I apologize if my previous statement offends any of the mature young people here, that is not my intent.
I know I keep hearkening back to USENET, but back in those days - and the early text-only Web - all you had to deal with was words. There were plenty of heated debates, and plenty of immature folks dumping loads of immature text (even immature ascii art). But they were all words - I had no issue if my wife or kids were there, just as I have no issue with any of them reading the text on any of the forums I join now.
But as a fan of PSP and DS, I see too many sites where just browsing the forums is like mistakenly ending up on a questionable site. And there is just no reason for that here.

I agree. I don't want my kids to see animated version of many of the things people want to post - be they sexual, violent, or just plain silly even though I may enjoy them.
I am not the only one who visits the website though. Many younger people use the website and from a strictly customer service perspective, Goozex should not have people turned off by the site because their 11 year old saw a zombie eating someone's head, some hot asian chicks wiggling for the camera, or two male anime characters smooching.
I think that this community, which I view as one of the best on the web, can suck it up and handle this respectfully and with maturity. We all like to have fun here, but if the G-Team puts the banhammer down on something, they do it for a good reason and I hope we all respect their decision.

txa1265:Serious opinion now: I like to share this site with my family, so they can get stuff they want. That includes my wife and two kids, and if my wife sees some of the crap that has been here in the past, she won't want the kids on there without supervision. This is *supposed* to be a family friendly site, not the typical place for 18-24 year old boys to show off how puerile they can be.

Like when they nixed the 'No DLC required rule?" I kid! I kid!
I agree with you though. There's no real need for the majority of those style gif files here. Quite frankly, I don't care for many moving sigs to begin with.

I think you would be well to read Txa's above post.
See, simple basic parenting, or just block the site(s) all together.

Someone that isn't a parent telling an actual parent what "simple basic parenting" is. Just thought I should point out exactly what was happening there.
mrkekeru:But there's nothing for kids to see on the forums, just a bunch of nerds.
lol!

Didn't you know? Kids always follow requests from the parents such as, "Don't go on that website."
So if my 8 or 5 year old is sitting with me while I am doing things on the computer, I can't go to the Goozex forums? That is a special kind of stupid reserved for those who can only eat with a spoon.
Ok, let me just say this...So everyone gets all bent out of shape about animated gifs, granted that they show up every time the person posts, but forum threads with pictures of half naked women are okay??

No, we have actually PMed that chucklehead to cease and desist as well. The main difference between the two is that one offers a thread title, so conceivably one knows what they are going to egt when clicking that thread. The animated gif issue can pop in in any thread that person replies in, making it harder to screen for.
That makes sense. So, can we have an Official Tentacle Sex thread, officially?
That way no one has to go without their tentacles, but it can be easily screened by parents so our younger users aren't forcibly inundated with tentacles. Then txa could just be like, 'son, is that the Tentacles section of the forums?' and Mafafu could just not browse that section when his children are awake. Everybody wins!
Especially tentacle monsters. They always win.
Japanese school girls, not so much.

Anyway this is kind of a moot point, has anyone actually posted and obscene animated gifs in their sig? The only ones I've seen are G-nitro's asian models and some anime stuff.
I was just about to put this in my sig, It's not that distracting is it?
