Did I get banned from Rollitup?

[Ttystikk]

The notorious rep is merely something of the past, including the suggestion they favor left or whatever. Over the past 6+ months about 20 out of the 25 regular posters in the politics forum were banned, threatened/trolled/powertripped away by the new toxic and clownish incompetent administration. Contrary to popular belief, the politics forum already became the most reasonable area, the members anyway. Try posting historical verifiable facts about cannabis and things really get wild. They pretty much killed the politics forum before it went down. One can argue whether there should be a Politics forum (declaring the topic taboo is beyond my comprehension of how far humanity takes its desire to self-destruct, same for stoners not being leftwinged) but you don't treat senior members like that in any setting regardless.

Freedom of speech isn't relevant imo but since some people brought it up, the charm of the politics forum and rollitup in general was the leeway people got, it was brutal before youtube comments and twitter turned into a cesspool. Might not work well for a serious grow site but it was rollitup, trollitup, not grow (it) up.

Nice to see you here!

Looks like they are having some serious issues over there. They are still down. The message originally said they expect to be up on the 12th, then the 14th which was yesterday.
These are not good signs.

Personally I've never had issues with the forum but I found some great info over there. Hopefully they haven't lost it all

The timeline is to be expected; NOC repairs and upgrades usually take at least twice as long as expected. I have 80% confidence they'll be up by the end of the month and 50% confidence they'll be up by the 21st. I know they're working hard at it and they know the site is far too valuable to simply let go.

Not sure which service providers you've used in the past, but all my self managed servers have hardware issues fixed within 12hrs at the most. Only one that ever took a few days was an ultra budget one (wholesale internet) who suffered a lightning strike about 12 months ago and it took them a good week to go through and fix everything.

In my experience, and I really hope it's not the case here, if it's taking any longer than 24hrs there is something seriously wrong. A Basic 3-2-1 back up strategy would usually see a database/site restored in next to no time. Even if it's missing the last couple of entries.

Fingers crossed it's just something simple and it'll be up soon

- I'm sitting here having a very reasonable debate with Loki - the PomShitzPoo mutt pup - who understands the necessity of CIVIL DISCOURSE - when engaging with others - on sensitive subjects - such as getting fleas around his nads - and progressive social interactions with Labradoodles at the park - such a sensible pup he is - and only 11 months old

I'm absolutely clueless about modern computer science and data center management. I understand their setup was cobbled together on the fly and didn't take into account the positivity of natural disasters. Under no circumstances do I want to leave anyone with the impression that I know what their specific issues are or how to fix them.

You've clearly just admitted to knowing far more than me on the subject! I will defer to your knowledge.

Can’t ‘like’ posts in this thread for some reason but wanted to echo what someone else posted before: mighty gracious of you to not nuke this thread. Normally would not bother but felt my previous post was in place out of respect for the two dozen people I connected with nearly daily for years. Good folk in my book.

Nice to see you here!

Likewise tty! *fistbump* Mr. vertical grower, person I could disagree with without getting each other’s butt’s hurt. ‘Known’ you for what 12 years or so? Thanks to riu so there’s that. Mildly put the new administration, not naming her directly out of respect… guess who created her avatar in better days… does not value any sense of community or human connections, seems it’s just usernames on a screen for them. I do miss my interactions with Fogdog and cannabineer and even serial-poster DIY-HPS-LED. Fuck, didn’t even like half of them, but they‘d make fine cannabis-growing neighbors regardless.

What brings us all together on this site - is the interest and love of cultivating and using cannabis - whether it be for medicine or recreation - for most all of us - it's a lifetime pursuit - that we share on these forums with people from all nations - so from the get-go we all have something in common to discuss -

Whatever political ideology our members might believe in or not - is basically irrelevant - but we do allow discussions of a political nature - in the Speakers Corner - if that is your want - as well as many other off-cannabis-topics - that may also interest our members -

We have to have Moderators because occasionally some members go beyond the understanding of civil discourse - and start attacking each other personally - if others don't agree with whatever they are stating - which to me shows childish immaturity - in their inability to discuss their opinions without turning to ad hominem attacks - so the moderators might give these site agitators a month ban initially - in the hope that they might reflect upon what they have said - and why they have been given a temporary ban - then come back to us without any vitriol or bad feelings towards the site and our members - and carry on posting more sensibly and respectfully - if not - and the member continues to be a nuisance - then they may be the recipient of a life time ban -
All are welcome on ICMAG - personally I don't care what politics or religion a member believes in - or wants to discuss - so long as they do it in such a way that follows the sites terms of use (TOU) - and don't attack the Moderators - for just trying to sort it all out for the common good of ICMAG -

I've been around for a long time. Over might say I've made the plant my career.

No forum will ever stop me from my appointed rounds!

I lurked on friendly forums for years long ago. IC was very helpful, and still is
RIU always seemed to have a lot of activity on LED lights etc, more than others back then. I was kind of an “Early Adopter” of that type of lights.

Same here. The LED community there was magical at the time because it brought together a lot of people with interest in the new technology and the desire to use it to grow cannabis in particular and plants in general.

That magic can be duplicated anywhere the right people come together and in fact is being duplicated here on ICMag as we speak; there are several forums where all the same discussions are happening. I know; I was part of those discussions on Trollitup and I'm part of them here. Even many of the same people have found their way here. Please join the discussion; the more, the better!

When will people realize that "dems" and "republicans" are part of the same club just playing a game of illusions to control and monitor the population?

When they accept using improper means is not separable from the end result.

Freedom of choice is a necessary ingredient for the establishment of virtue.
