    On the one hand, SC is not that kind of site, plus many minors visit SC just for the Arcade. Overt porn would seem oddly out of place there, IMO. On the other hand, most TK Mine Fielders are gay or bi, so they won't appreciate the kind of porn I am fond of. I guess I must suffer in silence until the White Room is reinstituted by decree. In the meantime I am amassing an arsenal of material for when the White Room floodgates are reopened. :D

    Overt, yes. Cait doesn't like that.
    But you are aware that there is an adult section?
    We could put it in there.

    I still see the White Room. :unsure:

    Maybe you didn't pass the improved age verification, Grammour Boy.

    Well, I can't imagine Tera Patrick spreading her nether regions wide open with her fingers in a pictorial posted to the Adult Section of SC. Maybe it's just me, but I can't fathom that happening there nor the severity of the backlash it would generate. SC is a much too civilized board for that kind of stuff.

    You disagree with the question, "Is the white room down"?

    What's there to disagree with?

    Ahem...

    That's not a question, that's a statement. Given that you are patting yourself on the back at TK over this it's obviously a gloating type "hey look at me and the trouble I am still causing!" post.

    Ok, what's going on? I tried to follow that link to that announcement, but it said it was an invalid link.

    That would suck majorly given the fact I was the most prolific White Room poster over the last few months.

    They disagreed with your post. I can't blame them, you and your TK friends started this whole nonsense that got it closed down.

    That's one way to look at it. But a more accurate description of the events leading to the closing of the WR is that several weeks ago I made an innocuous inquiry in the Help Desk concerning the ability of members under the age of 18 to view WR threads--a legitimate concern for parents like myself who are interested in preserving online safety for youngsters on the internet. Then somebody at TK read my post here some several days later and posted about it at TK, not here. Then the room was "temporarily" closed. That's how it really happened.

    One other correction I'd like to make is that you wrote, "you and your TK friends started this..." If you knew anything about TK you would know that I am amongst if not THE most hated member there with no real friends. In fact, not too long ago I was the subject of a nasty campaign to drive me off that site. Therefore, your statement, "you and your TK friends..." is patently a misrepresentation of reality and I must respectfully take issue with that and ask you to reconsider retracting that statement.

    Thank you.

    So what did happen? Is it really an age verification issue? Wouldn't it be easy to change the White Room membership to a mod approval process? Anybody without a birthday in their user account gets a no, as does anybody under 18. Sorry, Foil!

    That's what it's over?!?!?!

    Agh, the minute I quit as a mod, this shit starts happening.

    You just know I'd've been hurling punches over this.

    Yeah, but as to who exactly will be doing the mod approval and the process for it is still up in the air.

    Sorry to confuse then, I just saw that darthsikle was thanking you for bringing it to his attention.

    Regardless though, there will be no warnings issued. The policy is against rep warring, which this does not constitute.

    I'll do it. And I'll liven up the White Room while I'm at it.
