I have changed my avatar because several members have found my self picture offensive. Hope my new avatar is more likable. Hash

it's epic..

The nude of your lower body was both informative and an indication that you are comfortable with your new body. How could a website on eunuchs find photos of eunuchs offensive? One of the major issues we address here is that castration is not a ghastly mutilation, nor freakish, but a choice for some of us. Your body looks great and I hope that you change your avatar back.

I'm not necessarily opposed to nude pictures, and I certainly didn't complain to you or anyone else about yours, Hash, but I am glad you changed it. It makes it easier to read the boards in a public place (such as work, for instance) or at home when there are others around who have no business checking out weenies, when I don't have to worry about jumping to minimize the screen all the time. I have always hoped for EA to start using "Not Safe for Work" tags or a two-click rule for NSFW images, but that's just my lowly opinion. I likely shouldn't be reading EA at work anyway.

When such avatars are on topic and not intended solely for sexual trolling or titillation (my judgment) I leave them up. On the other hand, I don't particularly care to see those kinds of pics on the boards. While I have no problem with viewing explicit photos, I would prefer to do so when I want to, not when someone else wants me to. I appreciate you taking it down.

While there is a shingle at the front of the website that says under 18 not allowed, there is nothing that really keeps them out. There is no police man other than Kristoff and Paolo and obviously they can not be online 24/7. They both have other lives. They can not look at drivers license and other ID on each person that enters the board. So, we members should bare that in mind. If you don't want your 10 year old son, daughter, grandson, granddaughter looking at a picture, you should not be posting it.

Thank you

I did not find it offensive it dose make it easier to view the E.A. with others around

Personally, I would think that if you are worried about those around you seeing inappropriate (NSFW) avatars at an adult site, you may want to consider simply turning them off. Then you just have to worry about people reading over your shoulder. Heheh.

OBB has a good point.

About eight years or so ago, I didn't have any kind of security on my computer, such as a log on with a password. The link to the Archive's control panel was a rather complicated one at the time, and I had it bookmarked. I got up one Saturday morning and found my then-six-year-old nephew right smack in the middle of of it, happily clicking away at links! What excitement that was!
