ARGGGG........

Jumping Jesus Christ on a pogo stick!! I have never seen so many spoiled, selfish, pansy-asses, doing so much bitching about...nothing, before in my life! Where do you guys, that never post a single word beyond "nice tits", get the idea that you have a right to even so much as wimper at the demise of th EZ. Un-freakin'-believable! It was obviously long past time to cull this heard. Sayanara, ya ungrateful leeches.

Halx
Just wanted to thank you for the site itself. Yes I spent most of my time on the titty board but still love the rest of the boards. I was here the last time the E board was shut down and understand completely.

Also, where can I send a money order to donate?

Well (and colorfully I might add!) said Bill :D

I like to use Jumped Up Jesus Christ in these situations. It's a classic.

Maybe it's time to kill this topic, it's making everyone jumpy. Mind you, on a very optimistic level, at least we have a fired up exchange rather than a one way stream of tits and bums.

Huh?? Ummm... this ENTIRE forum is a huge exhange! There was just one small corner (filled with a lot of people) wiht the tits and bums.


Besides, this whole fired up exhange is just about tits and bums, isnt it? People need to get over it.

if you took a second to actually focus on other area's of the board..you would see that this entire board is a big exchange.. with many different topics

Why do I keep getting "Titty Board" update e-mails?
 

If the Erogenous Zone is gone, how come I keep getting daily updates on posts to the "Titty Board"? Anybody else getting those?

Halx is right on this one. It has been pretty much that viutually no one in on the other forums. I have never seen more than 20 in the General disscussion. That's really sad. COZ GD should be the main attraction. And there's my 2 cents.

Yup. The Erogenous Zone is open and people are posting.

Just not lurkers who aren't active in other areas of the boards, and who have not earned access.

You've gotta earn it kiddo.

The thing is, that response didn't cover anything that isn't in the forum's documentation, which is sticky'd all over this site. If the porn disappears, you should know what happened. I've noticed since the upgrade that zone has been pulling in about ten times the number of users that were in any other area.

If you're not contributing, you're not pulling your weight. That's the way it is around here, and it's just that simple.

As I said before, THIS DEBATE is turning people into one of two things, either the high and mighty Lords of the manor, or equally unfortunate, the grovelling peasants. I get why the sites down, understand and accept the situation. I am also grateful to those who make it happen. I also think this debate is getting boring and power play is as lame as complaining about not having free porn.

email me when adult zone is up and cumming!!!!!!!!!!
 

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :icare: :icare: :crazy:

honestly the forums kick ass. the EZ is great but i mean there other parts are awesome i.e. tilted weapons, and tilted motors. to be honest, i never donated, it isn't because i didn't want to, it was just that it never entered my mind. that may sound greedy but i just never thought about it. something like this needs to be done for those people like me who really don't know what kind of time and money is involved in running a site. and about people bitching about the donations, say you donate some money to a NON profite organization, they utalize your money and use it for a good cause, if they go under from lack of funds, are you going to sue them for your money back? i am assuming not. halx supplied us a great service, and it is about time that us leechers pay for it.

Are these guys really over 18? Man :rolleyes:

(lord of the manor)

Yawn

So basically people are either bitching and crying when they shouldn't, or they're high and mighty? Where do you stand Mr. I Have All of 7 Posts 5 of Which Are Responses To This Thread?

So because Averett respects this board enough to defend the mods, and their decisions, she's acting high and mighty? I agree with her....they way these people are acting makes me wonder how old they are too. And if not whining and acting like a spoiled three year old makes me "high and mighty", then so be it... call me what you will.

Oh, and I'd prefer to be Lady of the Manor :D

Averett. I have made no claims, not a beggar, nor a saint. I am empathic to the board's financial situation but will not donate money. I appreciate its existence and understand that there are people who maintain it financially and technically. Good on them, thanks to them. I am a calm observer (in my view) and treacherous leacher (in yours I imagine). I don't mind what you think, I'm going to find a more interesting forum to enjoy. Why don't you stay here and find some people to scorn.

[soapbox/]
I know I'm not the most frequent poster here (mainly that's job related...it's hard to find reliable internet access in third world countries and war zones), but here's my 2 cents.
I was here for months before I could so much as *look* at the titty boards without violating (again-work related) rules. And guess what? I survived.
I would almost hope that this is a permanent feature. I've noticed that Halx needs to do this every so often, and it does keep the quality of the rest of the forum up.
For everyone who won't didn't see this coming, I say:
IT'S THE FREAKING INTERNET, YOU DO NOT NEED SOMEONE TO SPOON FEED YOU PORN. GOOGLE IT.
For the "lords of the manor," I say: Yay for Halx, the discussion boards, the people who contribute here, and the E-zone!! In that order.

[/end soapbox]

Nicely said.

What is striking to me is the fact that everyone thinks they have to donate cash. It would be great if they did (I plan to send some money hal's way soon) but as mentioned there are other ways to donate..as in posting responsibly and often... let me repeat.. you can donate by posting in other areas of the board and contributing ideas and thoughts.

Ok I hope understand ... money is money

SO .... what can we do to have an acces on the EZ board ... ??

I can share U lot of Pics ... share by http or stro serveurs ...

Have Fun

A logical question:

What point is there in me donating if the erogenous zone is now gone? That's what I visited the site for, and I'm not interested in much else. That's not a rip on the rest of the board, just honesty on my part. I'm not much for online discussions.

The smart way to do this would have been to warn people 10 days ahead of time, set a goal for donations, and see if you got enough to keep the section. But just pulling it out from under everybody is going to get you less donations, if any.

this is how you can access it.. this came from the rules and regulations post in the Newbie section that is a first read must for all new comers.

quite simple donate via cash or discussion and you get access to your beloved EZ.

Comedy Gold!!!

This just made my day.

Those of you who claim this is a porn site your dead wrong. There are many members who come here for the forums not the titty board. Hell I didn't even know about the titty board for the first 3 months I was on this board. Get involved in forums, get known in the community, and don't be a troll. Do this and you will be rewarded.

lemme point out that at one time we limited access to what you need to those that did participate in the other forums...

then one day, when they least expected it, HOLY SHIATT, there it was... all the boobage in the world - and mind you, the boobage does not belong to the board, it belongs to those that posted them, their effort goes wildly unappreciated... no thanx or if any at all - "i'd hit hit it"...

it's like your electric meter, every time you hit a thread on the TB the meter starts - for you folks that don't understand, there are 312 pages of pics for the getting - multiply that by a couple hundred lurkers A DAY... the KACHING CHING machine starts rolling - like a gas pump...

text is cheap, context is not


there are 312 pages of boobie pics - do you possibly understand what the bandwidth load is on that when we have to cover the costs

Halx, jsut wanted to say thanx for the forums! I first came here for the boobies but since then havn't even been there in ages anyways and didn't notice that anything had gone missing. I support ur decision here also. thanx for the community!

I kinda like not having the EZ, i means my lurking is far more productive and educational, rather than degenerative and mind numbing.

I actually like this place. I don't post a whole lot, but I do read an awful lot of the forums. Not many places have forums for philosophy/knowledge (science) AND paranoia.

IF Halx had the physical resources to do that, he probably would. Clearly he does not, hence the need for donations. Explore the board a bit and you'll find - in a very logical and obvious place for most contributors - even more information about the need for money and the kind of hardware it's needed for.

As far as being pulled without notice, if you read the TFP Charter and the rules of TFP, you will find that not only is the porn not a core part of the purpose for the site, it isn't even one of the purposes at all. It is an extra little thing that's nice for people to have, but no one should be here strictly for the porn.

To those who have not contributed anything in time spent outside the EZ or, at least, money. The porn isn't what TFP is about - whether or not that's true for you. If you refuse to contribute time elsewhere on the forum or money, that's fine - go somewhere else for free porn. If you like the things that TFP values - open and respectful communication and all that other stuff mentioned in the charter you were supposed to read when you signed up, then go explore the rest of the forum. Chances are, you'll probably enjoy it.

To those who ARE contributors, thanks for your support. Remember though, everyone has to start somewhere. A lot of you didn't start participating until a time when the EZ was turned off for awhile. So, keep in mind that the person you're talking to may be a lurker today, but they may be a top member a few months from now.

Everyone on both sides should always make their best attempt to be respectful in their discussion.

Look how simple this is...

========> "Results 1 - 10 of about 119,000,000 for Porn" <=========

That's A LOT more porn than the E-Z ;)

Is yahoo our only way of donating other then snail mail?

It seems Halx wants money, he knows that addicts will come here and look at porn to get their fix. So take away their fix, they become desperate that they'll do anything to get their fix back, even if it means forking over some dough to support their habit.

Wait a while, Halx will have money flowing into his bank account and will reopen the titty boards again. Next year his beer funds dries out again, closes the titty board, the addicts whips out their credit cards and the process proceeds again until the next year.

Halx is no dummy and he's very smart. He should be doing more business.

This is a very unique forum with EVERYTHING with every subject possible, caters just about every walks of life, including porn addicts, which is his large catagory and most frequent used.

Take a look at it this way, you could operate a "family style" business, like a video store for example, sometimes, some of the business may have a porn section in the back room away from view of the soccer moms. Many may know about it and choose not to get envolved.

Fortunantly, this is the internet, an entirely different setting altogether, but have more freedom to moosey around the porn section w/o the fear of getting busted by someone they know. But the business concept is kinda about the same idea.

I'm kinda poor myself, as I make slightly above the minimum wage, if I could afford to donate I would, but at the same time, I recognize his business practice.

Hang tight guys, it'll reopen soon as these pimpled face geeky guys blows off somewhere else.

You're right Itunn, you've caught us. This is all a big business ploy to get Halx and the rest of the mods rich. Running this site is cheap, it takes no resources whatsoever. The idea that new server hardware would be necessary to run a site with tens of thousands of users everyday is laughable. I knew we couldn't keep up the facade for much longer...we're caught. we actually get free hardware from the US government so that they can use this site to spy on people and they cover the bandwidth bills as well.



Gimme a break. I'm gonna be honest and say I'm getting a bit sick of the people with their heads up their asses who think it doesn't cost a crapload of money to run this site, let alone get the hardware necessary for it to run smoothly.

Ads - Revenue
 

why don't you show search engine results from some of the pay-per-click search engines? You'll get a piece of every click.

It could bring in thousands per week with you amount of traffic.

Read the thread before asking questions. This has already been addressed. TFP being ad-free is FAAAR more important than TFP with porn.

the porn is just an added bonus to a great forum! without it the forum lives on, but selfish boners do not, o well :rolleyes:

Boo. Hiss. :p
