I have a solution of sorts that I'll be bringing on line very soon, I think, to this issue. I'm going to bring a "Locker Room Forum" on to give a less restrictive outlet for the hot girls on bikes threads and a place for the guys to be guys while still allowing women to come into RC and not have quite the level of testosterone. I've been kicking this idea around for about a year. We're tried everything else, and I don't see another alternative, honestly at this point.

The "Locker Room" won't be a guys only forum, but will be understood to be an area where we men can scratch, burp, fart and guzzle beer and just be guys, and any women coming in will definitely have to understand this atmosphere. The only image restrictions will be no p0rn0graphy or full nudity, or extreme crudity to avoid us being blacklisted. The only other thing is it will be postable for Ti members (IB wanted that restriction), and to facilitate this, if you don't have access now, and try to post a thread, or respond in that forum, you'll get an automatic redirect to the page to purchase Ti for your convenience. Ti has been reduced to $12 a year, or $20 for 2 years, and there is a Ti 1 month trial for $3, but to prevent a recurring charge on that, you'll need to cancel the paypal recurring subscription charge for it, and do another 1 or 2 year subscription to continue. That would then be a recurring charge for the 1 or 2 year, and paypal can process a major credit card for you if you don't have a paypal account.

I'm closing this thread down for a 24 hour cool-down period, as well, to allow everyone to take a breath and think about the solution, at which point, I'll reopen it for discussion of the solution offered. No one was trying to be ironfisted in the thread, there was just an impasse reached between what we, the staff, were trying to accomplish and what some members wanted to avoid.....a change in the forum dynamic to make it a bit less hostile to the women. That's what Pete and the other mods were trying to address, by the way.
