    Hi All,

    As you know, the message board has been having problems with Google AdSense due to many images that violated Google's policy. I attempted to remove these images, but there are just too many. Therefore, I decided to clean up the BS Forum, as 99% of these images were posted in this forum. I am going to prune all threads that are older than 6 months. If there's an older thread you want me to keep, please post the URL in this thread.

    Thank you

    can you archive old threads so we don't lose them?

    I think that is fine. Best way to handle things. If some topic is deleted, we can just start a new one, knowing not to post those pictures in it.

    I wouldn't best surprised if certain people were going back to very old threads and editing posts to include these images...

    I think the mods/you should look closer at these avatars...That may be a good reason why there is alot of issues with these images showing up with Google AdSense. Not to put this guy on blast, but I assume this guy's avatar is probably something that needs to be changed. No?

    However appealing that exterior looks

    Funny... I think I saw another user with that exact same avatar a couple of days ago. Can't remember who.
