A new start...

means we're starting all over, a nice clean break with the filthy past.

Example: no signature pics. No JDC. No absurd postcounts.

And, IF GOD FORBID NOT TOO MUCH TO BE ASKED, no anal rape talk, no anal rape sigs, no fucking disgusting avatars and just plan normal behaviour.

Yes, I'm talking to you, CBKA.

I feel like bumping this to the top of the heap. ^_^

I pretty much agree with everything Mitch said.

Context and correct place are things I want to mention though.
I like talking about absurd, depraved sexual material, but I wouldn't bring this crap up during every conversation. It gets tiresome and boring and eventually stupid. Throwing in the odd comment during polite conversation can be hilarious, if you can master your timing and actually have a feel for the mood of your audience. If you can do this well, then randomly bringing obscene absurdities into an otherwise relaxed conversation can, of course, be hilarious. But it's all about timing, context and mood of others.
Rape, anal penetration and all that stuff that makes us giggle is funny in context and this is why I largely agree with what Mitch said. Correct context does not mean 80% of every single forum!

I wouldn't want to see all lewd comments removed from the PHIYST forum. It would be unnatural and conversation would become a little wooden. But I think PHIYST and pretty much every forum on the board should be treated like a public area.

Keep 80% of stuff you wouldn't say in front of your parents in Penthouse, or better still just a small number of threads there and use better judgement on how sparringly the lewd stuff pops up elsewhere. Don't overindulge. Dick jokes in context.

I don't have a problem in dropping a JDC sig. I quite liked mine. I liked the effort that Meek put in and the design, but I've got no problem in dropping it and relegating most of my dick jokes to Penthouse.

May be letting other posts get ahead to build false sense of security before he lets loose the full tidal wave wrath of Stocky verbosity.
I called it last night. Long Live Lord Stockwell. ^_^

(and it was a lovely post he made)

I whole heartedly agree, this is what I wanted for the last place too

Yea yea, but I mean the sigs. While they're fun, I don't particularely liked to show the old place to other people due to those sigs.

Umm, does my anal sex sig count?

Otherwise I agree completely. We are all getting older (except Ed), and eventually that stuff should just stop.

I have to laugh about your sig, which is a jokingly quote. Unlike the one CBKA is sporting.

Phew, I quite like mine.

CBKA's avatar makes me ill.

I've AdBlocked it, hideous thing. But than, that's on my PC, any other computer won't have that solution. So yeah, I say it has to go. But in the same vein I say D's 'MMA'ing' women have to go.

I kind of agree.

I`d like the board to, at least, visually be alright to look at school and work without worrying about the avatars.

Exactly. Whenever I show it to someone or when I'm not at home, I'd like it to look clean. The minute people start reading is a different matter, but let's not get into that. :D

Sad to see the JDC sigs go but I don't have a problem dropping them. Other than that, I agree with the general sentiment around here. Time to grow up (a little).

I'm in line as well. Like it's been said, makes me much more comfortable to pull the site up when I'm not sitting in my home, or even on my own laptop because now it won't LOOK strictly unfriendly or unsafe in certain places.

Wow...this place is starting to suck. Everyone's going so mainstream. It might be time to fade out and let you all turn this place into Disney World.

How about some music to set the mood?

*turns on Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers*

:censored:

No wonder meek? doesn't want to be here. Talk about taking a dump on self-expression.

you're just upset because you think your ability to discuss your mangled member will be severly limited.


...It won't be limited, will it? I always like laughing at those posts...

I think we just want cleaner pictures so we can actually view this place at work and school without getting it banned.

I don't think limiting your own quota of dick jokes per sentence is going to limit an individuals range of expression.

Too little dick jokes is equally poor, since this would hardly be reflective of normal conversation, but too much is ridiculous - and we are more the later.

You could argue, "maybe you shouldn't be worried what other people think at work", but maybe we shouldn't think that just because we like full range of expression that other people should just accept this. Plus seriously, just because we can throw anal rape jibes at each other every second, doesn't mean we should.

I'm confused, is meek busy or is he seriously not wanting to be here? I figured he might have a problem with it cuz Adam built it but I didn't think he'd hold out for long, you know? Especially since he just went to NYC and met so many BXers.
