With the name change , that is.

nudspinespittle | 10 Sep 2014 2:44 p.m. PST |
Much better! Mind you, I didn't vote and could care less. But I think the new name more clearly states what to anticipate. |
blooddave | 10 Sep 2014 2:52 p.m. PST |
And, slowly, all charm and character drain out of the world. |
Doug MSC | 10 Sep 2014 2:57 p.m. PST |
And quickly clarity, common sense, dignity and good character arise from the Gentlemen of TMC. |
Ambush Alley Games | 10 Sep 2014 3:07 p.m. PST |
I'm terribly offended by the word "figures." Go figure! ;) Shawn. |
Buckeye AKA Darryl | 10 Sep 2014 3:13 p.m. PST |
Actually, no. We live in a world too concerned with trivialities and argued about a board name that was simply there for fun. |
20thmaine | 10 Sep 2014 3:19 p.m. PST |
Well, better than it was but it's something of a mouthful ("as the actre…..") |
Doug MSC | 10 Sep 2014 3:22 p.m. PST |
Actually it seems like more than a board name was being discussed here. |
Doug MSC | 10 Sep 2014 3:22 p.m. PST |
Actually it seems like more than a board name was being discussed here, from all different directions. |
Privateer4hire | 10 Sep 2014 3:24 p.m. PST |
I am. Fits you better than a three letter acronym. |
79thPA | 10 Sep 2014 4:02 p.m. PST |
Where does one discuss clothed figures? |

So how does the acronym NSFW map out to nude and semi-nude figures? |
Zagloba | 10 Sep 2014 5:19 p.m. PST |
NSFW means Not Safe For Work. Unless you work at certain miniature companies, I suppose. Rich |

A wargaming site … where several members get offended by the word boobies… not quite sure how being offended with a bit of nudity but relish talking about war (and all that goes with it) … just a head slap for me … Allen57 got it right .. the PC crew reigns supreme Seems TMP just became a little less lighthearted with the recent change |
skippy0001 | 10 Sep 2014 6:29 p.m. PST |
If it was PC it wouldn't be here. It's great, I just don't want to hear about it anymore..at least until my face stops twitching. |
peterx | 10 Sep 2014 7:07 p.m. PST |
I liked the "Bits and Bobs" name. |
peterx | 10 Sep 2014 7:10 p.m. PST |
Also, "Naughty Bits" has a certain ring, but alas… |
tkdguy | 10 Sep 2014 8:04 p.m. PST |
Actually, no. We live in a world too concerned with trivialities and argued about a board name that was simply there for fun. Agreed 100%. I liked the "Bits and Bobs" name. Me too. |
Lee Brilleaux | 10 Sep 2014 9:02 p.m. PST |
Tell you what. If those who insist on whining about 'PC' will quieten down, maybe one of the older fellows will let them have some old copies of Playboy – a little sticky, but still perfectly useable. |
doug redshirt | 10 Sep 2014 9:32 p.m. PST |
So what board name do we change next, since we are on a roll. Since most members here are from the US or Great Britain, how about changing the Napoleonic board to the 2nd American War of Independence? Who cares about the rest of Europe anyway. The Mexican-American War to the War of American Expansion? The American Indian Wars to the Great American Genocide. WWII to the Great American Crusade to Save the World from Tyrants unless you are on our side. WWI to America gets tricked by Great Britain propagandist into joining a fun cause. Cold War to America Saves the world from the Soviets. Korean War to Those silly Soviets will never walk out on a vote of the Security Council again. Anyother great ideas? |
sneakgun | 10 Sep 2014 10:21 p.m. PST |
who cares…really….we're on the verge of World War III and we're worried about…nonsense… |
Pete Melvin | 11 Sep 2014 1:58 a.m. PST |
Well its gone from being childish and slightly embarassing to just ridiculous so…yes? |
plutarch 64 | 11 Sep 2014 2:22 a.m. PST |
I think the title could have done with being a bit longer, and I don't understand the reference to New South ing Wales. |

"Tell you what. If those who insist on whining about 'PC' will quieten down, maybe one of the older fellows will let them have some old copies of Playboy – a little sticky, but still perfectly useable." I always thought you had a sense of humour, Howard, but obviously you have lost that. Allen57 and pmwalt seem to have formulated things clearly. And doug redshirt made me smile, so I expect him to be DH'ed soon. I wonder how many TMP-ers will vote with their feet… |
Only Warlock | 11 Sep 2014 4:10 a.m. PST |
I wonder what the next "holy crusade" will be? |
MarescialloDiCampo | 11 Sep 2014 5:42 a.m. PST |
lets just look at ISIL's control of the media… |
Sysiphus | 11 Sep 2014 5:45 a.m. PST |
I wonder what the next "holy crusade" will be? An obvious return to Syria, where they already refer to us as "Crusaders" ! |
Winston Smith | 11 Sep 2014 6:43 a.m. PST |
You want to know something? I am GLAD that those upset about PC are upset. I really am. There was a vote. A verrrry long drawn out in many phases series of votes. A silly name that was never meant to be taken seriously was taken down and a new name that I did not vote for was substituted. You lost. Get over it. The content remains the same. |
Winston Smith | 11 Sep 2014 6:45 a.m. PST |
Doug, make Poll Suggestions. Run them up a flagpole and see who salutes. BTW Porthos, what has Doug said that would earn him the DH? As for "voting with their feet" do you honestly think people will leave TMP because this board is no longer called "Needs More Boobies"? Are you going to lead the stampede? (And I am NOT asking you to leave. That would be against the rules. ) |
John the Greater | 11 Sep 2014 8:52 a.m. PST |
I'm happy YouTube link Though I have to admit, it was a lot of sturm and drang over naked women who are ONLY ONE INCH TALL. |
tigrifsgt | 11 Sep 2014 8:58 a.m. PST |
And some people thought this all would be over. |
The Virtual Armchair General | 11 Sep 2014 9:24 a.m. PST |
I approve heartily--though "Figure & Anatomy Studies" didn't still hint that something naughty was going on. And aside from possibly renaming or creating more specifically titled boards for greater clarity, yes, let's move on. TVAG |

Porthos | 11 Sep 2014 11:16 a.m. PST |
"BTW Porthos, what has Doug said that would earn him the DH?" Since this is a mainly American site (which explains the puritans – Americans are much more puritan than Europeans.This is just stating a fact, not meant as criticism)I expected the remarks of Doug to be received as insults and therefore DH-worthy. Of course I do not think his remarks DH-worthy, but I have the feeling that humour is far less here now than used to be. "As for "voting with their feet" do you honestly think people will leave TMP because this board is no longer called "Needs More Boobies"?" Of course not. They would "vote with their feet" because of the nonsensical items that grow in number, instead of the interesting and useful posts that (fortunately) still are here. "Are you going to lead the stampede? (And I am NOT asking you to leave. That would be against the rules. grin)." You wish… One of my problems with discussions with you is that I cannot see whether or not you are serious. It is still beyond me that anyone could allow a vote for "removing (any) board". But please let's not start this thing AGAIN ! On another thread I already suggested things like this moved to the Blue Fez and keep the normal (= hobby-related) things here. |
20thmaine | 11 Sep 2014 11:54 a.m. PST |
Would anyone really leave because they can't snigger at "naughty" boobies? |
Lee Brilleaux | 11 Sep 2014 1:53 p.m. PST |
|
tkdguy | 11 Sep 2014 2:18 p.m. PST |
Also, would anyone have left if the "Needs More Boobies" name hadn't changed? |
John the OFM | 11 Sep 2014 2:55 p.m. PST |
Alizardincrimson was so upset about it, it contributed to her exit. I believe thee were "other" contributing factors , though NMB really had her going. |
Mako11 | 11 Sep 2014 2:57 p.m. PST |
No, not really. The Ultra-PC police strike another blow……. |
capncarp | 11 Sep 2014 5:23 p.m. PST |
"Is everybody happy now?" Nah, this place is missing somthing. Something hard to describe. Needs more…needs more… |

Martin Rapier | 12 Sep 2014 3:10 a.m. PST |
Yes, much happier now. We do live in the twentyfirst century after all. |
Muerto | 12 Sep 2014 3:53 a.m. PST |
3, 2, 1 until someone is inconsolably offended and the whole board must go. |
Freak from Vienna | 12 Sep 2014 4:07 a.m. PST |
I'm offended. Why didn't we call it Needs More Schlongs in the name of equality? |
tkdguy | 12 Sep 2014 1:49 p.m. PST |
Who said "needs More Boobies" only applied to female figures? How about a guy with a serious case of man-boobs? Then again, let's not go there! |

Martin, What does "living in the twenty-first century" have to do with changing the name of a miniature gaming board that relatively few women know about? Are you somehow implying that 'boobies' don't exist in the 21st century or are you suggesting that we are all so much more civilized that we don't 'degrade' [whatever that means] women by focusing on a part of their voluptuousness and wonderfully curvy anatomy? Furthermore, I'm sure that by changing the name of this board, you have altered the 'cavemen' and 'male chauvinist pigs' among us. "Praise the Lord, I've seen the error of my ways! A woman's body is not to be admired but reviled and kept under wraps at all times!," they must be shouting to the heavens. Frankly, this discussion was ridiculous in the extreme, as I've stated many times. I, for one, am not happy at all with the change but view it as the lesser of two evils. If it makes the pedantically puritanical among TMPers happy, then so be it but I don't think it's changed any attitudes worth a fig! Oh, and where are all the female gamers that were supposed to flock to the hobby because of our new found enlightenment? I'm sure there will be tens of thousands of them at the next Historicon. |

What does "living in the twenty-first century" have to do with changing the name of a miniature gaming board Yes Swampkinkg, I had been wondering about that too when reading the original post. But actually only for 2 miliseconds or so and then I realized that the whole discussion was indeed to stupid/pathetic for words. And I totally fail to understand the benefit of that NSFW addition, I mean how hypocritical can one be? Now I am eagerly awaiting for the PC police and puritans to get rid of this board. And I definitely will support them with that…. 😇, because in hindsight I think we should not have a board like this. Why? Well I think the posts in this board should roam freely through the whole TMP and should not be confined to only one board and treated as something dirty and obsene 😜. |
