motobrokane, i wish that we were all adults here (no offense to the age-challenged). as you know, there are a lot of active younger moped enthusiasts, and there's no way to keep kids who are even younger from reading this stuff. my son's ten, and he's really into mopeds. he's starting to spend more time on the internet, and he'll be on moped army as soon as he finds it. it's just a matter of time before he's reading these posts. not that it's the end of the world (as far as i'm concerned) when he does, and i'm sure he won't be the first pre-teen reading the OT posts in the GF. i just don't think that most GF posters bear in mind how public that forum is.
this is really a separate issue, though. a separate OT forum wouldn't make it any harder for ten year olds to find the juicy stuff, unless it were somehow age restricted. in general i get a kick out of the OT posts. many of them are funny, most of the rest are harmless. i think it would clean up the outside image of this site to move them out of the general forum, but then i'd have to check yet another forum whenever i choose to blow time at mopedarmy.com...
