Jaga,
It seems that Proboards has become a puritinical, orthodox, calvinistic institution, which has problems with the human atonomy and the beauty of women. I don't know who you refer to in the case of this almost naked woman? I understand your position. This message is no criticism of your stance and position as administrator of this Forum. You have to maintain the rules and keep this Forum going. This is a remark about Pro-boards.
Cheers, Pieter

Guys, be careful with the pictures of nudity. I had to eliminate this almost naked woman.... Jaga I am not sure of the presented material that was the cause to be removed in respect to an almost naked women. Would this be the very thin model photos? I am not sure, is the reason of asking. Personally, I do not mind for what ever is required in respect to presented material, simply to know what is acceptable or not acceptable. With knownledge of the material deemed unacceptable, provides to my self a rule of acceptability in presented material. Commensurate with most all organizations, there must be a mechanisium of protection designed into the working aparatise as a model of function. And this is a designed manner of governing what is correct and what is not acceptable in behaviour of those constituits that make up, in this case, forum members. It is a private system with public access, in this manner, those not deemed as acceptable members, may be with out fault to the business {Proboard}, may at the pleasure of owners and managers alike, to expel those deemed not adhering to this principles as described with out fear of legal judgement. With Greatist Respect to All Karl

On another note for all Viking and Germanic Gods - - - - - -
In Norse mythology, Ragnarök (Old Norse "final destiny of the gods") is a series of future events, including a great battle foretold to ultimately result in the death of a number of major figures (including the gods Odin, Thor, Týr, Freyr, Heimdallr, and Loki), the occurrence of various natural disasters, and the subsequent submersion of the world in water. Afterward, the world will resurface anew and fertile, the surviving and reborn gods will meet, and the world will be repopulated by two human survivors. Ragnarök is an important event in the Norse canon, and has been the subject of scholarly discourse and theory.
The event is attested primarily in the Poetic Edda, compiled in the 13th century from earlier traditional sources, and the Prose Edda, written in the 13th century by Snorri Sturluson. In the Prose Edda, and a single poem in the Poetic Edda, the event is referred to as Ragnarökr or Ragnarökkr (Old Norse "Doom of the Gods"), a usage popularized by 19th century composer Richard Wagner with the title of the last of his Der Ring des Nibelungen operas, Götterdämmerung.
Ancient Legend states that the Norse God, Heimdallr, would blow the mythical Gjallerhorn to summon the sons of Odin for the final battle. They would lose that battle and 100 days from its beginning, Odin would die, signaling the beginning of Ragnorok (AKA “doom of the gods,” AKA apocalypse. That trumpet was blown in York on November 14, putting the end of the world at February 22, 2014.
What to expect:
“All morality would disappear and fights would break out all over the world, signaling the beginning of the end.
“The wolf Skoll would devour the sun, and his brother Hati would eat the moon, causing stars to vanish from the sky and the Earth to be thrown into eternal darkness.”
The upside: Odin is said to be killed by “creator gods.” Also, “The Earth will sink into the sea, paving the way for a new utopian world with endless supplies.”
As I pointed out in this article, apocalypse means “to discover or reveal.” It seems the ancient Norse prophets had the same idea as the ancient Hebrews. The end of the world as we know it will occur when all our historically violent gods are destroyed and new, more harmonious, sustainable myths are created (by the creator gods).
This could be one reason atheists are doing better with PR and looking more moral to many these days. It seems humanity may be coming out from under the shadow of the old, oppressive forces, and into it's own light. Many will stay on the battlefield until the last archaic god is dead. However, others are busy ushering in the new day.

J.J. Interesting of interest of Snorri Sturluson and: Prose of Edda, it is Icelandic as translated as you have mentioned, Old Norse. For many as your self, do recogonize the simularity to the Christian Bible stories of this event, change out the names and place, but the event is the same. The following url in PDF form of prose of Edda is rather long, but very informative in content if with much patience. www.heathengods.com/library/prose_edda/YoungProseEdda.pdfI remember some as a child and was very frightened at the time, for when you as a child are trying to grow up, the end of the world is very unseattling...
