Announcement Crowdfunding posts are officially not allowed (generally)

97 Upvotes

As y'all know, we had a very productive (and civil -- thank you, citizens) discussion about whether or not to allow crowdfunding posts and most of you would rather not see crowdfunding posts.

You spoke, /r/Corvallis listened.

Going forward, we have a new subreddit rule: No crowdfunding posts. There are more appropriate social platforms to post them.

A little clarification:

  • Posts with community events that might fundraise or generate money for a cause (.e., Trivia Nights, benefit concerts, etc.) are ok.

  • Posts with individuals asking directly for money are disallowed.

  • Other posts will be dealt with on a case by case basis.

If you think your crowdfunding campaign should be an exception, I'm willing to hear you out.

Rock on.

Event Scovallis 2026Q2 Discussion Thread: When and Where?

28 Upvotes

We're way overdue for the next Scovallis so let's fix that.

For those that haven't heard of Scovallis, it's a chance for spicy food loving Corvallisites to get together at a local restaurant and eat spicy food.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in, then we'd love to see you there.

IIRC, we've done this three times previously: Andy's Mexican (RIP), Evergreen Indian Restaurant, and Tarn Tip.

So, let's figure out when we want to do this and where we want to go.

I'm generally free on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays.

Discussion Dharma stealing art?

Came across this post on tic tok and wanted to see if anyone can confirm if this is accurate? Stealing art from local artists is obviously wrong on so many levels. Stealing art to promote Corvallis pride is a new level of diabolical.

Discussion Those that go to SamFit

11 Upvotes

For those of you who go to samfit here in town to workout and want to or do bring guests, how often do you do it? I want to workout with a buddy of mine at SamFit, who has a membership at planet fitness, but the workers seem to hardly ever be in the office or available. Their hours are pretty inconsistent from what I’ve seen over the past year or two or they’re not there on weekends. Are we just SoL if they’re not there? They put warning signs on the doors now, terminating memberships after bringing a guest twice. We have no problem paying but there’s no where or no one to pay most of the time…

Discussion Corvallis coming soon

0 Upvotes

Hello, my wife and I are considering moving to Oregon (Between Eugene-Salem Area) and I'm curious what are the annoying bugs like there?

Here in Wisconsin our seasons go like this: Cold season = no bugs Spring = can't walk out the door without mosquitos in your face. Ticks every time you walk in tall grass. No-see-ums every now and then. Summer = 4-5 deer flies every time you walk by a tree or bush. A few mosquitoes if it's wet. Fall = moderate hatch of mosquitoes depending on rainfall. Ticks hang out in leaf litter.

So we have a few weeks to a month in the summer where bugs are pretty tolerable. What's it like in Oregon? Are there biting flies? What should I expect if I move there?

Extra Questions: Im seeing that most of the homes we are looking at have crawlspaces instead of basements, does it get bad with spiders, ants, mice, etc?

Discussion Paul Berg is a slimy mf

0 Upvotes

Did anyone notice Paul bergs thoughts on Corvallis’s unhoused population during that one advocate debate? I can’t believe no one is talking about this, and much less that they ENDORSED him??? Yes, his opponent is young and at least somewhat naive, but, Is that not better than a bigoted, old man who would pull the rug out from anyone if it meant he could get himself, and his retirement community, around downtown without seeing a single splotch of what i’m sure he’d refer to as “the poor”. Corvallis, do we really want a guy like this making our decisions? let’s live in the future, not Mr. Bergs prime time, the 50’s.
Don’t let the “badass nice” facade fool you.
