Well we have a winner! With 17 votes - Suchy's "My fave" effort:

Image
It captures the 'summer' theme perfectly, he (/they) clearly put some effort into it and well, it looks rather better than Si's arse.

"Well tried" to Si13 & Gareth-March109 - joint second place with 8 votes each :cool:

Thanks to all who entered & voted - got to be worth doing this again some time!

:roll:

slightly embarrasing at work i must admit.

its the same thing as when PPC used to have the FIT girls in the 'this month in the bath we have thought about building a......' and a guy complained.

i was gutted that the FIT girls were taken out but the guy who complained had a point. its a bit chav max power.

this seems the same as that.

Agree and disagree, the banner probably isn't suitable for everyones place of work. But is is discreet and hardly pornographic, I understand there is a lack of profesionalism to be caught looking at such a picture on a work PC on a website you frequent requarly. But again there is possibly an arguement that on work time you shouldn't be on the zone.

I used to work for a firm who didn't give two hoots what you did as long as your work got done and youwern't doing anything illegal, many of my collegues ran their own ebay businesses during office hours.

But as for the topics/threads and content (in terms of Suchys summer pics, babes and beemers, POTM thread ect ect), there is nothing max power ish about it and nothing wrong with it.

Unlike a magazine this site relies on user submitted content so the content is representative of users tastes and wants on a whole, unlike a magazine where the articles are dictated by the editor not necessarily in touch with the readership.

Those who don't want to see scantily clad ladies don't have to open the thread (again, maybe a warning in topic title would be appropriate), in a magazine you can also gripe that your cost for the magazine goes towards content you don't want or like. We pay no such subscription service for the zone.

:squint: who is lookign over my shoulder?

i can use the internet if work is done and its all about restrictions of what can be used. i work for a finance company and they are very strict with blocking site that should not be viewed at work, i dont get to view 90% of pictures at work (but there are ways if your cheeky enough :D )

thats the thing, i know i can look in those threads when my girlfriends not looking and when im not at work but i turned the zone on at home and my girlfriend piped up and said 'what the hell is that' i had to tell her im not looking at those types of sites, its just the zone. her response was "classy".

ah she hates the zone anyway so i guess it was just another way to dig at the zone :(

i like looking at girls dont worry, even if i sound very gay whilst i write this my concern is that this is a family site and that is the main banner which is viewed on every page. Congratulations for winning i thought it was a funny thread but i did not vote for any of the half naked birds on bonnets etc.

its does have a summer vibe about it, i just wish i was not embarrassed to open the zone web page :o:

ps im not gay but you must have expected some discussion about half naked girls on the banner.

im not against it just dubious. i will join the next POTM thread i think.

1st post: Gay.
2nd post: Too keen to be straight?
3rd post: Turned.

Chris, you've converted him! :lol:


On a slightly more serious note, point taken Ric. It wasn't my intention to stick it up on the banner (mainly because I didn't want to constrain entries to those which would look good in that format), it just worked out like that... Perhaps next time we'll stick to a spot on the front page. :thumb:

:pff:

back to being straight. got over my shock and stated looking at the boobs more. I think im going to get my girl (this post is just proving i have a girlfriend and am straight) to bring me a cuppa tea whilst im under the e30. that would have been a winner for me. :D

dont do that its good looking at boobs and its a good banner. i was being to serious about it i think. if it was boobs out then it would have been a different story :nono: ,

this site gets me through my days at work and that was the panic! if i lost access to the zone because of boobs :( i would have to concentrate on work or change jobs and find a job that actually had career prospects.

use of the word boob in 1 post = 5
