Ready for Opinions, -breathes- Options

[*This Confession*]

Okay I was talking to Stefan on aim, I don't know you if you guys remember him or not. Since he got all caught up in school when it started and now we miss him dearly.

Anywayyy, back to the point. I was talking to him because I wanted his opinon on a idea I was having, and I wanted someone that was a member of cB before making a topic of it. To see if the idea had any hope it before wasting some thread space. Okay I'll just copy the convo. remove all screen names and just put what the main idea is: [er um stuff without a name is mine and then I left a short comment that stefan left beside his name to what I said.] Oh stuff in these [] are me too.

What do you think if there was like one little forum for like non Pg-13 topics. Since so many topics get closed because of the pg-13 rule. I mean most of the community is well over 13 years old.

Stefan: seeing as almost all of my comments go out to an over pg 13 audience usually.

And plenty of people throughout the community talk on the phone, so they got to be something around 14-20

Stefan: Yah
Stefan: [then he made this cute face>] ^_^


Yea I suppose I could add more, but I suppose thats good enough for now.

Hasn't this idea been brought up before and was summarily shot down? No wait, I think it was a request for a "college" community subforum or something, but is that really different than what's being proposed? Hmm. There were good opposing arguments but it's been so long ago that I've forgotten.

Anyway, a forum to serve the postings of non-pg-13 material would be hard to moderate and make the first rule in the Community Guidelines worth... shit? Unless it's changed, of course.

Thinking that it would be a "mature" forum is also problematic. Not many people between ages 14-20 are truly mature. And as you all have said before, there are some mature 13 year olds. Would you leave them out? And then, if you kick out immature 14-20 year olds, that would defeat the purpose of the forum. Unless someone can measure or define "immaturity", I don't see how this forum would work.
