    Cloud has closed it down pending a review.

    tuxy pulled a nasty Republican trick, and made up allegations about our history so that Cloud would look the other way, and tuxy's board would get more [strike]votes[/strike] posts.

    :p

    That link didn't seem that bad, actually it was very hardy, with links to non-porn things aswell, seems odd the forum would be closed because of that, and not for past actions which got users banned. I really don't understand all this tuxy stuff. god damn newbie scum!

    That's sweet ninja Jesus actually. I believe The Illuminati merged with them not long after consuming The Kittencake.

    yes, because illuminati + kittencake + ninja is a force to be reckoned with...

    nothing I would have thought, as it's a private forum and if you don't wish to join you don't have to.
    Also
    they weren't bad pics, they were artistic ones! ;)
    I'm not impressed with the person who hung us out to dry, tis not as if every thread was like this, just some of them, which again, you don't have to look at if you are bothered

    I agree with Beruthial.
    Illuminati has been around a long time now and the content is restricted to those invited to view it.
    It's private.
    I think it's a bit much in a private forum to be imposing religous style morality on it's users.
    You do that and you lose the members or at a minimum píss them off to the extent that they get disillusioned with boards.
    I've spoken privately with a few long standing posters who feel that way already.

    Theres no porn in illuminati at least that I have seen, just classy arty models, stuff that I can see in any news agent or with a simple google.

    Down with overboard moralification *

    *tm

    lol, taking the high road.
    Glad it shut down, people 'round 'ere were having too much fun anyways.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    Earthman iv already disgusted this with cloud and he is totaly aginst content of this nature on boards ( even private ones )
    and most people that have been members on boards agree its a dictatorship what the admins say goes


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    First off it was not a direct link to porn. It was a link to a site which had many cool images and also a soft porn sections.

    Secondly its not like the admins don't keep an eye on those forums.

    Third its abite piss poor to shut down a forum and not at least say why it was shut down or give a warning first. In the past we have shown that we can take care of these types of things in house so to speak without it going all over boards.

    Finally, it's a private forum, where most of the members know each other from boards beers/college/whatever, I doubt theres anybody under 18 in there.

    Az actually done a pretty decent job moderating that place for all its worth.

    it was posts like this that got it shutdown

    I see and could you tell me why, this kind of content has been tolerated for years on illuminati.
    From the very first weeks on illuminati it was made clear what was and was not to be posted there,I've seen no deviation from that by it's loyal members, nada none nothing in the time I've been there.
    There has been one banning and that was moderation in action.

    What do you mean you've discussed this with cloud. while I'm impressed that he blessed you with a private audience, he hasn't seen fit to make his views on this matter public, in either the forum itself or this thread. So forgive me if I don't take your word on this matter. Illuminate has been around for a long long time, the content hasn't changed such since it was founded.

    it was not private boston it was in this thread here
    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=196969&page=1&pp=20
    where he said no porn was allowed even it it was softcore
    I see and could you tell me why, this kind of content has been tolerated for years on illuminati.

    Well , as I've said,I've never seen porn on illuminati-just models/arty stuff.
    If anything questionable was ever posted there it got deleted.
    So I don't see the justification for the close down.

    If there were links to soft porn on the site tusky linked to in a thread there, why not have the page reference deleted in the normal way and a stern warning or a weeks ban or whatever to Tusky.
    Why punish the entire invited illuminati section of the boards community, particularally when their postings are moderated and private

    To be totally fair on this issue, one would have to have to ban google, given that any child can unclick moderate safe search when surfing that site opening up a world of p0rn.
    I mean, the contents of many PI threads leave nothing to the imagination, is that going to?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,983 ✭✭✭✭tuxy


    it was still funny to see some of the reactions but im ending it now
    by pointing out to anyone that hasnt copped onto it yet
    seamus was taking the piss when he said it was my fault ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 88,972 ✭✭✭✭mike65


    PI = Anal Sex and "watersports" Illumiati = Healthy bodies. Which is more "corrupting" if any?

    Mike.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Hmmm, just noticed this.

    Illuminati and Slydice Specials are two different forums. One is for a group of people who have been around here a good while, who wanted to talk about (legal) stuff that would be a bit strong in the public areas and the other is for Slydice Specials (threads with bootiful babes/blokes in them).

    I dunno whats goin on here though... :eek:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,397 ✭✭✭✭azezil


    well all i have to say is i never allowed porn, "no cocks, no minge" ... anyone posting explicit material was banned.

    the age old problem of define pron


  • Posts: 0 [Deleted User]


    Sexually explicit pictures, writing, or other material whose primary purpose is to cause sexual arousal.
    Thats from dictionary dot com...

    playboy was banned for years in this country as ye know and *ahem* so were condoms... unless you produced a marriage certificate.

    wikipedia discusses the definition of sexually explicit.

    I'd be all for the heavy moderation of any pictured sexually explicit material even on a private forum, by that I mean , well you know what I mean ...

    But in a private environment , censoring FHM type material, boobies some ass and adult discussion on what goes on between the sheets and a host of other things best suited to a consenting audience limited to those that expect to see what is presented ... nah thats a bit parental to be honest in my humble opinion.
    I thought illuminati was a place to see some totty , talk about it,discuss things out of the public gaze etc
    But it was deffo a place for arty totty :)
    It would be nice to see it re-opened and just ban the asses of anyone that crosses strict boundaries of taste and decency or who posts p0rn.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Why is this getting bogged down in porn debate. Maybe a hangfull of threads where related to porn in anyway, most other risque stuff was doggy jokes, abite of trolling, some other crazy and general antics


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,080 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Did it get shut down because of that link I posted ??? I didnt know there was porn in it !!! I only looked at a few of the pictures ( there were 1000's ) and all of them were shantily clad but not even nekkid.
