    Not sure if they always have, but I just logged onto the board and on the title screen, where it shows the latest posts on various forums, a thread in the Prison forum was listed. Is this normal? And if it is, should it not be changed, considering the nature of the majority of the prison forum threads?

    I'd imagine it's because prison was recently reactivated and quite a few people who are not banned have access to it.

    I think it is normal (once it was reactivated).

    I'd agree it should be changed.
    It can be a laugh reading the threads there especially knowing the history behind some of the bannings :D. There is also a lot of nasty stuff / abuse posted there though.

    It's not something that should appear on the front door of boards though imho.

    I think the prison forum is hilarious. Pighead often posts there, (he has access for some reason) and it makes for good humour.

    I think it probably shouldn't be on the start page all the same, but that being said, it is very funny to read if you know some of the reasons behind the bannings.

    Pighead sneaks all the goodies in. But we turn a blind eye and all to that.

    I didn't even know the prison forum existed until I saw it on the home page. Some of the threads were good for a laugh, but there was some pretty nasty stuff posted there. Pighead is just hilarious though :cool:

    I love reading the prison forum for a bit of comedy but i do agree that it shouldn't be on the front page as some of the posts can be very abusive.

    For this reason i propose that after someone's appeal has been denied their thread should be sent to the Thunderdome type forum where we can all enjoy a bit of banter with the inmates.

    Thunderdome posts have also been appearing iirc.

    Neither give those who visit the site a good impression.

    Totally agree. Imagine one of those posts was about asking a girl to loose her baby?!?!? Or wishing it upon her?!?!?!?!?!? I know that is a far flug theory but I think the point is good. Fair play to Rb for bringing it up.

    This thread wasn't started so people could have a go at Rb. Rb I think you'd be best to ignore the comments rather than replying. No point in ending up in trouble too. That subject has been done to death.

    Haven't noticed the Thunderdome appearing on the front page. Think the prison forum did when it was active though.
