As far as him breaking the rules on this site.... I know nothing of the matter, but whatever money he makes from his DVDs, or writings he deserves.... He stated that his farming was rewarded by the fruits of his labor in which he sold for cash.... Same goes for film, you work very hard on somthing, sometimes more than its worth, and you are rewarded with the fruits of your labor... sometimes this is cash most of the time its fans or a small following which it looks like he has started.

This site has been used to promote his videos, in which stays on the very subject most of are talking about anyway, whether or not hes sells the movie is his choice. From what I read about him being banned or the post being deleted, is that he just announced the film was going up for sale, not on this website, just for sale.

Doesnt this website promote the sale of Nirvana seeds and ONLY Nirvana seeds? Rather than giving a full list of actual seed banks with customer driven reviews, Nirvana remains to be the #1 preferred seed bank of this site using the popularity of this site to boost sales for the company... How would you guys feel if I said this whole site was created to make the users buy your seeds?
now please do not mistake this post as flame, it is simply my point of view onthe matter at hand, and my low post count can prove my lack of knowledge about this website.

I just dont see anything wrong with the announcement.

nirvana pays to advertise here. it helps keep the site running. threads like these use A LOT of server space, intentionally ("the biggest thread in rollitup history." - bdw 2007) A LOT. that shit ain't free.

i'm done. i have a biased opinion due to previous conflicts. peace all.

Oh trust me I understand... I own 3 websites which will remain unnamed, and deal with server costs all the time. I understand selling ad space on your site, this is how I profit.... but what left me with the idea that its a self promoted bank is that its the only ad space sold and preferred. With the kind of hits this site gets, there is plenty more places to sell... I hope its safe to assume that Nirvana pays you an assload or in fact owns the site.

I dunno I think my opinions come from what I have read, and what I haven't read since it seems like there is soo much missing information.
I think Ill have a seat, keep my mouth shut and read. I can continue on about hypocrisy in this thread, but this will just show how bored I really am right now.

I totally agree,but i'm sure you can agree that there are threads far worse than this.There are about 15-20 new threads created a day per growing section and the question has already been asked,told,answered about 1000 times.I find that annoying..even though i still answer their question

how hard is it to do a little research or look in the growfaq like the rules ask,or the fact that half the site is full of minors??does nobody follow those rules anymore and its okay???and does that not use bandwith??? or is just me??? Until real issues like that are addressed i could care less how much space this thread takes up.Thats like saying AsianKaties thread was useful??? not that i dislike her or anything but her thread was full of young kids/old weirdos hitting on her for a hundred pages long then all of the sudden she was just gone....If you can honestly say this thread is just as bad as those issues then address them all instead nitpicking this one thread because of your dislike to BDW.Thats my biased opinion on it.

funny you mention the minors on this site.... You can tell them apart very easily, one would be the "HELP MY PLANT IS IN TROUBLE" threads, as well as the utter stupidity of the posts, questions and comments left. The minors are in fact the ones who flame people who are asking genuine questions, and telling them to quit and they shouldnt be growing.
I would have to agree with pepe le pew or tok3s I do answer these same Qs everyday and also agree that those should be #1 priority for moderation over this obviously popular thread.... Whether or not BDW used this thread for personal promotion, it doesnt matter since his following extends further than this website can reach.

pepe le pew is fine

And thats exactly my point. if this thread really is and issue then i think we should fix all issues along with it,This thread my not be to useful for growing,but the videos that BDW posts are helpful to growing.I have yet to see anyone here who has more connections to cannabis world then BDW.He knows mark emery the "prince of pot" and probably the biggest seed seller know to man. Hes going to try and interview Thomas "Tommy" B. Kin Chong One of the best weed stars of our time..And people are telling me this is waste of thread space???

Maybe the skunks just fuking with me.

smoke bud legally.... thats at the bottom of the post right above mine.. so there is another sponsor...

also gardenknowm has "advertised" his stuff on here.. and alot of you will say "he's staff so i guess that makes him better than us"

no... he HELPS anytime someone posts in his threads and he often pops in other threads to offer his knowledge when he can.... and has never belittled anyone (to the best of my knowledge) especially another staff member....

I haven't read this whole thread, but the last few pages have been interesting...i for one would rather just watch it for free on youtube... i could give a fat fuck less about some "behind the scenes" or some shit...

Well it's just like getting a loan I guess in a way. If you want to borrow money from a Bank or Broker since it is their game, it's also their rules. Maybe he didn't know the rules, maybe he did. Theres no denying the guy is talented, and did provide us with many great readings as well as the great videos. As for this site, I love it. Even though I only found it a couple of weeks ago or so. I'm not sure if any advertising will be permitted for BDW or not, but we've all enjoyed his efforts to this point and I think I speak for most of us. As I said before..Rollitups site, Rollitups rules, but can't blame the guy from trying. I'm donating but thats my preference. Anybody who wants should also know that this isn't the only place to get in touch with BDW. There is also messaging tools from other places like YouTube and MySpace. Hope I'm not banned too for that, but I personally have a lot of appreciation for BDW, as well as this site.

lol i love RIU.People coming in on the last few pages,people talking about subjects that make little or no sense at all,spelling that makes 5 year olds look smart,squabbles between each other,we got dirty zekedogs and comedic garden knowms,people who grow forests of weed in their backyard,ripped dirt warriors breaking shovels like twigs,hundreds of the same questions asked repeatedly hundreds of times, threads with lonely stoners hitting on some chick that may not even be a chick,people getting offended over statements like"your plant looks over watered" then they reply with some thing like "Fuk you" "or suka ma dik"They even spell that way

As you can see we are one of a kind,and i mean one of a kind
