Can't access to The Back Page message board Options

[fordtotti]

It was a good site with a great archive which will be miised by many if the site is lost for good.

I was unaware that there were posts that were needing toned down; I never saw anything that was that bad. What was being posted that needed toned down?

If it is to get revived it may be better on the IP Board Forum rather than invasionboard.

[Soccer Undies]

I'm gutted. That place meant a lot to me and I'm going to really miss it.

Thanks to Pico for creating it, and thanks to everyone else who made it a great place to post. Most of the people who used that site were really nice and I made some really good friends there.

It's a shame that it's not going to be revived in the form of a new site. I would but I don't know how to set up a website let alone a forum.

[kimmi]

I signed up here just to add that I will miss the Back Page a lot, I was a fairly new member compared to most of you and didn't post all that often but I checked it daily, it had a great community and there was always something new to admire.

I understand why the moderators don't want to revive it, but if anyone wants to start a new board, perhaps it would be best to buy a domain and host it. (sort of like this one here). I'm not good at setting these things up but I would gladly chip in to help pay for it.

I don't want to sound rude, but does it occur to any of you that most of us don't care if you can't get on an entirely different website.


Write them. Complain to them. Let us live in peace.

Very sad and unexpected news.
The Back Page was a very good "home" to me for several years. I'd like to pay tribute to Pico, JL4M and all the contributors over the years, especially EvaPalace, for making it such a warm and friendly place to visit online.
Sadly its been a while since I've made regular visits, but I'll always treasure the happy times there. Wishing them all the very best in the future and thanking them for all the fun!
Cheers Pico!

This is terrible...where am I gonna see the hot Nando and Podolski pics now

[Mange81]

I was very irregular poster there but i visited occasinally. It was good a good place.

But you know , this is a forum with a sub forum named "view"

And seeing as several of the footballers who was posted on the backpage easily can and often are featuring here.

I don´t think a regulary updated fernando Torres / Gareth Bale/ Andy Carroll etc thread here would have trouble staying in the view forum

You are sounding rude...very rude.

I loved the backpage and tried to contribute as much as I could. Footy players are my thing so it was a great resource for hot totty. Thanks to everyone at the backpage for all their hard work. Gonna miss it so much

errr... here?



Nobody yet seems to have answered the question.
What exactly was being posted there that broke Invision's terms of service?

[ic1male]

I feel I've missed out now. I've never even heard of The Back Page before.

I think it was just one or two members being a bit too graphic as to what sexual stuff they'd do with certain footballers.

Considering I don't think you needed to be a certain age to view the site.

I tried to avoid all that though and just focused on the pictures.

yeah one poster inparticular was always pushing the boundaries and was told repeatedly to stop it but it wasn'y anything i haven't seen said on here before.

[Ollie2UK]

Basically, Invision's terms of service are very strict on graphic sexual content. What was being said would be considered par for the course on FMF, but it was made clear (on many occasions) by pico that it was endangering the future of the site.

Sadly, there were certain individuals who felt their "freedom of expression" was more important than the board's survival, hence its demise.

[CherryBoomBoom]

Blimey, if we weren't allowed to post stomach churning filth on here the Wayne Rooney thread alone would have had FMF shut down yonks ago.

[craig08]

So will a football thread get opened on here? I'm sure thes enough people who would view it, comment and add updated pics ?

[ladsnet]

Define 'a football thread'

For pics? Probably not.
The basis of VIEW is that we have seperate threads for individual males (footballers).
We're not going to have one thread for 'fit footballers'. For a forum with our traffic and posting levels that would just be bonkers.

I hadn't visited TBP for quite a while, but from what I remember it was lots of individual threads dedicated to pics of individual footballers.. like a thread with Torres pics and a thread with Lampard pics etc etc.

We already have that.

It's called VIEW.

[underpants]

Such a great shame The BackPage site was closed down.

I'd like to add my thanks to Pico, Soccer Undies, EvaPalace, RoyalBlue and many other posters for giving me so much entertainment over the years

'underpants'.

[tcbold1]

I've been struggling with the loss of such a great website and archive of all the best pictures. Not wanting to sound like a parrot as most have before hand, but I do feel sorry for Pico and everyone else for all that hard work over the years (and year I've been as a member) that has gone down the drain. They made the Back Page into such a friendly and welcoming place (a reason behind my logging in everyday for the latest updates), and made a few friends as well. It's such a shame that it won't resurface every again.
I can see there are quite a few from the board on here, and hopefully most of you will remember me 'tcbold1'. btw, does anyone know what happen to 'timm' (all things danish)??
We should resurrect the board on here?

I doubt invision have time to monitor all forums under their service. The Back Page must have been reported and then reviewed. Sucks that it got shut down without any warning. Quite a few celebs are black listed on here, so it seems more likely that it was an image that lead to the closure and not the smutty comments from a few over horny members. I guess the crack down on what can and can't be posted is just gonna increase, as the internet is alot more regulated that it used to be.
