I didn't get the chance to see Butch's post about crying about my PM to him. That's right it was a fucking PM = PRIVATE MESSAGE. If Butchy-Boy wants to air it on the board, fine. I will post here for all to see:

I am a one man band. This is MY board. I will run it how I see fit. I am the CEO/President/CFO/CIO/PIA/MIA of this site. I make the rules. I enforce the rules. I don't give a rat's ass who the hell you are. I have told Marlin Crawler that I will ban his ass in the past. I would ban my mother if she didn't follow the rules.....

The rules are there is no commercial advertising on the board. There are exceptions:

*If you are a sponsor - ie: give me money, or give myself or one of my moderators products, you get SOME leeway.
*Pirates of the Rubicon 4wd Club members who own businesses are allowed at will to promote their businesses.

These are the general exceptions to the rule of no commercial advertising. I cannot patrol the board 24/7 for rule breakers. But when someone reports "offenses" to me, I can act on them.

Some of you people crack me up. Think about it. Think about what this place would be like without rules, and trying to enforce them. Think you could do better? Start pricing servers and let's see what you can do. Otherwise, follow my rules and don't whine like a little bitch when I ask you (nicely) to follow them. :mad:

As much as I didn't think butch's posts were ads, Lance, you gotta do what you've gotta do.

Hey! Smilies are back! :flipoff2:

Ummm... actually Mr. CEO does have offspring and is a proud Papa. I understand you are merely commenting that Butch is proud of Josh's work, and rightfully so. Lance was merely pointing out that, in his not-so-humble opinion as the owner/operater of this site, that Butch broke the rules of the site. Thats it, end of story. Now back to our regularly scheduled bitching and moaning.:rolleyes:

Back to the B&M...
Hey, you're 2 months newer than I am :flipoff2:

And on the computers I've been using to surf pirate, the smilies actually DID go away, and just had the text where they went! :flipoff2:
