I'll address some inquiries and then give you all an accurate account of where I am coming from and where I want to go with Planet Ganja.
Godaddy is being used only to park the domain name. Their servers then point the name at my server.
I cant see investing in a pay as you go server, until the NEED arises.
I have several computers and have enough bandwidth to service a community forums site.
I have three ads total on the site I believe, One for Kaylyx.com and two google ads. I threw them in because the accounts already exist from another site, which I do use strictly for ad revenue, and should get back to developing soon, due to the close completion of PlanetGanja.

When I first met Gadabout his name was Uber, on OG. He was running a thread, promising 50 or 100 BC bigbud seeds to the winner, who would elaborate on a given SURVIVOR THEMED scenario.
I won
But low and behold no seeds were ever delivered. The joke was on the contest entrants.
I was growing alot of bud in a tub as some of you may have read at .NET and utilized OG as my homebase for info and support, but most of all... While I was waiting out the Veg and Flower stages and grew weary only posting in the grow forums, I slipped into the sharktank for a dip.

I was like a fat kid in a cake shop. The Tank back then was politically slanted with a few flame wars from the grow forums thrown in. The mood was tense at all times, and if you said anything unsubstatiated, you were called down and became the victim of a feeding frenzy.

POM was untouchable in those days, as his intellectual wit was matched by few, King Prawn trolled the tank as well with superior writing skills, and roller24 was trolling daily for fresh meat. I particularly liked the taste of DankDuck.
Saltwatergirl, Topaztic, and many friends were made there, along with numerous foes.
Then one cold winter's eve, while Shabang was on Holiday (every other month) the tank forum was locked due to numerous complaints by the more serious(sensitive) growers. Days later the tank got flushed.
What was I going to do? I wasn't about to troll members of the Texas Resin Company in the grow threads, as moderation was heavy due to the tank closure. So I did exactly what smokebreaks did and modded a phpbb into sharkstank.com hoping to capture the same atmosphere of free speech as the forum at OG. PureEvil(phunk) was my first member there, and my first member at every other tank and site that Ive opened, including .NET. He has a special place in my heart. His most memorable post was right after I told him that the only moderation that would be done, would to keep a members anonymity and nothing else. So he and Killer Kricket posted several topics with hundreds and I mean hundreds of smilies for page after page after page. It was obnoxious but funny as hell.
The site peaked after Ethical Grower showed up claiming to have some OG information he was about to out to the public using the Tank as his forum. GOD(a very active member) apparently got the info in a PM and the ruckus built up for what seemed like a month. I finally realized that Ethical G was no other than Uber, up to his old pranks. The gig was up, but by now, the mistrust of the tank led to a rapid decline in member activity, and it began to fade. In the mean time Whitehat joined and informed me of a small security issue with the site and helped me fix it before it became compromised.
His OG handle was x3n0 and he had saavy cpu skills. Prawny gave the rest of the story of MGG and PG in his aforementioned post.
As for the past couple of years, I havent been growing, so my posting frequency has declined immensely. I hit rock bottom hard in my last business venture (restaurant) and was totally absorbed in that debacle while PG was growing to a site that would rival it's mother, OG. I still browsed the site regularly, and posted as Satanclaws at xmas time. Where is Hellboy anyway?
My X moved south with my two youngest children, so I finally threw in the towlie on my shop, and moved down here as well.
Prior to .COM's demise, I began doing some cpu stuff to generate some extra income as my 10$/hr janitorial position is not even close to what I am accustomed to earning and barely enough to make ends meet. Im at the cpu a few hours each day, so I decided to reopen the planet with one goal in mind.
To stay online for as long as I was capable of staying on line, and then passing the site to someone else to keep alive should I become unable to do so. Two Great sites were yanked out from under the feet of a DEDICATED membership, and SO much grow knowledge disappeared in an instant.
Im a hardcore OGer and the idea of overgrowing the world is still the best reason to make sure that some harbor for veteren OGs and PGs and new growers can call home. If I had known that smokebreaks had opened myplanetganja.com, I would have balked, but It wasnt until I was about to go live, that prawn informed me of a potential opportunity to rebuild with smokebreaks. I'm still mulling the idea over, and Im pretty sure my software has the ability to migrate this site into it's forum, or anything else you want it to do. It's a great piece of module software, with endless features.

So before I commit to any merger, I would like to see what .COM is going to do. If Uber gets his shit together and brings back the site with db in tact, then we have served our purpose well by providing harbor to abandoned members, and can return to our home planet. OR we could join together and pay back Uber for burning me on those bigbud beans
Let's just see how the breeze blows for now.

That's my story and Im sticking to it.
