And this is a forum dedicated to simulating war...

No, this is a forum that pretends to focus on games simulating war.

What we really do is heckle each other and derail threads with comments about boobies.

There is a difference.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

I thought Nef's were the best.. I'm not a fan of the fake water balloon looking Dolly Parton racks..

Aye.

The couple different ones I put up were all natural hand-fillers.  Not plastic can-crushers.  ;)

Fascinating...

Didn't think that some people coming to this forum were that sensible (being a forum for mostly wargames, shooters and such). I have seen no nudity and don't see any questionable moral problem here (maybe some bad taste but that's different). Imho, the title of the thread should have been different.

I would have more problems to see someone killed or the promotion of weapons...would the people who complained be shocked by that? Don't think so but i might be wrong.

The question is also...where's the limit? Does it mean that no women pictures or gifs are allowed...at all? Was my Salma Hayek also of "questionable moral character"?

The title of the thread was a joke. It was meant to be tongue in cheek. It's really not a big deal. There is no reason to over analyze this. Complaints were made, we reviewed them as a team and a decision was made. Just move on. Are the gifs THAT important to you?  The focus on some of the complaints was that the gifs were NSFW and there were some concerns that female coworkers could be offended if they observed some of the gifs. As a result, some people were choosing not to come to our forum.

You forget that outside the forums, grogheads is a professional website that attracts game publishers, developers, writers, academics, etc. we want to have a clean, mature look...for the most part. Doesn't mean we can't have fun. Anyway, I'm not sure I see the connection between wargaming and sexy gifs, other than the fact that a sexy gif is the closest some wargamers will ever get to a beautiful woman.

Nothing indeed...but this is the case of most avatars in the forum, they're just there for fun or individualisation of the profile. Case closed for me  ;)

PS: i did change my avatar before you opened this thread... :)

Cat porn is always creepy.

Yes, but it is nevertheless welcome here. When the staff voted on this, your vote tipped the balance. Were you high again?

Does this mean we can have bouncing boobies as long as we superimpose cat heads over the girls faces? ^-^
