This is not another one of those immature bitch about rollitup and talk like a retard threads.

I am extremely disappointed in this site and its moderators, i was recently (well about 2 weeks now) wrongfully banned from irc, it seems that someone thinks that my IP is another user, brutus's IP and for that i was banned without questioning or concern. I have been using rollitup's irc network since before brutus was banned, and that is what baffles me. at any rate, i joined this site like 2-3 years ago, right around when it started. I have been a relitvely active member and have up until this point really enjoyed the site. I am severly disappointed as of right now because i have tried PM moderators (including rollitup himself) I have made several threads on the matter, and still no response, the only person who has said anything was yourlocal420, who just said he would talk to someone about it. still now response. I am boycotting rollitup until someone does something about this, no this will hardly affect anyone and I know that, but it is a personal stance against a site that does not seem to care about its users, in recent months its come to my attention that rollitup has been more about making advertising dollars and nazi-ruling thier users than what the site started as, a small knit community for growers and the like. It is because of all these reasons that i myself, will cease to use rollitup, and i urge you, the other users of rollitup to do the same. Really think about it, how well has the staff on this site treated you, my best guess is 9/10 the answer will be not very well.

Thanks for everything in the beginning guys, but you really have let me down, and as i can see a few others as well, because well this type of thread seems to be made almost daily. If anyone would like to get back to me about my status on your IRC network i would be glad to reconsider my stance. thank you.

edit:// after submitting my post, i can see that there are 4 ads in a single page view, thats absurd. do you really need to take up that much of my eye space to make a few dollars? that is all.

I hear this as well from other users and sites. Rollitup became my main resource and community sort of because it was first hit in google and had all the info I needed. I guess its a shame if this is really how the site is run, but I think I might continue to use it since it seems there are still a good amount of individual users who still help out and seem to be sincere. Lets hope your situation is resolved in one way or another, though...

PS. Get Firefox and then install the Adblock Plus extension (straightforward google search and you will have it in no time. I can't remember the last time I saw an advertisement on the internet...

sorry to hear about your betrayal
i also think RIU mods should be more communicative
not just on problem issues but to add a positive vibe
everybody needs to make a $, and I don't begrudge them their ads, they don't bother me a bit
actually, i don't pay any attention to them at all

i think the potential is there
this is becoming a huge industry and I don't understand why Fox Farms and the like, are not placing ads here on this huge forum

anyway, I hope you get back in a good place here at RIU

riu reminds me of my favorite bar in college (a long time ago). The couple that owned it and ran it weren't all that customer service oriented, and often they were downright abrasive. But the place had a vibe and the clientele was the draw. And best of all, the prices were right.
