think back to almost 2 years ago when the rules were first made. Britney was relevant, Gaga could push albums, and Hannah Montana was a good Christian girl.
This is my fear tbh, mods. I don't have an explicit avi and I don't blog, but I don't want you to come for what makes the forum fun for others when you could just as easily come for what makes it fun for me.
Sis, I was being sarcastic. It's like some of you think the level of "oppression" taking place with these new rules is on par with the persecution of communists and Jews in Hitler-era Germany
The decision was already made and no amount of discussion or differing opinions will change it. Are you guys forgetting that the explicit ban came directly from THE SITE OWNER? Like, think back to almost 2 years ago when the rules were first made. Britney was relevant, Gaga could push albums, and Hannah Montana was a good Christian girl. It wasn't that long ago. We tried being lenient but people kept pushing their limits further and further.
This thread was opened to respond to any questions regarding content and the future. You guys can complain if you want but the policy is sticking.
d. I hope that the mods don't think that I am trying to overmind them or anything. I actually really like a lot of you. I'm just trying to get my opinion out there because it's always good to hear feedback, right? Maybe it will help the forum ~as a whole~.
I understand the frustration with "THEYRE NOT LISTENING TO US" but can someone offer an opposing argument other than we want it? How are the things we're removing from the site going to hurt it other than not liking the change?
But ultimately, the decision of what type of image ATRL wishes to portray to the outside and to incoming users (when registration opens again) should lie solely with the site owners, and they made this decision. Things like "would you rather do vB5 yet or wait?", that involve simply the functionality of the site and ease of use, are different and should definitely be deliberated by users.
Just kidding 
Maybe it will help the forum ~as a whole~.
