I can understand that.

You probably also missed the time they had an 18+ site. It was poorly done, had straight up illegal things posted by members with zero repercussions, and was overall terrible
It lasted six months before they shut it all down, and by then, except for those posting illegal things, most had forgotten it existed

I'm not giving examples because I didn't join and what o heard was bad enough, no need to spread it around

oml, how could they think that was a good idea?

I don't think they expected people to become pits of depravity on it, just a mature place to talk about things that could get them in legal trouble for such convos on 13+ sites

Well when you assume your gonna get burned

Badly, in this case
I know a lot of people didn't join cuz the avis were butt-ugly
Take the base of Pantheon's avis, make it about 50% narrower, and then massively up the pixellation. Yick

Oh dear lords.

Yeaaaaaaaaaah
Their classic ones are bad enough, but considering when the site came to be, well, that's to be expected, especially considering the site has a shitton of items they'd have to remake to update them
