I would just like to add, these changes are not being done just for the fun of it, nor are they being done at the behest of a single person, this really is about the viability of the site in the long run.  Stairs and Mark set up this site after the moderator group approached them to look into the possibility of rescuing the  old one.  This was not possible due to Bonner, so they took it upon themselves to set this up and provide us with a stable platform to continue the "family" we had going.  Its fair to say what they have created is better than what we had and I for one am happy they did that.

As time has gone by the membership from there moved over here and we also picked up a few new members as well, but the site needs to grow and it needs to be financially self sufficient as well.  The fact that Google has downgraded the site due to the amount of adult content means that access to revenue from advertising streams is also being limited.  Currently they are paying for the up keep of this site out of their own pocket, and they are happy to do so, but logically that is not a long term preference, so the site needs to have a grade that allows sponsorship/adverts to be placed on it.  

So at this stage a few words are now filtered, but no where near as many as we saw over the last couple of days, and we would ask that members refrain from posting any pictures containing nudity or are of an overtly sexual nature.  I know this means our lucky tits and arses (note there are no **** now for those words!!) will have to be left to our imagination but surely we can still move on without them??  As regards the swearing you will all soon see as you type what is acceptable or not but I ask for your assistance and common sense with this please.  

I know some of you will not be happy with this, and believe me the debate behind the scenes was just as passionate, but this truly is the best course for the site as a whole.  I hope we do not lose anyone over this, as imre said we have become a bit of a family over the last few years and I am convinced we can still be that for a long time to come!!

But I can still post my Betty Grable pics can't I?
