Thanks you very much for that second URL, I will certainly find people who will enjoy it. But I would rather you did not mix the huge historical and artistic interest of the image collection that can be found at http://sam.zoy.org/goatse/ with the dull contents of someone's toilets. If you do not want "this stuff" on your forum, then you should either choose your users more carefully or simply prevent them from linking to external images. You are not going to ask every person who hosts images you would not want on your forums to take them down, are you? Kind regards, -- Sam.
