I have browsed it a few times, enough to know I HATE IT! When I joined this website amost 2 years ago, it was NOTHING like the way it is now...but by adding the Off Topic Board, I have lost a lot of respect for LIW...We are just about at an all-time low.

Back in the day, LIW would QUICKLY pull posts that related to anything sexual, and now, they are like encouraging it....its disgusting in my eyes...

Sorry, had that pent up for a bit and had to vent it out.

I'm not an 05 bride so I don't go on that board. If you don't like the Off-topic board then don't go on it.

I'll read it sometimes,and it doesn't offend me, but I don't feel like discussing my sex life with strangers, so I just don't post on those threads.

I am actually quite proud of LIW for making the board. We are all adults and as there is a place for BHB, Newlyweds, etc there is a place for those who want to discuss 'othe topics'. The deal is, if you dont like it, dont visit it and that seems fair..better than stumbling upon a post that you didnt want to see

I actually like having the off-topic seperate from NWR. I still go on NWR most of the time, but when I am in the mood I can click on Off-topic. If you never click on off-topic you will never have to see those posts

Exactly!

I'm not turned off by it at all. It's a 'choice' to go on that board, not a 'requirement.' If someone really doesn't like it, it's more than easy enough to pretend it's not even there.

I was thinking the same thing.

It seems the OT subject matter is even more extreme and it feels like the board is more divided.

I also wanted to say that we are all aware that we don't need to go to the OT Forum if we don't want to but that doesn't mean we can't express displeaure on another forum.
