The more important thing, I think, is that wherever they are, they should be in the same place...

You are quite right, those who may be offended should simply opt not to open the thread, but sadly the world doesn't always work that way. At least if both were to be in the backroom, it can be shown that steps had been taken to minimise any possible offence.

I wasn't aware that there was one either, but as Shieldmaiden so eloquently pointed out, such things do appeal to some members, so there you go.....

Maybe it is some kind of trick to get women into the backroom ??

Wo-men? This is the internet sir! And a gaming site to boot! Surely you aren't suggesting that there might be those of a female persuasion here? You jest!

Just out randomly making a point, I'm sure some USA cooperation or other said a while ago that 40% of their clients were female. Link.

Alternatively, you could look at another report which says that women actually outnumber men (64% of online gamers being women). Link.

In addition, statistically 3.6% of all people in the UK are openly gay too (although something like 6.1% have had some sort of "crush" on somebody of the same gender at some point yet don't identify under the gay category). This was a random sample taken in 1992, but more recent surveys put the numbers higher. The figure is similar in the US with 4% of the population identifying under the gay spectrum (including bisexual) according to CNN exit polls for the 08 election. Link.

So yes, we need a hunk thread (and it needs posters).

I trust that you mean "members to go to that thread and post" as opposed to "really BIG pictures that you could hang on a wall"?

Okay, I'm going back to my corner now.......

No but if they were both in the backroom that would be prejudice to the frontroom as the dominant babe thread is in the frontroom, so i would create another protest campaign to move the babe thread back to the frontroom

Actually, it would make more sense to move the Hunk Thread next to its sibling in the Frontroom (which is, as others have pointed out, the Kingdom of Peace and Love).

People who are offended by ripped abs and curvy flesh should not be on teh internets at all. Ever.
