Not that I'm a prude, but why are so many sexual topics being allowed on the Other Forum? Only a few months ago, these topics were closed citing the fact they would be more appropriate at AdultDVDTalk. Is that relationship with AdultDVDTalk severed or why is everything so much more liberal in Other nowadays? Personally I could live without these threads and think they would be more appropriate at AdultDVDTalk.

The relationship between DVD Talk and AdultDVDTalk continues to be a strong one, but the 2 communites are seperate. So in general we don't close a thread here and tell people to post it there, and visa versa.

We DO encourage people to go there if they want to discuss Adult DVDs, and many people do.

But the more mature topics in the Other forum aren't really covered under that, and it doesn't really make sense to tell people if they want to talk about sex or mature topics they have to do it at AdultDVDTalk...

On a side note we did do that big 'Earth Day Other Forum Cleanup' which did address many of the mature picture postings to the Other forum.

Actually, ADT has a "Sex Talk" forum for discussing the finer points of bedroom arts. If you want to clean the site up, it might be worthwhile chucking a link to them every so often, especially if you're not keen on the "edgier" discussions...

Frankly, I don't see the point in discussing sex on this site, the general attitude around the Other Forum is too damn immature, and potentiall serious and interesting discussions invariably devolve into strings of comments along the lines of "Eew, that is so gay! No b*tch is touching my ass!!!" and derogatory comments about other members' lack of sexual prowess Like trying to talk about sex with a bunch of snickering teenagers...

(Also, and I'm sure DesmondP will cream his pants over this one, ADT has a "Polls" forum. 'Nuff sed. )

Geoff, I can honestly recall when the mods were recommending people take "blue" discussion to ADT. If you don't recall it, maybe it was their own initiative. As for the naughty pictures, that's not what I was talking about. As far as I'm concerned, if a thread is called "WHat's the biggest pair of breasts you've ever touched" it's worse than a thread entitled "Hotties (mature)" because whilst the former can be avoided, the latter is very descriptive text which cannot be avoided. That would be for the folks who browse at work on their break.

I do not think i would find fault in asking people to be a little better in titles of threads. as long as the crackdown did not turn into another cleanup of what happens in threads.

sorry to disagree with theycallhimjim. I find that all discussions online has problems. some are good and some turn into teenager like posting. this is topics ranging from porn to politics. Immaturity is not as you seem to imply restricted to the more mature topics.

I tend to be immature no matter what topic i am discussing

Well guys, I try to do my best to censor titles that are 'blue'. In fact I have gotten my share of complaints for doing so. We encourage people to say what they choose, but to also remember that this is a site suitable for 'General' audiences. I've seen people pushing the envelope lately, and I'll do what I can to keep it in check.

i think everything is fine just as it is

we aren't children, we don't need too much censorship!

i don't think there's an excess of mature threads at all in the other forum

there's a good mixture of all kinds of stuff

just don't open what u don't want to read

Maybe the forum is updside-down in Australia? So the oldest posts are first and the latest posts are last?

Desmond, YOU are not a child, but many many people who come on here are.

Also, you wouldn't be 'fine' with the level of 'dirty' posts just because you are one of the prime purveyors of puerile material, now would you?

I think that the "sex" topics should be allowed to stay in the OTHER. The Sex Talk forum at ADT is to discuss "sex" not "big boobs" and "hottest chick" etc etc.

If a title is too blue, don't click it...

Agreed. The topic I was thinking of in particular was "Guys, is THAT area really so sensitive?" which would fit right in with the stuff at ADT. That thread was an actual discussion thread about one of the more "unusual" aspects of sex, unlike the typical "yay for boobies!" threads. But I doubt the admins at ADT would be happy if Geoff started directing people there so they could post pictures of chicks in bikinis.

hey if Steph will get near my ass I guess i need to start posting over there right now

DesmondP,,
As i saw it they were only saying to leave the titles a little friendlier on the younger crowd not the insides. I never would have a problem with that. It has always been the insides restrictions that i fought against

do you think that even the titles should be able to be more mature? just wanted to know if you could explain your thoughts on this some

thanks.

I'd like to see that.

BTW, ADT is for adults. I suspect that the majority of the scantily clad posts in the Other Forum come from non-adults.

AdultDVDTalk is separate from DVDTalk?

Re: DVDTalk and AdultDVDTalk

Nineteen year bump may be a record.

There is no relationship between DVD Talk and Adult DVD Talk. At one time there was an adult forum here. It was spun off as its own site, and I won't type its name here. The discussion here may be about either, I can't tell from context.

I almost never visited the adult subforum when it existed here, but we had a few months of good times indulging our fetishes at the spinoff site until it was shuttered.

I wrote one review for the adult site. It was amazingly difficult. Pants off to those who can keep the puns coming!
