Actually since everyone has to meet a certain number of posts BEFORE they are open to the porn I guess, that blows your theory out of the water.
Plus if 99% are here for the free pr0n. that still leaves 3000 active that aren't.
Instead of being bitter, realize that Hal created and worked extremely hard to make this a wonderful place, that is pretty much censor-free, allows free thinkers to post on any topic they so desire and get feedback, a place where TRUE friends can be made and a place where one can learn on any subject because there is someone here that can help.
This is a diverse and beautiful creation and we owe Hal thanks for his vision, not to condemn him or bad mouth him anonymously while we take full advantage of HIS site.
I believe this creation can become so much more than just what it is and I for one am thankful that we have someone like a Hal that is willing to try. He surrounds himself with great people (the admins and mods), Artelevision, Analog, Maleficient, Tecoyah, UnclePhil, Sin, Lebell are just some of examples of the wonderous minds he has surrounded himself with.
This is not to brown nose because I DON"T HAVE TO. I can take advantage of this place and mind my business and not say a damned word and noone would think any less or more of me.
I choose to write this because in all honesty I love TFP and the diverse people here, and it is because of Hal and who he has chosen to surround himeslf with that makes this place what it is.
So once I get a physical addres some of my hard earned dollars will go to Hal to keep this haven, again, NOT because I have to or because I have ulterior motives, but solely because I believe in Hal and the people that make this place a home and family to those of us who choose to see it, believe in it and use it for what it is.
