Amen!
Kenny, I agree -- the slander of President Bush by those who now complain about offensive posts was comically hypocritical.

Americans are so stupid. Violence is good but the naked human body is something to be ashamed of.

Most of my kids 11 year old friends have smartphones with an internet browser and full access to the internet. Good or bad, this is the reality. Naaaggghhh they are not going to find anything BAD out there in the internets. Futurecriminals#

Thank you to whichever advertiser finally woke Chris up. It is a shame that the abuse which was foisted upon many of those whom that advertiser was hoping to reach wasn't enough in the first place. I do not thank Chris, because he clearly could have cared less about those people. His silence on the issue was deafening. Frankly Chris - shame on you.
So, those of you crying over the thing like Chris has turned his back on you - it's not the case. He was stuck between keeping YOU placated by deciding to allow the misogyny to continue and flourish(as was clearly occurring as a byproduct of the "harmless appreciation of the beautiful female body" posts) and losing the small revenue which keeps the site running, along with(possibly) some talk behind the scenes amongst manufacturers who support the site or might do so in the future.
To those referring about ads from the t-shirt companies: There are two types of advertisers on Suertopo: Ones which Chris contracts with directly, which are most likely to include outdoors rec related companies, and "served ads" which Chris has only limited ability to filter.
Served ads come from Google. Chris has contracted with Google to serve ads here, as a revenue stream. Google bots crawls the threads and use information from them to post ads which would be of potential likely interest to those reading those threads. As an example, a thread about traveling to overseas destinations might be provided with advertisements from airlines, hotels,and travel services. An ad about tits will be provided with ads like the t-shirt ones referred to.
It is NOT Chris selecting the ads - those who are posting in such threads, and using terms such as "boobs," are creating signals which drive the ad server to display the ads.
And, if the crap has stayed within those threads ABOUT boobs, the t-shirt served ads would not have been seen on threads which were unrelated. But some people couldn't help themselves from whining and crying and hijacking unrelated threads. THAT would be how the t-shirt ads would end up being displayed on threads which would seemingly be unrelated to the boob ones.
You all brought it on yourselves, because some of you are bullies, asshats and misogynists. What a bunch of idiots some people can be.

If Chris wants to regulate it into a kiddie pool, his vision is different, I think, than what attracted many of us here
Chris has said that he is getting advertisers threatening to pull their support if the nudity OR "inappropriate content" continues
those advertisers are paying the freight to keep supertopo open
so if you are going to accuse someone of regulating kiddie porn it would be them instead of Chris Mac

How about a G rated forum and an R rated forum?
I'll bet I know which will draw more hits, and posts.

I won't get fired for looking at rock porm or ski porn - but I sure would get fired on the spot for looking at nudity. On these subby days when I am trapped at work, a glimpse at the site keeps alive my hopes for the weekend or season. Hate to hide the lurking!

The same asshats that whine about the boobs are probably the same crowd that thinks every as#@&%e in town has the right to own an assault rifle with a few high capacity clips. Which is worse for kids?

Sometimes I want to sneak onto this site and see what's happening during the workday, like during a break or at lunch. On occasion, I have had my at-work Supertopo screen showing full or partial nudity to my total horror. I personally don't care, but the social and workplace norm these days makes such a display, if seen by the wrong person, cause to get fired on the spot. Keep it off here. Thanks Chris.
This post really sums it up. I can't tell you how many times I've been in a public place perusing the forum, when a nude or semi-nude photo would suddenly pop up, completely out of context of the title of the thread. Extremely embarrassing and annoying! At least with the "official" Boob Thread (RIP) you would know knott to click on it in public (especially with kids around, lest you be mistaken for some creepy, classless pervert viewing porn in public - a very misleading characterization of someone who actually dates women in real-life. ;-)
Here's my suggestion for those who have a problem with this:
