Is Bluelight dying ?

EADD reminds me of a local electronic music board we had back about turn of the century. Everyone knew everyone fairly quickly, there was a bit of drama bit not much, and we'd often meet up at different shows.

That board died after changing hands. There were no longer any all ages shows or good drugs to fuel it. That, and economically Halifax is a ghost town for young people.

Been reading here for almost as long (love your guys' humour/wit <3), thought nevery created an account until, well, whenever I made this one. Traffic's definitely down, but could be turned around.

There are too many non drug related threads in EADD these days, 30 out of 40 on the first page as I write this. It has the effect of making EADD into a shite form of social media. It wasn't like this years ago.

I often wondered about this as the section is described as 'Drug Discussion' but I feel that if it wasn't for the social threads that tick over during the week the place would be pretty stagnant waiting for the weekends when people are normally wasted.

I know that I post pretty much all non drug related posts (eating, reading, listening to, watching, random, drinking) but that in itself generates conversation and provides a place where people can chat when needed (sometimes just being able to fit in somewhere non druggy and chat can be what people need).

Now that we have a site social I can easily migrate to that section if the social threads are seen as a detriment to this section.
 
I've only discovered Bluelight this year and I feel like I've being missing out as I find the forum informative and say cultured. A lot of diverse opinions, subjects and literally everything I need to know about substance and substance abuse which is a huge positive. I had being aware of pill report.net since around 2014.

I hope this site never bites the dust and I believe more people out there should definetely get to use it. Even mates of mine would not have heard about it or use accounts say and many of them think their definition of drug knowledge and know how:). Nice to see such a diversity of people across the world where we can be brought together and discuss our usage, history and experience. Would like to be more social but dont would people appreciate or understand when being a joke or whatever.

Erowid is such a helpful and neat site as well.
Take care all you Drug Fiends:)
 
pillreports.net is a great site (shame less plug) , it is in desperate need of some updates to make it a more streamlined site but it's still a useful goto site.

Ecstasydata, wedinos, safeparty, ecstasypilltest are all worth checking out also
 
I'm now sure how you quantify a resource like Bluelight dying. Ive been a member since 09, and posted frequently then as was desperate to get off a 24/7 gbl habit. When I found the solution (baclofen or pregabalin), I was able to resume life for a while, but because of PTSD, dropped in to alcoholism for 6 years. As Id been through that particular mill before, I know the solution, and start antabuse next week (long story, but I live with an alcoholic, so its always there...anyways) I do read a lot of what is written, about the particular problem I'm having at that time, and find most of the answers I need, without adding to huge megathreads, when people have gone through the same stuff i have, and answered all my questions. Anyway, ive made my first post in quite a while, about pink hand grenades, and the effect of ssri on mdma.

But I sometimes visit, to catch up on whats going on. I hope it never dies, and will make a donation shortly (lost job, house, family etc) as I now have some limited funds. But I know I should post more, especially on HR, and my experiences with it. I have tried reddit, but find it cumbersome to read, and threads abruptly dying. It is useful of course, and Im and old guy, but up to speed with the latest media. Reddit, just too much of an amateurish layout, for me to deal with. I like order in threads (!), in that they can be read clearly. Reddit of course, covers every topic in the universe, but damn, get that board into something resembling a resource from the 21st century. It reads like an early net posting board. Gave it a shot for a couple of months, but found very few replies to what I posted. As for reading through established threads.....for it, may as well be written in Aramaic on a stone tablet.

Just my 2cents

stay well, SnrG

SnrG.
 
Checked it just now for Pink Hand Grenade mdma pills. One useless report, as the poster had dropped 200mg of mdma, before popping a grenade. Maybe they're too new, but I liked the layout. Reminded me of Erowid, which does seem to be in decline.
 
SHM!!! You bloody vicious animal!! However you definitely are not a paedo (that I know of) you are a most gracious kind and loving chap ....................hence ignore the negativity trooooooooooooooly!!<3

2 quick points. Thanks to the lovely couple M'n'M and B9 for just existing. And you may just get the earliest xmas card you've ever gotten. I have your address. Promise.

Second, agree (who couldn't) that reddit has the shittest, unreadable layout of all time. God knows how Felix swears by it.

Fuck it, 3. Get me out of here, I'm not a celebrity.

Not sure why this has popped up, but I have just been alerted to it. The answer to your question is:

You need to install the "Reddit Enhancement Suite" addon to your browser (which probably only takes two clicks), and configure it to your liking. It transforms the whole experience. It also almost goes without saying that Reddit is a fucking wasteland of shit unless you actually create an account and immediately unsubscribe from the defaults, and subscribe to the ones you want.

And I see M'n'M has appeared - how's tricks, madam? :D

But you are a bit of a BL celebrity SHM =D:p

Hello to Mrs MinM <3 I've had a username change but you'll both know me as Mrs Felix ;) B9 was the person I asked "should I meet this guy, is he a serial killer?" lol...apparently not as we've been together now for 8 years now, married 6!

It's lovely to see you about these parts, you and the man are missed. Come back both of you!



Is BL dying? Nope, but, hopefully it takes on a better quality role in harm reduction....

Quite a few reports on the Pink Grenades on the site. Strange I cannot see the report you mention where they drop the MDMA first as normally they are removed.

We all are going to suffer the worst of the idiots run the mob now... To many dip witted half wits think they have the the cure for everything from not pissing on toilet all they way to being the holy savour of this forum that has become part of the great historical artifact
 
^ eh?
I was just posting in another thread about why i think bluelight is as valuable a harm reduction (and general drug) resource as it ever was; we have reports from around the globe about a range of really obscure novel psychoactives - and discussion of those reports from all types of people, from consciousness-alteration enthusiasts (that's a euphemism for "psychonauts", "tripped out heads" or "drug pigs") as well as people with backgrounds in medicine, chemistry, pharmacology - all kinds of fields.

Just because the social side of bluelight is quieter than it was...the site is still going strong and is highly relevant to a lot of people, for a variety of reasons.

In the age of mass social media proliferation, it's inevitable that the social side of BL is quieter than it once was.
But this is not to say that our social forums don't serve their purpose or fulfill the needs of people who benefit from being able to talk to likeminded people who don't judge them for using drugs or whatever.

Also, the legislative changes imposed by the tory government in britain had the desired stifling effect on the RC/NPS market in Britain, so a corresponding decline in the traffic of UK - it's a damn shame, but not necessarily a sign bluelight is dying.

Frankly, even a significant drop in traffic is not a sign of terminal decline; bigger is not always better (case in point: facebook) - and bluelight seems to be attracting increasing amounts of interest from the world of academia; mentions in scholarly publications have become something of a regular thing recently, as well as frequent studies that focus upon, or draw from, bluelight's members.

Not dying; maybe changing.

Might not be to everyone's liking - one of the things i love about EADD in particular is the witty back-and-forth that betrays both a predominantly British sense of humour that is generally drug-oriented and often risqué.
The sort of online banter that is just not the same in formats that have no illusion whatsoever of anonymity.

It's a lot of fun and i hope EADD continues to pick up.
Especially because being exposed to contemporary american politics on here is damaging my faith in humanity.
Christ.

Knowing something of the creative versatility (or at least massive size) of the UK drug market, i wouldn't be surprised if some new drug topic of major interest to a lot of people brings a whole bunch of new people to BL (as mephedrone and the heroin drought of a few years back did), and that they may stick around and brighten the place up a bit.
I really hope so, because it is kinda depressing how much people enjoy love saying "forum's gone to shit" (23 pages worth in ~3 months) - and it would be cool if folks were less reluctant to post when it's quiet.
Because i know you fuckers are out there <3

I have nothing to comparison to. The only forum I've ever used was for mmorpg game for raiding. (World of Warcraft)

I will say this, I'm brand new within the last few weeks and everyone has been more than helpful and friendly, full of insight and straight forward advice.

And it definitely seems like there are ppl interested in the social aspect side.
