Imagine if they had such such a place. A place for a group of people with things in common to get together and talk....

Oh yeah they do, and look a group for girls... cannagirls

omg i had no idea... don't you have to be an elite member to be part of 'groups' tho?
EDIT: no. i just joined.
oh, weird, i just took a look, there are 37 members, 24 of whom are 'strangers'.... including the group starter.... who hasn't posted since '09.....

**HEY GIRLS**
i think that now we've found this (big thank yous to cph! let's pucker up those rep lips girls!) i think we need to start making more use of it, n'est-ce pas, mes belles dames?

you could just start a new one also mello.

mello is not computer-literate. or forum-literate for that matter.
i will have to look into this 'group' phenomenon you all speak of

*twirling hair*... i'm just a girl, after all... tee hee... (i know i know... )

well, i am somewhat satiated.
but i still want a Ladies subforum. i got all excited when i saw the one in the elite section and that alone almost convinced me to pay up. (<-but i guess that option is defunct now anyway?) tbh the presence of that (even unaccessible) forum on the riu front page had a lot to do with my decision to stick around here and check it out, and although i've gleaned some great information and met some really cool people, i gotta admit i wish that button worked.

it seems like a lot of the girls in the group signed up, looked around, and then left (most of them haven't posted since 09).
maybe riu would be less of a sausage party if the ladies room was more front and center.

Anything for the Ladies. Keep em happy I say. Best thing about RIU is we got common sense ladies around.

RIU is dude heavy with the associated testosterone baggage that comes along with it. I can understand making some real-estate available for the ladies. Problem is hope you don't disappear too long cause it sucks to be hanging around with guys all the time.

spoken like a good man.

it's ok, if we all hung out in there ALL THE TIME it would quickly devolve from the "ladies lounge" to the "catfight club" (especially around the fool moon.... *awooooo*)

and then kitty, ever the entreprenesse, would sell you boys tickets lol.

"You have given out too much Reputation in the last 24 hours, try again later."

will try to remember to repslut you lataaaah....

No offence here but the fact that you have not got your girls only group yet and the fact that "cannagirls" has well...been forgotten possibly means there is no real demand for it?.......

The group was created more than 2 years ago... since then, several states have allowed MMJ and we have a lot more women on the board... I would agree however that more women need to open up and post approval on here, cause now it is mostly guys posting...

And wth is SP?

What is SP?

I don't believe that it should matter if you are a girl or a guy on here, afterall the forum is for cannabis growing and should not differentiate between the sexes. Also RIU means different things to different people, for some it means MMJ but not for all.

i think there's a big difference between having a 'group' that you have to navigate through umpteen other groups to find (some girls just might not be comfortable joining a group they haven't been invited to cuz sometimes that the way it works on forums too), and having, say, a subforum in the cafe section for instance. (i've been here for a couple months, had no idea what 'groups' were or how it worked or whatever until yesterday, because tbh i don't really have time to explore the peripheral features of riu.... i'm busy. i got girls.)

in my time here i never even knew that that group existed (mostly because there was that whole "if cph hadn't pointed it out to me i probably wouldn't have gone looking for it" factor). BUT one of the first things i did do was click on the ladies only button and find that the elite blahblahblah's been disabled. i think it would get used a lot more if it was easier to find, like on the front page.

also: i think women bring a different approach/view/philosophy/ideology to growing than men do. i think it'd be kind of ridiculous not to think so, and, speaking from experience, we bring a different perspective to parenting, why wouldn't that apply to the parenting of plants?
that said, hydro growers and soil growers also bring differing approaches/philosophies to their grows, and they deserve their own subforums, but we -- a demographic that comes with just as distinct a set of values, if not more -- don't?

you're a dude, right? you get to grow up to be 'mr. ganja', in the context of riu. how would you feel if you knew you were going to get to grow up to be 'mrs. ganja?' what else would *you do to promote the visibility of your minority if you'd already seen threads where members of it ask to have their rank changed to 'ms. ganja' and be ignored?

i am mr ganja and i do love women.

i won't mind being mr. ganja when it happens, but i think i'm gonna have to go buy a strap-on for when i'm at the 'puter....

and it's for a long time, right? like 400 posts or something?
EDIT: i have to be a drag king for **2500** posts?!?! riu better be paying for my fake sideburns....

i have been a bad kitty......
"
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to rzza again."

translation: sloot!

so who told ya 2500?

the 'user ranking' sticky of the support section says you're mr. ganja from 2500 to 5000 posts.... which, i'm not *that stoned, right? lol

ugh, i cannot believe i am gonna be a super stoner for 5000 posts. i think that should come before mr ganja. i like mr ganja. gotta slow down on the posts

i know right?
in other news, i was really enjoying being a glorious beacon of light..... but now they all know my name... *paranoid glances*
