Rendo's goal may simply be to appear not adult, rather than completely "family friendly." Then their admins shouldn't use phrases like "we try to keep it family friendly" and YES, I have seen an admin say just that, and more than once. And for what it's worth, R-Rated is still "adult" even if it's not hardcore porn. I understand about the accessing from work and with various persons in the room that you don't want looking over your shoulder. Perfectly valid, no argument from me. I also have no problem with having to tick the "nudity" flag or whatever, that's fine, too. THIS thread started out with commentary about G-Ratings and how they outsell everything else, which is fine in Hollywood, and would be fine on a website that was intended to be G-Rated. On THIS site, however, which is not pornographic but is age-restricted (you have to be fifteen to sign up here, or you used to), you're not going to get anything close to "family friendly", any more than you would in a pub. bonni
