In regards to the Kasumi picture, from what I've seen ... unless I saw another version of it, up close her nipples are actually popping out too. But, who knows.

The outline of them behind cloth is all right, but areola-slippage isn't.

(Well, really it is, but we're supposedly keeping it clean around here and as pornography is defined by some interest groups, a woman isn't naked unless her nipples are showing. )

well, i just wanna point out one thing. not all "pedo" are the same. some like kids 5-8, others 9-11, others 12-17.

the first two are horrible, because obviously, they're kids and is mala en se (Evil in itself." Behavior universally regarded as criminal, e.g., murder.).

however, the later, 12-17 is different in my opinion. the age of consent is mala prohibita (Behavior that is criminal only because society defines it as such, e.g., gambling), which means, it's a law, which happens to be different from state to state, and country to country.

point being, we've all had history class, and from what you might remember, ppl have married girls as young as 12, and they didnt have a problem with it back in the old days, even with arranged marriages.

for example CURRENTLY just to name a few known countries japan 13, france 15, italy 14, spain 13. most other known countries are 16. Yemen, a middle eastern country, has its age of marriage for girls as young as 9 yrs old.

to say that people who like girls or boys from the age of 12-17 are pedos isnt fair i think...

Everyone, it is time to make the board a cleaner place! READ
This issue has plagued XG for a long enough time, long enough that I have decided to point it out (not like a lot of us haven't seen it already).

Q: What is this issue? What are you talking about?

I'm talking about XG's product here, post quality. The quality in posts has seem to become somewhat of a slump lately, but I've always seen it for nearly the last year or so. Sometimes not as often as some days, maybe just here or there, but enough for me to say "We have work to do".

I have not brought this up to the staff, nobody. Maybe this is a personal request from myself, maybe it isn't. Either way, posting better makes:
A) The Board look better and cleaner.
B) You look more respectable and intelligent.

I would love for everyone from here on out to put a far greater amount of effort into posting. This includes proper grammar, spelling, and even simple puncuation.

1. hey my name is xeo and thsii is my board its cool...lol
2. Hey, my name is Xeo and this is my board. Its cool.

What looks better? Let's hope you're looking at the second example there.

I mean if it seriously means busting out Microsoft Word, then so be it. Again, making better posts makes yourself look better.

Also, expect myself and possibly others to start getting a little harder on the one liners. I myself suffer from pushing these out at times, but like the title of this announcement says, its -everyone- here. This is going to be a long process, and everyone of us needs to help out.

2nd Issue ------
I have only seen this one recently, posts like (assume these are the entire post)
1. okay but thats not what I meant ...
2. I meant the first movie but okay...
3. No that's not him...
4. Okay, sorry I didn't mean that.
5. 3rd one was the best.
6. Okay, I'll try to remember that next time.

Basically, these are some examples of short posts, and a lot of the time they're users posting back ... what seems to be little answers to whomever they may speaking to. You do not need to post something so simple like that, it just really bugs me when people do this. If staff is possibly pointing out a flaw, I don't want to see people just post "Okay, I'll do that next time" unless its a large post and has more of a discussion than the user saying "Sorry, I'll do better next time". There really isn't a point to posts like that. Just take into consideration whatever someone may be pointing out, and keep it to yourself.

AND A BIG ONE

Do not, I repeat, unless you have some good justification say "Okay, this can be closed now" ... especially if you say -just that- ... its extremely annoying and pretty much worthless. This happens a lot in the Help forum. Yes, if someone answers a question, you can come in and thank them, but make sure your post is a little more than that, and just realize that a thread does not need to be closed because something was solved. In my belief, threads only need to be closed if they're pointless, and basically trash and or are just some kind of special thread like a tournament or whatever.

3rd Issue -----
Puncuation. Okay, this isn't school. You're not typing up a paper here, but just please try your best with corrected spelling, and puncuation. Again, like I've said a dozen times by now it makes you look better and the board cleaner. I'm not going to get angry if you don't do this all the time, but I do promote this idea. Also, if you type correctly on the board, I'm sure that would increase your typing speed for papers, and just overall being a fast typer on the keyboard while being able to use it correctly at the same time.

I also want to see you, instead of u. This is not AIM.

Speaking of AIM, I myself throw out an occasional "lol, lmao, rofl" or whatever like that maybe at the end of my posts, but don't go overboard, and only use it when it would maybe get a picture across, and actually have a meaning. I really don't want to see any of these used except for the "haha's" type.

In final, I'd really like to see more thought out and intelligent 'looking' posts from here on out. From everyone. It makes us all look better. So maybe I should say, treat XG like you would a school paper? If you do, it'll probably just help you out even more in the end.
