Hmmm. I just wanted to throw in my 2cents on the whole dgeek site, even if I may be unpopular. I hardly ever visit forum sites. I don't like them much in general since I just think they are a waste of my time.
However, I've been hearing a lot of negative stuff about the dgeek forums, but have any of you read the boards? I just flipped through a lot of the manips and photos threads and in general fans are being very polite and just having fun. The only naked (?) shots come from the movie "Century Hotel" and the person/s who posted it has been told off rather soundly by people, but mostly just because they are afraid of children seeing images from an R-rated movie. I'm sure DH would expect screencaps from his movies. *shrugs* He also hasn't been specific about ratings or telling people it's a family site. Hopefully he'll be more specific later.
From the way people were going on, I honestly thought there must be manips of DH's head stuck on porn-star bodies. Or did I not look closely enough?
I have yet to catch up on the FAQ forum, but when I looked earlier most of the questions amused me and were fairly clever. If a few people ask things which are embarrassing, I would tend to give David credit for enough intelligence to realise that there are a few odd fans out there, but most are sweet.
From what I can see, anything that is posted and considered by other fans to be even slightly inappropriate is being liberally berated on the site, so I'd say that people should probably chill a little.
In conclusion, I may still play.
I *heart* David Hewlett. He just posted THIS! Awww! A man who is unafraid of his adoring fans. :)
