mmmmh... I know where you are coming from... but it's always kind of gross to generalise when comparing countries... especially considering that our "main hosts" here are from the US...
Of course, the story seems ridiculous, so to all appearances, the police have totally exaggerated. But even in Germany, the police would have to go to the scene and check up what is going on, if there is a complaint including naked young men.
BTW, I think it is really cool that you don't seem to mind talking about other boards (in a friendly way). Other places usually pretend that there are no other sites, at least not ones worthy mentioning.
Other interesting notice: the comparison with the abominable Gestapo. Is this word (and its meaning) kind of common knowledge in the US?
Actually, we are hosted in Switzerland and the truth be told, we are more International in scope then American by light years with membership and as you call it, 'hosts'
And Gestapo? I know what the meaning of that word is of course but to some kids, its a loose term meaning police. You mentioned that in Germany, the police would go to the call. That makes sense. But I am thinking that someone seeing some bois skinnydipping at night would go, 'oh well' and thats about it.
As far as mentioning other forums, sure we do, if we respect them and we respect a few. Some, we do not, as far as leadership goes. Many we do though, and the fine members of all forums we respect.
