Growing the Growery - Your Opinions Wanted!
    #812076 - 04/29/16 06:44 PM (8 years, 9 months ago)

Alright people, let's brainstorm :gethigh:.  The competition out there for cannabis related websites is fierce, but with cannabis having hit the mainstream, there's no reason that the Growery can't do better in attracting new members and being a better informational resource for the world.  With that in mind, let's hear your ideas about what we can do to help make that a reality.  I'm going to scrape together a brief survey here, but most importantly, please take a moment to post your thoughts in detail so we can get a better idea of what y'all think could work here.  What options/features do other cannabis websites provide that you would like to see here?  What can we do differently or better than other websites?  What are we doing poorly?  Where can we most improve and what do you think are good ways to go about it?

I want to see this place grow, and I want the community members to have a voice in how that happens, so speak up!

Also, to make this site seem more welcoming you need to ban po, stoneth, sham87, deadkdnys, draw, koop, that llama kid, magash, agmotes, pizzeria, poor boy, volcom, and geokkills.

Get rid of those guys and you will not only have a larger crowd, you will also have a shit ton of vendors.




LOL :smirk: ... Why bother to get rid of me, I've barely even been here! :tongue2: :doh:

I do hear ya on contest/promotions, and am going to work on figuring out a way to incentivise sponsors to hold more promotional giveaways here.  If any of you have a connection with vendors who might be willing to hand out a few seeds in exchange for an advertising banner here, to help get the ball rolling, please have them reach out to me or hook me up with their contact info so we can get them set up!  Email address in my profile.

The very first thing I would do is amalgamate the forums. At least 50% should be cut/combined. That alone will make the site appear to be more active. In cultivation for example, there is no reason to have the 3 sub-forums. Put them all in one and perhaps have an option to tag the thread as one of those categories.




This is an interesting idea.  I tend to agree that the three sub-forums in Cult are dilutive and relatively obscure.  Offering the ability to tag cult threads with Indoor Soil/Indoor Hydro/Outdoor, while keeping them consolidated in the same main forum display makes a whole lot of sense.  I also tend to feel that the Grow Room Design forum should probably be consolidated into the Cult forum.  Possibly even Doctor's Diagnosis being scrapped and rolled into the main Cult forum as well?

Nope. He's had a shitload of chances to reform his behavior and adhere to our requested guidelines, and has repeatedly failed to do so.

Quite a bit, for now, but as is the case with most of the projects we undertake, that commitment does have the propensity to ebb and flow!  Send me a PM if you'd like to discuss directly, or just post here.

Spread flyers about the site at clubs and crap when you go out [...] The problem is that we advertise as a growers site and not a smokers site. The Growery is not a growers site I hate to say cause if you are a experienced grower you're not gonna learn a ton here.




Interesting points. :strokebeard:

I do want to make an effort to build content so that we can more reliably consider ourselves at least an intro-grower site in addition to a smoker's lounge type of joint.  The flyers aren't a bad idea, easy enough to implement for sure.  Still working to get together some prize incentives for a Grow the Growery project, which if it goes well could become a regular thing (or something similar to it) that could be promoted on the flyers since most people love free stuff.
