Activities
Forum
The founders and moderators of Deskthority have traditionally been advocates of free speech and free discussion without censorship. When someone has written something offensive, other users often do not shy away from telling them off before telling a moderator.
This is not a family friendly site, we know that by now. If users have something to say they say it, without sugarcoating.
