Question

Scoobynet..whats with all the swearing in the Topic headlines? It really makes the site look pathetic and aggressive. I know people have bad experiences but this site used to look quite friendly, now it looks like Maxpower.com, or Loaded.com (is there one? LOL)
It'd be nice if people could keep it clean on the headlines..even if you have to resort to swearing within the post.
On another note posts like Frenchies Geneva piccies are excellent , the old spirit of scoobynet upheld!

Try http://www.visordown.com if you think this place is bad, it makes Scoobynet seem like it's run by the Church.

Swearing is all part of the f*ckin youngsters vocab, being a youngster myself (well compared to you probs!) it is abit **** that we have to swear to express ourselves! But hey life's a b!tch.

Hope this clears things up Old Fart!

I'm fine with swearing in the post you bunch of fkcen ncuts ! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] I swear like a trooper down the pub. I guess I'm just sick of how crappy the board looks at first glance these days..I'd hate my wife or kid to see the board these days...yeah I'm old, but this is a pretty recent happening, it used to be a much *nicer* place.
Now I sound like any one of 100 posts in the last year about 'How things used to be' hohum

Could make the board over 18s only bu then again it seems most of the swearing is done by the under 18 element .

Its an age thing (another old fart writes). Doesn't bother me at all, this mock swearing. In fact scoobynet is remarkably puritan compared to most places. I probably can't say spavined goatsucker without being struck by falling WRX residual.
