exactly. And hopefully other people on this site who ARE under 16 see this and leave the site and delete their bimbo.

The site still isn't appropriate for under 18 persons and the people who are on the site already feel vindicated by the stupid things that the owner keeps saying.
I just took the time to read through the majority of this thread and I'm actually in disbelief with a handful of this.
Chris, the responses you've given to your community are comical and hardly short of typical "bad customer service" where copy/pasted responses are all you can offer. It's hard to believe you when you call this site a passion project when you don't care about its downfall.
You say that the changes of BL lies in the hands of the democracy but that should hardly exempt you from making any real efforts. Trusting in your in-game built democracy only carries itself so far. At the end of the day there are people running and hosting this site and it is NOT the democracy.
With the way responsibility is deflected, why not sell the site to someone who actually cares about it? Because it's your passion project?
Where's the passion in rejecting the community who've given the wellbeing of the site more thought than you have?
Your arguments on the age limit are completely juvenile. This site is named BIMBOLAND as I'm sure you're aware.
How can you comfortably allow minors onto your site that's built on sexual references and slang? I don't think there are many users here that think anything less than an 18+ restriction makes sense. You disagree? Okay, fine. While that is highly questionable and quite uncomfortable, your community doesn't want it. You said you've conceived the idea of BL with us in mind, so why not listen? Listening to your userbase and admitting you're wrong is a lot less embarrassing than lighting your 'passion project' on fire and calling it a day.
You've talked about making adjustments to the site to accommodate minors. While I appreciate the thought, how will you do that THOUROUGHLY and CORRECTLY without changing the core theme of this site? You can't have your cake and eat it too. You do realize many minors often join a site like this because the appeal is that they are too young for it and that they shouldn't be on here, right? Any investors willing to invest in a site like this with minors being allowed aren't worth doing business with.
I'd really appreciate if you'd read my post more than one time and try to let any of what I've said sink in.
Immediately combating against what I've said and deflecting everything onto Toki wont change the fact that your community is severely unhappy.

The more I read of this and the more I go back to read of this the worse the taste this leaves in my mouth. From a technical standpoint the changes that are going to have to be made are astronomical and will uproot not only the basic foundation of the website but also displace and alienate half of the community. At the current moment the community is up in arms trying to defend what they feel is morally and from a legality sense very sound. The fact that there are so many people with this same viewpoint being ignored speaks extremely poorly and gives off toxic and negative vibes that I want no part of. When originally joining everything about the site screamed 18+ and while at one point I was thinking about sharing the site with friends looking for a nice little place to enjoy I cant in any good mindset suggest this place due to the massive storm of legal action it will likely face due to these decisions.. in short The overall community ive interacted with has been fantastic many of the people pushing to keep 18+ have the best interest in the longevity and sustainability of the server from a moral, legal, and business standpoint. If you're not willing to listen then the failure is truthfully on yourself.
Here's about the top 8 things that should be done before anything else is considered.
These things are in the best interest of the website and any possible future investors.
1. Get a lawyer to look over the website for at least local English Laws
2. Username changes
3. remove 18+ items (or lock to 18+)
4. remove sexy category (or lock to 18+, meaning those in that category are blocked to minors)
5. enter age when signing up
6. remove sex/drug references throughout site
7. block people below 18 from being SM/PB
8. Remove any Copyright infringing materials before the respective copyright holders find the site and sue you into oblivion Chris.

Literally speaking, you are correct about that. Digital art of nipples and sex toys are not literal nipples and sex toys. However, something not being tangible in the real world does not mean it's harmless. Adults exposing minors to explicit art is still illegal and very inappropriate, even if it's not images of actual nipples. This needs to be fixed as many others in this thread have said; either remove NSFW things from this site, make them inaccessible to anyone under 18, or completely ban minors of any age from Bimboland.Pixelated images of nipples ARE NOT real life images of nipples and are fine. All content is suitable for minors over 16+.Images of sex toys are NOT sex toys.

We don't want what happened with Miss Bimbo to happen again.
