Stark, could you please remove this post?

So glad I have you to read my muddled thoughts and put them into words that make sense Lil.

An age restriction wouldnt work anyway. People can still say they are whatever the age the restriction is. Its not like we can ask people for ID.

however if we started a TTA bar where senior members drink for free............

Yes there is the drama of younger members, but there is also a lot of real concern by them.

Hi Lilith.
Help by all means but surely there are some threads that just don't ring true by virtue of the contadictions that they contain; there are some issues where our intuition may work.
Where 'issues' progressively become like something out of a bizarre psycho/sexual sadistic drama I think T.A.F has to draw the line.

Only Daylight Dusk and ADTR I Think So were the same people.
Amber (itsFerdinand).
Bradley (thatchristianguy).
Sarah.. (calmyourtitsbro. And now insidemyownmind).

I'm here to start over.
Hello. I'm Sarah, & I want you to know the REAL me; not the attention whore.

I agree with these points and agree with the actions that Stark took today. I'm all for the open topic forums but soon as you start mixing that psycho/sexual anything of that nature where minors are involved then your putting everyone on the forum at risk.

I am tempted to second that -- but maybe it will sort itself out without drawing any lines. Attention spans can be very short, especially if they are ignored. That would be my preference. I do believe in Stark's philosophy.

So I'm still trying to catch up with what's been happening. My understanding;

ADTR, I think so was really DaylightDusk
itsFerdinand is banned for being a troll but isn't (I have no idea what's happened with her)
CYTB is making a new start as IMOM

Am I close, am I miles away, what's going on?

itsFerdinand: I think was banned because of my horrible wording. Stark took what I said as DaylightDusk was her too.

I think.

Now I think I get it. Is she getting unbanned then?
