Hi everyone,

It's come to my attention that some members are being blocked access to TVWBB because message threads contain the word "p*rn", as in photos of barbecue referred to as "food p*rn".

I've always been a little uneasy about the use of "food p*rn" on the BB, but never banned it because it's all in good fun and it's an increasingly popular phrase even in newspapers and other media. However, since it's having a negative impact on members ability to view TVWBB, I'm going to ask that you no longer use this word in posts.

Thanks for understanding,
Chris

I used to wonder why it was always spelled "pron" at a blog I visit. I guess I'm a tad slow.

Okay, but if we have to start using the phrase "pork tushie" to avoid the filters, I'm drawing the line.

And so we call it what it is; a labor of love.

Rusty, I can understand the filters, but "pork tushies" just blows me away! Every time I think about it, I break down. Try to explain that to the family. Confused

Wierd sense of humor, but that is SO funny!
