whatever happened to the babes forum? (hehehe)



i just loved that forum.

Moved to Site and Forum Issues.



The babes section was taken down originally because of the load on the server (when attachments were enabled). Also, it is not something that fits in with the image of a tech news site. There are plenty of places to find babes, try searching google, or maybe going out even.



In all seriousness, a babes forum doesn't fit in with Neowin's image, it is hard to moderate and its not about to come back anytime soon.

The babes forum was moved to site and forum issues??



actually, things got out of hand and the whole dropping of attachements lead to a lot of non-legal linked images on our site....

There were complaints. But too,admin felt (from what i remember)that a babes forum, ultimately was not really what neowin is all about. In order to be a successful and respected site, it was in our best interests to lose the babe forum. It had no place here, and it is my opinion that neowin is better for it. Just consider for a moment that the majority of our member base is quite young and you will come to understand that it was not such a great idea. That is my take on it....

Weird. I thought i had moved it. Damn, how spooky

You did.



I replied first though, while I was expanding on my post...thinking it through...you guys came and picked at my original post. :cheeky:



Gotta be fast around here.

Bah....thread hijacker:P

Not to throw a monkey wrench into that, but are you sure? Taking the ages shown for birthday's today, the average age is 25.



Also, most other days the average age seems to be around 20

There was a complaint from a stupid troll named "concerneddad" (or something like that). Server problems, etc. I miss the babes forum.

/me likes having tech news, tech talk, and looking at babes at the same time... as long as their good parts are covered up...

I will concede to that but regardless we do cater to a young audience too and is inappropriate material for these age groups to be viewing. And as aco has pointed out, it was very difficult to moderate. We could not limit access to said forum, based on age. It just was not feasible. All the complaints did was help open our eyes to what we were really doing. It showed us just how bad an idea, the babes forum really was. Neowin isnt about smut. If you want that, there are other places for it i am sure.

It's easy to find HQ babes anywhere on the net in about 2 seconds, if you want to spend your time doing that.



Neowin really doesn't need a babes section, no matter how 'fun' it may be...the site is better than that.



Has anyone noticed that even the number of 'Babe Desktops' in our monthly desktop thread is dropping month by month?

yeah I agree completely. Neowin definately is better without. Never questioned that. But I guess I was just surprised to see that our user base isn't as young as we thought it was. (the 25yr average was news to me too!)

*registers www.neobabes.com*

wth... that site exists, lol!

You can always make it a .net, .org, or even a .tk (free)... there are so many domain extensions out there...

Perhaps, getting rid of the Babes forum, will attract some real females/babes to this forum... maybe not... I am hoping I meet some soon

Try takeing off your star wars costume turning off your computer and go outside

LMAO

I used to visit a forum called Celebrity Breast Forum Emporium 2 , but they were SHUT down. Because the forum had nudity, but it doesn't matter that I linked you, cuz the site is all gone now.



I don't know if that moved to a new one, I would like to know myself So, if you know then PM me, please

i would like the babe forum to be back.........i missed it soooo much...............^^

well - if you want porn - search for it.



(btw - sorry- i edited your posts to reflect the change in mine.)

Are you allowed to post that here? Minors might follow it :ponder:

that link should be removed, shouldn't it?

My link?



Dude, the site is shut down and gone for good!

Nope. Mr Magoo's!



Peace.

Omg that was so up front. Lol funniest thing I have read all day.



I think that you should create the babes forum, but make it so that you need to apply to be able to get in and use no attachments. It would be great.



Also, make a Sports Forum and remove the PDA forum. We really need that.



And JediXAngel, arent you the same (guy) that was asking what DRESS to where to a job interview.. really confusing.. are you like a lesbian transvestite n ****? Whatever.

I think the "real" ones already here may be put off by that statement.





If they see this thread, they'll all be scared of you anyway:



http://www.neowin.net/bboard/showthread.ph...&threadid=31245

it is now only for mods and admins to enjoy

i think we should do a poll and see how many percent of neowin wants it back and decide if it should be brought back or not.................^^

I came to the site and it was around for a hot mouth I think and then i was gone I never knew why, but now I do.........and iff you guys really need a babe forum them your really are that bad off.........

Well tell take a poll and see what ya think.....should we have it back or not....

"we can't because people will eventually post porn" - neowin mod

even though we all want them me too

but i say no cause neowin will become more of a trash site

hey, the poll thing was MY idea........^^

iomayho you were to slow but yes it was yours first

we (supporters of the babe forum) will lose anyways because moderators can edit the poll results................^^

Vote people vote tell them how much you want it...cause I don't

I have brought back the Babes Forum and all you have to do is type in the name of the Babe that you want! It's that simple!

After running the age poll and seeing so many people under 18, I would have to agree with the others and say No. As much as I would like it, there are plenty of other sites for that.

I don't see how hard it is to find porn outside this place?

Yes and also we have lots of large size image when the forum was there and it sucks to load those for people with 56K connection.



We told them not to do that...but oh well they didn't listen so we remove the forum.

Like i said before If you need a babe forum then it show really that your that in needd to leave your hose and find a grl frind or something...........

oh come on..its just a fun place for people to post babes and talk about it .........thats all.....................i know there are lots of porn sites out there but thats NOT the purpose of a babe forum..........

plus there is no nudity on it so i think it doens't matter if you're 18 or not........................

Do the Ladies get a hunk forum?





anita

lol yeah we cant be sexist to the ladies now can we? u can use this Hunk Forum for all ur personal needs. Just type in the name of the Hunk you want! It's that simple!

Anormal --- that is a good one









And yes it truned into a porn heaven towards the end so you pretty much had to be 18 but there no way to stop none 18's from find the stuff

Not exactly the image a Tech site wants. :right:

i can post my picture if you really want it so much.......^^

who merged em?

post away let see what ya look like
