Honestly I feel like I can discuss anything as it is on these boards. Tails have you experienced backlash in the form of a pm for posting something?

I dont mind having to be proper on the boards. It makes people stop and think before they post and thats always a good thing. You have FB for the stuff other than adult content, and adult content stuff could be handled somewhere else like pm on here or fb.

I'm not trying to suggest a place where you don't think befor you post, and while you don't mind being proper it shouldn't mean that other people can't "relax" from being proper. Also, I can't see pm'ing everyone I want input from very effective, not to mention there are people here who might have good information that I might have not even considered asking. Honestly I feel like I can discuss anything as it is on these boards. Tails have you experienced backlash in the form of a pm for posting something? No, and I don't want to

i like the idea. i mean lets be honest, peregrine doesnt care to here about my personal habits as they apply to sexuality. and he shouldn't be subjected to them any more than he already is, lols.
if people like to talk about sex, drugs and rock and roll, a sub board would be acceptable. i would think though that this should be a passworded area, like 40k area, but with actual password. also in that area the rules would be something like...
this area is for adults, any minors are to leave imediatly,this area is for discussion of all adult topics. any language of a colorful nature is allowed and any information exchanged should be kept private to the members here unless specifically expressed that it is public information. issues of sex, sexuality, gender, race and respondsiblities are talked about in a frank and honest manner.
or some such thing.

Make it like it like the clan business board. Send a request to whoever mods are in charge of it to get added.

So maybe a place to rant about jobs, and Belegarth, and life. A place where you can cuss up a storm and leave it there? Perhaps getting a bit of advice/sympathy/tough love from your brothers and sisters? So essentially a non-gender specific mix of the mens board/general mayhem from the nat. boards minus all the usual turdery because we're hydra and awesome? I like that. So basically a vent/rant/bitch (sorry Peregrine) board? There's an anxiety related stuff group on FB that I belong to that's basically just that. You go there and post about stuff that you're worried about, stuff that's bugging you, etc. It's nice to go there and just post but yeah...reading it isn't the most uplifting thing in the world. It's a pretty depressing place. I just post on there once in a blue moon when I really need to vent about something and am online. Otherwise don't even read the stuff anymore. To go with what Bo said...honestly, if someone doesn't want to read the thread or stuff on it...well, just don't go to it. Seems simple enough to me. Agreeing with Jarvis...this could be good or this could back fire in someone's(') face(s). Some rules may be a good idea. And whoever mentioned it being a "guys" page...yeah...some girls like to talk about sex too...well besides Gypsie. (Luv yah G!) To sum up thoughts....with the right rules and stuff this could be good. Although I'm guilty of it myself, posting complaining stuff on like facebook gets old. I have some people who NEVER post anything about nagging about how horrible something is. Gets trying and sometimes makes me down to see it all the time (yes, I'm a black kettle here-working on changing that). BUT keeping stuff inside isn't good either. And perhaps people could offer advice and stuff too. Either way, good luck with this! I'll cool with whatever is decided. It is a neat idea, Tails. Good job.

Only problem is that is the stuff is of a sexual nature minors are not allowed to see it, I'm sure there are enough accounts on this form made by people who are neither rhun or hydra. Agreeing with Jarvis...this could be good or this could back fire in someone's(') face(s). Some rules may be a good idea. I think it's worth trying, if it back fires, the we shut it down, simple as that. We are all mature enough people. And whoever mentioned it being a "guys" page...yeah...some girls like to talk about sex too...well besides Gypsie. (Luv yah G!) I think the comment was "something like the mens board" not to just make it the mens board. keeping stuff inside isn't good either. And perhaps people could offer advice and stuff too. Nope.

Not particularly interested in the topic itself, but as far as restricting an area of the board you should be able to create a group in the admin console and then populate registered users into it that way even if a minor found out that the area was there , they couldn't get into it without an admin letting them in. No passwords to be shared.
Back more to the topic, is swearing not allowed?

I personally say try it, and if it flops, take it down. Better to have somewhere separate for this than to muck up the proper channels.

Tails: True. I'm excited to get my nieces into this and stuff but yeah...they're not attending events until like...yeah, I don't know. Kind of protective of those younger than me, so agreeing with the under 18 thing. Forgot about that. The "men's board" part was kind of a joke. I really need to get better at wording those. Were you agreeing to the last part or saying no that people wouldn't be giving advise. Was thinking about this more after I posted last time. Perhaps if Tails complete idea doesn't fly, maybe a spin off of it? Ditching the R-Rated stuff and basically just doing a "whatever" board. A place where people can post random questions about whatever, vent, look for random advice, etc. Just a thought. Could help keep down the number of random little "what are you thoughts on this, etc" type of threads. Just make a place to group them all together.

If that is what the Talk Amongst Yourselves is for, what is it exactly you want the big kid board to do different? I am not against this idea, but I struggle to understand what it is you want it to do/accomplish/be.

Basically what i"m taking away from this is there might be people within the Hydra community that are more..conservative and perhaps don't feel comfortable discussing things like their sex lives, drinking/drugs and other mature topics. Tails I think wants to give those people the option to not have to even view such things by creating a sub-forum for those of us who may want to.
I say let's give it a shot. Why not right?

I think Xavier hit the nail on the head there. Sounds like it'd be a good thing to at least try?
