These weren't mean threads, but often there was sexual innuendo or adult themes, nothing x-rated (well except for grandpa trout and that pair of knees). I must be coming across as a deviate, but those were the threads I liked, ones where we could be adults. Unless there was a vendetta, posts often stayed for days. I think in some ways the boards had more tolerant users than they do now. Now it is so PC.  I'm sure there are interesting threads, but I'm not interested in politics or current affairs. (mostly due to my own ignorance on the outside world)

 

 I also think moderators sanitizing posts sucks

That's it in a nutshell.

nope, I didn't, I just disguised it under the topic Barbie Dolls

LOL

I have no idea what prompted this or what was in the original OP.

Nothing stays the same............... well not for long anyway.

Some welcomed the new system, thing it was a better form of moderation, it turns out it isn't better, just different.

The editing of posts changes the meaning of posts, if edited by the mods..................

The locking of threads is odd.................

If there are better forums to post on, for some people, perhaps pm them and give them a link?

No one is forced to post here?

and BTW, where are you Duffy??

Probably off somewhere chuckling to herself about the stir she's caused.

She said she was going to bed early last night, as she has work today.

Wow Duffy's a female go figure

I bet none of those were started by the OP either. That is the problem people complain & want 'entertaining' but don't actaully contribute anything entertaining themselves.

One of those threads mentioned up there, got the OP of the thread a ban for 2 years approx. Under the old CW mods/rules...not the new system.

All her posts made me think she was a he in the way they were written.
