I haven't had any problems with you or the board. So don't shoot the messenger. I don't know what has happened in the past between you and Ron. I do know that he feels that you personally insulted him and his family. Yes the pics were inappropriate, but I see pics everyday on TV and news stands that are just as bad. I think you both owe each other an apology.
There is no history, that was simple... I agree with you that you can see things just like that on TV and Internet and movies but that doesn't make it right for this site........

Item three... How would you take this comment?

Sorry to say that thrasherfox has left the board. He's had enough of the Captain's BS.

Not intending to shoot the messenger I just made a statement in my previous post.

I guess I missed that one, searched and the post has been deleted I think.I'm not new to censorship as I live in the UAE, and I've got to agree with the capt. if someone was offended by some pics or comments and reported it, then the capt didnt have a choice but to address it.Wives and GF's are sensitive areas,I've only seen a couple of posts that were questionable IMO,I've read alot! I'm sure Thrasher will be back at some point,I'm just glad to be a member of a board thats more than informative, morals,family values,and respect are all touched on regularly here with the utmost of care,occasionally there's the comical punch in the ribs, but all in all this is a great site! Hope to see here again Ron! Tony.
 
Let me add one more note. I absolutely hold the long time members to a higher standard, you guys have been posting here for years and absolutely know what the rules are and why we have them in place. It's one thing for a newbie to post a questionable pic, its completely another to post an image that you know is inappropriate and make a comment that it won't be long before the image is removed......... I expect leadership and guidance from the members that have been here awhile. This site is what you make it, my job is to simply facilitate the place to put all the information.

Keep it clean.........

On a lighter note, when we first started the site in 2001 I was working on the computer all the time building the site. My mother in law came over for dinner one night and she very calmly said I went to your website last night to see what you have been working so hard on... (I married the preachers daughter) Anyway she said I went to the pictures ( I was about to cry because I new what she was about to say) I saw a bunch of pictures of girls laying on bikes and wearing bikinis and things like that. She didnt approve, I respect her greatly and since that day I have the Mother in law test..... What would she say to me if she went to the site....... Its a pretty good standard to go by.

No hot girls on bikes Cap....? Come on now, we are all adults here...

There are tasteful pics dont get me wrong, but images of a gal bent over the seat of a bike?

Let me throw this out there, the images that were recently posted that caused all the raucus didn't even have a bike in them...... There is a post out there now, something like show me your girlfriends... There are some very tasteful images there.

Tasteful is good...

I probably should've "quoted" a couple of letters, I'm man enough to apologize for that. I saw all of the pics and only one was a repost. If it was you or Rev that pulled the first pic...and would have made any kind of comment such as "that's enough of that" I'm sure it would have ended right then and there.
 
We all gotta follow the rules ... thats what we agree to when we register.
But I liked Ron, he'll be missed.
 
Sounds to me.... the rules are the rules... if you can't follow them, there is a problem. If you have a problem with Cap... You probably should have taken it up with him and not post tastless stuff on the board... ;)

I hear your tone to defend your freind... Loose it... Let him come defend himself.

I gotcha Cap, Hopefully Thrash Will be cool his jets and be back. I cannot imagine this getting to far under his skin. This isn't new policy...

This board is not about posting pics of naked chicks.... There is a million other sites out there for that. If my kid had come around th corner and seen those pics or one of our other members pulled that up at work a sexual harrassment charge could have easily been filed. If your wife wont get naked for you and she doesnt do it for you go somewhere else and get your jollies, not here not ever.

This is the comment that "probably" thrasherfox got upset about and the one BA busa "probably" is basing his opinion on.

I say probably, because you'd have to ask each of them personally.

I do think the Cap acted appropriately by removing and continuing to remove the pic.

I do think the Cap could have handled it better. Such as, "This pic is offensive, end of story, don't post it up again." There was no need to mention thrasherfox's wife, etc...

If this site prides itself on none offensive material, such as girly pics, then it should pride itself on not being offensive to its members.

Lastly, I think a lot of people are over reacting and taking the situation personally. Relax people, I doubt thrasherfox was trying to anger the Cap by reposting the pics AND I doubt the Cap was trying to anger Thrasherfox.

Hey Charles There were no "naked pics"....the whole matter was handled very poorly....and yes the wife comment was what did it.
 
Yeah, I was just quoting the whole paragraph so it couldn't be said that I took it out of context.

Thrasherfox was a good member,

sucks it had to go down like this.....
 
yea... Cap probably could have handled it a little more professionally... but...

Everyone gets an attitude now and then... Everyone has a bad day and takes it out on the first person that dares to get on their nerves... We are all people with different personalities, let's be tolerant of each other... Don't let pride ruin a perfectly good freindship/relationship. If you made a mistake, it never hurts to say you are sorry. People will respect you more for it...

(Not saying who should say sorry, just talking generically.)

I thought long about what I put on the board and I never react because of emotion. I run a website, I should not be forced to patrol the board from the very members that use the forum. The rules are posted, it was offensive to many thats the reason I received notification from several members. I removed the images, they reappeared with comments. You guys are somehow mixing this up with someone that didnt know the content was inappropriate. Not only were images put up but comments knowing they were inappropriate and would be removed...... Re read the post and see what replies were put up about the girls in the pics... You dont need to see the images just look at the responses. There wasn't even a bike in the pics.... Why would you post that garbage on the site if it wasn't to display a woman to the group to gawk at? If you guys are waiting for an apology it is not coming... I took action, now if you disagree thats fine but Im not changing my mind.

There are some things I will not bend on no matter who it is. I like Ron but i gotta do what's right for the masses. We have had great success with keeping this site extremely clean. No porn, no sexually explicit pics, work and kid safe... I will not be responsible for somone losing their job because they opened a post at work. I will not be the site that you have to worry if your kids are looking over your shoulder. If there are folks that disagree with that then so be it, Ive said it for the past 4 years, go somewhere else no hard feelings. Those types of things are not going to happen here.

Cap,

I understand your reasoning behind it, and I support you in it. I understand why you are so passionate about it also. I practically married the preacher's daughter myself.

I just think you couldv'e went about enforcing the standards a bit better than what you said to T-Fox. You said some pretty harsh stuff man, on a public forum, I wouldn't be happy either. Now I am sure he feels like the black sheep. Couldve sent him an email...


Just my opinion bro. For what it's worth.

Take Care,

-Bill
 
Capt - Props for you on helping keep the site clean for all - I certainly don't want my wife to get upset that I am looking at Porn - (it's okay that she's upset that I spend too much time though. I looked at the first couple of pics and agree that they were probably outta place. At the same time, I enjoyed Ron's previous posts and commentary and am sad to see him go. I hope he comes back.
