So we go from porn to no pictures to porn again.


This forum has had it's day.


Dave Sperling obviously doesn't care about the members. After all it is purely a business.



Thanks Dave for providing such a seriously broken job threatening forum.

Would you want to open that at work? With your co-teacher watching, lol


This site is possibly the worse modded site I've ever seen.


All the mods are responsible for all forums and most of them are never here.....

Sure your students would be impressed to see a bottle up a man's arse.

No chance of losing your job then is there.

Just realised it's an avatar.



The owner of this forum is taking the fucking piss.

Any idiot can setup an avatar size limitation in phBB - it's not exactly hard.


Shows that he obviously doesn't give shit about anything else.


I don't give a flying *beep* if the mods/op is waiting for one more IP address from Keving what's his face.

The fact is my daughter could have been looking at the screen when that photo opened. How do you explain that?


As I said this place is a disgrace.

I hear ya. I wouldn't want porn or that disgusting image shown to my students or my wife. Some posters avatars are very borderline and when my wife sees them she asks about them. At work .. I jump on and off Dave's . Always ready for the unexpected.

Mrsquirrel, you rightly complain about the pics that have been posted. Your avatar to me is funny, but I wouldn't want a co-teacher or kids thinking I was looking at a website about *beep*-mongering.
There's not a lot mods can do if muppets what to post sick pics. They'll be removed as soon as they notice them

That picture inspired me to try to fit a bottle up my asss too. This is gonna be awesome. I'm gonna start with plastic though because it's softer.

One of my friends in art school was into glass blowing. He was all about making pipes for hippies and vases and gallery things all out of colored glass. Really funny. One day I went to his place and he was making dildos. Apparently someone caught on and became a loyal client. He was selling glass swirly dildos starting at $800.00 a piece. He went on the road with hippy festivals, all kinds of whacky things going on in that dudes life.

Well the one solution I would see is for avatars to go through some kind of submission process. But yeah a forum where you can't post pics kinda sucks. Maybe they could instead just allow longtimers to post pics and avatars. Although that may be beyond the reach of this sites phpBB capabilities.

Rather than reflexively trashing the site and the mods, why not focus on the malicious intent of someone who is apparent hell-bent on destroying these forums.

Aside from circumventing the no image-posting provision (which I don't like anyway) he somehow had the technical know-how to delete the content of all posts on "crazy arcade's" thread warning people about his "GEPIC" thread.

He also cleverly calculated that mods would be less available to respond quickly on a weekend day.

Those who unduly attack the mods and administrators because of disturbances caused by "aquafresh" are helping that creep achieve his aims.

The bottom line is this:

Teaching ESL in Korea will make an otherwise normal person crazy, disgruntled, angry and send them into a psychological talespin. This site is simply a reflection of that. This site is full of real people in Korea expressing themselves in their real lives. This is it, this is what it is here......

I notice that the job boards for other countries aren't quite this insane, not even close. You can really see the different vibes for the different countries here on this site.

This is sparkling Korea baby! This truely is what Korea is all about. Korea is no paradise, it's not cool, it's not anything like that. This is what the scene in Korea is. Full of freaks, wierdos, and other carnival-like wierdness. And i'm not talking about a fun carnival. I'm talking more like the clown from Steven King's It. Maybe that clown was from Korea?

Can some person ban his IP address so that he can never post awful stuff up here.

Interesting that you blame the site and not the people who post on the site. I take that back--it isn't all that interesting.
