Hi Hempy,
It sounds like you're saying when Steve was in the game, he was near the top of the field and everyone loved his gear and wanted to be his friend. But when he stopped selling seed, everyone has turned their back on him and now he was never anybody to begin with! If so, I would have to agree thats one angle to view the prism of truth.
When I look out at the field of play known as the cannabis forums, there are only a small handful of posters who I can identify as being true veterans who have stuck it out over the last decade plus. Whether or not you like these individuals has little to do with the fact guys like Rezdog and Subcool are legitimate "old timer" veterans of the forums and have went from average, everyday posters just you, me and every other ordinary joe reading this out there to individuals who are considered players in the industry today. But before Rezdog and Subcool were winning breeding awards and writing for High Times, guys like Breeder Steve were top of the heap.
There was once a time when there were not 45 seed bank nobody has ever heard of dominating the seed merchant web pages. There was a much smaller group of "unknown" seed banks, with the industry heavy weights such as The Flying Dutchmen, Sensi, Paradise Seeds, The Green House Seed Company etc. were much more in demand then what we currently see at Icmag.com for example which is a website I mention only because its perhaps the largest online cannabis community today. As I will get to later, this is not a coincidence.
Before Icmag.com was even a reality, there was Overgrow.com. This website at his height was overwhelmed with members posting consistently. Icmag today is still nowhere near as large as OG was at its height. OG was ultimately acquired, along with Cannabisworld.com, by a man named R.C. who ran Heavens Stairway Seed Bank. Heavens Stairway at one time, for quite awhile there, was THE place for everyone to go and get seed. Ultimately it was R.C. who is responsible for the current state of seed merchants as we know it, as R.C. ultimately realized he could make much more money by focusing his business model not on the big shots in the industry who demands a set, X amount of money per pack sold but by promoting, via Overgrow.com and Cannabisworld.com, the guys who were itching to get their names in the seed industry from the cannabis boards themselves.
These people could produce seed, sold at the same prices as the big shots in the industry, only their pecentage of the cut was far less compared to the Dutch heavy weight seed merchants and thus R.C. could pocket more money!
So enter the dawn of a new era in the cannabis community, R.C. is raided by the RCMP and Overgrow.com, cannabisworld, Heavens Stairway and god knows what else were all shut down. That left Gypsy, R.C.'s main competitor to move into the dominant position of seed merchant (seedsdirect then and now seedboutique) which, much like with Overgrow.com and Cannabisworld.com, is a business supported by propaganda advertised in various forms at Icmag.com (Gypsy's website).
Now we have thousands of posters, who have spent years at Icmag.com, the only forum of its kind that they know through their lack of experience believing posters who were once ordinary men are now cannabis gods based on propaganda waged simply to increase seed sales!
The best breeders in the world... never mind they havent left their mothers basement yet! lol
I literally cried when I read your post
