I doubt Greg would outright ban it so I decided to come to the Tapology community itself to humbly ask to stop with this. AV and sig bets are all awesome fun but the **** AV's don't really accomplish anything, you have to look at it, and we have to look at it too. Besides anytime someone sees a gay picture, they don't laugh, some will be quite offended. They also immediately know that that person has lost a sig bet and thus lowers the meaning. A good AV is one that embarrasses the member without making it obvious that he didn't choose it. 

That's my opinion anyway, but whether you agree with this or not, I ask you please, the next time you get to choose someone's AV. Don't be gay bro.

Your and Pandorakry's comments had nothing to do with what I said and don't even make sense.

Secondly, I've posted in this thread maybe 3 times, if it was such a stupid thread and a waste of everyone's time, why does it have 200 responses?

I just love how it started out with 6 ups and 0 downs then the first negative comment about it and then I had 10 downs 5 minutes later.

This is just something you should have talked privately w/ an admin or mod about @messiah. Live and learn... no worries.

Kalibo, 2 other members went to Greg's page before I made the thread about this very issue. 

Greg agreed that he didn't like it but that he couldn't do anything about it, that's why I made the thread. I don't care about the thumbs or people's reactions. I still stand by what I said and a lot more proof that no one cared would have been it dying with no responses. Not staying at the top of the forums for days even through my suspension. 

With that being said I have had no part in keeping this thread alive. I made my points and that was all I intended to do. Tapology is who kept this going for so long.

I don't think it's a problem that the thread was created, actually. It was an interesting discussion.

I think @messiah could have worded the OP better - this is an explosive topic and you need to be careful - but for the most part it was handled pretty well by the people on the site.

Personally, I don't see the problem with Messiah posting this thread. He took exception to an issue and he voiced his opinion.
This is a forum after all, so I think it only fitting to voice your opinion. Others also have the right to express whether or not they agree with this opinion, but saying it's a "waste of time" or "let this thread die" is uncalled for.
The same people telling Messiah to ignore it or get over it can't even follow their own advice and ignore this thread or get over the fact that it exists.
If you have a problem with anything on this site, regardless of it's political correctness, I think it's perfectly acceptable to post your feelings on the subject......as long as it's done in a tasteful and respectful manner.

@geez where I think Kalibo's point definitely applies though is when you have an issue with another member, or someone is harassing you, or you think someone is causing a problem... that kind of stuff should be brought to a moderator or admin.

Look what has happened in this thread.  Was it wrong to post it?  No.  Was it the best idea?  No.  That is my opinion.  @messiah is a good, contributing member to this site.. so I don't want people to judge him on this thread or his high octane posts... I just have the opinion that certain things that will cause drama up the ying should be brought directly to the admins.  This is a forum.. but an MMA forum 1st and foremost.  Make sense?

LOL!  @Greg beat me to it again... "Look what has happened in this thread".   That is exactly why I said that.  Thanks @Greg.

@kalibo and greg I definitely see your guys' points on this.

A mod being one of them?

I'll take that.

Well I'm assuming that your comment on Kalibo's AV was a sarcastic comment in reference to a couple of jackamamie's saying that my AV looked like what it did.

Could have misinterpreted it though.

The way you worded that still doesn't make sense though... however... as far as your old AV... the comments on that were pretty damn stupid.
