Then Video reminded me of it in post I read. I think an more adult forum would be nice.
Something as simple as a matching pic and a copy of a persons ID for age verification.
Do I have any support guys? Not necessarily for porno or anything, just for more mature content that we cant usually post on the other boards.

yeah, how can I have forgotton that the mod closed one of my topic due to the fact that he doesn\'t know rather or not the girl in the pic is over 16 or whatever.
anyway, I\'ll definitely give some sort of ID to show that I\'m over 18 so that we can have a forum that we can do the adult things.:p

I don\'t think the ad companies that PSX2C have (Burstnet..) would be happy about there being a section devoted to more "mature" content.. I myself used to run a .com wrestling website, and my account was terminated for adding more "mature" content.. And it was stuff that was not necessarily porno as luckee mentioned.
So it all comes down to the ads..
No ads = no revenue.
No revenue = no site/forums.

Dude, we aren\'t talking about a "mature" section. It\'s not like we are going to post nudes and stuff. We are just saying that if we want to talk about something that is on the edge of being risque then we don\'t have to worry about it being closed.
I also think this would tone down sex talk in the Off Topic forum.
Actually now that I think of it, the OT would slack off quite a bit because all the cool people would come over to the adult section.
As far as giving ID or whatever to know if someone is mature. I think it\'s something you gain access to like our defunct tribal dragons section.
It\'s pretty obvious after seeing people post who the youngsters are and who the more adult college + people are. We could make it a private thing where we actually vote who gets in or not. We could even max out at 20 people and the only way to let new people in is if someone dies. hehehe. Just kidding, but anyway. This will never happen anyway so peace out...
I almost forgot. Serran wrap mentioned something about ad companies not being happy with an adult section. Having already said this isn\'t a vulgar section we are talking about. Just a place where we don\'t have to worry about stuff being closed for very weak reasons. Do you really think Ad companies would have a problem with an adult section for people over 18? Huh??? Are you nuts? Um, people post ads to get money. How many people under 18 make over 70 grand a year? I have a feeling ad companies couldn\'t care less about you sub 18 year olds. As a matter of fact they really only care about 18-35 year olds.
Oh, and on another note. This is the most action this suggestion area has gotten in months.

heh well i doubt that the id deal would work though
i mean come on i could make a fake id easy if i wanted to
also you cant go by the bday in the profile - those can be easily untrue as well
but other then that it sounds like a cool idea to me if we could get it executed properly
-
If I was older, I would be in. Since I\'m only a teenager, I miss out on all the fun.

Again I say it\'s a private place. IT\'s pretty obvious who should be in the forum and who not..
-
yea it would need to be setup like the Tribal Dragons if we did make it
so it would have to be an invite only forum more or less
and i agree you can prove if you are mature enough for the forum and if they end up not being mature enough they can always be kicked out of the forum

I agree, Its almost more than obvious who should be in and who shouldnt. Plus we can always get rid of em :)
**EDIT**
BTW.. WHere is the input from mm,bjorn, and the rest of the movers and shakers on this one? :D

Oh man then kids like me would have to visit a more immature Off Topic forum and miss out on the QUALITY posts. I think it would take a lot away from these forums.

sorry guys, cant do it
no way to prove age or identity
all anyone would have to do is scan thier older brothers ID, and who would be the wiser?

Howabout the honor system :D
BTW: you suck if we dont get our forum ;)
Seriously though, I\'m sure there is soe way we can do the age verication thing short of a CC or similar.

I know from personal experience man. These ad companies WILL check up on you if you seem to be getting alot of hits (PSX2C does get a fair amount right?). These people aren\'t dumbasses. They\'ve learned from other websites. One example would be me.. :). I used to have a pro wrestling website that had like wrestling plus picture galleries of some of the ladies from wrestling. This pics weren\'t nude or anything, just like bikinis, tight clothing, whatever. We also had a bit of "mature content" at our so called forums.. minus any pictures being posted. I guaran-damn-tee you that they will terminate your ad contract if more mature content is added. Only if I had the email that was sent to me advising me what to take off or leave on my site.
Oh well, no need to talk about it anymore as MM shot down the idea. It\'s cool.
:cool:

Again I have to say that we aren\'t talking about posting illegal child porn here.
Not only that, but all you need is anything stating that the person agreed that they are over 18 and you are not liable. You need no proof. Haven\'t you ever noticed all the nudie sites just ask you if your over 18, that\'s it.
We just want a place where we can tell a dirty joke and not have it deleted.
-
yea i feel that having the entry be by a few selecting the mature crowd and then also having a 18 or older warning before going into the forums at all time would be sufficent
just something to consider
-
Yea we absolutely need a place to post porn & stuff.

SmallLady, will you marry me? ;) :)

Well I didn\'t realize how many adults posted here. I\'m only 15 (and proud of it), but I think that our senior citizens would want their own forums to escape my fellow adolescent friends stupidity.
Although I won\'t get in, I think an adult forum would make this place more popular.
Age verification? Send in your Social Security numbers or Credit Card Numbers, or something...
Or, are we just wasting our breath (....) cuz\' this will never take place?

You sure about that??:shy:
-
Yeah, adults would probably feel more comfortable knowing they\'re around other adults.
But who am I to talk? :rolleyes:
-
Its not about making the site more popular, mainly just so we can discuss things that we cant discuss in OT b/c of the wee ones.
I once knew a man from nantuckett......
Opps, nevermind :D

A good idea,BUT useless in my opinion. 90% of the members are here to post and read info on PS2, other consoles,games, etc. It\'s just a luxury to have an Off Topic. I see no need in having a "mature" forum. If you want to tell dirty jokes and stuff. Start adding friends to your friend list and send em PM\'s.
ANd I\'m not knocking your idea. I just don\'t think we really need one myself.
