Jipay Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Then don't watch it. Nobody forced you to do so and there was a warning...
Hobbes Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 MEOW MEOW MEOW MEOW!(i hate profanity and nudity) That explains your signature... Or is "sucka" cat-lingo?
Jipay Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I just want now people to stop posting here so we can see what Phes had found next :-D
Sarg_Kulo Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 I'm hoping for a sculpture ;) That sounds sick doesn't it?
xwingyoda Posted June 18, 2005 Posted June 18, 2005 Come on Phes, post your new website !!!!!!!!! If its as good as this one, I can hardly wait ;)
Governor Mister Phes Posted June 18, 2005 Author Governor Posted June 18, 2005 I'm hoping for a sculpture ;) That sounds sick doesn't it? Actually you could be more right than you know... But its not what everybody is thining... At least I don't think it is...
ApophisV Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 Okay, here are my thoughts: This just doesn't belong here. There is no discussion about it. We are a board that is completely open minded, we offer a place for everybody regardless of his age, origin, culture, language or whatever. Because of this we always should let this place look like a friendly one. We can have fun here, make jokes, show us funny things and such, and we also share our love for LEGO here. Those porn pictures are just nothing I would have ever expected to see here. They are surely funny for open minded adults, but we also get kids here. This whole thread makes the whole forum look somewhat dirty. It's no question of taste. Surely most of us can look at nude people or sex scenes or whatever without of getting a "soul damage ". But should we share those things only because we can? Why? To look cool? In my opinion, those LEGO porn pics aren't any creative work to show the love to LEGO. Somebody made them to offend people. LEGO was only the medium to do this, there is no real creativity behind this, it's just to annoy and offend. Imagine this situation: If there were a Barbie forum and there were shown pictures of, let's say, a raped Barbie doll. Do you think this would be right? I don't. Running a forum about a toy we HAVE to expect kids to sign on. And since we host them for the time they are here I think we have the responsibility about them! We, especially the Admins and Mods, have to protect them from things they just aren't supposed to see. And this protection isn't done with a "Hey, kids, don't click, you'll see crazy and strange things you aren't supposed to see, it's only for the grown ups, so don't click on this secret and mysterious link!" If some of you guys like to share those things, I would suggest to create a new forum only adults (that's a matter of two minutes) have access to, this way you could have your fun and still protect the kids, that are among us, from any bad influence. I know that some of you, even other staff members, don't think that way, but please think about MY words and YOUR responsibility for our younger members!
The Middleman Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I agree completely, Apo. I'm astounded that this got into the forum in the first place.

jonfett Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 To back up what Apo has said.. Sure we all enjoy a good laugh but there is a distinctive line between funny and offensive. Although I am not personally offended by this link, I still think it was a pointless thing to post. If people want to see things like this they I am sure they can find them themselves, but we don't need someone supplying our forum with obscure links for anyone to see. Let me use little-green-man as an example here, the other day we were told that he was no longer allowed to post at this forum as his dad did not like the idea of him doing so. What if every young member was seen by their parents on links such as the one that was posted here? None of them would be allowed back. How does that help our community grow? So in the future, please think before you post! How will what you post benefit the community and is it relevant? Jon.
Jipay Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 I stated before that I let this thread open. Since I'm still the one who decide in final here, I re open it and I would like the Admins not to close it again Thx...
Hobbes Posted June 19, 2005 Posted June 19, 2005 :yawn: This discussion is boring. I don't know why on eeeveryyyy message board there's at least one thread like this. There are Admins here who decide if a post sticks or not. If you don't like their decisions, well, then it's up to you to stay around. If you do you have to live with it. Discussions like this are more counterproductive to the community than an arguable offensive post... PS: If the links on the website hadn't said "Porn" I wouldn't have recognized "it" at once. They just looked like weird/funny pics...
DoubleT Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 To all Yes I agree this is on the border on what can be posted here..... But I think this MOC is made for the sence of humor, and are alittle funny to adults... And Yes I agree the kids should not see this, but mister_phes did post a warning, and only posted an link, not the actual pictures in the topic... But dont worry, nothing worse then this will be posted here...... So now you know me opinion ;)
DoubleT Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Oh forgot ;) Sometimes Admins and Mods dont agree, but that Democrazy.... And that why i like it, we cant always agree, so lets forget this... And Have fun ;) ;) ;)
xwingyoda Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Guys, I agree with Jipay and TT here ;) This was posted all in good humour. I thought it was really :D :D I agree however that some people can be offended by such a site. I just want to say that I don't want EB to become too narrow minded on the threads that are posted. I also agree that there needs a border line and that this site definitly represents the border. Now lets move on on more productive thoughts for our friendly and open minded community ;)
Cyclonis Posted June 20, 2005 Posted June 20, 2005 Far out...why did you even bothor with this "I've outdone my BlockDeath.com find" topic? Whoop-de-do! Were you expecting an award when you said that you've outdone yourself? I came to the MOC forum to see MOCs!! I didn't come here to find this. When I saw this topic I just assumed that you've found a way to try to 'rip-off' Blockdeath in some vignettte way or something Lego-esqe like that. Not by displaying bloody sites like these! This is dissapointment.
