Tugs at my memory, and if it's not so, I apologise.

As per the "One Stop Rules Shop"

Forbidden links: There is not, and will not ever, be a definitive list of forbidden links. Since we don't control the content of other websites, a link which was fine yesterday may be forbidden today. Each link is judged on a case by case basis, and occasionally the Mods will outlaw certain sites.

-Any outlawed site is forbidden in the forums, as a signature, as a motto, as a World Factbook entry, or in any other format.

-General classes of forbidden links include porn or other sexual imagery, warez (see below), sites promoting other illegal activities, referral links (see below), or sites that have links to such sites as a principal component.

-Some generally unacceptable popular sites include ebaumsworld, albinoblacksheep, and plasticnipple.

-Don't link to sites where you (or a friend/relative) stand to gain financially. Feel free to contact Jolt for information on paid advertising.

I understand why ebaums and plasticnipple are banned (stolen content and adult content), but what's the problem with albinoblacksheep? I've never gone to it myself, just heard about it, and wasn't aware of anything bad about it. Just wondering...

It probably has links to some of those other sites that are off limits, and IIRC thats a no-no too.

Well, isn't that potentially true of any site? :confused:

Some of the videos aren't PG13 or whatever it is. I'm not sure if that's the main reason it's up there, but its one of the more popular flash video sites, which is why its got a specific mention. I guess. The mods have said (in that quoted bit actually) that they take links on a case by case basis, but some sites just get banned.
