Thanks, I've run virus checks and looked for trojans both on my systems, the host, and the forum servers images. None! I've also had my eye checked. The doctor said I was old, I told him I wanted a second opinion. He said, "OK, you're ugly too!"
Oh, and I've had someone pm me and told me they were doing it. And, I believe them. I check after posting and they are up and working. After awhile or a day later, they are gone.
Could be the dingo curse...

Avenging angel, this is still one of the most innovative posts on this or any other paintball forum in a long time. You should be very proud of coming up with it and we are all proud it is here on ACES (even if no one else has said it yet!) You really have to forgiven snipers, sometime they sit on the hot sun for hours waiting for the right shot. It bakes their brains. They might want to say "thank you." They just aren't physically capable anymore. Ask Trinity.

I'm sorry to see this die. It had great potential but was killed off.

Chicago is right on the money. Avenging Angel is a breath of fresh air in an otherwise testosterone-laden atmosphere.

Time to be the party pooper.
I've seen to many sexist threads go south. Are we thinking in the best interest of this forum or are we just entertaining a thought?? Someone could interpret this thread in the wrong manner and spread the word that the ACES is...fill in sexist accusation...
Basically what I'm saying is, should we be posting (for all intense and purposes) eye candy??? There is nothing that benefits paintball with most of these pictures. Yes I want this sport to be genderless, but is this what this thread is about???

You're being blunt so let me respond in kind. If you chase away Avenging Angel and Chicago you won't have to worry about the forum being labelled "sexist." It won't have any label at all because it will be nonexistent.
I'm really not into politically correct moderation. If there is a thread I don't want to read - I don't read it. This forum is on the edge of dying and complaining about the people who keep it alive because of sexist concerns is simply beyond me.

Wow, I'm shocked. I think of natural environments and different species; I think of different societies; I think of our natures and our bodies. I could produce a diatribe on any of those subjects related to "sexist concerns and phobias." But, I won't.
If you don't like looking at girls playing paintball, don't. We aren't saying you should. The title was pretty clear, "Girls in Paintball." If you don't like looking at guys playing paintball, don't. No one is forcing you to do anything. This is a forum on the internet. There are far worse things to be found on the internet. I, for example, don't seek out "hate groups." I'm sure they are out there; but, I don't look for them. And if I found one, with the title "We hate girls in paintball" I wouldn't continue to read it. (Actually, I might but that's getting off topic.)
I can't speak for avenging angel but, I can say I've been around for a long time and I have seen "sexist" stuff. That is not "sexist." Maybe a little "feminist;" but, certainly not sexist. But, don't worry, the few here have left a bad enough impression that neither I or AA will probably be posting anymore "girls in paintball" so your parochial views on how this forum should remain wholesome and pristine are safe. Oh, while you got the dictionary out, look up "gynophobia."
In closing, I myself would worry about just the opposite occurring as far as outsider impressions when browsing this forum; that is, that this site is "sexist" by its actions and obsession about not seeing females however they are dressed or whatever they are doing! This is not flaming, I'm addressing this post to all the silent members on this site with some simple observations of my own. Last time I looked, this was the ACES forum. Oh you didn't put that dictionary away. Look up the word "forum" if you all have a problem with that, start your own "private" club if you want to be "women haters;" but a public forum is just that, a public forum.

Everything on this forum does not have to be about paintball, we specifically have sections for non paintball stuff. Also i do not limit or forbid anything without damn good reason, This thread stays open. there is nothing wrong with it. If your really bothered about sexist views (i agree with Chicago on this, i do not consider this thread in any way to be sexist) then by all means start a "men in paintball" to balance it.

Well, that struck a nerve. I wasn't looking for a fight but its not looking pretty as of right now. I was honestly trying to avoid a future misunderstanding between members as to what this thread was about. I've seen many threads where females were portrayed in such a manner and it caused a huge stink that resulted in many bans and a bad name for the forum. Notice how I asked what the intent of this thread was and if it was wise to continue it?? I'm not trying to be an @$$ nor a party pooper ( that was a sarcastic jab, I was not being a turd head).
In all honesty I was trying to keep us out of the petty arguments and avoid the situations that involve sexism accusations thrown by upset forum members.
I really don't want to turn this into a pissing match, but since I apparently started it I guess I should try to stop it.

You'll get no more complaints from me. And, it wasn't directed at you. My real point is exactly what you said and that you were hoping to avoid. So, enough said. Don't worry about me. If I were still upset about this I'd reach down your throat and pull out your still beating heart and show it to you.
And, as our buddy and sole moderator says, "it's not a sexist thread." And, let's be clear, I'm paraphrasing him here. I always get in trouble when I put words in his muzzle!

So, have we solved the "girls in paintball" dilemma? Here's how I felt during some of the debates here and elsewhere on this great forum:  |

I like that; but, I'm not posting here any more. Oh, I just did! Chicago you are a trickster!

Sorry, I thought I should add this for all the new players that have joined us and even for pricklez cause he may have been gone during the time these psts were active.
And, I guess I'm revealing something more about AA too. Not only is she the Sexiest baller I know; she has a sexy accent as well. See for yourselves:
Hey choirboy what did you think?

OMG I love this thread. Don't know why more people didn't contribute and enjoy it. I can't believe I saw someone here post that girls don't belong in paintball. I'm glad to see more every year. Here's my contribution. To bad you ran into such problems here:  I heard she gives great rail! Sorry, you'd have to be part Irish or a choirboy to understand that one! |

You're right AA, sorry. "Put a helmet on that soldier!" The fins have no clue!

Damn choirboy, you are making this fun again; but, I don't get the helmet thing either. Let me say this:  So here goes:  Let's see how the censors handle that...if it survives I may just post a couple more "Girls in Paintball." |

yes, but I got a pm telling me I'm too close to crossing an imaginary line again; so, I'll just lurk again. Posting good, quality pix on this forum is too much guess work and a lot of changing grey rules.
Any post or pix that does NOT include a prick is questioned. This is the real sexism I see here. Their dads should have taught them a woman's body is a beautiful and senuous thing; nothing to be snickered at or hidden away!
Is this somekind of Tailban backed web site. Most third world countries are not this sensitive!

What, you got a pm? Please keep posting, please. What's the worst that could happen. You were one of the ones that encouraged me to come back and not to give up!
It was so nice to have you back again. We all missed you. Trinity was just saying to me last night, (I visit him in that home up in canada; he's the one really in there - but, I don't normally write about that cause his old fat nurse says he gets so upset and won't gum his pudding any more.) Well, he said after reading you posts in the new game thread, "AvengingAngel is so smart...beautiful too. Brains and Beauty is a dangerous combination." Then he flashed back to the Nam and we lost him again...but, he needs is sleep.
Point is AA you've got people depending on your posts. Did you notice that even the guest count has risen again. Please post.
