I'm thinking that would be equally as tacky.
How about well dressed professionals who about the products which they are selling, and showing of products of worth that people will actually be interested in? Crazy idea I know.
Think you just need to lighten up a bit OP. Not sure what your problem is with half naked women but whenever I've seen a monitor advertised on here over the last few years theres usually either a car or underwear woman on the screen.
It's not the 1940's any more. Sex is okay now.

Too late in the day to be april fool..
So this is serious

I tend to agree, the mods set the tone of the forums and at the moment its quite immature. Really shouldnt make out its one thing and act like its another when suits them...
Unfortunately in their positions they are buggered if they do, and buggered if they dont. Just a shame to see these forums gradually decline, wouldnt see half this stuff or tolerance a few years ago, nor the amount of inane posters neither...

I think having good looking people on your stand, whether half-naked or not, is part and parcel of many trade shows and exhibitions.
I'd agree that advertising it as your main feature is a bit 'Max Power' though.
Surely people want to see what you've got, or are just interested because they post on these forums, rather than because you've hired a couple of models.

I've been here a long time, and bought many things from the shop etc etc.
However, the recent direction OcUK seem to be taking is a little unsettling.
We (and I mean everyone here on the forums and at the shop) have turned this place in the the number one hardware and forum in the UK.
Why oh why are Ocuk now going down the route is it? Three examples:
1) booth babes *shudders* to help sell hardware at events, and the associate half naked girls draped over computer cases.
2) the thread with all the boobs/babes
3) the April fool 'porn' forum
I can't think of a worse direction the company could be going - very tacky.
I know it's all about separating yourself from the competition, but is this really the best you could come up with?
I think it's genuinely quite saddening.
Sure, it's ticks the boxes of all the horny, teenage geeks out there but, to be honest, I can find this rubbish anywhere over the internet with a few clicks of a button.
Why do OcUK think this is the way to go? Would love to hear more.
Am I the only one that is thinking this? Should I care?!....
Edit: Prime example: posted this thread and the first thing I see:
ocuk started out with dancing women gifs on the website didn't it?
always used to have babe threads until they where banned and most companies have booth babes.
I do find these things rather amusing after how long they've been pushing the OMG FAMILY FORUM line and slapping anyone on the wrist for getting carried away with such things, now it seems to be company policy.
I agree with the OP, find it all rather tacky really.
Can we have a real man like Freefaller instead?
The alternative is photos of 5UB draped over computer hardware.

You could say the forum has a PG rating. Parental Guidance, It's not a hard concept to grasp. Basically no swearing, no nudity and no graphic images.
