I surf FE these days with the "official" skin on. I must appreciate Safin for the wonderful addition of Tagging. It helps me to skip the threads NSFW

xXx

^ Ditto

though i dont use official skin...there are many links which are not updated

Ninja

remember tiny bikinis and hand covered assets is always classified as soft porno in my dictionary.

Good point sirjee! Now that we have user groups, one can post such photos on these groups rather than public forums

I too stay off photo shoots at workplace. The tags in the title of the threads have also been a good indicator.

I'll be honest. There isnt much on FE to keep me hooked.

I'm back thanks to Bluffy. who sent me a PM requesting me to vote for him. That was when I came here and saw all this nonsense!

Anyway, I think for this election, I'm just going to be a foreign observer(sorry bluffy). But I really dont know whom to vote for. Let me see how this election goes and then see whether the winner actually does something worthwhile to keep me coming back.

I log in to FE only once in a way to play some games in the arcade, but that's also very rare.

Personally, I have no offence with the photoshoots section. I anyway dont open FE at office and in home, I have the privacy of my room. I'm 22 years old and if I say I dont like looking at beautiful young women, I'll be lying or there will be something wrong with me.

I do agree however, that some of the pics are quite explicit, but then, that is what gets members here. Sex sells. Unfortunately.

Buddy, you have been a part of FE right from the begining. So I only thought it wise to remind you of the current situation. Obviously, I would want you to vote for me, but more than that I would want you to vote. Every vote is valuable and will play a crucial role in deciding the future of FE. You can read the manifestos of the candidates to have a better picture. My only advice to you will be to cast your vote on the basis of merit and not personal preferance.

I am not sure if you know this, but we now have user groups on FE. You are always invited to join our little "Girls not allowed" group.

@Medpal : I do not visit photoshoot for this very reason and neither do I create any such threads. No, I am not a saint , I have other sites for such needs. Somehow, I do not like the idea of having such pics on a clean forum like FE. Adult Jokes on the other hand are a completely diferent thing altogether. I would anyday support adult fun threads because well they are fun to read. But not photoshoots.

But thats my personal opinion. As a member of the management we also have to keep a track on what sells. And unfortunately like nikhil said, such photoshoots bring in traffic. But as I have said it before, I will always value members more than guests. Guests are essential for our site but our community is more important. Therefore if the majority of the members have a problem with certain photoshoots, decision can be made to fullfill member's demands.

Well if you search for new posts on FE.

The resultant list throws up a list of new threads or old threds with new posts.

It enumerates everything, from Introductions to sitenews, to feedback and to photoshoots.

It between those lines someone standing over your shoulder asks you what do you see can you deny that you selectively watch or read other posts?

Every one here on forums may have privacy of their own PC, Room, but there are times when you need to surf in presence of others, what do you do?

There are chances of someone cross checking you once in lifetime, like that happens in that HCL Leaptop ad

BTW this post comes as a member not as a moderator.

I know there are counter arguments that Sex and photo sells but at what cost?

Yes Doc, I think a filter like we have on TE is a solution to that. One can decide which sections to include when searching for new posts. For example, even I get very annoyed when I search for a new post and all I get are TP game threads.
