This does not help our mission.

Wow, I can't believe I missed this thread...

Excuse me while I back out slowly...

Xerxys nailed what I was trying to say. Visually. Thank you.

it's all over when they pull a gun on the kitteh.

Plus one.

I'm fine with it, as long as Tilted Exhibition stays.

I'm worried about bobby though :]

/salute

And how do you see that happening?

We have no pictures of nudity or sexual acts now - except of course for our members' photos.

This slope is so slippery it deserves its own water park.

All this speculation. So little truth.

Guys, exhibition is staying. If I could, I would make it a larger part of the site. It is a huge part of what the TFP stands for. Porn is just porn and there is very little sentimentality attached to it - that is why it is gone. It has always been the bait or the crutch, and we must move on without it. That doesn't mean that the site is going to be made safe for church. Stop flipping out.

Heathens and Spinsters alike! I, Reverend Eden say upon to you, hear my words and know them for the truth! God frowns down up those who covet the unwashed skin and spy with their lustful eyes upon flesh that is NOT revealed in the sanctity of MARRIAGE! God will reign down Fire and Justice upon those who show to others what God has hidden from unworthy eyes! The sin is not just upon those evil vixens who let God's sun shine upon their rose gardens, but the sinful picker of those ROSES! We, at the 1st Church of Punk, have helped many of those wayward souls come to grips with their untamed desires of the flesh! You just have to open your SOULS to the church! Reverend Punk or Reverend Bear Cub will be here to help lead you down the path of RIGHTEOUSNESS! 3 simple steps will start you on the road to SALVATION!

1. Take those SINFUL pictures and send them to us. 1stchurchofpunk@gmail.com.

2. Start your feet awalkin' down the path of right to... one of our houses. Call first. Don't wear anything... complicated.

3. Prepare to OPEN yourself to our holy instruments of GOD! Bring condoms... and wine. Good wine, no boone's farm.

Brothers and Sisters, help me HEAL those who are in need.... but we get to heal them first. You know, rights of the clergy and all.

/sarcasm I mean LOTS of sarcasm, like dripping on my computer keyboard sarcasm.

Oh, I'm so getting warned for this.

Yeah, cause you didn't tell everyone to cc in Halx, dumbass! Sheesh, you'd think folks would pay attention.... ;)

If halx gets ahold of them first, it would be like throwing my Staff of Righteousness down the Well of Eternity!

Ahh...so it all comes back to "What is the definition of porn?".

Halx wants ehibition to stay, on the basis that it is a huge part of what the TFP stands for. I agree. It is. On the other hand, I can see where yournamehere believes the issue to be a slippery slope. It is. Boobs are boobs. It matters little, save for ourselves, whether they belong to an airbrushed model or one of our own members. So, in that light, the "porn" really isn't going away...now is it?

Halx is also correct (hell, he should know) the Erogenous Zone was used as bait to lure in membership. Occasionaly, we caught a big fish. Of course, we also had quite a few small fry that would just nibble on the bait. In any case, if a lure is tangled on the bottom, preventing any more "fishing", then sometimes the fisherman has to cut his line, cursing the lose of a good lure. So goes the metephor. It's time to try some new bait.

Beyond Halx's reasoning for exhibition to stay, I would hate like hell to see it go for my own selfish reasons. My personal proclivity toward porn leans to the amateur. I could not really care less if the Erogenous Zone goes away. I can find airbrushed perfection on any one of 1,000,000,000 sites out there. Amateur is...real. Just as our members are real. It's a nice plus for me to be able to associate an exhibition post to a members other posts and ramblings. And, speaking of rambling...I am. So, I'll just depart by saying that to a brand new member, that doesn't "know" our membership, the pair of boobs, or the raging hardon, displayed in Tilted Exhibition, is still just porn. It just means a little more to us.

But then how is it more acceptable for co-workers, friends and family? I mean those that weren't invited because of the porn.

Well said Bill.

I think this change jars me because it is the first time we have decided to actively censor content for perception rather than legal reasons. I just want to know we're not going to go the way of fark-making hundreds of tiny concessions over time to ruin the spirit of the place. No one can make that guarantee of course, so I'll have to just trust it won't.

For starters because exhibition is only available to full members. A casual glance over the front page by a new member will reveal no boobs whatsoever.

TFP is not and will never be 'family friendly.' We're just a little less family unfriendly now.

I also want to add that speculating about slippery slopes is sorta insulting to me. Not that you'll be warned for it, but I want you to know how personally invested I am in the TFP and its development. The TFP will, at times, take on a mind of its own, but it will never stray too far from what I want it to be. So you have to trust that I want the TFP to be intellectually stimulating and sexually titillating all at the same time. You have to trust that I want this site to kick ass. It does you little good to define "porn" because you know what I am talking about when I speak, even if I don't do so in a concise manner.

I got rid of the big section that had nothing to do with discussion or personal expression. Yes, I'm aware I "missed a few spots" but I don't live by hard and fast rules. I made "a move" in "a direction" that will hopefully lead to "positive results" of some kind. Stop being so suspicious. I hang out here, too.

Gaddamn It I had subscribed and bookmarkked some really HOT threads in the titty board ... GONE!! They're all gone!!

/bursts out crying!!

dude.

you really need to get laid.

That's all I need.

Everybody is bitching about the direction and can't even see the friggin' map.

Only one guy has the map.

...

No shit. Xerxys... come to D.C. and meet this girl I prepared for you in 2007.

Easy way to fix that (for now at least, unless the URLs are changed back to the TFP style)...

If the URL is: http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/titty-board/148278-smoking-hot-shaved-red-head.html#post2647735

Then change it to http://www.tfpez.com/showthread.php?t=148278 and it will work

Removed her brain? Cut her legs off? Sewed her mouth shut? Hid her in the basement?

What does it take to prepare a girl for Xerxys?

a blindfold

She can still hear him coming and with enough effort and luck, get away from him.

This is Crompsin we're talking about. She's probably dead from multiple gunshots and has rough patches that have been subjected to the smooth spot.

Is that like a really bad "indian burn" you got when you were a kid? This is just my range of thought, but I bet Cromp lubes up his smoothspot with machining oil before he attacks someone with the Spot of Doom.

Pot? Is that you?

I always envisioned him using a combination of bacon grease, machine oil and mitt oil, but coating his entire body with it.

The good news for Xerxys is that she's still just as virginal when Crompsin found her, what with his lack of unit and all.

And Hal, for the record, porn can be written as well. I'm doing my best to try to take this thread across that threshold.

Thank you for assuaging my laziness and critical-thinking mind. Hopefully no changes will come about in the next month that will delete the traces of 'Erogenous Zone' subscriptions, becuase that is exactly the amount of time necessary for me to recall to save those bookmarks elsewhere.

I think they're mostly held over from that lonely month in 2007.

who is the pot exactly??

I get plenty of sex tyvm :)

don't worry Xerxys.. Jazz has this place in boystown that he frequents.. I'm sure he can help ya out if you get desperate :p

wow. there are 215 people over there.
i was curious.
and i liked that when i logged it, it automatically changed to fromBasics Dark.
215?! whoa.

You guys are mean.

...

Hey, Jazz... if I had the EZ blocked when the site was formed up like Voltron with a strap-on, am I still blocked now?

I mean... I may have to go over and check the porn for firmness or something.

Do everybody that public service.

I'm pumping traffic over there, but its pretty useless traffic. Very few people will actually stick around. What it does, however, is get links out there on the internet for search engines to recognize the brand new site.

That's actually an excellent question, and I'm not quite sure how the software is going to respond. Here's the link:

Tilted Forum Project Erogenous Zone - Powered by vBulletin

What happened?

I see you disabled the "must register" feature to view the EZ.

I kinda don't like where this is going but meh ... OK.

you know, every time I read the thread title, in my head it's immediately followed by "... and I liked it..."




/my threadjack. just wanted to share my earworm. now it's yours muhahahahahahaha!

Well, I saw a hotdog go somewhere it doesn't belong. Huh.

So I can access the new site, but any sex-remnants on this site (like exhibition or monty or whatever) remains blocked / hidden.

Thanks a lot, noodle.

Noodle, that song is not in my head.

Now the "All your base belong to us" song stuck there because of your location.

I'm going to sic my chest hairs on you.

watch it. i'll hitcha with some MC Frontalot... :lol:

So the earlier assertion was incorrect, and it will be searchable from google, and in the future anyone searching for "Tilted Forum Project" may be just as likely to be directed to that site, thus defeating the separation.

Kitten will visit Titty Board.

http://www.jonco48.com/blog/kitty_20porn.jpg

Well, in my quest to see if that screenshot was among the only three contributions I've established within the Titty Board, I learned that it was not.

However, I have noticed a somewhat cool feature within the "EZ", as it displays a member's "true" post count. (I have no idea if they are factoring in the Nonsense posts as well, because just clicking on a few members profiles', it should seem that the post tally is rather low in comparison)

That rocks beyond words noodle. I love me some nerdcore!

I should re-bump that thread about 'nerdcore' once I find out what songs I featured on it... and re-upload it to something other than the now-defunct seeqpod.

Also, nerdcore (NSFW). (I found this about five hours ago, so I thought, since he said the word, why not?)

It's not a crapshoot. In any case, it will soon have its own identity. Is there no faith in my intentions, ability and foresight?

Just offering up a perspective. I'm sure there were times when even DaVinci and Galileo overlooked some small practicality that was pointed out by a peon.

I figured questioning things over blind acceptance was more in the spirit of TFP than porn ever was.

At least I'm not with "the absence of porn will be the death of us all" doomsayer crowd.

I will accept Boone's Farm and condoms are not necessary...

I'll teach you how to spread Herpes... Ahem, the word of God.

It shouldn't be insulting to be disagreed with, Halx. Don't forget - I'm the same guy who said just a few posts earlier that it's your sandbox - you get to make the rules. Of course I know you have a lot more invested in this site than anyone. But I also know you've always wanted TFP to be the kind of site where no one should feel intimidated to voice their opinion, or feel that their opinion doesn't matter, as long as it's presented in a responsible manner. I'm hoping that would include a modicum of sarcasm.

As far as the porn goes - I'm in camp with all the others who say it's too ubiquitous these days to worry about losing one source of it. To me it's more of a "denying your roots" kind of issue. Just my opinion; no insult was intended. At least give me a point or two for giving my own opinion - even if it means going against the grain of the majority of the posts. If you had titled this thread, "I''ve decided to not kill the porn," we both know you'd still have pages and pages of comments patting you on the back for making the right decision - some of them by the same people agreeing with your actual decision. And that's okay - there are valid points to be made for defending either side.

I think you've done a great job creating, guiding, and maintaining this site over the years, but it doesn't mean I'm going to agree with every decision you make. If you find that insulting, then you give my opinion far more bearing than it warrants.

At first I was like :mad:

Now I'm like :thumbsup:

Only because I saw it had been moved to a new site.

*sniff* The porn, it lived such a full life. It will be missed.

Whatevah, the whole reason this place exists is the community. Already reading this thread I have been confused, enlightened and annoyed (with getting that stupid song in my head). A good thread, I'd say.

Better to be porn. Than to host porn, I suppose.

Aaah, the porn isn't dead.

It just grew up and moved out.

Unlike that deadbeat son of ours.

Crompsin.

You forgot to sign out and sign back in as The_Jazz, Cromp...

fix'd

I checked. There's porn elsewhere. But there's only one Tilted Forum :)

Now that's comedy.

Nice combo, Jazz!

Alter egos are hard.... you know, like math for girls....

/awaits the deluge of reported posts for that snappy comeback...

:(

It's a good call, I would say I agree fully with this change. TFP has become so much more than just porn, having it on the same site was troublesome at best.

That thing is mesmerising.

I think it was a smart move, for the reasons already stated

Y'know, if this is the reason we have so much more activity in the exhibition forum, then YAY!!!

Doesn't seem as interesting or as "adult oriented" without the easy access to TB. IMHO it seems that alot of us are bummed out about the change - I know that I am.

It's become extremely "vanilla" with no sprinkles!

You're doing it wrong. :)

Would be interesting to see some stats on traffic for both this site and the Tilted Forum Project Erogenous Zone. Has the split effected the number of hits, bandwifth used? Its been a month now.

i must be old, i just noticed this
damn i gotta get out more.....

Man... keep hoping this thread will contain zombie porn.

I am constantly disappointed.

And All Us Older Posters from years ago keep wondering when our original "All In One" format returns - even better than ever...

:thumbsup:

The other board got linked in a TGP, and I ended up here. Which was odd, since I registered and lurked and forgot about this place 4.5 years ago.

So, thumbs up from me I guess.
