But the insidious problem is that when some of these people find out about our forum due to searchable terms that haven't been X'ed out, it makes it more difficult to locate and purchase said calendars in the future (which I purchase out of pocket and post in the thread). It may mean that pictures in future years will no longer be uploaded on the web, or that future calendars will be totally canceled. Trust me, it's an issue.
More in general, it's a good idea to X out any search terms (names, titles, URLs) if you're posting anything that you think the creator of the material would be unhappy about it appearing on a porn forum. This goes not just for charity calendars, but I've done it for certain videos as well, in particular videos where the nudity is for "artistic" purposes. Or sometimes I do it because I just don't think it would be a good idea for the creators to show up here (e.g. I've done this with several sexy comedy videos).
