I doubt cooties would even be brought up in such a forum. Come on now, our memberbase isn't that immature....
I'm not a staff here, but this is a flat-out NO. I find it bad enough that there are already some sexuality-based threads in OC. As for porn, it's also no. Also, Patchisou is right in some ways, and I agree with you there, Patchy. Now goodbye.
What exactly is wrong with that?
Nothing.
I see no issue with discussing real, relevant topics like that in a mature and scholastic fashion. Not all of us are little children here. Just because you don't agree with it, it doesn't mean everyone else has to adhere to your belief system. If you don't like that, then stay out of Other Chat, end of discussion.
So, what exactly would this mature forum be for? What is it you're so eager to discuss there?
Mature discussion :/ Although OC can be used for it, it doesn't stop immature users posting :/ A place were you have to get "permission" in a way to enter would stop immature users.
Mature discussion about what? If OC isn't working out, then point me to a thread in OC that's been corrupted by these immature people you're concerned about. Otherwise, how do I (or, more importantly, forum admins and mods) know you don't just want an exclusive club to be a part of?
Couldn't we make a sub-fourm like Supporter HQ that can only appear to people who registered over the age of 18 - I know some people might register older but no one will notice the fourm when they join, it would be invisible.
You could Kinda make it like deviantart, you wouldn't be able to change the brithday you registered with.
Im guessing my answer is going to be: "It would stress the server"

Yes it does need to be "shot down" because it's a dumb idea.... you heard me people... a mature forum is a DUMB idea.I do support it, though. Just because the T-Dome didn't work out a few years ago doesn't mean this idea should be shot down because of it every time it comes up.
