At the moment the vast expanse of sites I host and this place are making me 0.0.0 $ a month, However to keep our server up and runing we will need to start earning some form of revenue. To do this one of our ideas is google ads, however this means no porn, no swearwords, etc. What do you guys think?

Porn I couldn't care less about. But swearing might be going a little far.

I'll probably put an automatic sensor on it, so it turns fuck into fu** or something likewise. That wouldn't be so bad would it?

Kinda do what farked up is dfoing with them. Make it so only guests or bots can see the censored words. Because I mean, censoring is a bit too far. Its not like i'm saying we have to swear, its fun! or anything, it would just suck.

Farked is playing with the source code, and mysql query database, and as you can see even though he is an "experienced programmer" he has fucked a few things up. So I think its best to leave that side of these forums alone, hell even some minor mods (installation of arcade for example) caan cause unwanted headaches sometimes.

I agree.

Censorship is one of the downfalls of modern society.

I guess, as long as it keeps the forums up.... External image not preserved — inspect source: http://homegrownforums.com/forums/html/emoticons/content.gif kinda sucks though that we have to be censored,....maybe we could use some of your information in the other thread...like you know how you said a word doesn't have to be spelled rite as long as the first and last letters are the same to be recognized......we could do like Fcuk and siht and dman and stuff........

Yeah, me too.

I wouldn't mind clicking adds if it's for a worthy cause.
