Again, the site you link doesn't make me hopeful—they're a U.S. site, have presumably taken legal advice, do not post anything pornographic, and still feel they must have an age-18 restriction.
Did you read any of the personal stories there?
Perhaps not picture wise, but reading material wise, I would consider a lot on that website to be pornographic.
And that's me talking
I've said this before: my concern here is a legal concern, not a moral one. Right here and now the risk is phpbber pulling the plug on us, not so much lawsuits. After we move and change ownership, I doon't know what the risks will be.
That's kind of why I would like to see us move to a co.uk site or some such. All we would have to do is agree on that, and most of this discussion would be unnecessary. Frankly, I can't help but think that that would be a good thing.
We just need real answers. It would be useless for either "side" to win its argument in a knowledge vacuum, and it's pointless to go on slugging when understanding the law would settle the problem one way or another.
Very true. The question is, do we try to find those answers ourselves, and hope that the person/people doing the research aren't biased one way or another, or do we try and find an unbiased outsider to do it?
I made a mountain out of a molehill when this whole thing started, and I'm afraid that other people followed my lead in that. Between all of us, we've managed to turn it into a bigger problem than it was originally. Now, it's just trying to make it better.
Kind of like cleaning a house - it always gets dirtier before it gets clean.
