Broke-n-Toke Club

I'll take a crack at this one, but there is only Fearless Leader Degenerative Disk

Do we get a B&T#? Pick a number, have it tatooed on your butt, take a picture and use it for your avi :hubba:

Is there a beat in? I tried to join the Crips last week and they wanted to beat me in. I said no thanks. We have 3 committees you can join: Vice, Persuasion (aka Kneecapping) and Racketeering.

Can I make a t-shirt or is this an underground club? Was that you I saw at peopleofwalmart.com?

How do we identify other members on the street? Is there a secret handshake? I edited the first post in the thread to include the member list. I'll try to keep it current but I'm not promising anything :hubba:. This is why I never volunteer for stuff

Monthly dues? In a Broke-n-Toke Club By the way, you're 2 months behind on your dues

Will this help me pick up chicks? Try a mullet haircut, chicks really dig them

As Mind Control Safety Officer, please allow me to take this opportunity to remind all members of the importance of wearing your tinfoil hat when posting in the club thread.

Thanks for the quick reply. I noticed I am not on the member list. Just like Sams Club I was told all I had to do was join, yet they keep escorting me off the property when I show up.

You have to go to User CP and look for Group Memberships on the left. Click on B-n-T, put 20 quarters in the slot and apply

Wow. Look what i found. hehe. everyone forget about this group?

 

[dman1234]

LOL

Pre DD's explsion.

 

[cubby]

LOL

Pre DD's explsion.

Not to be picky, but......nothing was pre-DD's explosion. He started exploding as soon as he arrived and continued exploding right up till he was given the boot.
This "club" just needs someone who is dedicated to make it work. I may be wrong (believe it or not it's happened before, or so I've been told..LOL) but the oversight of this club went from DD to ART to DD to Art to Boston Baked Bean.....and in her absence has basicaly just fallen of the radar.
This could be a fun and informative area if someone was willing to take over and keep on top of things. I was among the handfull of folks at the begining of the B and T but when DD started making proclamations from on high I just walked away (as did many).
In my opinion, since the recent meltdown of the site, this area could rise like a pheonix, it all depends on the amount of interest.

 

[Jericho]

I would love to help run the B&T, im on MP about 12 hours a day anyways hehe.

I think anyone who is interested should put there names up and then the power above can decide who is worthy.

I was also one of the 1st in the club, Dipped out a little while DD was on his rampage. But this group started with such promise and then it went downhill with DD.

 

[ArtVandolay]

I thought we lost this thread, good find, cubby!

I always figured the club would largely run itself, rather than being actively "policed" with half the posts questioning whether it met the guidelines. That's where DD and I had issues.

Other than that, doing the permissions for people wanting to join and updating the member list occasionally was all i was doing, besides commenting on the great setups posted here!

I did want it to be stickied in the indoor forum so we could easily point people to it.

I'd like to see it continued - we had some great setups posted here!

 

[Jericho]

we will just have to pester Hick to put it up as a sticky hehe. Its a great thread, just hard to find for a newbie. It doesn't need to run as such. it needs someone to be able to great the newbies and point them in the right direction or sway them to post pics of there broke grows to help others.

Apart from that its up to all the members to keep it running by popping in and helping out. After all its a group discussion not a seminar.

 

[slowmo77]

i should fit right in here.

 

[Jericho]

Well then Pm art and ask him to sign you up. When i start my grow im going to be making a CFL veg shade on the cheap so will see what i come up with and post it up here. I was thinking of an old Drawer upside own, Put some sockets along the inside walls of it and paint it white and hang it upside down.

Cheap and easy to set up. Will try get some pics up when i get the chance to put it together.

 

[SPEARCHUCKER]

I was pretty much avoiding the thread cause of stuff mentioned. Didnt seem to want to stay on topic and be helpful when I checked in on it at first.

Jericho would be a good one to help. Hes got good board common sense and etiquette. Better than mine anyway :laugh:

 

[slowmo77]

the first reflector i made was out of a thin peice of partical board painted white with socket hole cut into it. like 28 of them by the time i was done adding CFL's.

at one time there was a link to some 150watt hps a bunch of us bought for like 25 dollars or something. i think they stopped sellin them though im not sure

 

[ArtVandolay]

OK, here we go! I just admitted bags and slowmo77 :hubba:

 

[cubby]

I agree with the rest of you, this broke and toke club should continue on. Speaking just for myself, I've always found the idea of invention thru necessity to be much more impressive than high tech, high dollar set ups (though, they too, can be awe inspiring).
I think the club started going downhill when DD insisted on a inflexible budget cap. Logic should, IMO, guide the club. If you have 50 1000 watt bulbs and a filter the size of a semi trailer, you may end up broke, but totaly missed point of the club.
Maybe once the full site (MarP) is up to snuff we should actively look to get this stickied as Art and others have said, as well as have someone volunteer to collect names and numbers for membership. As far as the actual "running" of the Broke and Toke club, again IMO, should be a concerted effort among the members of the club, so to avoid the whole ME, ME, ME, senario that caused the mass exodus the first time around.


(EDIT) While I was writting this Art posted that he had lassoed two new members, so it looks like Art has volunteered/been drafted to take care of membership requests. Thanks alot Art, you're a mench !!!!

 

[ArtVandolay]

Glad to have you back to the thread, cubby. I was just PMing with Jericho - no one else can edit my first post with the member list except me anyway, not that I mind doing it. And Hick can change who the leaders of the group are, the site is just reset to the time that BBB and I were admitting folks. When I looked this afternoon at the pending requests, there were 2! :w00t:

You and I were always on the same page regarding the problems here

 

[FA$TCA$H]

ART and BBB, did a great job. like y'all said above, it 'should run by its self'. some one to ride herd...let all of us take it where it should be. i love seein all the ingenuity put forth.

 

[slowmo77]

glad to be a part of the part of the group. i hope to share some of my growing broke stuff here. lol

 

[HippyInEngland]

I have always admired Cubby for his replies in whatever thread he posts in.

No nonsence logic, we are very similar.

I personally think this thread is well worth saving, ok a lot was lost, but on another note a lot more can be gained.

Not everyone has spare $$/££

Make it cheap and make it work is good in my eyes

I am not a member of this group and do not wish to join it, but there is something I need to say.

Do not look at Art as someone to continually PM or aim comments to, he with the aid of several past members got this thread up and running, he is not someone to aim comments to, so do not pressurise him.

Art is a guide and liason.

His time here is fun as is all ours, he shouldnt see it as a duty.

eace:

 

[prefersativa]

Art,
I was in almost from the day I found this site the first time. While my set-up has gotten a little over the dollar limit lately, I'd like to re-join.
