It's all about sponsers.

It's also all about not being blocked by company filters.

KarenMarie has it ... advertisers pay money to advertise, and probably don't want to see unrelated junk (nudity etc.), so the site respects that. Besides, if we're not computer savvy enough to find that other stuff on the internet when we'd like to view it, perhaps we should be enrolling in Computers 101 first.

It should be kept respectable and PG. There are loads of other places to go for cursing and nudity. I think there are so many member here because it is not a slum.

QFT.
KArenMArie does it again. :)

Agreed. This forum is overrun with stupidity.

I'd like to have just one day without a "What do you do with your boogers when you pull them out of your nose?" or a "How many times do you wipe after you poo?" thread. Serious medical issues are one thing, but let's keep the basic bodily functions to ourselves. Please.

No they aren't. Some of the MODS here are overbearing jerks who THEMSELVES need to be moderated. You can make a post in a thread, saying NOTHING out of line from what the entire rest of the thread is saying, and yet you'll be banned for it. When you try to approach the mods and talk about it they basically tell you to fvck off and die. On top of that, they're too cowardly to talk to you on the phone or in person to see if you can come to some understanding.

AT MODS need to be MODERATED.

I kind of enjoy the ejaculate threads.
There's usually some pretty decent humor in those.
