honestly I didn't care about the changes, even though my preferred board, dota 2, got shut down as well. The information we have is constantly evolving so going back and looking up old info would be really dumb. So just going and finding the newest thread about dota 2 in GD is fine with me. I don't even post on this board, I just read all of your info about durgs and it would have really bugged me if I wasn't able to go back find your posts for future reference.
Wait don't stop reading I want to bitch about one more thing: PUI banning in DD is fucking ridiculous.
so if i theoretically say i was high, which i may or may not be, i would theoretically get banned
for all intents and purposes i may or may not be posting in the addicts lounge under the influence. i may or may not be smoking weed out of a bong right now and i definitely may OR may not think all of this shit is really just hilarious and that the forums look kinda nice reduced to one column

My thoughts on the matter, from the other thread
Anyone remember Kelloggs, I'm trying to find his posts for the DXM thread.
[QUOTE=QuinnithXD;46927307][url]http://ben.ovcult.us/420/[/url][/QUOTE]
yo I don't want to use something he coded in a day without at least being able to look at the code first
for all I know he's not hashing user passwords and who knows if it's SQLi vulnerable. It'd take a grand total of 5 minutes getting everyone's passwords if he doesn't know what he's doing.
look what i found

edit wow huge
My only concern with making a separate site is that it would just be the current community, and there wouldn't be a persistent influx of people from other parts of FP to keep it going as people leave/come back
If the new site is private, how do we get more people in
Maybe a whole new organization instead of a standard forum would help, some way to solve the "slurry of posts" problem. We want to be able to talk all in one place for the most part, so we could put the main chatting area as the focus/central part of the site. The other types of threads that show up are drug-specific threads, question threads, post-your threads, and funny shit/free-form conversation threads.
We could give these different types of threads their own subsections but that really just ends up secluding them all, and in old DD they were all together but you could easily get lost
I propose we move away from the old top-down section system and go with a bottom-up tag system. Threads will still be threads, but when you create one you give it one/multiple tags (either from a pre-made set or maybe anything you want), and then you can either view all threads or filter/sort by tags
This new batch smells like someone just cut open a grapefruit.
It hits harsh like grapefruit too.
Does smoking keep my primary SSRI from working? I'm not sure if I truly feel any different from last tuesday. I felt more depressed today than I have for a couple weeks until I got out of the house, smoked, ate, and cuddled in front of the tv with my ex.

they delete the drug discussion subforum and then get mad and ban when people from it post about using drugs in their refugee thread

Guys, i'm going to shoot a pm to BDA about closing the dxm thread. I have the feeling that he'll understand since he's a reasonable moderator.
[editline]14th January 2015[/editline]
Whoops, he's not online, i'l pm someone else. If anyone opposes this, say something. I don't think we could leave it up and still say we're in the interests of harm minimisation.
reporting in to the DD refugee site, a real shame to see it go.

It was nice knowing you DD'ers, we had a good run... Stay [img]http://www.facepunch.com/fp/ratings/weed.png[/img]
I never seen so many posts from DD in such a short space of time.
If it's required I can offer web hosting, but I can't code for shit.
It's okay to be high in this thread but boring and fairly dumb to post just to say that. Posts should have some content. If you are actually incoherent you may get a ban just to give you a break to recover, the posts won't make any sense, so why continue?
It's not usually going to be okay to post elsewhere in GD to say you are high.
This follows the same principle as what it says in The Rules about nudity. Posting naked ladies in a thread about hot naked ladies is okay, posting naked ladies in a thread about trains is not okay. Use common sense.
gentlemen, it's been an honour and a privilege posting with you

Hinestly im more concerned for the trippers amongst us
Mods are gonna cause a lot of bad trips at this rate
Imagine someone getting banned while in the middle of a trip because they wanted to come in here and post their incoherent/semi coherent ramblings that are usually heavily off topic as it is
But if we had a forum we could have fancier avatars and all the moderators would be drug addicts.
Sounds killer!
I can't go to something awful I spend all my money on weed.
[editline]14th January 2015[/editline]
Facepunch is trying to make me broke
Wait so we're allowed to post that we're high aslong as it has content?
Isn't being high the fuucking content for christs sakes it's a drug thread.
[editline]14th January 2015[/editline]
Honestly the uptightness of facepunch has always bugged me, the apparent need to have "quality posts" I mean I understand if it's pure dribble but saying "I'm high" doesn't hurt anyone, the old dd sub forum was almost a refuge of the dying breed of chill dudes/ladies of fp
yeah I mean, this thread doesn't even have a topic per se, it's a 'lounge' for 'addicts' as defined by the title, and for the most part our focus and content is on drugs given that we're from the drug discussion sub forum;
but addictions can be literally anything, if someone came in and talked to us about something like masturbation addiction we'd take them seriously and provide them referential knowledge and the safety of somewhere to talk about it, we don't discriminate in here even if we find it hilarious, we do our best to help each other out and keep the chill,
we don't really have any hard defined type of content; we just talk our minds and are our own micro community of sorts
if anything, posting under the influence to say what you're high on like "I'm so fucking high on some killer bud right now" is literally the closest thing to an 'on topic' post given that context, in terms of the content of the post
the other closest would be people just going 'hi i'm an addict this is my addiction'
if you're talking about post content and topics, please, don't come into our friendly mental playground when you don't even fucking know what we're about and essentially disturb the sanctity and friendly atmosphere we provide for people regardless of what state of mind they're in, we don't discriminate, and we like to know what other people in our community are up to, it's what creates things like accountability and allows for us to help eachother when things get outta hand, if I didn't make posts about being on meth while I was on meth, I wouldn't have had the community feedback that helped me get off meth,
and because I don't want to single anyone else out, this is a very common sort of thing in this community, without a place to have the freedom and support that we offer, you're essentially stepping on the fundamentals of the community itself,
I could understand if it was like, "Drug science discussion thread" or even just "drug discussion thread"
but this is the addict's lounge for fuck sake, it doesn't even have a hard topic,
sorry i'm looping a little today, i'm hyperactive as fuck and haven't had my medicine in a while so this really grinds my gears
we weren't even exclusive to drug addicts though, that's what gets me, it was literally just a lounge which we could feel safe to discuss these types of things, celebrate or express our thoughts feelings and all that in relation to these sorta things, and you might think someone drunken rambling is shit posting but to us it's often very entertaining and welcomed, it's part of the dynamic of the free form of our lounge and often led to some very hilarious and entertaining banter that absolutely no one here had an issue with, what do moderators not fucking get about that?
that's why I say fuck you, this is a self moderating community, and was a safe haven anyway for those states of mind that would otherwise be detrimental anywhere else, for some of us it's what STOPS us from filling the rest of the forum with dumb shit, let alone people we know in real life? if I didn't have this thread to come to post in when i'm in those states of mind, i'd probably offload those kinda thoughts on people in the real world who otherwise discriminate against my drug use, instead of help me get through whatever i'm going through, people that would make me feel like shit for having a good time, hell, i'd probably drunk dial my ex gf (something i've managed to fucking avoid, simply because I have had the freedom to post in here as an alternative, numerous fucking times)
you really want to take that option away from people?
sorry for getting angry mods, you must understand, I have a strong connection to this thread simply because of the freedom it allowed, it was the place to express the anarchy of my mind and it's possibly saved my own and other's lives by simply being there without the discrimination of PUI posts, I agree somewhat with what moderators say about them being dumb but it's not as simple as black and white; a 'dumb' pui post can often lead to further in depth discussion, there's so many different types of PUI, so many different kinds of states of mind a person could be in when they're doing a PUI, let us decide what's alright and what's not because we're the ones that usually do it, we know the shit we're on about even if you don't, fucking with it by banning people ultimately disturbs the peace and falsifies that good nature we are all about, and look how angry it gets us? moderation has already disturbed the peace and thrown us off, someone should take responsibility for the fact and straight up apologize, even if you were just doing your job, we've called you out, we as a community disagree with the practice in relation to this space, we respect your rules and we expect you to respect us equally,
Moderation and administration is /FOR/ the people, is it not? listen to the fucking community and leave us be, because your interference is not wanted nor needed here, we will contact YOU if we need your help or intervention with something; using the report feature you have implemented, if no one reports a post, obviously no one has a problem with it, thus why should those people be punished if they've caused no harm? what else would the report feature even be there for if you guys are just gonna troll through and flex your power for unnecessary reasons in subcommunities such as our own
it's the equivelent of allowing for a thread called 'shit posters thread', and banning people for shit posting in it, like, sure, the global forum rules say not too, but by allowing such a space for people, you minimize the impact of that kind of behavior on the rest of your forum, it's ironic to even allow something in the first place if you're just gonna use it as an entrapment to ban people, not to mention that practice in the real world would land you in a lot of legal trouble, allowing those spaces on the other hand and leaving them be? it's a peace keeping tactic that moderators should be well fucking aware of from the day they signed up for that shit, it helps keep the rest of your forum on topic and free of interference from such things
so here's what I propose
either a. fuck off and leave us alone, we'll call you if we need help
b. appoint an exclusive thread moderator that actually /knows/ what's up given the nature of our thread, I'd suggest someone like kyle v2, ffstudios, cypher, zach, cody, or you know, one of the many other regulars that have been here for quite some time, those are just the first people that came to mind
but don't fuck our shit up otherwise you'll fuck your own shit up by removing the safety net
kthxbai
Man, I wasn't too much of a regular around old DD, but I popped in every now and then to ask or answer questions and I loved the nice environment, found lots of great music as well.
I also had the opportunity to get some (very very dilute, it was for a lab) Fentanyl, but I chickened out. To be perfectly honest it was a 100 nM sample so there was almost no chance of me actually having anything that would have had an effect, but even so I wanted to try some for the sake of it.
Then I thought about my addictive personality and how this is not a good idea at all and I left everything in place.
