**Poppi good point! I think the "No Thumbnail" rule would help people look at other art. I think, altho I love Vargas and Olivia's style, that Pin-Up is a bit more prominanent and does tend to be a lot of what is on the board. I like all styles and look at several different pics daily, to see what's new and interesting out there. Giant Boobs aren't my thing, but then I don't care either. Mainly I just would like to see the childish rules go to a level where, if you are going to do this, just slit the throat and be done with it! Don't have thumbnails at all. If all some people are here for is cheap thrills...go to Renderotica! Guarenteed to see some of what you want! No fuss, No muss! Otherwise a No Thumbnail rule makes all the problems go away! Plus IF people did post in the correct galleries, a lot of this may have been avoided as well. But that is another story.

Karen, the front page article doesn't really explain it! It just tells you that the policy has changed. How about putting it to a vote and MAJORITY wins the poll!? Instead of the current tail between the legs cave in to puritist pressures? How many complain as to those who don't? A poll would be interesting to see. As for DL's question...A good 75% of women show their Nipples in a thin shirt daily in this society! Lot's of "CLEAN" artists here, show nip's in their neutral art! I have Nips! Do you suggest that I put Tape over them? I am in public every day! They are a Natural part of the HUMAN ANATOMY!  The reason this is censorship is that you are reacting to the Human body as if it were something "Dirty" I thought we progressed beyond that! If it was a thumbnail of the "Venus De Milo" would we have to "Clean" that up? Wait how about a Rueben's? You know those big plump bottoms! Censorship is a vile and dangerous path.  I was watching the Discovery Channel the other nite, and a very promenant Astro Physicist was on, and her Nips were quite prominant. I fail to see  where they interferred with her mind or the Jupiter lander she was speaking of. Just an example. If you can't have a thumbnail that everyone can see...when will it be anyone in society? Seriously!
The only reason it is titallating to anyone is the conotation we put on it when we act like it is "Naughty"!!!!!

Finally, this is a silly problem. Too many people are busy telling others how to and what to do in life, art and society. Wake up people...your civil liberties and rights are like sand in an hour glass....just trickling away. If people would just stop being the moralities police, and worry about their own selves, this would not be happening in this community, internet (yes, it isn't just here), and nation. Break out those neutral gray thick polyester pantsuits, 1984, a bit late is right around the corner!
