Why did crash bars go away?

[Desolation Angel]

BTW:  Sorry to have hijacked the Crash Bar thread here with the pubes thing.

Hey, no worries!   BUSH comes before BIKES in my book any day!

I wonder what happened to the idea of "no profanity or porno" on this site. C'mon guys, fun is fun, but can't ya keep it a little cleaner? I like this site, but if this is the norm, I'll be history. Go ahead, throw everything you have at me, but I don't care. I think it's gone a little too far here.

Yeah, content of a more 'adult' nature belongs in the clubhouse forum.
   I do want the majority of forums to be readable by the general public.
Sometimes, things do kind of go astray...and often I'm the one leading them!
   We rarely get any complaints about the content of the messages, but, I think a little restraint can't hurt.

I agree.  I just went back to pull the pic but "someone" beat me to it.  Sorry, little buddy!  Try not to be too sensitive, though, it's a guy site and we don't mean any harm.

Whether it's a guy site or a gal site makes no difference to me. But, I'm not here to start fights. I'd just like to "commune" with other bandit riders without all the extra "stuff".  Hey, I like to "look" just as much as the next guy. But, I shouldn't have to hide it from the "boss" if you know what I mean.

I don't know what else we can tell you but "sorry".  Can we move on now?

Please.

I hate to respond to a problem by creating a bunch of rules.

  I think after the last board crash in the spring, I forgot to replace the rules regarding 'pictures', or they aren't real clear.

  Generally, 'scantily clad' pictures are OK in any forum.  The key word is 'clad'.  
  Anything involving nudity, belongs in the 'Clubhouse' forum.    Pictures depicting sexual acts aren't allowed.
   I'd prefer no profanity, but heck, I can't understand what the Aussies are saying half the time, anyway.  I think they're cussing!
   
  As much as I'd like to provide a place KIDS can learn about bikes, this isn't it!  
 There's a disclaimer on the top of each page 'Over 18...)

  The board is targeted toward the tastes of the average adult rider.
  I would like to see more female riders participating in the board, and have offered in the past to give them a separate forum to escape our good natured, testosterone driven, banter.

  The 'clubhouse' forum is kind of an experiment, and allows a little more 'adult' content, but, despite repeated requests from Landry, and our members in Australia and New Zealand, I'm not going to allow  graphic depictions of bestialityinvolving sheep!
  (just checking to see if any one is reading this....)
   

   I probably haven't been policing the threads like I ought to, and/or haven't made the rules as clear as they could be.
   I'll talk to the other ADMINS, and see what they think....if we've been screwing up, who we can blame besides Landry, etc.

Hopefully everyone here is an adult.  I think the Ladies Only forum is a good idea.  'Cept the guys will be all up in it, as they say.  They are, on the GS Resources site, and others I've seen.  The word "Only" is irresistible and MUST be ignored!  

Oh, and in the spirit of cooperation and togetherness allow me to post a pic suitable for both the office and for tiny children and which incorporates both a fully clad female and a really cool motorcycle.



Of course, her reclined position could be construed as provocative...
