It's going a bit slower now, but it's not incredibly slow. I'm on 56k right now, so weird to me.

Just this moment loaded the splash page and it took 36 seconds on a cable modem....

25 seconds to get to the forum index page....

21 seconds to general chit chat, error message - cannot find server....

Refreshed, 22 seconds later same outcome....

Hit 'back' button...42 seconds later found the IP, but then lost it again - cannot find server..... Hit refresh to try to reload...22 seconds later same outcome.

...gave up....

Weird, Splash page took 3 seconds on my 56k (Including the banner)

Forum Home page took 5 seconds (With banner again)

So, thats really weird. o.O

Well since you want no one under 17 allowed on the site, then you should make it not viewable to guests. Also, 17 is still underage, you should really make it 18 :D

Clearly depends what country you're in, but yeah 18 would be the ideal age IMO.

Well, he said no pornography is allowed, so why make it 18? As for the forums, they are pretty default-ish. Add some hacks. Customize it a bit.

For the reason of Adult Themes.

You don't see a movie which is lets say PG and it has sexual themes but no pornography. It's the same thing. Then It'd go up to Sex Scenes and Nudity.

Works the same for a forum.

But you see PG-13 movies with sexual themes, and pornography. Quite a few of them.

Pornography and PG-13?

Thats definently not true, sorry. They'd be sued if they did that.

It has to be very rare.

I'll name one...Titanic. And it depends what you consider pornography. I mean in PG-13 movies they never show the whole body, usually only the top. So if that's what your saying, then I agree with you.
