This is the lounge, the non paintball related area. So, before you gynophobs start complaining that some of this has nothing to do with paintball; I agree, it doesn't and the creator of this great forum had the foresight to provide a lounge. So, try to respect the rights of others and the founder and keep you comments to yourself unless you which to wstep out of the closet and get into a frank debate.
These are some of the pix that didn't survive the hackers. Restore to their original forum in no particular order:   Don't ask me what was wrong with these posts! I have no idea. |

Of course there were three pix in the above post.    so gynophobic member, your parochial attitudes and Taliban tactics are not going to stop me! In fact, I'm considering escalating this conflict to a whole new level. |

Well it seems that your agitation does not receive much reaction except from me, and that is only a resigned sigh as I get to observe how far you can go before it gets ugly, you know you can only press so far until **** hits the proverbial fan... seems that another battle-plan is needed to get more people active...

I have an observation. No one complained when Chicago was battling Canadianism, zombisms, dingo dogisms, or gypsisms; but now that he is taking on the biggest threat to our forum, gynophobism, ever one seems to say he's "pushing it til it gets ugly again."
Either his battle with the gynophobs is real; or, like all his other battles, they are mostly in his head. Who cares? May be he did touch a nevre in the latent gynophobic membership here! Doesn't he have the right to say what he feels on this forum and to publish funny little pix that harm no one.
It is not logical, if you don't like chicago's posts, don't look at them or his pix. I think editing or deleting them are childish acts. The people doing this aren't mature enough to call themselves snipers!

Point taken, but even the canada issue was abit close to crossing the line... misunderstand me correctly...I'm all for fun and games.
My personal opinion is that it's all just blown out of proportion, from the begining to the end... :S
As for the hacking, theres some wierd **** going on, since some days all images show, and some days some links are broken, that include avatars, but it seems to stretch back through threads wich is wierd...might be a issue with the server they are hosted on. I have a strong feeling of that dropbox has something to do with it...

If I didn't get "a bit close to crossing the line," how would any one know where the line was.  I'm considering changing my password or may be my forum. I promise you, I will fight back. Not a single person other than you have had the guts to state openly that I'm close to crossing the line. I accept your observation and find the frankness refreshing. But the ridiculous cowards that just complain to wolfen and snipe behind my back are the ones that really need a good talking to. Why do they have any more rights than the rest of us. I don't go around deleting their posts and pictures. May be I should! |

Password may be a good idea. But, leaving the forum means they won. Don't let them win Chicago!

Generally these things are managed with pms on forums to avoid an open conflict, I'm surprised if wolfen hasn't pm'd you.
Don't think the line has moved, and I figure you a smart guy who's playing, and pushing it.
And as I'm aware this is the line.
You are responsible for the things you post on this forum.
Do not post anything offensive.
Flaming is not aloud.
Inappropriate pictures and videos are not aloud.
Breaking of any of these rules could result in suspension or banning of your account.
As I'm aware the majorghost post use these as needed where mere suggestions, so "the line" is a bit flowing. But i figure that you know what i mean.

PMs were sent before this even started... (or rather this started because of PMs). As for the rules, while good guidelines they are a bit more relaxed here as i don't see any problem with people joking around until it actually starts bothering other members. (also ps. it's Spelled ALLOWED*  ) |

"Inappropriate pictures and videos are not aloud [sp.]." The blurry line is even blurrier. Define "inappropriate." What one person thinks? If that's true, let me also complain about the "Devil's Legion" that is not at all Christian. What about our rights, Wolfen? Them and their offending pictures should be removed immediately!

Lets see what happens to this pix. Think it is very appropriate! (i.e. not inappropriate):  |

Post by Wolfen on Sept 17, 2012 12:11:52 GMT -5
i've VERY clearly told both of you what is not allowed. NO pictures of lightly dressed people (and since your so worried about gynophobes that means men and women, just to make you happy. See i do hear your concerns as well)
As for devils legion... Who exactly Came up with the devil, if not the Christians?

So there was no underworld, no Hades before christianity? That's right, there is no such thing as religious indifference here! No respect for someone else's beliefs.
But, truly, thanks for the clarification on "NO pictures of lightly dressed people (men and women)."
Would you be in the mood for some Wolfen humor now? Maybe not, that might cross the line or not be taken in the spirit it was intended! Forget it.

I think I got it now. This is OK because it's appropriate and not "lightly" dressed:  A waitress in a uniform. What could be more appropriate. A lady or two working out: Appropriately dressed:   This is not. She is wearing tight clothes and even has her eyes covered but not her face:  By golly I think I've got it! Thanks for your patience in all this. |

 Just a quick question. Does anyone know why this picture was "purged?" |

Yes, twice in two different sections of the forum over the last week or two. One was explaining that this was going to be a new sport added to the next Winter Olympics (people assume Canadians will have definite advantage). And two in a warning, saying "don't try this unless you are really really fast." Are you guys just so suddenly "delete" crazy that you delete first and ask questions later."
I thought it was a rather cool pix. Sorry, my mistake; but, that's why I asked about it.
