Edited for increased accuracy.
Who picked the designs? Who picked the colors? You and your geeky "design team". Who worded the poll in this thread? You. So again, more dislike than like the stupid icons. Are you gonna keep 'em? Yes? or No?

RE: New group icons ...what do you think?
I'm seeing more "for" the icons...
8 Ralph Friedgen votes FOR
18 Yes, I like it votes JDKF FOR
--------------
26 FOR
16 No, I don't like it AGAINST
3 No, JDKF AGAINST
1 kpigout AGAINST
-------------
20 AGAINST
10 I just like ******** NEUTRAL
26-20 in favor of the new icons. Now kpigout, are you seeing different numbers? I'd love a screenshot.
If you freaking have that big of a problem to care that a small icon contains orange, then you should either (a) join the design team (that you made fun of) to get their icon, or (b) step down. It's that easy. But really...thanks for throwing a vote. It was much more in favor of the icons before you influenced the tiggers.

Yes, the same "geeky design team" that keeps the site running free of charge even to little b*tches like you. Whether or not they stay depends on the poll results. The poll will stay up several days just like the previous.
To continue the trend of taking your irrationality and reversing it to the extreme.....
I'm a vegan. I'm deeply offended by your posted photography, paraphernalia, avatar, and signature supporting the merciless, inhumane, and cruel abuse and slaughter of God's creatures. Your assertion in your sig that "If God had wanted vegetarians, He wouldn't have given us the pig and fire..... " makes me offended as a deeply religious Baptist. Should we next justify murder because God gave wood to carve arrows and metal to make guns? Should we justify abortion because God gave us hands and the materials needed to make surgical tools? Should we justify 9/11 because God gave us the tools, mind, and materials to make skyscrapers and planes? Repent kpig, for I fear you will live in eternal damnation, sin, and hell fire. You should read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" immediately. THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU! THE POWER OF CHRIST COMPELS YOU!

Before I influenced it? You are a funny dude. Just for the record, there are many, many more Memphis fans here than any other school, so naturally you are gonna get more votes from Memphis folks.
I was counting the "*****" votes as dislikes, but whatever. Still, not exactly the "slap my back and praise me " results y'all were looking for or hoping for, is it?
I would say if you can't achieve at least a 75% approval, then y'all should dump them and start over. Otherwise, it's just shoving it down our throats and telling us what's good for us.

See, there you go again. b*tches like me? Can't argue without name calling? I can play too. Your a Pu$sy. As for the rest of your post, it just shows your stupidity, but the rest of your geeky little friends will laugh and think it was funny and witty, and it's "your" site, so you can declare yourself the winner.

You just let fire on one your other (seemingly endless) cry posts on the Sports Bar. So don't play that innocent BS with me.
BTW -- weak cop out. But I suppose "woah is me it's all a conspiracy against me" is better than "I should seek therapy for my wicked inferiority complex".

All I did was respond to them throwing the first volley. And trust me, I have no inferiority complex, especially with anything dealing with you.

RE: New group icons ...what do you think?
GTS, THIS kind of crap is why we (Memphis) have insisted on a SEPARATE area of the site like we ORIGINALLY had. As representative of the largest community here at NCAAbbs, I think you should at least do something for our section of this forum. Disable those on the Memphis forums.
Obviously this feature is not a popular one so why not just pull it altogether or let us have a portal again.
Just a thought, of all of you arguing against kpigout, how many had to be PM'd to this thread? lol

JESUS H....

if we don't want that f***ing color on OUR page, that should be OUR choice...and our fans have chosen. (79% say HELL NO!)
it's like teaching a monkey a math trick over here.

Somebody pushing something that irrational tends to get peoples attention.
Guess the Spin Room is a giant PM dragnet dedicated to smearing GW Bush and Ted Kennedy.

why ask a question is you simply plan to IGNORE the results?
WE (Memphis fans) should be able to run OUR SITE (MT.org) as WE see fit.

RE: New group icons ...what do you think?
And I assure, if we split back to multiple boards after we just worked to merge them to:
- Reduce the amount of work that has to be done in upkeep
- Reduce the amount of work that has to be done in upgrades
- Allow for global mods
- Allow for moving posts to any forum from any forum
- Fix the avatar glitch
- Have real global post/thread/user statistics
- Fix the "who is viewing forum" glitch
- Fix the "who is viewing thread" glitch
.... and all over some wicked inferiority complex or some "yes yes kinda yes" poll for kpig to touch himself over ....
That I sure as hell won't work on it.... and the Skunkworks ranks in this department are already really thin from people who refuse to work on stuff related to MT.org anymore because of inane irrationality like this.

Because an icon is orange? And you Tiger fans were talking about being irrational...
"THIS kind of crap"...such a huge deal for a freaking icon to be orange..when the one complaining has orange in their signature and avatar. Give me a break.

He shifted the results his way with his biased poll. I guarantee that 20 people that voted in that poll thought anything about orange...just that if kpigout thought that they were that "ugggggllllyyyy", then they must be. It was biased. Don't come on here and say that it wasn't.

I just said a few posts earlier the poll will be left up for several days just like the last one. Right now the results are modestly in favor of the new icons, and that's with lobbying against them from SCC and kpig.
And when YOU have a clue about how THIS SITE actually OPERATES, and the PRINCIPLES IT WAS FOUNDED ON, perhaps YOU can make a more INFORMED decision. Your rights end where everybody elses begin ... it's not rocket science. I think given how the Memphis community has already alienated about half the Skunkworks team and completely driven off an entire fanbase from the site ... we've been incredibly ... perhaps even far too ... tolerant and accommodating.

this is becoming intolerable...2 of our mods are asking you to change the color in 2 little bitty ole buttons...not raise the Titanic.

Sorta. I bet it has something to do with the fact that you are whining over the color...while kpigout has that same color in his avatar and sig.
I mean, really...think of it as the color of the tiger and not freaking Tennessee.
Do Volunteer fans even dislike Memphis? It seems like it's a one-way rivalry...
