The direction of OcUK

It's an idiom as I'm sure you know. i.e. get over yourself, deal with the situation, and realise that it really isn't a big deal ;)

Well so it is. One would never have guessed :p and there is no situation to get over. Some people are just far too serious for a Monday morning. ;)

To be honest, if OCUK continues to sell hardware and peripherals at great prices and with the best customer service bar none, I couldn't care less how they advertise. I find the forums liberal and expressive but with a good amount of control to keep things in check.
 
Got no issue with it to be fair.

More boobs........I like boobs.

best thing on planet = good looking women .

who buys majority of high end pc stuff ? = geeks.

geeks big lust in life high end pc parts and **** :p

just cutting through the bs :D

All This +1

I think it's stupid that this is supposed to be a family friendly forum. If mom and dad want to sit with kiddies and surf something there's so much on the net for them.

In the end this is a lads forum, for lads by lads and by Odin's beard we should be free to post lads things. Includes boobs, bums and babes, it's also be scientifically proven to boost moral among men and lift the spirits.

RRRAAAAAA!!!!! :cool:
 
If I worked in an office I would find looking at the forum during break a little awkward because of that banner at the top, web pages with models at the top are usually ones with suspect content.

Thread with boobs - don't see the point in bringing it in here, although it it nice to having someone fetch you the best pictures without having to go look yourself.

I think as we have female members this is something that should be avoided, they might be fine with it or they might feel obliged to pretend to be fine with it to fit in, but either way being the gender that gets oggled at the most probably gets a bit boring, particulary as we are not the most attractive bunch of males on the planet.
Apart from Freefaller of course, no homo.

I'd agree with someone else that making this forum child friendly is bad because kids are really annoying until they get to around 23. However making it "adult" friendly with swearing and boobs everywhere is far more annoying.
 
I haven't read through 9 pages but I completely agree with the OP. If you are 14/15 then great, computers and cleavage. For those of us who are a little older I can't help think it's overwhelmingly tacky and lacks class.

However, it should be said that it's more likely to be a poor moderating decision than the shops owners but unfortunately it reflects badly on the owners and the OcUK business as a whole.
 
Glad I wasn't the only one that thought the Booth Girls is really tacky. Although that might be due to my age and the fact I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years now. So most likely I am not the target audience ?
 
Christ Almighty, where are all these castrated men coming out from the woodwork coming from?

I'm 35 and i love looking at women and i always will, maybe you need a long look at yourselves if you can't handle looking at God's work ;)
 
I can't understand what all the fuss is about, at nearly every big show most major manufacturers and software companies have scantily clad babes on their stands. Intel do it, AMD do it, Nvidia do it so why not ocuk? If you don't like looking at them, go fish out your stash of homos weekly or something.

Equally you could say they haven't needed to use women before and have done well enough so why now?

Unnecessary.

All those of you complaining about not being able to browse at work. Well then, get on with some work, or look at other threads - it had a NSFW tag on it anyway.

The first thing I did when I saw the thread was alert my boss of it's existance, he's worn the letters off his F5 key.
 
Damn what have i missed this weekend !!!

Read a bit of this thread and am a bit perplexed. Have the new owners allowed a load of sordid material to come out or just given free rain to the UK team to do what they want with the forum ?

Gadget show babes? Well not surprised seeing as all the ocukers are MAX power kind of people... that's the next logical step.

Quite insulting to all the female members of the forum I would have thought, Looks liek the thread went caveman towards the end with all the Alpha "me like boobs stuff." really? lol wow.

About it i guess??? Hasn't PC hardware always been about sad computer geeks and unobtainable plastic looking women prancing about in French knickers ?

If I wanted to look at women I will either try it on with my girlfriend or failing that look at other, more specialised sites to fulfil my needs. Funnily enough, I don't think a computer hardware forum is the place for it.

What about the banner at the top of the screen?
