new forum?

[tough_lil_gina]

I personally just feel that pics of those sorts are making this site less appealing. there is no reason for them to be here and I do not feel that they should be allowed.....

Now if they are pics of fitness models, form and figure models.... etc thats a different story bnut pcs that show nudity... have no place here

I'm all for the seperate forum, but if I don't want to see someones pics I just don't go into that thread.....especially when it's something as obvious as "Here you are boys"

FROM WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED when a board opens a forum like that it always gets out of control & porn eventually gets posted. i have to agree that it takes some class away from a board. & i like the more mature atmosphere of this board.
sorry about the caps

Tough_lil_Gina, mtex, et. al., porn does detract considerably from fitness sites. Out of all the fitness sites I have been to that had so much potential with knowledgeable people, they would open a porn forum. They would do well for a little while (a few months), and then the board would start dying off because it would get to a point that people were spending more time posting pics or downloading pics that the main forums started slacking off. Then not long after that, people searching for help would get frustrated and move on to other higher quality boards seeking out the very reason that fitness boards were set up in the first place.

i agree. & one point that was missed ; it would attract undesirable people. i have witnessed this on other boards that i dont visit anymore

wow, I didn't think this thread would continue this long.
- I'll clarify: we will not be adding a porn/adult/nude section to this site.
offensive material will be removed from the site
the mods of this site will dtermine if material needs to be removed.
We have both men and women moderating this site - all of which are mature, classy people.

web has spoken!

Not really into nudity on a fitness board. But, if you want to post fitness chick in bikinis, its cool with me. Even with the disclaimer and rules disallowing people under the age of 18, minors still access our site. They have agreed to the disclaimer and rules automatically by joining, but I still feel that nudity is an unneccessary liability to this site, and, as much as I love good eye candy, the boards that have the highest success don't have nudity unless its a paid, platinum membership.

I totally agree with what you have said and i also agree with you too web. I feel that this is one of the best, if not the best site right now, and always for fitness info etc... I just felt that the opics were getting a little out of hand and were making this site look as bad as others.
