Time for a NSFW thread???????????

[Clunk]

I don’t think we should underestimate the influence having one ‘private area’ accessible by a few might have on the forum long term.
I also fully understand that those who have access don’t need to look, but my view is that it is the absence of what some might find offensive or unpleasant which makes this forum one where we all want to be. I wouldn’t want to see that put at risk. We can each have different views about what influence a thread as being suggested might or might not have, but if I’m correct & it ends up having a negative or destructive influence, the problem is that it is too late by the time it is recognised. I’m no prude, but my preference would be for things to stay as they are. There are any number of other venues online for the ‘NSFW’ stuff.

And I totally respect your opinion Cuppa, I'm not sure if you read my posts or not but I'm not about turning this place into a den of ill repute, no porn, no racism etc, I'm just on about a thread that's a little more relaxed than what we have available to us right now. Think about how many members that used to be regular contributors on here in one form or another, where do they go instead of coming here? I know where and AB also knows, because it's also somewhere where I spend more and more of my time instead of coming here. You may think that that's not such a bad thing, you may not.
What I'm getting at is, although this forum was set up as a Nissan Patrol owners forum, it's started growing into so much more but it's plateaued. Yes we still have regulars but those regulars are not so regular. New owners and possible prospective forum sponsors have turned to Facebook which has affected this forum. According to the poll Bob put up, the demographic of the forum over 36 years old is 70%, so where are all those under 36? Why do they not hang around on here? Where am I going with this post? I don't know, I've lost my train of thought, had another crap day at work and there's nothing amusing to read on the forum to brighten up my night.
