    It's not so much the "sexually aggressiveness" as it is that homosexuality is a very sensitive and controversial subject for many people. BZPower has a reputation for avoiding controversy to help keep people from being fired up over issues like this. I simply find that allowing this leave open a door for controversial discussion. Something BZP likes to avoid.

    We wouldn't have this problem if people would just drop the subject. ;)

     

    Anyways, you seem to have quoted my pre-edit post, so let me point it out here. You bring up hypocrisy, but if we do as you say - banning the homosexual content but not heterosexual content - that would be hypocritical.

     

    Anyways, yeah. We can avoid controversy by, y'know, not starting it or bringing it back up.

    Thanks for not sounding as rash as your previous post. :P

     

    Well, I didn't say to ban homosexual and not heterosexual. We may be better off just keeping kissing images out altogether. :rolleyes: Anyways, I too would like this discussion go no further here. But it needs to be said...

     

    You cannot avoid controversy by allowing controversial subject matter and telling people not to say anything about it.

     

    It just doesn't work that way.

     

    Edit: I did not unlock this entry to have the last word. (I didn't even know I could do that.) Apparently I submitted this post just before it got locked, but after Tufi posted.

    I don't think you know this, but the staff ARE considering it, and we HAVE considered it, and we HAVE deemed the kissing fine, because it's NOT sexually suggestive.

     

    There's really nothing inconsistent here. Please drop the subject.

    It may be a little overused, but it definitely has it's part in filmmaking. In cloverfield, the shaky camera was necessary because the camera was being held by one of the characters. I didn't really notice the shaky camera thing in Star Trek until you mentioned it. I guess it was well used there. IMO :P

     

    But you're right in that there are times (maybe even whole movies) where the camera should just stay still. I guess we just have to wait for the excitement of this new "technique" to calm down before its use it balanced out. ;)

    Could you make it light blue and gold?

     

    Who else would be happy with that?

    I think that's kind of implied. Toa of Water are referred to as "blue," but we know they can be light blue, dark blue, medium blue, and even green or white.

    Exactly, So it would only make sense for someone of psionics to be one of those shades of blue and a shade of gold. But I'm wondering, would yellow count as a shade of gold? (as it does in Mata Nui's set). Adds a bit more to their MoC-ability. :/

    Mac.

     

    :3

     

    :P

     

    Mac. I find they work so much better.

    Ditto. I haven't had a major problem for the first two years with my Mac. :P

     

    But seriously, I'd say Vista is fine. I've used it on one of my family members' computers many times, and haven't had much trouble at all. I'd say if your computer is a decent step up from the minimum system requirements then you're good. Otherwise, stick to XP.
