Quick Moderator's Note
Alright, guys. I hate to be the wet blanket, but there's been a recent spike in racist talk, and whatnot. I know it's all in fun, but this is supposed to be a welcoming place for new people, not a wretched hive of scum and villainy. ;) There is a diffrence between discussing racism and exemplifying it. The latter can be fine for a joke, but when it's too frequent it begins to color the forum as a whole.
By all means goof around, but try not to make quite so many racial jokes or extreme sex references, especially when they're directed at other members.
And yes, I am a hipocrite since I was doing it, too. I'm just talking about toning down the frequency, is all. I'd like this stuff to stay joking, and not become the overriding theme of the boards.
This is NOT a moratorium on sex threads, or threads about racism. But fewer rape jokes about other members, a fewer uses of words like 'nigger' and 'chink' in unnecessary contexts.

Serious discussions about racial issues are ok, but it's easy to get offended by racially oriented jokes/comments...phrases and words which we use out of humor are often stereotypes which can easily be taken personally. The only person that can get away with that is Russell Peters :)
