I am legitimately offended by racist/sexist/homophobic remarks (except in some cases when it's sarcasm) on message boards and in general. But I know that it really can't be controlled. It's very important to some people to be able to call other people a fag. I really don't like it when people call each other fags (right John?). It makes me sick to my stomach. BUT, it has a different context to a lot of people. I don't think that we should use word filters on things like "black" or whatever, I think we should just warn the person, allow them to edit it, and if they don't, just delete the post. Welp, calling a black person "black" isn't actually racist.

I'm sorry, arf.ca is not good. Like at all. Using the word alternative, in any way, should be avoided.

Can you install a virtual zoo section on the new website and maybe a breathalyzer and follow the light to keep drunk and weedposts down?

Haha Darryl. And yeah, word filters can really throw a stick into the spokes of anybody who wants to be a racist/bigot/whatever. I'm actually getting more into the idea of this board.. it would be cool for it to appeal to a wider group of people, would definitely help attendance at shows too

I'm not good at the "train left this station at this time and is arriving in this staition doing 30 miles per hour, how many mini bottles of rye did the conductor drink" type questions.
Maybe picture puzzles?

I don't think there's a real need to separate things by genre. There will probably be the same sorts of subforums as there are here now -- general discussion, shows/promo, for sale, maybe something else cool. I think any divisions would be a) confusing, e.g. "does this go in punk or hardcore" and b) just kinda counter-productive to the whole community thing.
