Dapoopta, I am at work typing this on my almost over lunch break and my company would block it and it is a very large and growing medical facility that does advertise. In fact, we are growing nationally. They have Victoria Secret and other lingerie and swim wear sites blocked and they have NO nudity. They would flip their lids if they saw what I saw on the recently added.

My report card..southern belle ;) Just don't make me angry! :D I keep my weapons secret til I need them! lol
Fast food..I am with Slimm! Love those darn $1 diet cokes from Mickey D's which are probably killing me slowly

I hope we are all having fun with each other. Of course I didn't start this thread but was the third of many to agree with it. We all have the privileged to comment and hopefully it kinda stays on the subject and stays friendly. P5 has years ago stated their policy on nudes or adult themed subjects and have tried to make everyone happy but also has to look at the business side. Some P5 artists have disagreed, like Slim (I agree with him but it really is P5's decision) about rotting fish not being socially offensive or morally wrong for young people to see. That is normal everyday nature that big city folk just don't see. A few years ago an artist put a National Geographic type footage of natives killing a pig with knives. It was bloody and real life normal for them. Many agreed it should be visible and others said hide it. It also got pretty heated and personal. Not right.

There really isn't need for anything in these forum to get personal or hateful or slanderous. Make valid points and then P5 can decide. It's great to talk and discuss. it's sad when some artists get mean.

Scott, you are probably right about the entire site not being banned but it has happened and will happen to other web pages. Some business are 100% non tolerant and they do buy products online. Other may give it a wait and see how much. There are extremely large religious based or owned businesses that will block sites for much less reasons. Many multi-billion dollar international commercial business are owned by religions or straight laced owners. There are also large non religion owned companies that set high standards. Many have filters that check words on a web site and if certain words are found the site is blocked. That is all beyond what we can change, P5 decides what level of scrutiny they are willing to accept.

I'm sure P5 does listen to all sides before making a decision that affect their profitability as well as ours. They have made a lot of good choices and I trust will continue to.

Let's be friends, rednecks and good ole boys. ;) EDIT: and Southern Belles ;)

p.s. yes I agree dead fish on a river bank is not offensive ... breaking off the penis of a rock statue was silly but gives us a great world history to talk about ... maybe some day the whole world will be nudists (sure hope things don't get scratched up too much) ... just my feelings... LOL.

Is anyone other than artist "dolgachov" uploading anything? His photos have been constant on "just added" column for a long long time. Hey P5 share the spotlight with other artists and this thread subject will probably go away ;)
