Video hits, Al, Video Hits. They've seen it all before. Here we are worried about some animated GIFs and a few lewd jokes and out there you've got "Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?". Let's get some perspective, man!!

G'day,
I failed perspective in Tec Drag at school. Whatever anyone does, some poor bloke will always take offence, if in doubt a group hug and a bonding session with singing Coombya does the trick, if that doesn't work there's not much else we can do to help those who call blackboards chalkboards and fishermen fishers.

I've always called a spade a shovel.
Another glass of that lovely Shiraz if you please, my dear...."I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."

Carry - We actually have the ability to block children from these forums until the site is checked out by parents and approval given, etc. It is called COPA (Child Online Protection Act) moderation we can put it in place and enforce it if required.
Pretty sure we also have is the ability to block avatars from their view and restrict them from certain areas like jokes, etc. that might be classed as politically incorrect.

I think this forum is very welcoming. If I can get on board, a female to boot, and be welcomed, supported and laughed with then yes, this is a welcoming board.
