Isn't all of the above easily and quickly solved by making a new thread 'Dark humor and worse' in the basement section of the DonationCoder forum? It would be out of sight (and mind) for members who don't go there and/or filter threads in this forum. And others with a peculiar sense of humor can still make their jokes.
Me personally, I would appreciate such a thread for what it is. And would make me visit that part of the forum more often. Now I wouldn't have mixed dark humor with silly humor in the same way as IainB did, or go on as long he did. But now the tone in this thread seems to go to the other extreme: getting rid of it completely. And that isn't right either.
Separate threads appear to me the quickest/easiest way to let both exist.
If you must know:

What is family friendly? The Disney way, shielding loved ones from everything bad life throws at your family? Or (mentally) prepare those loved ones for the parts in life that suck absolutely?
In my case, I would definitely have liked more preparation, because ;ife already has thrown a lot of crap my way. At age 13 all my grand parents had passed away and my parents lost our house, at age 25 my mother passed away, 3 weeks later my father had a new girlfriend, 10 years later my father also passed away. One year later, divorce. And a few moths back, on the last month I needed to pay for piece land I bought 10 years ago, someone committed suicide using a tree on my piece of land. With all these experiences under my belt, I happen to think you can be better prepared, if you are able to laugh about jokes regarding misery and death. If you don't have all these experiences or worse, consider yourself blessed...and don't put that much grief towards someone less fortunate, who chose laughter as medicine against their misery.
To get this thread on its way again:
How many (musical) notes are there in salami?
A man enters a construction store and orders 15000 stone bricks.
The clerk asks:
"15000 bricks...are you building a house?"
Customer:
"No...a barbecue"
"You don't need so many bricks for a barbecue..."
"I live on the 12th floor..."
Mom against little Johnny:
"What?!? Did you eat caterpillars today?
Little Johnny:
"yeah, tomorrow I want butterflies in my belly..."
A shark father and his son look from a distance some swimmers in the ocean.
Father says: "Son, put your fin half out of the water and swim fast to that group of swimmers, go around them, then leave!"
The son does his fathers bidding.
After a while, the father says:
"Son, put up your whole fin out of the water and do the same again!"
Again, the son does his fathers bidding.
A few minutes later, father shark says:
"Ok son, now we both go and eat those swimmers!"
Now the son says:
"But dad, we could have done that already..."
"No son, they taste better after being scared sh.tless..."
