yeah, i understand what you're saying dan, but people that run these forums don't always think the way you or i do...
on the chicken forum, we can't even talk about the dude that was killed by a rooster at the cockfights because they delete the thread... i think that's so stupid... a chicken forum's off topic should be the best place to talk about that kind of stuff... but the admin/mods don't think so... so that's the way it is...
if our admin doesn't want to see a bunch of potty mouths or whatever, he has the power to take that stuff out by mods or himself... if i had a forum that had sponsors, i wouldn't want chaos to run it... but if i had a forum, it would be ridiculous and insane...
