Changes at Skunk Pharm Research
- Thread starter Gray Wolf
- Start date
Thanks for the heads up brother! Another amazing thang I never imagined was available.
We'uns was misspelled and pronounced we uns. If'n it was ya'll, it would be you'uns. Ah sometimes get confused and unintentionally misspell numbers as well.
Yeah, for sure a tough crowd to slip something by.
They're baaaaack! Must have been broke instead of the installing improvements thang.

I find it somewhat impossible to believe that someone as demonstrably technically savvy as yourself seems to be consistently flummoxed by fairly simple computer type issues. If you ever do decide that you want to give up the headache of having others doing your website work for you and do it yourself instead, you will find that the task is far, far simpler than what you're doing with CLS design.
Wait until you are in your mid 70's brother and watch how fast technology is changing.
It's not as much that I'm incapable of learning or keeping track, it's that other things demand enough of my attention that I have to choose priorities.
I just learn how to program and operate computer program, and it is replaced as obsolete, with operation of the replacement entirely different. Same with the TV, microwave, alarm clock, and now my all electric car.
Even the Seiko digital that I fell in love with when it first came out, had different programming the three times I bought one, and lets talk about changes in hand held calculators since they debuted in the late 60's.............
It was probably Dilbert that said, "I'm not an idiot, I'm an engineer, a common mistake." I can relate exactly to what he is talking about, because anytime we become highly focused on one area of our consciousness, it is at the expense of other areas, social graces for instance.
In my case I'm so far behind reading everything new in my field of expertise, that I don't have time to keep up in other fields, especially those changing as fast as cyberspace, sooooo do what all good Manufacturing Engineering Program Managers do, and that is go find someone expert it that specific field for that part of the project.
Before retirement, my most effective teams members all had different specialties, and we complimented each other as opposed to backing one another up. If we didn't have the in house skills, we went looking for the acknowledged expert with those specific skills.
What that allowed us to do, is individually focus on pushing the state of the art in our areas of expertise, in support of one another, so that the overall project was greater than the sum of its parts.
I understand completely, GW, being in my 70s too. I read actual books and use a basically incomprehensible smart phone only for actually talking to people. Wise people our age know we need to rely on the millennials to help us keep up, to survive a little longer even.

I understand that you're already a busy dude with other more valuable and interesting skills and hobbies, but don't sell yourself short as a potential internet publisher. I promise you that sufficient mastery of the relevant computer technology is easily within your grasp if you would rather go the DIY website route. I mention this because navigating the necessary social relationships involved in having someone else do it for you seems like it might be more of a headache than self publishing might be. The basics that go into putting together a web document haven't changed in 20 years or so and typing up a web document really isn't all that much more difficult than typing up a post here.
Mo changes!
Mo changes!
More changes at SPR to be aware of. While I've always given free access to use in any way ya'll saw fit, the rules have now changed.
Caution using SPR as reference material without permission from their "head cheese." I would print their caveat that clearly spells it out, but that would violate the caveat itself..............https://skunkpharmresearch.com/terms/
As he has the right to manage his new business as he sees fit, my best advice is to honor his demands to the letter, or find a new resource if that doesn't work for you.
For those of ya'll who can hang in there, us'n original skunk pharmer founders will have our new TheAlchemistResource.com site on line soon, to fill that void and we will throw in up to date offerings for the discriminating.

Ha ha ha ha ha. Thy dont kno th diference between winterize and decarb.
Regardless of whose picking their new articles, the manager is responsible, and imbecile is not a description I would choose, nor do I think he is trying to shoot the site in the foot. I think you may be confusing stupidity with ignorance.
My take watching from the side lines, is that he is clearly marketing to a different crowd than who we built the site to attract.
I base that on new threads like 5 Essentials every "Stoners" needs, and the since removed Rosin video opening with the chant, MF, MF, I'm so high, MF, MF, I'm so high I could fly.
As to confusing weak minds and ignorance, the deeper your level of incompetence on a given subject, the less you are able to perceive that incompetence.
My take is that the editor really doesn't know the difference between Winterizing and Decarboxylation, and if he did, he cares enough to have labeled it properly.
I also think the quality and depth of what's been posted since we founders were locked out, speaks for itself, so I will let everyone decide for themselves and not share my own thoughts.
The good news is that we now own, The Alchemist Resource.com domain and are currently filling out the new platform. It won't provide all of the rich history detailed on SPR, but it will have updated information for those who find the new SPR no longer meets their expectations.
Using their own numbers, SPR was up to around 83,000 views per month when new management took over. Since they are advertising that is their volume as we speak, to promote advertising space sales, I have no doubt they are watching those numbers closely so as not to be guilty of fraudulent advertisement.

PS: Nice new article on SPR about what returning Gray Wolves to Yellowstone accomplished! At our level of ignorance at the time we killed them off there, we had no concept of their contribution................
Such an overall disappointing situation/ outcome, except for the new site coming online. Sounds like you have the right attitude and wlll be better off in the end, but lawyers aren't cheap in the meantime.
Has to be a way to independently verify that current views per month. Hard to believe it's what it was when all three of you left.
