It got busted hard. There are a few overgrow people's still left around here but not nearly as many as you would expect. I think it left a number of the old heads shaken up and sketchy about everything we have all put up on the net over the years.

YEAH OVERGROW was the shit,. most people went to ic mag. check that site out if you like overgrow.

I like riu cuz you feel at home here. I feel lost at Ic mag. So many people.

They are advanced growers over there though. Not a million questions everyday about something a newb would ask ya know.

Alot more but thats why the U.S. wants to extradite Emery. Or at least thats the legal reason they use, they want him for a million reasons.

Of course the gov dosnt want people to have great sights about growing marijuana. Think about the fact that we are a growing community and if it get big enough and strong enough it’s hard to stop… I do know that all things need to come to an end, but people should not be scared. That’s the problem with our country in my opinion is the fact that we are scared of what our government will do to us. I’m not saying that I’m not ether, but still get a little crazy sometimes.

really ? like what ? why would they wanna extradite him ?
Because they use the typical LEO logic.. sell a million seeds at $3,000 + per plant.. He was on the top 10 drug wanted list... they want to lock him up for life.. he goes to court in Feb...

yeah - OG was my home... I read about everything on that site... i studied it for a few years until one day - it straight up disappeared... for days and days, until anybody knew what happened... then 100,000 people flooded to all of the other cannabis forums trying to figure out wtf was up...

they sorta did sell seeds though, from heavens stairway, which was a seed company that was part of the same operation...

I love this part on Wikipedia:

"Overgrow.com, the largest cannabis grow site in the world at the time of its demise, was acquired by Baghdadlian in 2002. Overgrow.com was founded in 1999 and fought for the legalization of cannabis by teaching people how to grow their own marijuana. The site was equipped with a unique feature known as the "StrainGuide", which allowed users to search for their favorite type of cannabis by genetic lineage. Having been featured in Maxim and High Times magazines, their forums were a popular place for members a place to chat and socialize, and at its peak had 6,016,336 posts from more than 133,700 registered members."

But who is Baghdadlian? And did anyone else read LEET (1337) up there? Glad to be one of the 133,700!
