Now serious question time. To my right there is currently an advertisement that has what appears to be a naked woman that is conveniently covered by her long hair and has text saying "Mature enough to play?" which, I would imagine, is trying to be subtle to say that this game is on the adult spectrum.

Now, the question is: why are ads allowed to basically say 'hey, we're gonna use a naked chick and blood and risque text to try and get you to click on this link so all that is probably in this game' and yet we had to tone it down, despite that I'm sure there are google ads on websites that are far worse than this? Is it that websites are categorized that "this website is kid/family friendly, so it has to tone it down; this website is literally porn, so the target audience won't care" and that xiah is in the first?

If it's like that, then why does Google serve ads like this one for Caesary?

Well, I LOVE 'EM ALL, Y'KNOW--

Actually, I do love the MS paint threads, and LGBT threads are quite warm and cheerful. I lurk Ni from time to time, but that place is so random I don't even know what to say, so I mostly just lurk. XD

Hmmm...This addition has a lot of serious questions, so I'll throw a fun one out for all the mods.

For those of you who have traveled abroad, what countries have you visited, which is your favorite, and why? For those who haven't which would you like to visit?
I've been to Korea 4 different times (~3 weeks each). There are a lot of nice parts. I like going to Itaewan (part of Seoul). Good times.

So jealous! I would jump at the chance to visit a few, select Asian countries!
I want to go to Japan again, even if it's just the airport, for the curry. OMG that was awesome curry in Narita.

Edit: Don't be too jealous. They were all work trips.

ACK! Now I'm super jealous! The only traveling I've done for work is to Denver, Boulder, San Fran, (possibly this July) San Diego, and of course, Dallas and Houston (but that's a given).

/sigh

I need to get my masters!!!
I still need to get around to visiting Sweden. Should be some good times.

Give yourself a month or so and travel to as many countries as you can! No tour groups though. Those are worthless, and seeing Europe under time constraints will make it miserable.

Yeah, no way I'd be able to be gone that long at once. I'm sure Svedin would have enough for me to do while over there.

Edit: I do want to take a trip to the UK at some point as well.

Europe is nice. I really enjoyed Germany/Austria/France/Italy. Paris was cool, especially going up the Eiffel Tower and watching a thunderstorm light up the sky with purple streaks near the beach in Italy was pretty cool too. Not to mention Venice.

I'm incredibly late to this whole conversation because I was too busy squirreling around to post. But anyhow.

I like Krizz and think he's a perfectly fine mod, although firmer than Aly and Anye. I think the reason he gets more backlash is because he's on more, or at least more visible, than the girls. Also for this reason, if I have a dumb question, I'm more likely to go pestering him in a gazillion pm's a day asking "is this ok? what about this? how about that?" which surely must drive him nuts, but he's been very patient. All the mods work hard and do what they think is best, and all of them do a fine job (in my opinion.) The job itself seems pretty much like thankless, payless babysitting of people who shouldn't need babysat. I should think that modding would get very frustrating very quickly, and I think they handle it very well.

Anyways! Enough of blathering about things that happened four pages ago.

I've read almost all of them. (I haven't looked at the page so I may be wrong.) I have a shelf on my bookcase dedicated to just them.
