    I know what the section is. It needs no explaining. I just feel it degrades the site a bit in general. Whether you have to join or not, the site is still sponsoring it.

    I could care less what gets posted. I'm not some guy that's never been exposed to anything.

    I just don't see a great need for this site to be supporting pornographic images, racism, or whatever else happens in it whether it is optional to join or not.

    K...so why even bring the matter up?
    If you could care less then don't b*tch about it.
    Another thing.......some members including myself were wanting a section like the "Free for All" so, it just didn't appear for no good reason.
    If you would have been following the thread a little more closely then you could of voiced your oppinion then but the only posting you made to that thread was you would like to see a "Sightings" section.
    Do you visit CGP and read some of the crap there?

    I could care less what gets posted because porn and racist remarks don't offend me, but you can't deny the fact it could offend some people. Therefore they can join at their own risk. I do like that part.

    I know the thread you are talking about as I am subscribed to it. Yes, I know many people wanted it.

    Yes, I am a member of CGP but I pretty much have only posted in the classifieds and the eastern members section because you can put "sightings" in there. You mention CGP and the things that are said on there, yet GPF, who so fondly built itself around the saying "we are not the other site" now is one step closer to being like it.

    To be honest I don't want this to turn into some big argument. Obviously the Mods know what they're doing, and obviously enough people are for this, but you are simply not getting the point I made and twisting my words a bit. It may be my fault as it's hard to interpret what someone says in a text setting sometimes. Basically, I never said I was against a forum like this, just more so against GPF condoning it.

    I have a very diverse group of friends. I live in Maryland so it's hard not to, haha. We crack racist jokes on each other all the time. We bust each others balls so hard our faces turns red in anger, then we just say "I'm just f-ing with ya, don't need a get angry!" Typical guy humor.

    I'm not going to lie, but I'm quite shocked Synthetic did allow it.

    Most of us on here are adults, but there are plenty who are not. Hopefully everyone can be adults in the section. I just fear something will get said and someone will get offended, say something, get flamed for them saying something in the anything goes section, and it then dragging over onto the rest of the forum and into others peoples threads. It's already happened between 2 members. Now if they both post on the same thread they make comments about each other because they got into it on another thread.

    Good Luck with the section. I hope it works out as planned for you all.

    I don't know who owns this board/forum it wasn't Synthetic who said he made the section it was Rocket.
    I don't know what has gone from one section to another but anything in the Free for All section should stay there and not be let out on the rest of the forum.
    People have to use some discretion when they post there and use good judgment and I think everyone has done so so far.
    When you say GPF is one step closer to CGP I would have to strongly disagree with you on that statement. I think one of the reasons the private section was created was to prevent this forum from becoming a CGP and to keep the house tidy.
    I don't see how it could hurt the forum I think it will only make it a better place.

    Just curious who those members would be, because I have gotten into more than my fair share of arguments with people on here and have been warned But this new section is amazing, even though I don't think I have posted but when the time comes I know I can say anything I want without a big fat slap on the wrist like before.

    Well I wasn't referring to you but come to think of it I probably could use you as an example, haha. You and WhiteDevil had quite the argument, but I don't recall it drifting into other threads after Synthetic locked it.

    Nope I don't like to carry things over, but I also don't like being restricted on what I can say and what I can talk about.
