I freaking love CB.

You guys taught me to cuss, and i'm forever grateful

You mean, "I fucking love CB," right?

[seraphina]

I hate uptight boards. I can't always follow the rules because I am a rebel. Hahaha I'm not really.

So the rules around here are very nice and relaxed. And screw child friendly boards, if I want to say fuck I will.

[lottacrazy]

CB F-ing rocks, I hated all the other boards I used to use, they were awful, plus I swear way to much...way too much editing.

love the nipple clamp comment, I am just afraid of them...weirds me out.

the nipple clamps things relates to a long dead thread. I should probably remove it.

No way. Nipple clamps are a proud CB tradition! Besides, it gives people a good sense of the tone of the place just by having that one extra sentence in there; yeah, we have some rules and serious goals for what we try to accomplish here, but we also tolerate (or a lot of the time even instigate) random diversions off topic and silly non sequiturs. It's obviously lower priority and not one of the main purposes of the site, since it only gets one sentence down at the bottom, but having it as the closing statement like a punctuation mark makes it memorable. How can one little sentence say so much? You can take my nipple clamps when you pry them from my cold, dead...nipples.

That's pretty great. I can't decide whether I like that or their Oedipus Rap video more. They both make me happy, though.

Great ToS!

I am sure an attorney would think it a bit "undignified" and "over the top", but it seems to cover all the bases.

Except, it seems, the concern one user here has about profanity. I would not worry about it, but if you want to be safe, restrict membership to those over 18 and state in the ToS that the site is intended for adults...and if the cybernannies don't like it? The cyberdoor is over there. Make sure it does not hit you where the Good L-rd split you on the f*^k1ng way out.



My opinion? From what I have seen of CB so far, "disguised" elements/relatives of the set of "the 7 words one cannot say on the radio" (used to not be able to say, anyway) are more than enough "taming" to get by the general public.

No need to do more.

I wouldn't have said we had very many underage posters anyway. And naturally, kids will join regardless of their age. It's simple enough over the internet to pretend you are older. I don't think that we should restrict membership. I only turned 18 last year, and had I found CrazyBoards earlier, I think it would have made my first year of university a lot easier, and maybe I would have gotten help sooner.

[Choosing_the_blue_pills]

I agree with darkthorn. People under 18 should feel welcome.

[nalgas]

If they're under 13, then there's some legal crap to worry about (while COPPA can and should go eat a dick, that doesn't make it magically stop existing). Other than that, if their parents have a problem with what they're doing, maybe they should try doing some parenting and <insert usual suggestions here about keeping computers in a public area and actually interacting with and talking to your kids etc.>.

I was trying to think of a good way to stick some gratuitous cussing in there, but it's too early, and I haven't been up long enough yet. Fuck it; I'll just post it how it is.

[observer]

I said--as a mere suggestion only--that users should be over 18 "TO BE SAFE"...for us (the old legal "CYA"). It's indeed NOT a protection against bad parenting or lying users, and is not legally required to be.

However, the old "YMMV" applies; I have no objections to younger people registering and using CB.

Never before today have I been cheered up by reading the rules of a forum site. I want to thank you for your humor, your appropriate lack of respect for certain things, your respect for our intelligence and sense of responsibility, your no-nonsense, your masterful command of written communication.

Velvet Elvis, whoever you are, you are truly gifted. Thanks.

Me three, and also a big kudos for rule number 8. You should have followed it up with 10 10 10 10 is for everything everything everything everything...... I'll forgive you because the rest of it was so awesome

Curses. Now it is stuck in my head and I will need to find the cd and play the whole song before I can fix that. Dangnabbit and confustications.

Crap. I'm confused. I just read the other comments. Can I say fuck or not?

To the best of my knowledge, you can say fuck as much as you fucking want to.

I think the majority of people swear, and those who don't make up for it by saying mean things without swearing or being snobs (i know this is a huge generalization).

If we were going to write a formal letter, i'd probably leave out the 'bad' words. But this isn't school and no one cares, and too bad if they do. And if kids come here - i'm sure its not anything worse than what they've heard at school. It certainly wasn't as bad as what i heard at school, and i went to a decent place.

I think mature people under 18 will gravitate towards here if they can related to people who understand things on their level. Younger people will probably mostly seek somewhere else more kid-friendly. In the end if you can discuss life issues, MI issues, behave yourself and relate to others... dont really think it matters how old people are.

Like Yahoo Answers, unfortunately, which is the "ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer" capital of the Internet and an awesome way to end up even less informed about a topic than you were to start out with.
