If the worst happens...

Post by treetop »

and the ban comes in in Jan 2013 will this forum become members only as well?

Can I be in the 1st 2000?

No really. What is the plan? Closedown/mothball forums until the law changes? Carrying on as before? Modifying location?

or same as before the ban except very little activity?

i like this forum. Both the look of it and the community at large. Hope it can stay alive in some form no matter what happens.

I doubt it, unless we somehow had a secret ACD coffeeshop over there and didn't want to get busted! :twisted:

The most likely scenario, let's just hope it doesn't get to that stage!

Well let's hope it doesn't happen but I intend to keep the ACD and its forum going for as long as I'm capable. I think the traffic on the main site and the forum have gone down a bit just because of the threat of the Weedpass but I still get occasional offers to buy the URLs off me. Those wanting rid of me will be disappointed to hear that I'm not selling.

i doubt the pass is gonna hit amsterdam.... people here seem genuinely concerned.... as traffic seems to have dropped inside the shops... but after talking to HB (from voyagers) yesterday for a while... not sure if its gonna happen in amsterdam.

That's my hunch: Amsterdam will either avoid the pass or find some way to get around it. Then things will cool down and the it will open up again. Recall all the bad press and knee jerk reaction to ban mushrooms? Let's hope some type of intervention or compromise occurs before the implementation date.

I too do not think the weed pass will hit Amsterdam, that is why I have my hotel reservations made for Queens Day 2013 and are going to be there for 420 before going to Germany and Switzerland for a visit.

Prohibition is a ugly, expensive, dangerous beast to be unleashed on a people as free as the Dutch, I know they will stop the pass it wont work.

I too want this forum to survive, I have made some friends, and enjoy the banter of my kind of people
