I'm sorry TAO for any offense i'm about to give you, but, i just need to ask this simple question?
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU THINKING?
I mean, really? You put in a filter to put out vulgar swear words, but you add in ads with topless, bikini, and ect woman?!?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!?
i understand that this might be a sponser of yours... but at the same time, there is no reason to have those kinds of pictures. If anything they will make the people like me to leave, and people that like swearing, vulgarity, ect, ect to be attracted to this site.
I understand that this is your site. I respect that you have the right to do what you want.
But to say in our "contract" that we can't use vulgar stuff- including images, and then putting them in the website anyways... DOES ANYONE ELSE SEE SOMETHING WRONG WITH THIS?
You need to remove these images. Trust me, no good will come from keeping them.

They are the default UGO style ads, a bit racy but nothing we can do about them.

Side note if they have the ugo logo in them we don't even get paid for them they are just place holders.

jaydude6 take it easy will ya its just an ad, your not forced to click it :)

Becides they proided enuff room at the bottom so most of us (i think) dont even notice them.

true... thats why i'm not flaming about it
(like i said, sorry if i offended any TAO staff at that time)
and i was kidding with the loaf of bread... and he did give me permission. By law if someone gives you permission to hurt them you can do it.
I don't think that applies to "certain" things though... if you know what i mean...
well, getting back on topic, i just don't want to accidentally scroll down, find a breast i'm looking at (even if the.... details are hidden) and have to quit TAO forever- just because they took a sponser.

One note I'd like to ad, (excuse the pun:D) But for the forums you have to iether be over an age, or have your parents sign a waver form allowing you to be here. The forum is a different case from the servers.

However I respect your intentions as they are most noble.

On a side note, to true s.k.o.f., to true.

I don't mind the new ads. I just don't wanna scroll down while my parents are watching and see Ali Landry in a bikini;) Besides, these things are not that racy as most things. I'd put this in the category that Play Boy or FHM is in. Ali Landry is an actress, and it wouldn't be too good for her career to have nude pics of her floating around on the internet. BTW. I did some research about UGO, and found out that they follow TV rules( can show the breast but the nipple. Can show butt, but not the crack). So don't expect seeing anything too bad in their ads, or on the site. Besides, Ali Landry is super hot:D I gots no problems with her ads.

jaydude. these ads should not be offensive to you. maybe if ure like muslim or arab (dont take insult to my stupidity if im stating the wrong religion) and u cant see anything more than a face... but if you have seen the internet, this is probably the cleanest site out there.

This site is fairly clean... lol especially with the filter and such. I mean you goto a place like newgrounds and its like woah porn-town. But anywho... I like this site, and ads are always needed no matter where you go on the internet... just be glad it isn't something like ANIME XXX click now!!! RAR! Or pop ups for that matter.... oooooh I hate those.

Ah, Newsgrounds. I remember seeing an ad there that advertised live webcams and chats on a hentai site...

Just to get the record straight I'm part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints AKA (I'm a) Mormon.
But at the same time there's more reasons than Mormonism that i avoid pornograph.
1. i got exposed to it when i was in 7th grade. one time. it was not a happy year for me.
2. for those that misread that post a few weeks ago i said i never intentionally looked at pornograph, but there have been a few accidents. (aka i didn't know it was rated R, it was HBO, and i didn't know that strip clubs exsisted)
3. I know what pornograph does to you.
4. I refuse to get any addiction of any kind in my life. Thats why i'm leaving videogames for 2 weeks starting tomarrow.
but i will agree in the area that TAO has kept this site clean, and I'd like to thank them for that.
I just ask that they keep it that way- i like this site, but i will not let that stop me from avoiding pornograph.
but i will stop complaining about the bottom ads- i'll learn to be careful.

lol at sektor again...
Actually Jaydude, I have a lot of respect for what you are trying to do. It is nice to see someone actually stand up and risk their reputation for something they believe in...Too bad there are not more Protestant christians who could stand up that way...probably why protestantism is quickly becoming shunned and so many other religions are gaining in popularity...
Keep it up!!!

I am trying to give some props to Jaydude here so please dont turn this into a religious debate!!! That is the last thing we need here. if you dont like what I said or have a rebuttle just send me an email or a pm. But that isnt an invitation.

Rescorlian

No this should not be turned into a debate. Besides religious debates always end bad. I know I've had many. Made the mistake of having one with a priest once. Ended up getting banned from the church and being called a hethen several times.


But why I'm actually posting. I'm going to back s.f.o.f. jaydude does deserve props. That is reputation threatening. So good for you man. I'd like to ask a rather personal quetion as I am curious. If you choose not to answer that's fine. Why did seeing pornograph, ruin your 7th grade year?

jaydude,
i think it is great to avoid all things like that, but i would like to let you know, i have clicked those links (many times of course) and there is no nudity. its just women in bikinis, which you see everyday where i live, in florida

Rescorlian
01-07-2004, 08:21 PM
(DROOL!!!) bikini clad women in florida, sweet! I wish, I live in Canada. You only get that three months of the year. The rest it's below 0 celcius so they're al bundled up. I'm jealous!!:D:D
