    I don't like the fact that Lanzman's first official duty was to censor a forum.

    Sure the white room wasn't the greatest forum, but it did serve a purpose. It had a function. It was a nice overflow for material too objectionable for the red room. And it was a nice divide for stuff you didn't want turning up on your work computer.

    What happens to those objectionable threads now? Deletion for those threads that Lanzman's job doesn't like ?

    How long before his job doesn't like certain avatars ?
    Or a certain political view ?

    Why would you take ownership of a bbs if you didn't have complete freedom to run it in the first place?

    Look I'm sure Lanzman is a swell guy. And if he wants to run the site and pay the bills fine.

    But if this job thing is really going to be a problem, then why not just stick the site in someone else's name? Slap Tamar's name on the paperwork, who cares. Then Lanzman can run the site and his job will be none the wiser.

    Win. Win.

    As I've already said several times, I've no plans for any further changes.

    You're a less subtle troll than you need to be.

    Since it's a petition more than an actual question, this is a fine idea.

    I'm glad the White Room is gone, and that Lanzman is trying to be pleasing to the Lord. :D

    Ok that was Moronic. :PGT:

    Nice way to make something he did into something you would do. :PGT:

    He gave his reason. There is no reason to change it into something religious. Religion has stolen enough stuff, you don't need to try on this one as well.

    Edit: In conclusion :muad2:

    Depending on the religion, Lanz could just as easily be pissing off the God/Goddess....

    I wonder what a Wordforge run by Parallaxxis would be like.

    holy crap what a bunch of whiny babies you porn addicts are. having porn on the Forge is like keeping your collection on the coffee table. The Lanz will lead like Adama. doing what is right can not be popular with the half-witted masses.

    I never came to wordforge looking for porn, but it was nice to have a place to discuss, you know, porn related news. Like if some star's cell phone pics were stolen and released. Or like the funny 70s shoot'em up porno where the black guy burst through the wall. Mildly entertaining stuff that just gets buried in the red room.

    What's the point of even having other forums? Might as well just keep one big red room and delete everything else.

    You can still discuss it. Go right ahead...post a link even....just don't post the pictures here.

    It's not that dire, folks.

    Sub-forum to the Red Room?

    The off-white room? Ivory room? (Cream room? Hehehe).

    Specifically for sex-culture, but without the aim of sharing fapping material, like the white room was.

    Parallaxis, you should visit boinkology.com, it's one of the sites I read every day, about sex and sex culture in the media.

    That's actually a good argument against having a White Room, if such topics get so little attention. But I take your point.

    It would be a Very Special Board, with bright colors and fuzzy animals...and lots of gay midget porn pics.

    If there's no White Room is there really any point in there being a Wordforge any more?

    That was the only interesting thing about this place that made it more than TNZ-lite.
