Event Coverage Avatars, Profile Pages, and FORCED Censorship...

Wow, and we used to be worried about government censorship.... seesh!

 

Time to take the Journal to print! Classifieds, tech, etc...?

 

The bitter irony to this is for a week or so one of the ads I kept seeing was for a device that helped a mother when breast-feeding, you got to see everything but the "cherry on top".

 

Thanks for all your hard work Ryan. I know I wouldn't have the patience. Of course I'm 78 and don't have much patience for anything.

 

Don’t like it but it’s a small price to pay to keep this forum in the black.
Yes I think avatars should at least be traditionally inspired.

 

Sorry for the****y pic of my car.

On a serious note, I tend to agree that it*****s to have to deal with. But, that pics of traditional hot rods or customs are the most appropriate for this forum anyway.

 

I’m going to miss looking at some of them.

 

Stop bowing down to the man, man. . . Kidding.

 

Me too!

 

<<< No worries here!

 

At the risk of getting flamed, is there a list of your advertisers with this "puritan" attitude? If it is a company from whom I would buy a product, I would most certainly avoid buying from that company again.

 

Nope, don't need that. We got enough going on outside the HAMB, don't need it here.

 

The sad part of this is that there isn't anything in this world that doesn't upset someone somewhere.

 

First and foremost I want to thank you for the protection from the mind numbing infantile******** colon that is modern advertising. Personally I’d see that reduction in revenue as their attempt at making you expose the members to the tripe as well, have tried other forums but cannot stomach the bombardment of ads especially on a small screen, this is my happy place, please please keep it free from the*****

 

Ya know I just noticed no adds on the OT forum.
Ryan ya gotta do what ya gotta do, hope everyone who has a questionable avatar changes it PRONTO!!! 70% is crazy.
Just signed up for an Alliance Membership hope it helps.
Alright my fellow hot rod hoodlums time to cough up some coin and join the Alliance. If you’re like me you’ve been sitting on the fence for a while also like me you’ve spent the 50 on beer, cig’s, cigars, golf, junk food and who knows what.

Will our signature line be next to be scrutinized? Asking for a friend.

 

Are you now or have you ever been a member of the bad avatar party?

 

Boss, I can only speak for myself but I would think everyone that is a member here will do whatever we need to do to help you comply with the censorship fiasco. HRP

 

There is nothing wrong with being upset about something it's what people do with that upset which has become a huge problem in society.

"I'm not about to disrespect folks who see things differently." Far too many people don't follow this pretty basic tenet and think not following it is perfectly acceptable.

 

Ryan ew know that you are doing your best. Hopefully the people that are using / displaying in-appropriate avatars, or words will get the picture. Let these people shape up, or there wont be the H.A.M.B anymore.

 

Wow, just wow!

 

I'm no puritan and have dropped F-bombs and other language on the forum that I don't usually use in polite conversation.
It certainly wouldn't hurt my feelings to clean up my language if it benefited the HAMB in any way...and I'm sure most everyone would feel the same way.
I'm sure a lot of the "words" on the list aren't used by HAMBers, but I sure would like to see that list.

PS. Perhaps if more of you would become Alliance Members, maybe ad revenue wouldn't be such a big deal!!!
