View Full Version : The Fate of the Sex Forum

This has been bugging me for a few months, but fabfunk's latest masterpiece is the last straw.....
In theory, the Sex Forum should be more Loveline, less rotten.com. It certainly started out that way. Liberal nudity, with a few actually interesting articles and threads thrown in for good measure.
At the moment, however, despite Diva's sincerest efforts to turn it into the Internet's leading source of celebrity n00dz, there's very little separating it from the email I got last night about my penis disappearing forever because there's not enough horse porn in my life.
I wouldn't so much call this a call to shut the forum down so much as a call for something/someone to justify that forum's existence besides dead pornstar eulogies and seeing Carmen Electra naked for the 18,376th time.
Either way, something's got to change. Banning fabfunk from it would be a start.
If that can't be done...well, I'd be lying if I said I'd shed that many tears over never seeing another thread dedicated to Peter North's ejaculatory prowess.

Why? Why Crow would you make me look at Fabfunks thread?
That is just....
fucked up.

Yeah, I have to agree with Crow.
Completely utterly agree.

Yeah. It's getting pretty ridiculous. Fabfunk is a creepy mutha...

The sex forum has often had weirdos in it. Just search the forums for posts by the user wetbones for some seriously fucked up shit.

And you people said I was mean.
Charlie Brigden
03-03-2006, 12:15 PM
Yeah, but the main issue with that is that Wetbones thankfully disappeared a long time ago, whereas Fabfunk is still very much here and posting.
Gabriel Williams
03-03-2006, 12:16 PM
I honestly think fabfunk only rates a 5 on the Wetbones scale.

Well, couldn't we just maintain guidelines? It's not like I'm going around the Sex Forum posting sick shit whenever I like.
I think we're all civilized enough to clean it up on their own. I didn't realize my thread would have that kind of affect, and I'm sorry, fellas.
Let's establish the taste guidelines, give it a month, and if there's only minimal traffic after that, we close the forum.
Charlie Brigden

Personally, I'm not even sure there should be a Sex forum. It's not like it's hard to find porn on the internet, and I'd much rather not have any evidence - visual or anecdotal - of some of the more vocal morons around here participating in such acts or, god help us, actually breeding. But I guess it's Nick's call.

No. He's as much as a dick away from the sex forums as he is in it, so he matches Wetbones speed for speed. At least Wetbones decided to go and find somewhere where he could discuss graphic rape in peace, at least I assume he left for the Dread Central forums.
Dang, it's like Fabfunk just painted a target on his chest with that one.

Add him to your ignore list. Simple as that.
Well, a moderator who has a presence would be a start. As kitty recently got married, her attentions are needed elsewhere. She PM'd me before she disappeared to keep posting in the Sex Forum, so I throw up some n00dz every now and then. Personally, I don't care if the forum stays or goes.

I'm with you on this on Diva. I could moderate the forum, I view just about every thread posted on the boards, but I could easily care less if the forum stays or goes. People are pretty good at posting NSFW warnings in the thread titles in the other areas.
Certainly the forum isn't living up to this disclaimer:
Sex exists, you're proof. If you can handle the topic, discuss it with Uncle Mitch. Be intelligent.
No one seems to handle it very well, and not much intelligence going on in there. And I'll be damned if Uncle Mitch has shown up once to give us his thoughts on the birds and the bees.
Brad Millette

Handling sex is one thing. Handling every random disgusting link that some jackass finds and dumps here is completely another. The forum is only tangentially about sex. It's just about people like fabfunk trying to be as disgusting as possible.
That's... exactly what I was saying. No one's using the forum correctly, or very few anyway. It's become nothing more than a joke.
Brad Millette
03-03-2006, 01:10 PM
Oh, I thought you were implying that being grossed out by that shit means we just can't "handle it".
Sorry to have misinterpreted you.
How exactly does one use the sex forum correctly?
I mean, when you put a sex forum on a message board populated by sc-fi fans and college kids, what do you expect to find? An examination of the Kinsey report?
Slater

Let's change it to the MILLETTE MISINTERPRETS STUFF forum.
Andrew Clarke

What about the FABFUNK MEMORIAL FORUM?
Brad Millette
03-03-2006, 01:18 PM
I'm cold blooded.
And balding.
And also mean.
Did I miss anything there? Bob? Slater?
Slater

Actually, with the overall intelligence with the rest of the boards, yeah, that is what I'd expect. Obviously though, it's not going to happen. I definitely would not miss the sex forum. It's out of place, and seems to be nothing but a weirdo and shill magnet.

I expect to find something resembling healthy sex talk.
And maybe, occasionally, a topless chick wearing a stormtrooper helmet.
Brad Millette

Hmm.
I guess I'm Victor Fries, then.

I'm just curious, if you did have sex with a zombie, what that then turn you into a zombie also?
Andrew Clarke
03-03-2006, 01:27 PM
No, it wouldn't. You'll be fine.
Peter Venkman

For a forum you guys seem to despise, you sure seem to be looking in there quite a bit.

Is the carwreck analogy overused?
Brad Millette
03-03-2006, 01:57 PM
Yeah. I think we should move up to something like a trainwreck.
And in the analogy, the train should be filled with adorable puppies.
Justin Clark

The trainwreck was filled with adorable puppies, Copperlocke's notwithstanding.

I always thought this stuff about Fabfunk and dead women was just something he said in passing which others had twisted to make a joke out of it, but that stuff is actually quite disgusting. Why would anyone waste their time looking up that kind of shite?
Brad Millette
03-03-2006, 02:27 PM
Because, and I'm going to say this again:
Fabfunk is a creepy, obnoxious twat with an obsessive fixation on pornography, and a pathetically desperate need for attention.
Are we all clear on this now?
Richard Dickson

There's at least two parts of that statement that apply to several other people in this thread.

When the forum first started, that's exactly what happened. People talked honestly and openly about sexual likes, dislikes, first experiences, etc. Then it turned into posting n00dz of celebs and at some point it turned into posting n00dz of Chewers -- CHUD Boobies thread, woo hoo! -- showing the naivety of many Chewers who thought CHUD was our little secret. The forum took a very sharp turn when people started posting disgusting video links (forget Tubgirl or Goatse, the girl shooting eels out her cootch and the vomit porn is forever burned in my soul). I am truly sorry that I ever participated in those threads. The recent crop of necrophilia threads is really just fucking creepy. I'm not sure that the Forum can be salvaged. With the snarkiness of most Chewers these days, any sincere talk of sex will end up with Chewers derailing the thread with snide comments. I say shut 'er down.

I don't think that's true. I've participated in a few threads that were started and executed maturely and intelligently and they never got derailed. I think that's still possible. But really, it doesn't matter to me one way or another.

There's several words that apply to you, but I'm far too polite and demure to mention them here.

That contradicts your cold-hearted, whiny description.

Sorry, Werbal. I just couldn't think up a snappy way to call him a holier-than-though pussy ass fuckhead.

Best new word.

Who said I was talking about you?
I mean, I was, but still.
And I never knew though was holy. Must be something the kids are into these days.

I missed the original postings that Fabfucked made that triggered off the whole "Hey you fuck dead people" thing in the first place, but for fucks sake, that Porn of the dead crap is just juvenile base filth. It's not even sex. If there was a "Raw Filth" thread maybe that would be appropriate but there isn't and it's not.

There were several of them. All dedicated to porn stars who had recently died. Basically it was "So & So is dead. We'll honor her memory forever. She was a great person and we all love and will miss her. Here's some pictures of her snooch." There were quite a few of those if I remember.

I don't think the forum should be destroyed. I think all the weird threads in there have driven the folk that did have intelligent conversations in there away. Maybe it just needs heavier moderation.

Radb707

I do agree that the sex forum shouldn't be destroyed. I mean the only reason justifying its death is creepy fuckers like fabfunk and other people who derailed the damn thing, which can be solved with better moderation.
I mean...if the forum is destroyed...where else are people gonna talk about sex or post pictures of sexy women?
I think to get the forum back someone MUST post a picture of a decent looking topless chick in a stormtrooper helmet.
