These slippery slope deals with unintended consequences are a beatch aren't they? I've got one going on in my marketing dept also.

    An excellent point
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects.

    Not sure Sona will be back. Keep in mind there are groups that make this scenario a game. There are people who make a living tracking these groups and their activities, especially in the consumer goods industry.

    I vote "Hell No" on the avatars :eek: That's a disaster in progress for a website admin. On the other hand, members that link their avatar to a hosting site are real easy to track down when they misbehave ;)

    I really don't think Justin wanted to shut down this thread, and I do think he has been stuck playing babysitter too much here. As for rskarvan, and Sono push your crap somewhere else. If you don't like Brussels sprouts eat something else!

    No, there are people that make it a game to use pressure and being offended to get websites to remove things, or change their policies. Most belong to web-rings where they publish their exploits and earn points or other honors for it. Some of the big consumer goods companies have been hit by coordinated onslaughts over the last few years. Welcome to the internet :(

    WOW, just when you thought we were all ready to play nicely together, this happens. Hell, even I managed to stop PMSing and started playing nice again.

    About the only thing I can offer to ease the pain of the shutting down of this legendary thread is to post a linky...for those offended by good looking chicks...

    DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!!! GOT IT???

    DO NOT CLICK THE LINK!!!

    This forum has 49,250 members ---

    2 people were offended by that thread...

    Thats like .004% of the individuals on this site...

    This forum has REALLY started to just SUCK.

    I didnt even view either thread, neither one really appealed to me on how to spend my online time...

    I know bashing Rskarvan and Sona is unacceptable, but is ignoring them, and telling them to stay out of any thread I write acceptable? :D

    kinda kidding......kinda not.

    I care little about the TBT to be honest(and less about the beefcake thread of course)
    it's really about the principle of the thing of complaining about things you dont like when you ca just avoid it completly. Sheep, there just sheep..LOL

    I simply don't agree as it's a larger issue to me. It's moreso a response from people who have little to do with this forum in regards to participation, daily activities or membership. I didn't need anything mentally from either member but will, as usual, move on.

    Just an opinion, everyone has one.

    Well that is just F*ckin' sideways! They think they're doing noble deeds, but all they do is cause strife to a perfectly good forum. It's almost like the Crusades, only hi-tech. I've learned alot from the thousand other posts and replies here. TBT was a nice little distraction occasionally.

    Just for **** and giggles I went to the tasteful thread ( Hiding in shame where it doesnt belong ) just to see the pics from the VERY start of the thread....In the first 3 pages I saw nipple/actual BUNGHOLE/and a girl whose rogue pictures started showing up on the internet when she was 15. IF ANYTHING...the thread cleaned up towards the end...not the other way around.

    I think we should get the Club Polk family back on track. Vent, but keep it inbounds and polite. We've had a couple of members of the family behave in contrary to the majority, and unless we can get Dr Phil or Jerry Springer to intervene, there's not alot we can do. Continued participation and not letting them derail the family is the best response.

    JMHO.
