Why does TGR value porn more than skiers and skiing?

For many of us middle age is firmly in the rear view. But thanks I suppose.

Thanks for proving the point.

You too.

Porn is for people who do’nt get any. :nonono2:
Less porn, more STOKE, I say.

There has been much discussion about the porn being posted in NSFW threads on TGR.

This leads to several questions:

Given the prominence of porn on the site at this point, why does TGR think it is more important to provide “masturbation aids” for loser men than to be a welcoming place for everyone?

Is TGR sure it is not hosting images posted without consent? (yes, there is a thread about this - but it fits here too) Are you guys confident enough of this that you’d be willing to defend your “moderation” decisions in front of a judge or a professional organization (say the bar or a dental/medical board) or your spouse or your children or anyone else close to you? Including showing them the threads (or heck, even some avatars or handles) in question?

Are you sure none of the images are of under-age individuals? Same follow-on questions as above.

WTF is wrong with you that this is even a discussion anymore? You guys have let this stuff clutter up more and more of TGR. It drives good people out. It is off putting to many prospective members. I’m not talking about any sort of “morality” debate — it defines a hostile & objectifying environment. Do you think your porn following is super important to your advertisers? Do you brag to skis.com, Smith, evo, the state of UT, Mammut, various other manufacturers, assorted ski areas, etc, etc.. etc. that you are getting them access to the highly desirable male "masturbates a lot" crowd? If so, is that part of your pitch to prospective media sponsors? Do you show them those threads and say “hey, look at the access we can get you to this prime demographic?" Think they’d all be excited to have their brands affiliated with this?

Why, at this point in time, are you willing to prioritize porn posters/viewers above the skiing/riding/kayaking/biking/etc. community at large? Inquiring minds really want to know.

Beautifully written and so true. I'd like to also include the unwarranted lashing out directed at other forum members. What happened to community, brotherhood and the golden rule! I took a break from the forum based on the massive amount of terribly nasty individuals. Bullies always get what's coming to them in then end. Cheers and God bless!

I vote the only allowed porn be ski porn or ski related porn... Of course in this age of modern inclusivness, I guess cross country snowboarding and ski blading porn should be allowed too

Find those sweaty undies yet?

It's no longer about the nudes. Now it's about moderating.

But I propose a compromise:

Get rid of the porn and then block MTNGURL for life.

Your incessant feminist whining on this board...I remember the day you joined thinking holy frick this woman needs a father figure.

I'll answer. TGR isn't prioritizing, they set up some servers/developers at some cost, and use volunteers to run the place with minimal effort because they like to focus on other things than a forum and like it to be free haven for ski bums, friends from 20 yrs ago, and the occasional misfits/trolls that entertain the former. You are not their target audience. We have seen maggot businesses come and go, mags be born married, die, not all of the same generation. And porn wasn't a big deal over that amount of years. And it isn't now. Mtngrl made a stink. Woopdee do.

Seriously question. Why are you hassling the mods and owners with this shit? TGR has been home of the maggots for more than 15 yrs and you are trying to fix it? As has been said before, don't like it, don't click. How hard is that?

I agree with you a lot of time on political stuff, etc. Just STOP TRYING TO PUSH YOUR AGENDA, WHATEVER THAT IS, ON OTHERS.

We all came to this place because we could be jackasses and not be scolded. Fuck you for scolding us and again, trying to bring it to attention to lawyers and owners to make a change YOU THINK IS RIGHT. It's not your home, Holmes. It's all of ours. You remind me of a roommate from college, for just one year.

Grrrr

spindrift sucks

When I opened this thread I thought that it was just another self righteous rant of a displaced epicski busybody trying to make the TGR clean so that the many Amish skiers and nuns that post here would not have their delicate sensibilities bruised. As I read I saw that it was another self righteous rant of a displaced epicski busybody trying to make TGR clean so a displaced feminist would not have her delicate sensibilities bruised.

I must be slipping.

Hope she found skidiva.com and is in a better place now.

I saw something a while ago where TGR pitched itself as the most "open and honest" outdoor site (or something like that). I asked simple questions. I'm still waiting for an official owner/mod response.

Everyone knows that You sniff Hillary Clinton's panties, perv.

I suppose it is answer enough if you assume the owners/mods are cowards and weasels. I'm hoping they will prove otherwise. I mean if TGR is more about porn and masturbation and being a "he man woman hater club" than skiing/riding - they can just say so. How hard could it be for an adult (or adults) who owns the asset to be up front about where they stand on an issue a number of community members consider important.

I think you should spend a solid amount of time drafting up a mission statement.
