Some of us work for a living. At real offices.
And unlike government workers, we can be fired. Janet Jackson got in trouble for less. |

I think the question of whether nudity should be allowed on the BBS ties into the question of how much you want this BBS to grow, and what you want it's image to be.
If it's a place for a relatively small group of guys to BS and talk 914s, then pretty much anything goes and the self policing model works pretty well (we're all still here, right). Obviously 914club has always had an outlaw image from the beginning and I think generally the people on here dig it. I know I do. It was a refreshing change for everyone from what was available before 914club existed. However... If you want it to be "the" place for 914 info then you are undoubtedly excluding a certain portion of your target audience by not making it more PC. I can totally understand the point of view of the parent who doesn't want their kids to see the crap that's on here, or the guy who is reading the BBS at work just at the wrong moment when his boss walks by... Some people who could have been a part of the 914club scene are going to be turned away by the actions and words of a few members. I also suspect that some vendors and more formal organizations are not going to take the BBS seriously unless we behave with a certain level of maturity. I think in the end this will all work itself out. But for now I have my avatars off so I can keep my job, although sometimes at home I will turn them on to see what the big deal is all about.
