Title: Have we gone politically correct?
Post by: Orcs on 21 October 2024, 12:21:35 AM
Just realised that the "Top Totty" sub board has not come up in my unread posts for some time. Worried that I might have missed the opportunity to wonder and lust after admire the beauty of the fairer sex I went and checked, and there have been no entries into that board since June 2022. I alsio noticed that it is no longer listed in the sub-boards of Chat and News

This must mean one or more of the following

1 We are all now so woke we won't post a picture of a beautiful woman.
2 Posting pictures obtained from the internet has now got more difficult.
3 The forum is getting to the age that a "nice cup of tea and a Digestive biscuit" is more appealing.
4 The forum has lost the more prolific posters of nice pictures.
5 The Dark Lord feels it is no longer appropriate for a purveyor of addictive products to have such a board
6 M'lady has found out about it and due to her possession of the "one ring" has  exerted her all powerful influence on the Dark lord and made him bend to her will and hide it

I never quite saw the relevance to wargaming, but I'm not bothered one way or the other about its existence or otherwise.

But I am bothered about the suggestion regarding digestives: every one knows an Abernethy is a vastly superior accompaniment to a cup tea.

Orcs, I have managed to drag the forum back into the gutter, and I've posted on the Top Totty thread.

It was a chore, searching for pictures of beautiful women, but I struggled on.

Thank you. At times one has to do things for the forum that one does not normally do.

I had to look up Abernethy biscuits - they do look better than digestives, I will have to look out for them

It's relevance is to assist you in painting skin tones, and avoid making mistakes.

True Story.

A friend (unfortunately now passed away) who had a blog called Thomo's Hole painted an entire Amazon Army for Hordes of the things, only for his wife to point out that blondes have pink nipples and brunettes browner ones.
   
I would not like one of my fellows on this forum  to make the same mistake and have to do lots of repainting.

I was about to check that through Google.

Then I considered the consequences...

Apparently my [child's-in-law] tried to check 'how do you do cocaine' on their phone tonight ...

A really useful blog that I still occasionally refer to... he will certainly be missed, even by those of us who never met him

Nowt to do with me, I'd not actually noticed that it hadn't been posted in!  So I can only assume it's 1-4:

Agreed. I was always surprised at how many wargaming interests Thomo and I shared. I think he was over in the Philippines and was always on a quest for good burgers.

When I found out he passed; I was saddened even though I never met or games with him I felt like I had lost a friend because I followed his various adventures through his blog.

I don't think it ever was, it was just pinned to the top of the Chat & News section?
