If you don't like our conversation, then go find another thread.

And by the way, THE Crusade will eventually roll into town for you as well. You may not realize it but eventually EVERY knee will bow. - just had to throw some religion into this....I figured it would get the ire of many up.

Wow..no kidding? You are 100% correct..b/c if they didn't do the whole $12.00 thing..THIS SITE WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN STARTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. Thus..this site would have ZERO members.

As other have pointed out, this is obvious. I never would have created this site had JJ not started charging. What would have been the point?

I find it ironic that this thread has lasted as long as it has. Considering this thread would have been long gone and deleted at JJ's, due to their many unmentioned rules.

I don't mind the cursing, and I am not above it, but I was told a long time ago, that those words are used when someone can't think of anything smarter to say. Unneccessary cursing to just curse is a problem...that is one of the reasons I don't like Judd Apatow movies....they force the language in there.

People came to this site because they didnt want to pay the 12 dollars. And besides, there is only 3 rules on this site, and rules are rules.

tusky.....you made me laugh.

On the LSU site Im on, they have an option where you dont have to see cuss words, where they substitute it with other words. But people who use swear words or want to see them can.
If you don't like it, go the other sites you mentioned. It's just like watching TV, if you don't like what's on, change the damn channel.

Nothing quite like people trying to force others to follow their particular moral code.
I am glad the admins here have a sense of liberty and the swearing is limited and the rule is being enforced.

This thread needs to close. It's ran the table enough.

CGW: If you want to continue being a tight ass, just go back to JJ. We don't need you here.

Yeah. I'll end it with my post from earlier in the thread.
When I was on JJ's the only forum I really ever visited was ST/I. I'd stop in and peek at the HS football forum a little bit to read up on Licking Valley during the season but that was it. When they announced they were going to start charging for memberships and I saw the outrage I knew people weren't going to stick around (on ST/I). I didn't particularly want to lose the daily interaction I had with those folks, and with my profession being in web development it was natural for me to throw a new site together really quick.

I honestly didn't expect it to grow like it did but with the influx of members came an influx of requests for new forums. I added them but it wasn't really my intention for this to be a JJ clone. That is, however, what this place has started to evolve into.

Sure, some people might find this board offensive and I for that I apologize. Like someone said, you cannot please everyone. I am not going to start locking this place down like they did at JJ's. Sure, some people might take rule #3 a little far with their cursing. For the most part people follow it pretty well and I appreciate that. I think it is (generally) pretty clear what the content of a thread is going to be based on the title ("boobs","booty", etc). The simple solution is to obviously ignore the ones you have no interest in. I'll look into seeing if there is a way that I can have people set up individual filters to block the swearing individually but I can't promise anything. I've also got the option of creating a "safer" general forum for people but I can guarantee that it'll be slow.

A couple of people are also throwing the "business" word around. It isn't my intention for this to turn into a business. I'm obviously not gonna be upset if I make a little bit of money with it but it will never make enough for me to quit my job or anything.

I hope these answer everyone's questions and/or touches on all of the concerns. I know there are some people that won't like it but I am willing to live with that. I'm not gonna be a d__k and say if you don't like it GTFO 'cause that's not my style. I'd prefer people stick around and just ignore the stuff they don't agree with.
