... why hot babe threads are always locked/deleted. I believe we are all mature enough here to be able to view partially-revealing images of chicks. YOU make the choice to click on the link to the thread - it's not the poster's fault. Most of us here are straight guys and enjoy such threads. Come on, I want a clear answer here - why are these threads not appropriate???

Please don't lock this, it's just a friendly discussion!

*NOTE* PLEASE keep flamewars to a minimum - I want this thread up for a while to see what you guys think.

This thread perfectly exhibits the inability by many members of this forum to deal with various subject matters with more than a modicum of maturity.

IMO WarmAndSCSI, it's simply because the "babe" threads get out of hand and the fact that sometimes the links lead to "inappropriate" material, hope this helps :)

Babe threads were banned because of all the complaints that Anand was getting from the SPCA and PETA.

Might be because this is a computer forum and is supposed to be professional and it really can't be when a bunch of people who can never have the calibre of women they disregard so simply because of one flaw in their outer beauty post pictures of women on it?

Yeah, I guess you're right... Man, I wish we could just be a bit more mature here.


HAHA - right.

I whole-heartedly disagree with that statement. I think Zim Hosein is on the right track.

This forum is no where near "professional".... there's a new piece of flamebait posted every 30 seconds.

You don't think this board is professional? Have you ever left Off Topic in your life?

THIS forum isn't professional. The other ones are somewhat professional. I used to never visit ATOT and made 90% of posts in Networking.

You're a complete moron. Stop posting from now on. If you want to know, I voted that way just to fück up your stupid poll. I'm glad I voted that way because it seems like that group of people bothers you in some way. Holding something inside?

If this is a professional forum, then wouldn't that be MORE appropriate here? Since we're all mature or adutls?

The replies that are given such as imitations of masturbation, sexual implications.. you're right, that makes it more professional.
