officialfan.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=rules&action=display&thread=11888151077. COPYRIGHTED FOOTAGE - Do not place links to downloadable copyrighted material. Do not place links to File-Sharing programs. Remember, WWE owns WCW and ECW material, and their Lawyers are always watching. Feeds are an example of this and the consequences are slightly different, as it has its own thread. This includes themes and asking others to procure themes for you. Do not make threads asking for themes, theme trades, etc. Also, do not post massive amounts of videos from one show or fed all at once. Gotcha, my bad. So is it ok to ask for them in your sig? Like I said, I've just seen this from time to time. We have generally tried to be accomodating to a degree on this subject; we can't really allow explicit public posting for them (and you noted some who have them in their sigs...I deal with those as I find them) - there are ways around this though. Just something general and vague in the sig...something like "looking for a particular theme - PM me for more info" or something...try to keep it vague though. "Looking for WCW themes" isn't good. I don't particularly LIKE this rule myself, believe it or not. Unlike video footage, I really don't see a lot of lost dollars in theme trading. But I'm erring on the side of caution here, because I just REALLY don't want WWE's lawyers on our asses (I know you asked for TNA, but if we allow that, then we have to for WWE too).

No problems. I completely understand the lawyer stuff. Thanks for clearing it up.

Not a question, but just a heads up on something I noticed. In the Forum FAQ, a couple of the links are outdated and no longer work. In particular, the Lex Luger video links to a site that no longer exists, and the El Dandy video was apparently removed.

I've got a Luger vid on my Youtube account if they want to link to it: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hL9Movl58wI

Maybe some of that stuff can die... we can hope anyway.

Can you guys do something about that stupid Chris Benoit = Hardcore Holly because it's so damned funny to post this tired joke?

As with most of the fads, I expect mods to take little or no action regarding that. Unfortunately, what's funny to one poster might not be funny to the others. I happen to find Benoit = Holly a helluva lot funnier than many of those other jokes, but such is life, I suppose.
I'm reasonably sure that Madison and other mods have taken the stance that its not their place to be telling people which jokes, tired or not, are acceptable as long as they meet the stated rules. Near as I can tell, Chris Benoit = Bob Holly doesn't violate any rules.

In that case, not to turn the Ask a Mod thread into a debate by any means. While what Benoit did was unexcusable, it's been six months. I'm tired of seeing it so I'll just avoid the wwe current forums until the fad dies a deserving death.

It's that dynamic of TNA Mark vs TNA Fan. The TNA Mark thinks that TNA can do no wrong, and everything is golden, and Lance Storm should bury his head in the sand. The TNA Fan thinks TNA needs to improve, There are some good and bad points that are becoming detrimental to a potentially great company, and Lance Storm has great insight into the wrestling business. Those two kinds of people will forever clash, unfortunately

If you find it funny to replace a guy who murdered two people with a guy who has nothing to do with it EVERY f***ING TIME funny, more power to you. Some of us just are sick of seeing it done EVERY f***ING TIME.

I don't see any problem with it. Thnaks for the permission... but the idea was quietly ret-conned out of my brain & I can no longer remember the examples I was going to mention in the thread... Possibly best to wait 'til the "Comic Book Kayfabe" thread has disappeared from the front few pages anyway.

I know you guys don't care for certain requests, but how about making "Bob Holly" filter to Chris Benoit? Yes, I know Bob is still an actual employee, but that would actually make people break that lame habit quicker, in my opinion.

Is it just me or is the forum clock thing 5 or 6 minutes slow?

Silly question because I`m bored.
We`re discouraged from talking about Iraq and stuff because of the political stuff that goes with it. However, what if World War III broke out? Would the forums stay as a politics free zone or would it be allowed for that?
I realise we`d most likely all be dead or fending off armies of zombies, but just wondering under what circumstances would it be permitted to discuss modern politics or international happenings.

I think it's a case of "We'll cross that bridge if we come to it". Hopefully, it'll never happen.
