Title: is a "what do you look like?" thread completely banned?
Post by: hydra on May 08, 2009, 09:45:31 AM
hi,

i remember a "what do you look like" thread being banned months ago.
would it be okay to start another one or am i missing a new thread? i remember that thread being a lot of fun but i guess people got carried away...

let me know and i can start one or one of the admins can.
PS: i have no idea if it's even taboo to even suggest it or even if i posted this in the right section, so please excuse me if i'm out of line...

thanks,

russ

Ah, you remember that gem from TOB?  [roll]  That single thread--and the aftermath--basically took over a month of my life.  I don't even think that ole man ducpainter had joined at that pt.  :P

Nutshell:  Someone was nice enough to post a pic of their significant other sitting on a Monster with Ducati related bumper stickers over her breasts.....not band aid size stickers but full size bumper stickers.  BTW, my mother exposes more flesh when she wears a bathing suit to the beach and she is 70! 

Anyways, someone interpreted the whimsical and fun photo as "suggestive" and that was enough to start a shitstorm and we had a hilarious and proactive member basically leave the site.
