"The Great Porn Purge" 

 

I must have joined right after that era

You don't lose posts we don't delete we hide posts, even threads moved to the Trash Forum do not alter your post count. When Invision first took over the forums I think we all lost a lot of posts if you were here in 2007 or 2008. People also lost posts during the great porn purge around the same time period.

Lol what???

[The Raven]

I demand a brief history lesson about this porn purge.

[Gordo52]

This is strictly 10,000 club business. Everyone else must leave.

It's one of the privileges we own, discussing porn purges and stuff.

Obviously since the poster stated you ALL lost posts during the porn purge, I can understand the desire for secrecy.

[T3hRaven]

There was a porn purge? How have I not heard of this? Was it a virus or bots or something more devious?

"The Great Porn Purge"

I must have joined right after that era

When this board started in 2007 they had not quite got the captcha right so some nights there were more spammers then members and about 95% of the spam with some of it extremely graphic porn. My kids could not be around when I first loggedon. Once I was up at my parents house in Deep Creek for Labor Day and was teaching my dad about FF, and he wanted to see what a MB was, I logged on to find10 very graphic post with a slooooooow load on dial up, I was so embarrassed.

My dad looked at me and asked what exactly I did for the Ravens lol

Of course it was not as bad when my entire family, like 25 of us at the time my now 21 yo was a toddler and loved to push buttons and pushed the one on the VCR because he wanted Barney, the music started and the look on my 90 yo grandfathers face was priceless and my dad mumbled that it belonged to my 20 something brother.

Each one of the posts had to be sent to the trash forum by hunting them down and deleting. In 2008 or '09 the Ravens went with Invision and if the spammers get through we have a button that wipe out all the posts and still sent them to the trash and now sends them to the deleted/ hidden post area.

It was also around that time we asked Admin 3 if he could purge the porn so if one of the moderators were at work they would not get in trouble so bye bye porn.

We still get spam, but as much. Invision has a several tier system over their entire that works well plus all noobs are on Mod preview, plus y'all are great in reporting the work at home spam lol and don't see it.

The porn is also why one of the first questions we ask a mod candidate if they are 21 lol

[T3hRaven]

Ah, that's what I figured it was.  Porn spammers have ruined many good things about the internet.

Gotta love a classic porn purge!

[BloodRaven]

Please, someone make a 5000 club for all the peasants.

Then warnings should be handed out to anyone over the threshold for venturing outside of it.  Consider "The 10000 Club" your new designated area.

 

This land is your land... all of that is my land.

Being in "The 10,000 Club" automatically grants you access to the entire board Cosmic.  It doesn't restrict you to one common area!  Smh!  lol!  Not being in the club however, gets you penalized for venturing into this thread without having the proper "posting-pedigree"

Oh wow, not cool....the internet back then was crazy with the viruses (virii?)

I remember downloading a Spiderman movie for my then 7 year old son, I hit play and went to get us popcorn...when I came back; well, let's just say that it was a french guy dressed as Spiderman, and that definitely was not his spiderwebs that ... well you know...so that was an awkward conversation I had to have with my son, and lesson learned

I hate how the movies on YouTube start out fine then morph into R rated material. Our 3yo has an hour of video viewing, games or 'surfing the net 3 yr old style' lol. He will be watching something on 'eggos' aka Legos , he slams down the lid 4 mins into the Lego men cursing or shooting, where they were fine before, the do the same thing with matchbox cars. There are some sick people out there smh
