Adults Only Forum

[pphalan]

There is away to do it, self managed by the users with no age limit, A serious talk forum where you can be voted out by a majority of 60% or more and set up where a minimum amount of votes are needed. That way the mods deal with language and flames as usual but the comunity decides when someone needs to go for thread crapping or just being a irritating prick.

No it is not. Not even close.

Well you have to have strong language,
I’m more concerned about who’s going to correct my spelling

pphalan, thats very true, but then its not exactly "exclusive" for adults because its still possible for anyone to get into the conversation....just if the maturity level is jeprodized, then the hammer comes down...which is how the forum probably could be like to begin with...

People seem confused. Here's a simple way of looking at it; consider TechIMO as a city. A city without a bar for adults to hang out in. Wouldn't it be nice (and I'm not asking the kids) to have a place for people who are all adults to chat?

I don't see the relevance of "oh, half the adults here act like they're 13 anywhere so this idea is stupid" arguments. I'm aware that some people may "act" quite "youthful". Not my point, nor does it really factor into the basis of my suggestion.

just make the forum invisible & no indication to it being there, to those who didnt enter a birthdate before the age requirement date, it should work fine
n some rules become invalid in that forum

another forum i visit is set up like that, n works fine

[EXreaction]

What about the guests? I am guessing you would just hide it for them as well...

Let's attack this situation from a different angle. The idea has been tossed around before, possibly as part of a subscription plan that would include no ads, more storage, custom titles, larger avatars, etc. What would it be worth (as in $) to each of you to have a relatively uncensored adult forum category as part of a low-cost subscription plan? Essentially, using a credit card for verification and minimal regular payment is about the only way we can effectively stop minors from accessing such a section.

Take note, this is a personal interest question at this point, not a specific planned project for TechIMO.

Seriously though, I like this idea. A forum for everyone that is 18+ years of age. I vote yes.

yes a place for rational people... tho where ever we go there will be the foolish intel fanboy. think we could get a AMD forum aswell

Pay to be verbally abused??? Now you might be onto something..

Or perhaps it would divide the have members from the have-not members (the adults that can't afford the dues) ??
