I'm not going to bother making a shitty rant or starting of with some witty intro, I just want to know why a site that discourages sexually lude behavior from their users has this:



in one of their ads.

Now, I don't encourage the bullshit sexual innuendo topics in the chatterbox, and I'm sure that some Gaia mod or official will come along with a good excuse, but c'mon. Get your s**t together.

Oh... wow... Um... Maybe it's becuase that- erm... I dunno actually!

Gaia just got POUNDED!

Good point.

[Khnum Quinn Ra]

Because, quite simply, this is a paid for forum. It's their money. They need sponsors. One of those sponsors happens to be an internet dating/chat site. It involves promiscuity, but it does not say "Have sex right now, damnit!".

Get YOUR s**t together, bud. They don't have to excuse themselves. They don't have to do one thing.

You'd rather pay for Gaia?

"FREE sexy personal photos!"

Does that not scream "Sex-crazed twelve-year-old boys click here!"? I understand that they need sponsors, but couldn't they get someone else? Or at least request that the sponsors tone down their ads?

[kiwi faerie]

Yeah I noticed that too.... it's because that site pays the bills... in other words that site payed them to advertise here.
Why they agreed, I do not know.

I'm not trying to "pound" gaia. I just wanted an explanation.

I think they don't know that ad is in there. o.o After so many new sponcers get added, they tend to loose track.

You might want to bring this up in the feedback forum.

No Nude/Undie Images

As for cleavage shots- they are okay so long as they do not show any nipples or overly revealing or provocative.

Passion.com

Erotic Chat/Email/Phone Fantasies
Intimate Relationship
Discreet Relationship

To investigate into it, I found out several things.

A) One would have to sound more mature, or they get the phone hung up on them, and the parents ground the kid for awhile.
B) If they happened to get passed a good portion of the blocks these people have set up for younguns, they do not have to technically do anything for the client if they find out.
C) If they do let this go on, and someone finds out, the site is pounded with a Fraud Charge, as well as Dealing Out to a Minor.

Privacy Policy.
Terms of Use
Protect Children!

The third link means that the site is non-liable for any Minors, and in turn, the charges above listed will be turned around to the parents for allowing it to go on. This site being non-liable, GaiaOnline, as it's Co-Sponsor, is non-liable as well.

Satisfied? By the way, it's Hot Sexy Pictures, not Come Please Yourself to Naked Pictures of Hot Asian Women or some such. You have to get passed everything first.

It's true that the forums need to be paid for, but they could use google ads and what not, instead of something like "Passion.com" [or whatever it was].

There's quite a few other ads that are against Gaia's ToS too. And really, what's the point having all those rules when Gaia users as young as 11 [I know some from my guild stare ] could get porn following one of Gaia's ad links?

[Dynamo Kiev]

But you can still whack off to the ad picture. 3nodding
