So why exactly were people bothered by this add ô_o ?

No soul gem large enough.
I'm almost disappointed I didn't get a chance to see the controversial ad. Damn you, adblock! Ruining all my fun. :sadface:

Tell them it's just an ad on a site because some fellow was the highest bidder?

I can see why some people would be offended by the ads, but I myself wouldn't care one way or another.

Kudos to RENE for his quick work on removing the ad. I think with such a diverse poster base they were bound to offend some people (they were in distaste IMO) but it also made visiting this awesome forum while at work a bit tricky for others.

Phew...I had no idea I was missing all this excitement. Usually ads like that are all over less than reputable sites, so I hope they go away quickly. It doesn't bother me on a personal level, but I can completely sympathize with those that it does.

The content didn't disturb my personal peace. I don't do anything on a computer that warrants hiding it from anyone. I also have a child in my environment much of the time and content of that nature is not welcome on my screen. If I want to see content like that, I know how to find it and will do so but it is inappropriate for it to simply happen upon my screen unexpectedly.

That all being said, my thanks to Renegader for getting it all sorted out.

I just signed up to the forums to see why my son just walked up to me and asked...."Dad, what exactly is an orgy?" :sadface: Yes, I let him play games like Skyrim because it's not like he doesn't see blood/guts in normal tv shows, pg movies etc but I was not expecting him to come ask me what an orgy was! It's the 2nd to top ad saying 'one click for a Roman orgy.' Oh jees. :sadface:

Awww no, now you have to explain to your son what sex is. Oh, the humanity!

it wasn't the fact it was a fleshlight ad guys, that actually makes it sound more innocent than it actually was.

It was a totally naked blond squating down next to an, admittedly, pretty damn realistic artificial vag that was as big as her naked body.

It's not worth harping on, I know Renegader had no personal say on it so it's not like he intentionally put it on his forum and I'm actually really impressed with how quickly he took it off. All in all while it wasn't pleasant to have up (haha, it made this forum like a weird guilty pleasure I felt compelled to hide from the gf and daughter), it was only up for a day and the quick action to remove it only proves this is the best skyrim forum on the internet. And if I can't play Skyrim for whatever reason, I damn sure like to read and talk about it.

Case closed in my opinion and the whole thing gave me more respect to the forum and to Renegader, personally, for his quick action and listening to the forum members. I had no qualms about purchasing the upgrade and I recommend you guys do the same, it's a great site to contribute to. And, just as I look forward to playing Skyrim for a long time to come, I'll enjoy this forum too.

haha! He has had the sex discussion and is old enough to understand it. However, he isn't old enough for me to tell him about Orgy's yet! lol Maybe I'll let his mom have that discussion with him. :D

Orgies are gatherings where more than two (usually a whole lot more) people have sex with each other.

Done explaining :p

Or even easier yet: Just tell him that orgies are really, really wild parties where people lose all restraint. Remember, “orgy” has a non-sexual component as well! Especially when it comes to the ones that the Romans threw. Sure, they probably had sex on those as well but I think the ad was hinting at the gluttony (what with all the booze and grub) at those orgies.

And when he tells his schoolmates that his last birthday party was a total orgy and leaves out the part where it's because he had a lot of fun and he and his friend did something really crazy like jump in mud puddles.... Yeah, no thanks. Might be funny until someone sends child services and cops to your door.

My daughter, at 10 years old, asks me about whatever she wants. And I answer her truthfully in language that is meaningful to her at the time. I didn't get into the nuances of genetics with her when, at 3, she asked why my eyes were blue. She asked me again when she was 9 and we talked about DNA.

It's my choice as a parent when and how to explain anything to her at this age. If I let her on a forum about Skyrim, i expect her to see content that relates to it.

Haha, this won't happen again, ads are now on manual-approve so it should be all good now.

The new ad is awesome!

Sorry if any innocent eyes got hurt. D:
It Hurt man...it hurt.



Maybe it was a little exciting.

Well, then perhaps Renegader should require a minimum age at the registration :3

After all, ads might not be your only concern from what you’ve said. The TOS say little about the content which users are allowed to post so one of us could post some NSFW pictures or videos (Skyrim-related ones, of course :p ).

True, i'm starting to notice a lot of female avatars on the forum now. They haven't contained nudity yet, but it could happen.

One should only try to “protect” one’s children so much. Unless you don’t mind having to watch their online doings every time (and put up with their complaints) it’s pretty much impossible to prevent them from seeing porn at some point. And even in the aforementioned situation it is possible that you get a random porn pop-up (not to mention viruses).
