What is this "adapt" you speak of?

I thought it was the American way to bitch and moan until you get someone to acquiesce to YOUR way of thinking??

The Internet is a big place, and there are probably other sites out there that discuss DVDs (or whatever) and also better reflect your personal sense of morality.

I'm in the same boat. I still surf at work as that's 90% of the time I'm sitting at a computer and like to take brief breaks to check the forum to keep up on DVD, Music, Sports, Video Game etc. news.

I accept Geoff's stance and just try to scroll past the adds fast, and learned to make sure to click on the page before using the scroll wheel so I don't accidentally have the drop down still highlighted and end up scrolling to the adult forum and unexpectedly have tits on my monitor. :D

It's a minor hassle, but the content in the forums here is second to none and I adapted as best I can to avoid having objectionable content come up on my screen while at work.

I don't know what I'm offended by more. The amount of questionable dvd covers that come up on those ads or the amount of shitty movies that come up on those ads. :lol:

I entered the words "christian talk forum" into Google in hopes of finding a suggestion for a suitable and safe place for hi mom to hang out.
Check out the last hit on page 1 of the results. -eek-

Nothings safe :lol:

Why do you think that might be? Might it be that you're being a whiner and you're getting responses at the intellectual level your post demands?

You're offended by porn. Fine. Go somewhere where there isn't any. How is this a difficult problem?

Adapt to the world around you. Don't expect it to adapt to you.

And like 13 years old...

Don't encourage this "ban the porn on the front". It causes mass stupidity to young kids.

LAFAVE WOULD AGREE!

This can be at work on break, or at home with my kid in the room when I see a thread title I am interested in, and don't want porno DVD banner ads blaring across the page when it loads. For example, the fully clothed Heidi Klum thread is in other, but I could see someone putting it in Adult, as many fully-clothed celeb threads end there. At work I often turn off images to begin with.


But I'm not saying I want it changed. I just adapt my behavior.



But a "new posts except select forums" choice would be good. ;) I would exclude Adult and Exchange most times. The "New posts" search is just so tempting and easy to use there at the top of each page.

I use the New Posts all the time too. But, I usually forget to check which forum it's in before clicking.

I am tired of subtle pornography in thread titles:

I don't know either. But I do know that I'm strangely aroused by that Ursula Andress pic. :drool: :D

I'm offended by blatant rabbit abuse. :mad:

Poor bunny. Held up to ridicule and shame being made to wear pancakes on his little bunny head.

So, now that YOU have changed your morals, you expect us to all change ours?

Trying to troll YOU? Some might argue that your original comment was trolling US.

The adult section is very easy to avoid. You still have to choose to go there. Just because you don't like it, that doesn't mean it shouldn't exist.

You've been here almost 9 months. Your last adult forum post was a bit over 3 weeks ago. Sounds like someone was either busted by mom or found religion in the previous fortnight.

Personally, I do not want to live in a Disney film. Life is R-rated. If you can't handle a little reality, go hide in the sand.
