Vampenguin (The_Return) has left.

[MichaelMyers]

Vampenguin asked me to tell everyone from now on he will only be on on rare occasins (i.e., library or friend's house). He said his dad regularly checks his internet history now and does not want him speaking with anyone he has not met in person. I was asked to pass this message on to the HDC community.

That is all.

lmao that's a bit better advice. I read him a few odd posts and he was laughing his ass off lol. I still like that last one best. allmykids, if you're 40, why would you care what your parents say? No offense, but I doubt someone would try to rape you, you'd likely be the rapist/seducer lol.

[urgeok]

i'm 43 and i hope my kid cares what I say.

but ...

i'd also hang with my kid to see whats going on and I'd hope that we'd have the kind of relationship where he could tell me what he's into - and i could trust him to have the good sense not to do anything careless.

Sounds like (no offence, but seriously...) daddy's being yet another judgemental twat.
If he actually paid attention to the topics that were being discussed within the forums, even OURS...he'd see that there's really not that much to worry about, and if he's taken the time to teach his child well, he's not going to go and make any stupid, life altering decisions on the basis of things that are said on an internet forum anyway.

I could be wrong about him, but going by the information available to me, he should actually have a look at the issue at hand rather than handing out judgement based on his own pre-conceived opinions of something he most likely knows little about.
If he does his son the courteousy of offering a little trust and understanding, their relationship would most likely improve as well.

Ok, I'm done.

First off I was Joking, Second I didn't know there was an age limit on who could be raped. And third Mabey there is a murderer online. a lady was just murdered by another lady she met online last week.

Very true.....life before the internet. Its most definately not the same world I grew up in as a kid. When is the last time you saw a bunch of kids playing ball in the street. Or manhunt...do kids still play manhunt?

I don't know if its a bad thing but computers and video games have taking over our childrens lives, mine included. I threw my boy out the other day to get some fresh air and after screaming about "the big shining ball in the sky burning his eyes" he layed on the ground in a fetal position and cried for Viewtiful Joe to save him.

You should read a paper once in a while, there are 80 year old being rape. And if you knew anything you would know rape is never about sex, it's about power and control. And to call someone the raper, due to their age is not funny at all. Pretty tacky if you ask me.

YEAH!!!
....OR a rapist!!!:mad:

[orangestar]

I remember a time before my house had the internet...or at least before we had DSL so I didnt really care.

I was outside alllll the time and I had cool little made up games that I played with my neighboors.

But I dont know what I'd do without the internet now. I'd get so bored and I wouldnt know any of you fine people.

Well said cheeb.

I'd also like to say that this -- and any other online forum -- is just a microcosm of society. You can't sheild your children from reality. You can inform them of right and wrong, etc. But ultimately it is out of the parents' hands.

Hopefully, you can start posting on a regular basis again Vamp.

Lmao sheild your children from reality? This is reality? If there is anything i can do to keep my children from harm, i'm going to do it. They can hate me, but it's for their own good. And it's more about from exmaple then informing them.

Until they are 18, it will always be in my hands.

I agree 100%

[Gren the cake]

there was life before the internet and there is life with it. what is reality? what is natural? even virtual reality and little online bf/gfs are still 'reality'

and just like someone from the internet can kill u, same with the person who delivers ur newspaper, the person at church, in the grocer etc etc... and consider that majority of murders/assaults are between people who knows each other, either friends or acquaintances... (as opposed to strangers)

[urgeok]

the one thing the internet provides is anonimity.
true a 'bad person' could get at you in the real world. but not without you seeing them.

I will say that the 'net' has been given a bad rap because of the few times some scumbag has used a chat line, etc to lure some young person with false promises but that is a very small percentage. You've got more to fear from a 'trusted' friend or family member.

But as the threat does exist no matter how small, kids should be educated .. but not in an all or nothing approach .. but with education and common sense.

There will always be vulnerable kids .. because of whats going on in that particular home, but those kids are in danger no matter what.

Blaming the internet on the downfall of society is another pathetic attempt to excuse poor parenting skills.

and as far as video games go .. i dont think there are a lot of kids giving up on playing outside to play video games ..
in the past those kids didnt want to go outside anyway .. they'd read or watch TV - if allowed to.

again ... parenting skills ...
My kid has a gameboy and our house rule is that he only plays it in the car on trips.

Parenting is tough .. there are things you can potentially screw up at every turn .. but that doesnt mean you fucking give up.

A true bad person will see that you not seeing them, is a plus. So when you do meet, who is gonna know any the wiser.

Well i have to say, it's more then a few. There is a site www.pervertedjustice.com you can see there are quiet a few that are wanting to meet children. Not to mention all the others who meet women, not children and cause harm.

Although a family friend or family memeber may be the bad guy, but the odd's of catching someone whom you met off the internet is alot smaller then catching and prosecuting uncle John for example.

The internet is a downfall. It shows "us" as a people, can't be as we are on here as we are in real life. If we lived in a society with no repercussions, the internet is what it would be like.

A true definition of who we are, is what we do when no one is watching.

Or whatever lol

[Gren the cake]

"Blaming the internet on the downfall of society is another pathetic attempt to excuse poor parenting skills."

Nice.

"Although a family friend or family memeber may be the bad guy, but the odd's of catching someone whom you met off the internet is alot smaller then catching and prosecuting uncle John for example."

what is this based off of? Its all situational. If someone is being molested by uncle john, wouldnt they PERHAPS be more inclined to keep they mouth shut since its a relative, as opposed to a stranger? That said relative could use their power/influence to keep them to shut up?

that and it depends on hwether or not u actually meet etc, and the crime. lets say in a rape, both situations would be left with physical evidence but in the internet case odds are there would be some sort of log, whether on the TIF, email, website etc..

what does the internet do? provide information and connect people from all over the world. of course with the good info and the good people theyres gonna be the BS as well as the pedophiles/assholes etc.

i wouldnt shut my kids from it but if its all they do then yah, id regulate it. as for talking with people, let em talk. just becuz we can physically see someone, it makes them safer?

You're apparently a control freak.

You can bring your children up any way you deem safe and fit, etc. But that doesn't mean they aren't going to be exposed to questionable content, and turn out the way you want them to.

All you can do is be a good parent and provide them with honest answers and teach them to make solid choices in life.

You can't control every aspect of their lives.

[urgeok]

the internet isnt any more of a downfall than rap, TV, paintball, extremist fanatics, etc ..

WE are the downfall .. people.

A certain percent of our population are bent towards excess. They cannot control their greed.

We are greedy as we exit the womb .. we need to eat to survive.
That same survival instinct stays with us but as not alll people are equal, not all people will be able to temper that greed instinct with common sense, or the desire to work together in a society.

Be it their wiring is wrong, or they are weak and subject to stronger negative influences, or their parents let them get away with everything because it was easier for them that way ...
these people will always find a way to hurt and bother the other people around them.

I dont want to hear that the reason is because we are becoming godless because i can cite a lot of references (not with the complete and historical accuracy that Kemal can) where devout christians have caused more harm in the world than good.


The problem is people. We are a parasite on this planet and the good ones cannot repair the damage done by the bad ones. They work faster and with a greater effect.

There is no easy answer .. we are all driven to extiction by our own basic insatiable greed. Our 'survival mechanism backfiring like a bastard.

I know this sounds like melodramatic crap but its as fucking clear as crystal. Ask any environmentalist.

When it comes to their well being damn right i'm a control freak. But when the child is a minor, it is your job as a parent to control their access to "questionable content". We aren't talking about parenting in general.

If not letting a child do whatever they want is considered sheltering, then so be it. If there are rules and structure, they will have more respect and trust in you. Consistancy is the key to that. Sheltering to you could mean something different then it does to me, but i'm not gonna raise my girls under a rock, if that's what you think.

I absolutely agree with you regarding minors (and I don't even know how old this Vamp dude is anyway...but I was assuming that he was at least 18). In fact...there is no way in hell that minors should be able to even access this forum. There should be some kind of age verification or something.

And no...I don't think you would raise your girls under a rock so to speak...I was just trying to say that no matter how you raise your kid(s), in a lot of cases they are just going to do what they want anyway. But, no, I am not implying that you shouldn't try to regulate what they are exposed to. But my original statement is a moot point if Vamp is under 18, because in my opinion...he shouldn't be able to have access to this forum in the first place.

That would suck, I've grown attached to this place.

I don't see why anyone over 13 shouldn't be allowed on this forum. It's full of nice and repectful members, unlike 99% of all other internet forums.

No, I understand. I don't know how old you are...but you seem more mature and are able to handle any of the conversations on here. But, if I were a parent...I would have a hard time exposing my kid to some of the stuff on here. Assuming my kid was under 18.

I agree that this is a great forum, full or great members (for the most part), but sometimes the topics get a bit edgy for minors. Just my opinion.

Rock on.

[ChEEbA]

I'd say an MA15+ rating would be an idea...at most.

[KRUGERKID13]

i wouldnt let my kid on here simply due to all the damn penis pictures

[ChEEbA]

well, there IS that too....but avoiding penis/porn pictures on the internet is like taking a shower without getting wet, yknow?
Almost equal probability on most sites for that kinda stuff...
But I guess this forum being horror based, there might be at LEAST a little bit...

[KRUGERKID13]

well an educated parent would spend time on the forum and put any of the people who did the posting they didnt like then id put them on the ignore list (thats what i did to minimize the penis pics)

[ChEEbA]

I agree, like I was saying, if attention was paid rather than labelling ALL that is here immediately "bad" or a potential threat.
If I had a child, I would try and involve/educate myself in that which they are involved.

[Gren the cake]

OR u could do that thing where the pics are just links that u click on....

[MichaelMyers]

Yeah, but what if he saw "Bestiality" in Grenny's sig and googled it?

[ChEEbA]

Not to mention tha it's not exactly hard to prepare a "surprise"
link simply by renaming a pic.
Porn is not something that can be easily avoided, but I don't think that's even the issue here.
It seems to be yet another case of "horror = bad" syndrome.
I'd throw out a personal invitation for this guy to come and express his point of view on the situation, and to discuss what we're really "about"...not that I think he'd ever accept...

[urgeok]

i've never heard anyone refer to horror as bad.
But I will say that horror can = inapropriate.

It would be crazy to deny that there arent a lot of films in the genre that could be damaging to the wrong minds at the wrong time.

I sure dont want any kid of mine seeing Last House on the Left, Hellraiser, or any slasher films for that matter until he is able to understand exactly what is going on.

Vamp seems to have a grasp on reality .. as far as we can tell from a forum.

It might simply be a case of his dad not understanding what really goes on once a kid sits in front of a computer on the net.
There are still a lot of people who have no use for the PC and focus on the negative stories about the mysterious internet that they hear on the news.
Some parents will find it easier parenting to ban, instead of getting involved and understanding the truth.

or, for all we know he could simply be being punished for doing something stupid.
We wont know for sure until he comes back and tells us.

[ChEEbA]

I was referring to the people that judge all things horror or horror related as immediately bad, those that blame horror for certain maniacs and their lack of self control.
I wasn't saying they called it bad specifically, but yeah...I agree that a person should be over a certain age before witnessing some of the more hardcore/innapropriote contex horror films....not necessarily the "reccomended" age, but yknow, there's a point as to HOW young a person should be - and even then individual maturity should be taken into account.
I agree with your assessment on vamps grasp or reality, I think he's more than mature enough to kick it with us.

[The_Return]

Muhahahahahaha


Once again, the Penguin has risin from the ashes. Simple way outta my dad finding out: I have Windows XP, so I just made another account on the computer. The internet history is separate, and when my dad wants to check my history, I can just hide the account. Easy as kittens.

But ya, this site, and any other horror forums, are just prying on my dad's paranoia. He hates horror movies, he hates the internet. So that makes Horror.com prime enemy #1, I guess.

Thanks for missing me though:D

See, I agree with you...that was my point initially. But I didn't know we were referring to a 13-14 year old. Which in that case...I think there is a lot of inappropriate content on here.

And like you said...I have a neice who is 14, and she is always hanging out with the adults in my family when we have get togethers. Now, my family is a bunch of loose-mouthed Italians...shit flies around her and I yell at them to tone it down. And they say..."Awww, she's heard worse than that from her friends." Which is probably true, but I don't think that should allow us to just drop the f-bomb every other sentence in front of her, etc.

Not every kid is exposed to the horror's of the down and out life out there. And just because you hear worse in your family doesn't make it right to expose others to it, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

I find it a little funny that you guys seem to think this a really bad place for 13-14 kids who hear and do worse everyday than they read on this site.

Cursing is very rare in my family btw.

To think that you can protect your kid from the world is just... Overprotecting your kid probably does more harm than underprotecting her/him.

To think that you can protect your kid from the world is just... Overprotecting your kid probably does more harm than underprotecting her/him.

Not every kid does worse or see worse, give some of their parents and them a bit of credit.

And to not want your child visiting a horror site is not overprotecting them. I think that's a bit extreme. Just cause a parent has rules, doesn't mean they are being overprotective.

Apprently your idea of being overprotective is different then mine. Not letting them do certain things or being with certain people shows that you care, just letting them do what ever they want does nothing for their self esteem. As a parent it's their job to nurture it as apposed to telling them " well do what you want cause i don't want rules and structure to hinder you"
Kids want their parents to let them know what to do, lord knows they have a hard enough time making decisions on their own.

The day you stop telling your kids what you think is best, your telling them "hey i don't give a shit about you" IMO

And the day you start not giving a shit about what your kids think, and only what YOU think is best, is the day they begin to hate you.

It's my job as the parent to know what's best. Why? Cause i have lived more and expirenced more. I'm not talking as the nazi parent, but come on.

And if they hate me cause i won't let them do every fuckin thing, then so be it. I as a parent deserve the respect, as i in turn have given them the same.

Even now with my 4 year old, i have no problems saying sorry to her if the situation calls for it. Why? Cause that shows her i value her and respect her. But if she comes to me at 10 wanting to wear some slut gear, no, i'm not gonna let her. And yes she may hate me, but there is something that you don't think about. Every good parent knows to comprimse, that way everyone wins.

Blah blah blah

But....wearing slut gear/hangin' with the wrong crowd...etc
Is pretty different from cruising around a horror forum.

Clearly there's an interest there, and it's being stomped on, why?
Pre-conceived ideas about horror and those that have an interest in it. Same old story - and it's a story that only gets told by those that are well...ignorant about the whole horror deal...

I agree, up until a certain age, a child should not be exposed to graphic or innapropriote material, and yes, it should be up to the parent to determine when is the right time.
However, just saying "no" to a particular genre of film is not very productive at all. There's just no reason for it.
Taking more of an interest, even checking out the forum themselves, kicking back and watching a few horror films with their kid, seeing that they don't take it as gospel, might be an idea. I think the whole thing is with parenting (although I've only had a little brother myself), is that there's some things you gotta be prepared to meet half way on, at least until the point that it DOES become a cause for concern.
