    I have no problems with the bikini thread and that type of content being here, but there are users with well founded concerns. Maybe take it back to the "private" club (Silver Subscribed)? Keep the public face of FerrariChat.com a little more respectable as not to scare users away before they even give our community a chance?

    Two thoughts:

    1) loss of traffic to Fchat, and the inevitable 'unsubscribed' versions will have to be shot down on a regular basis

    2) charging people to see content that may be infringing on others' copyrights could be problematic from a legal perspective.

    I'm gonna' say leave it alone for now unless more folks complain and even then compare that against the total number of users who don't complain.

    Apart from the legal implications, I'd like to hear what the two main contributors think, personaly I think moving it to silver would be a good idea, Less public facing porn isnt a bad thing (does anybody have any demographics for viewers if the bikini thread?)

    Uh-Oh, Brokeback F-Chat. Send the whiny sunsa*****ez over to Steve and I. Puritans.
    Even Enzo had a few on the side, where the he11 do you think Piero came from?
    BTW, trivia for the tifosi and Telaioti...what is Piero's mothers name, and what was Dino's mother's name?
    PS what are their SPECIFIC concerns? PM to Steve and I is OK, if I can be presumptious. We actually police the thread pretty well, and nudge but never cross the line, usually :D
    Except those darn avatars ROFLCOPTER

    Isn't there a thread in the subscribed area that is no holds barred?

    I don't know cause I'm a freeloader, but perhaps the good stuff would be on the subscribed side and the family beach pics in the free zone??

    Yes, will be a bigger pain for the mods.

    Possible, so far the legal consultation is content remains the responsibility of the user until FerrariChat.com is properly notified as contained in our Terms of Use. We take all copyright violation notifications very seriously and have acted on all of them.

    Ought to stay as-is. Otherwise, spawning season will be interminable.
    On the other hand, Subscriptions would go up.

    I've seen mailings in my e-mail far, far racier that what is in the Bikini thread--not that I've ever looked. Heck, Virginia's Secret advertisements on t.v. are nearly as revealing.
    I think if Steve and the 'other' fellow are willing to police the thread, what harm?
    If things get out of hand, re-visit the issue.

    My latest avatar has been getting an unusual amount of attention and, as such, I've noticed a few users hanging around for the Bikini Thread, etc.

    THAT was a Freudian slip if I ever saw one.
    And I'd like to see Miss Lima in a slip as well

    Rob, I found this place in my constant web search for all things ferrari. I was mainly looking for info on 328's. I'm happy to inform you that thanks to this place, I have expanded my knowlege of F-cars. thats the reason I'm here. you just happen to have an Off Topic section that I really enjoy. the Bikini thread is in it's rightful place and should stay there.
    F-chat is a good place with lot's of classy people. Some of us just don't come here for the bikinis only ya know... ;)

    I usually get a flag on about 1/3 of my avatars. pffffft. Rob doesn't seem to care, so some schmuck is complaining.
    BTW, here is a Lima slip for Steve and I :D

    Just leave it, it is pretty tame compared to what can be found with a simple "google" search. Not that I would know, just what I have heard on TV.

    I can see moving it to Silver section for the increased subscriptions & since logging on is required might keep some users kids outta there, but REALLY, there are worse things out there......just leave it for now.....unless it gets way otta hand.

    Rob,

    Perhaps you can make a requirement that all women featured in that thread must be maximum 110lbs and minimum Cs?

    Excellent suggestion. If Steve and I were granted mod/consulting powers over thread, you could rest assured that only the best would appear. An occasional larger woman for dear Carb would be a gesture of goodwill. And none of those disgusting guy things like someone posted the other day. :)
    Thread is not for exploitation of women, only to appreciate the finer forms of same. Which is why there isn't Lada-chat ;)
