Gone from both now. Can we get the official reasoning/policy?

Ranger

I guess because that was what most of us wanted anyway.

There's still that adult dvd review link at the top.

Trevor

Top center of every single page on the site. Makes me always wary when on this forum at work or around kids.

Damn, we are never happy.

What about G!'s contractual link obligations?

UncleGramps

Yay! It's gone!

Ranger

The top chef seems to be taking orders. Might as well get one more in before the kitchen's closed.

Chad

No, bring it back dammit! That was the only remnant left that kept me from forgetting that it exists!


That's the understatement of the year.

Thanks

Now when I scroll a little too far, I come here.

Minor Threat

Yay! We're becoming family friendly thanks to President matta!!!!!

Two things have been accomplished under my rule so far:

1. The elections were permanently ended
2. All links to AdultTalk were removed

Next I'm going for Poland.

G!'s been on vacation this week but I suspect he'll have something to say directly to IB any time now (of course, the conversation might be through a second party involving legalese). Most of the links to Xcritic are still up, both above and on the reviews page, so it's not like IB is completely reneging on their contract but the idea of the slippery slope has more than a few connotations here.

Yep, I'm sure Geoff's team of highly skilled ninja lawyers are surrounding the place as we speak.

Has "G!" ever authorized you to speak for him? It seems about every post of yours (while hilarious) has something to do with you telling us what "G!" thinks about this or that.

I'm sure if "G!" has some issue with the removal, he'll contact the right people. Meanwhile, H!, carry on with your veiled threats of pursuing legal action.

Ranger

Well, I don't know. The thing with CircuitCity and Speedy seem to have blown over and Speedy's still posting ads.

Houstondon

I don't speak for him, and I have clearly stated that on numerous occasions, but I maintain the right to speak up about topics such as this. As one of the few people that is actively involved as a contributor to both websites, it's fair to say that I get information from both sides. If some of you don't like that, by all means set my account on ignore, but you don't exactly see a rash of IB executives posting here any more than you did G! regarding advertising campaigns or complaints. I know this might go over your head but I didn't tell you what he thinks or what action he will take; only what I suspect he'll do if his contract is broken (as he has in the past without fanfare, piling up more victories than losses).

Contrary to the premature celebrating by some, most of the adult links to Xcritic remain on DVD Talk, rather conspicuously at that, and given the extensive discussions recently about toning down the NSFW material, it seems highly likely that if IB could legally do so, they'd have removed every last link to the porn website (as some of you have repeatedly begged for).

PS: They're a team of highly skilled pirate lawyers, not ninja lawyers... sheesh!

mbs

Putting you on ignore would be missing out on all of the pure gold comedy. And does anyone from IB ever post here? I don't think they care much what happens here, as long as they can put up some ads and whatnot.

I lol'd.

Really pathetic how a small number of vocal members can force a change like this. Way to support the guy who spent 9 years making this place what it is.
