Hidden Forums

[Tessera]

Most of the forums on this board
are hidden from guests.

I've decided to set things up that way, so as to avoid any future conflicts over the fact that anyone -- kids included -- can find their way here and browse.

To read and post replies to the bulk of this board, you must become a registered user.

Registered users are expected to be adults over the age of 18. Obviously, I don't have any real way of verifying someone's true age, but by stating the rules in advance, I can sleep at night and not worry about being negligent.

So to sum it up: to see this entire board, you simply gotta be registered. Guests will only see the topics listed under the "Public" category (like this one). Sorry to have to set it up like that, but I'm trying to be as responsible as I can be here, without going overboard.

All my best,

FOLLOW UP:

In response to concerns about underaged guests having access to various areas of this board,
I've decided to be courteous towards concerned parents. The permissions for nearly all of the
categories and topics on this board have now been set to "Members Only" status.

This means that literally hundreds upon hundreds of different posts wil no longer be visible
to anyone who is anonymously browsing through this board.

As has been stated quite often around here, tessmage.com is an adults-only website and we
wish to respect the concerns of parents as much as is reasonable. Thus, the more risque` areas
of this board will be off-limits to guests from now on.

Sorry about that, folks.. but I don't need any headaches from the PTA.

I should also mention that the forums devoted to my own mods are likewise hidden from guests. I know that kinda sucks, but I create some fairly explicit (and realistic) nude female re-skin mods and as such, they will likewise remain off-limits to casual browsers of this board.

If you are using one of my texture mods and you wish to obtain support WITHOUT actually joining this board, then the best you can do is send me an e-mail describing any PROBLEMS that you may be having. PLEASE DO NOT E-MAIL MOD REQUESTS TO ME. I get waaaaaay too many of those in my mailbox and I simply can not respond to all of them. If you have some sort of project or professional proposition, then that's different -- go ahead and send me an e-mail that describes your project. Or if you are a woman, then you could try including an actual full-frontal nude pic of yourself in your e-mail -- and maybe I'll send you a quick reply. If you send a frontal -and- a rear view of yourself, then your chances of a reply will easily have tripled (unless you have any tattoos, which I detest).

Otherwise, I urge most users of my mods to simply register on this board and then post your various comments, requests, etc. in one of the threads devoted to my work. You will almost certainly get my full attention that way. 

Thanks a bunch for your understanding -- and I need a secretary...   :'(

UPDATE:

The "Artwork" and "Screenshots" forums should now be available to all registered members.

Previously, those boards did not open up until you had reached a minimum post count.

That rule is no longer in effect. All members should now be able to access both areas.

Enjoy.
