You made an idiot out of yourself trying to justify the ways you and **Gfactor** manufactured a tortured warning for me out of little more than nothing, but if you really want to get into it again, open up up a Pit thread and let’s go. **pseudotriton ruber ruber** , even before you arrived in this thread I had said that discussions about SDMB policy should go to ATMB. Discussions about mod actions go there as well. No warning issued for the personal insult against **Ellen Cherry**. **twickster** , MPSIMS moderator ---

Victorious Unity Board? Low-rent [proboards.com](http://proboards.com) address? Poster-sized avatars? Discussion of “history, science, theology, politics, or sci-fi”, like hundreds of other upstart message boards? Not a formula for success. ---

It’s also hotlinked directly from Wiki. **Qin** , why don’t you use [Photobucket](http://photobucket.com/) – it’s free. And shrink it down to avatar size, or have someone else do it for you. (I’d be more than happy to do so – most boards go with 100x100) ---

> [@elmwood](#): > > I’m tempted to join, just so I can display a 1000x1000 avatar. Custom avatars don’t seem to work. But don’t fret; there are three appropriately-gigantic avatars provided for us all to choose from. ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > Don’t do it, it will ruin your life. To be fair, I’m sure it wouldn’t be so bad with a decent and somewhat successful spinoff board. 😉 And good job griefing the kid’s message board, dudes. You all should team up with real internet superheroes like 4chan to form a League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. We’re supposed to be fighting ignorance here and no war is won by defense. Let’s bomb [link removed]these guys with some meatspin or lemonparty next. ---

(I’d be more than happy to do so – most boards go with 100x100) I used to be on the side that was against avs on this board but I’m coming around… however that big fucking Admiral pic is totally turning off from joining your board. Like Guin, I’ll help bring it down for you to 100x100 if you need help. ---

I ran a BBS when I was in high school. The board totally sucked, but it was fun. ---

So, if I wanted to start my own message board dedicated to discussing Poop\* and all it’s hilarity, I could advertise it here? Victorious Unity sounds like a madlib for Harvard grads. Cause we all gotta go sometime. ™ ---

I have to laugh b/c one of the avatars on the above-linked forum is a very close-up shot of part of a Prince Albert. No, I do NOT want to explain how I know that.
