Okay, listen up.

This thread was meant to be welcoming and comfortable for everyone to visit. It was NOT meant to be -just- for pics of barely-there bikinis and/or tiny speedos every other post. A couple would be fine. I've FReepmailed both guys AND gals about this. I was not trying to keep some double standar alive. I am just trying to be nice and keep harmony among everyone, but apparently all I've done is piss everyone off. So fine, I'm done with it. No more pix on my homepage, no more OFSTs from me.

I agree with you 100%. The pics are getting pretty old. I dont think they add much to the original intent of this thread. We can do without them, although some of the ladies are really choice. Still, the constant barage of pics get old in a hurry.

In all honesty, I enjoy the cheesecake but I gotta agree. All the pics are making the whole OFST a little questionable for the office.

I counted the photos and there are many more nearly naked silicone laden unknown females than there are bathing suit wearing KNOWN male actor and sports figure photos.

As for voyeurism, they do not compare!

CHAUVINISM!

Aw, geez! Starting to remind me of the Canteen now!

Why doesn't someone just start a daily "Pinups" thread and be done with it?

It could even have a notation about, "If you are not human then don't click on this thread because it contains pics of humans." < /sarc >

I completely agree. We need more silliness, less T&A. If someone wants T&A learn how to use Google image search.

I agree.

And the references to cheese are making me itch.

No more pix on my homepage, no more OFSTs from me.

I will be very sorry if you keep that promise. I will not be sorry if you arrange for the barrage of beef/cheesecake to be cut back a bit. It's getting to the point where I have to look over my shoulder at work before reading the OSFT or wait until everyone else has gone home.

If you can, please keep these threads going. If you can't, thanks and a big Hee Haw Salute for having done such a fine job.

Shalom.

BigB, I don't think that shunning the OFST is the proper method to get your point across. You had a legitimate response to some when you stated they could hit abuse and report a post to the mods if they didn't like something. I have only been on your ping list for a few weeks, and it has been very entertaining as well as productive as I get loads of material to pass on to friends and coworkers. Lately however, it seems the pics competitions have hijacked what I perceive is the true purpose of the thread.

I tend to agree with most of the posters here that it would probably be a good idea to start a pix thread of Cheese and Beef cakes. I scroll through the OFST when I'm at work, and no, I shouldn't be doing it, but can't help it and it's definitely not a good idea to come up on some of the cheese or beef cakes when somebody is in the cube.

That being said, BigB does this as a favor for us all to vent some steam and have a fun time doing it. That doesn't mean we have to cross the line of civility (ladyjag calling all chauvinists) if we wear our heart on our sleeve or have thin skin.

BigB, please reconsider, it helps get the weekend off to a good start, and end any crappy weeks on an up note. Thanks for everything and .......................



Cheers!

SZ
