(No... it's not *THAT* kind of "Adult" site. Think "Problem Child", but you know... older...) :)

I welcome ALL of you site owners to submit your links to our new "Partnership/Reciprocal Links" section. In the spirit of working together and community building, we stand a better shot of supporting each other, you know?


Submit your URL here (http://www.problemadults.com/links/browselinks.php?c=15).
Have a link to the Problem Adult Forums (http://www.problemadults.com/forum.php) on your site somewhere.
No membership/joining our site necessary
With very few exceptions will we turn down anyone (illegal activity, bigger jerk than I am, etc...)


I couldn't make it any simpler if I tried. :p

Your request to URL "http://www.problemadults.com/" has been blocked by the Webwasher URL filter database. The URL is listed in categories (Swimwear, Lingerie, and Nudity).They block sites over swimwear and lingerie??!!!?? :p

Could this blockage be because of the previous owners of the domain? (If there is any nudity, we'd certainly keep it out of public view.)

Well I happen to know from my referrers that libraries, the military and government offices access the site on a regular basis, so how many people use Webwasher? It's plainly stated in our TOS and guidelines that the site is for the 18 and older crowd... so if wild and crazy adults isn't your thing, lets NOT exchange links.

And I'll do something about my lingerie problem in the meantime. :o

Perhaps it is from the previous owner. You can always contact webwasher and ask to be reclassified.

ANY hint of nudity at all, and you get blocked.

I didn't knew of webwasher, but most filters have a problem with sites with the keyword "adult" in the url. As stated you can always ask to be reclassified but considering the nature of your site I think you will have a huge uphill battle to get unfiltered.

I didn't knew of webwasher, but most filters have a problem with sites with the keyword "adult" in the url.Hence my earlier caveat of "No we're not *THAT* kind of 'Adult' site". I have to explain that a lot. But the blurry lines are deliberate. :D

Bad enough my old web design domain was snatched up by an adult site (and THAT proved embarrassing when people clicked on old links on my site!) :o
As stated you can always ask to be reclassified but considering the nature of your site I think you will have a huge uphill battle to get unfiltered.Yeah. Tell you the truth, I'm not all that concerned with Webwasher. I appreciate the heads up from Hoser, but people using that software are doing it to either:
A) Keep their employees from goofing off at work.
B) Keep children from sites they shouldn't be on.

Both cases, I'm cool with that. We're all/mostly parents there & we don't want kids on our site, and I am constantly admonishing members not to visit us on company time.

There's nothing illegal on our site, but our niche is we are always bordering on the risque with fantasy, pushing to be more and more outrageous. So no battle from me to get it reclassified. They're doing us a favor.

Tell you the truth I'm dissapointed that's ALL we're blacklisted for. :D

That qualifies as a quote of the year nominee :)

For sure webwasher is mostly used in a Corp environment, so that shouldn't have a hugh impact on your target audience. GL with the site!
