<rant>OK... what gives here? About 2 weeks ago, some mod decides to change the link in my profile (the 'cowbell' became a REAL cowbell). Sure, it was a joke and that's all fine and dandy. I've got a sense of humor.
Not long after that, the mods asked me to stop the constant updating of 'cowbell'. Not enough time to monitor it, and all that. Fine again. It's their forum and we play by the rules.
Tonight I check out the link in my sig, and someone (gotta be a mod) has changed it once again. It was funny the first time, but why this time? What have I done wrong? What is wrong with this picture? It's been up for over a week. No one sent me an email... no one gave me a warning. IT WAS A LINK TO ANNOUNCE THE BIRTH OF MY SON.
If you have a problem with it... tell me about it. Don't just change it and think you're being funny or making the world a better place. I stopped the whole cowbell thing without a fuss, just like I was asked. Ask me to change my sig if you don't like it.</rant>
IBhacknU,
I am the mod who wrote you and edited the link in your sig, both times. The last one I edited was to the picture others in this thread call "the girl bending over." While she appeared to be well equipped to feed your new son, the actual photo was more along the lines of the old cowbell links.
I am one of the guy mods, and I can appreciate the photos, but for our forums they are pushing the edge, and the first one I edited was out of bounds. We still do not have time to monitor every picture you might add to the series. I wrote you, the first time. Editing your link was an easy way to make the point, this time.
I hope that answers your question.
