Most sites do this by a simple "I am 18 years or older" disclaimer page at the beginning.youd need to verify whoever getis in is over 18,
Use Logic Or STFU!!!
Why associate the board with porn? Hell no I say.
Where the hell is Alpha Caesar with his input?

I voted yes...
To address some of the stated reservations.
1) It attracts the wrong crowd.
That kinda offends me. I look at porn and have several friends who enjoy looking at it. We are not criminals nor do we go out and rape or pillage. Nor is there some type of ethics tests to log onto here...for all we know any one of the users here culd be bad...I mean this is a forum about filesharing which is being used for the most part to swap copyrighted material which maybe of itself unethical.We don't make users answer to any high moral code or anything like that.
2) Kids may see it
Yes and I can see that can be veiwed as bad. But that is true on the internet period. It's funny that the fileswapping phenonom(sp!was pushed as a way to get around censorship in certain countries like China yet here we are...talking about it...We could do our part with a disclaimer and parents need to be PARENTS and do their part...If I had a child there are all kinda things one can do...to fix the porn issue..a friend of mine put his kids computer in the kitchen and wont let him use it unless either he or his wife could see the monitor...that takes no computer savvy or skill at all....
3) It's not wanted
The poll numbers do not necessarily reflect the true response to veiwing porn since there is still a social stigma attached to veiwing it. I am also confused by the difference in results from this poll compared to the other dozen or so ran before ownership changed not sure if their is any correlation just an observation.
In closing I would like to point out this:
The two most popular files swapped on amost P2P's are music and porn. This is supposed to be a fileswapping forum. To not have a section for the second(maybe top?)most shared file type just to me sounds rediculus..especially for reasons i have see so far...filesharing is of itself a radical anarchist type of expression to worry about ones image or legaility in certain areas such as free speech or privacy issues. Also I would like to point out that one surefire way to insure that this isnt some type of RIAA honeypot trap forum that is gonna be ran for a couple of years to log ips and the bust people for music swapping is to have a porn section because a upstanding body(sarcasm) like the RIAA would not want to be associated with a site that contained said porn area..
Hope this in some way makes u think about it...
I have no particularly strong view on this one.
I am in fact totally apathetic about it.
I couldn't care less.
I just wanted to make that perfectly clear.
So basically fill your boots.
Or not.
Whatever.
Just leave me out of it.
Stop badgering me.
I've told you how I feel.
So STFU and leave me alone.
FFS let it go.

Great post, evildon. You make a lot of excellent points. Like J'Pol I really don't care one way or the other, but it is kind of weird that people keep saying we should protect the children when the whole basis of this forum is ILLEGAL file sharing. I guess some people would rather have their kids become theives than, God forbid, see a little nudity.Originally posted by evildon@18 April 2004 - 11:58

Is there nudity involved, well maybe I should reconsider.
1) You're right, but this will help to attract the wrong crowd more.Originally posted by evildon@18 April 2004 - 11:58

2) This is still a filesharing board, not a porn site. This board may not support COPPA (maybe?) but nudity still isn't allowed here.
