Due to the fact that this is a "G" rated forum, we have decided that those discussions are inappropriate for this board even though they are allowed in the game. As a reminder, all other bf/gf/dating is also not allowed (see existing guidelines).

Thank you for your understanding and patience as we continue to keep vmkforums safe and enjoyable for everyone.

Oh my gosh, thank you so much! Thank goodness for Moderaters :happy:

Thanks all of the moderators/admins. I know there is a big majority of users on VMK who support bf/gf talk, and also a large majority that does not. Thanks mods for stopping this talk. Keep those great forum rules coming

I tottaly agree. I mean, these fourms are for children of all ages. If people want to date, then do in it person (wicth I think is safer, anyway) because who could this be? A 10 year old; dating a 55 year old! It could be anyone. And, it just makes people not want to go on these fourms. Some children can't handle "let's make out online", witch I think is pretty nasty myself. My point is that we have to keep a clean, safe, fourms website. The next thing you know, they will be doing it on VMK

Thanks for doing that! I disliked all that talk about gf/bf alot.

First of all, let me say that I will support this decision by the moderators. I know they have a job that can be rough, and making this rule will hopefully make their job, and all of our experiences on the forum, better.

On the other hand, I'm sorry that this rule was made, and that it was considered necessary.

One of the unique things about this forum is that it is multi-generational. I have been on many Disney forums, and they are usually dominated by either adults OR kids, but very rarely is there a mix. This is the first forum I've been a member of where kids, teens, young adults, and older adults are all talking about the same things. It has been educational to me, and I hope it has for others as well.

I will admit that the bf/gf debate has, quite frequently, been quite heated. And I'm very sorry it has. Perhaps on this topic more than any others the different views and outlooks were most clear, and perhaps this was where it was most important that we talk. In these discussions I was a part of, I truly learned more about different perspectives on this from a wide variety of people. It shaped my opinion, and (again) I hope others understood both sides of the issues better. I hope some have improved their discussion and communication skills as well.

With this debate gone, the discussions already feel less significant. It seems that all the posts on this issue have been replaced by people asking for Green Flip-Flops - hardly a worthwhile replacement.

I haven't seen any on the site, but I just joined so


Good thing though, i'm against that kind of thing.

I'm new, so I didn't see all the clutter messages about dating and "taken" or "not taken", but it sounds like it was a wise decision to eliminate this kind of talk on the forum. Thanks, Mods for doing a great job.

I have to agree here; the majority of discussions on this as well as other topics have been rather interesting. I can understand the job the moderators must have had sorting though it, though.

In general, I think the posts (even the trade posts) have sort of lost their spark since the end of summer. Maybe just fewer people posting, period.

I, too, like the cross-generational topics that one can get many viewpoints. That is a unique quality of this forum.

I also agree that posts have lost a spark, but not to do with this particular rule. Rather, I feel that it is because people have less time to spend online due to school starting up and the like.

Yeah i'm glad they stopped that. This is a site to talk about vmk! not an online dating service!!
