A) Being mad about not having an emoticon is fucking retarded
B) Being mad about an emoticon is fucking retarded
C) My having to remove an emoticon because of some "Boohoo it could possibly have racial connotations and there's sixty tons of sand in my vagina" is fucking retarded
D) I'm retarded because now I've not only acquiesced but I've also enforced it.

You know what? I change my mind. I've removed it from the emoticons list but other than that I can't be held responsible for what you guys post from outside the boards as long as it isn't

A) Porn
B) Blatantly racist
C) Gore
D) Probably something else I can't think of right now but I'll put D here just to cover my own ass anyhow.

Carry on gentlemen.

/and thats the thread. lol

lol @ mindless post i agree with some of it..... but i think ppl got the right to be a lil annoyed one whiny vag got us all punished n shit.... like that fat kid at gym class coach be like if fat ass dont finish 10 laps ya'll gonna run with em n shit

If you really think of the removal of a gif from a message board as punishment then there's MUCH deeper issues going on here.

I was annoyed at having to put in the modicum of effort that was required to go in and remove the bbcode link to the image as well as trying to fuck with vB's TERRIBLE worldfilter system which doesn't even fucking wordfilter properly.

i meant more along the lines of suffering for others bs..... one of those lacked a better word situations..... honestly i dont give a fuck i use the :high: .... but we gonna see alot more creative subliminal racist shit because of it....

The removal of the Monkey is a symbol of political correctness gone mad and a sign of a nanny/Nazi (Nannazy?) state being put into place. It's much more than an emoticon. It's a symbol of freedom.

this fawkin guy...

so.....much.......hyperbole.....

Because that's certainly been a HUGE problem around here for so long. That's why there's constant race baiting, the use of slurs and ohwaitthatdoesn'thappenatall.


Seriously. IDK why people suddenly think racism is such a huge problem on this site. This place has to be one of the most tame/fair places regarding race on the internet that I frequent. It's only going to happen if people keep bringing it up to the point where trolls know they can use it to get to people. Don't want that to happen? Knock it off. :cmonson:

@Mindless is spot on....i always felt like this site more than alot of forums was truly fuck EVERYBODY....not just fuck a certain race...part of why i've stayed so long

:Fuck everybody....:cartman:

The point you are missing completely though is that the monkey has been labelled with the racist tag when it wasn't even used with that in mind. That's the fucked up thing about it. People use the race card far too often as it is. and you just provide more power to that by removing something that wasn't even used in a racial way in the first place.

You've actually done more bad than good. It sends out the wrong message.

Is it just a animation?

Yes. But there is more to it than that, because if there wasn't you wouldn't have removed it in the first place.

French Women Must Have Evolved From Gorillas

dats wat yall niggas on lb have come too arguing over a smiley??? lmao

Sadly, For Us Black People's Argument, There Are White Furred Monkeys

Wait Wait Wait.. the entire @FAME banning was a joke.. guess it's on you. ask him lmao He was in on it the whole time.

The Monkey got brought up because someone couldn't just said "aight" and leave the situation alone. Yeah, I didn't like where it was going at all, as a mod or a black person but the point is ...anyone with common sense could have just stepped away from it like "word, that could be fucked up at some point" but nobody did so there you have it. It's gone. Cartman > Monkey

this whole this-n-that about it is dumb. and y'all really come off as Squidbillies crying about it. Use your Bristol City educated fucking brain on this OR take a trip to Brixton and ask the "ape" at the fuckin bar for a pint and see what happens lmao all up to you sis...(shrugs)

:smh:

5char

Nobody is stopping you from using it Corb. It's just not in the list anymore.

:cartman:
Screw you guys I'm going home

Their SKIN is white, their FUR is brown.

Lol, you need to back away from Fijis nuts.

Not everything is about race, it's a cunting monkey jumping up and down, and the fact YOU let DPS break up because one of your members pulled out the race card when he took an L from somebody who uses said emotion in a completely non-racist context, just shows how sensitive some people really can be.

Oh, and if you're going to act all educated, here's some knowledge for you, there's not only black people in Brixton. There's black people all over Bristol, we don't believe in segregation here.

Lol So Essentially I Brought It Back For Nothing?

I Don't Get It...But It's Whatevers, Lazy Motherfuckers Are Not Using It Anyways :smh:

Brought It Back For Nothing

That's Not Why DPS Split Up Babygirl :p

It's just a massive coincidence then lol

I don't know what's pissing me off more. The guy that got all butt hurt and Sandy Vagina about the emoticon or the people who are butthurt and Sandy Vagina about the other person getting butt hurt and Sandy Vagina AND are upset they don't have an emoticon in the list anymore although I've explicitly stated that I'm not going to stop it from being used and that it just will no longer appear in the list.

Either way you're all faggots and I hate every single last one of you for even having this stupid fucking argument. Drink bleach and cut your wrists you oversensitive cack smugglers.

You Can Believe Anything You Want But At The End Of The Day You'll Never Know :p

I'll Be Going Over Hya

Ofcourse we can still use it...Through the chore of having to copy and paste the code everytime. That will lead to the eventual extinction of the monkey.. That was the whole reason, if we can still use it then why make it harder to use, you guys obviously feel negetive emotions to it. some more than others, but you do *looks at mindless* otherwise why remove it from the list. as a matter of fact you guys got more invested over it than us cause you took the action to remove the fucking thing.

I thought it was off the list a while ago

nah........

Lmfaoooooo tick

seriously???? an emoticon was removed coz it may be taken as racist??? hasnt yet... but may be i the future??? dif its for the black reason surely the letters N G I R E and A should also be removed from the keyboard as its as easy 2 type it straight up anyway!! fuckin ridiculous....if it was used in that context the person should be given a warning if offence was taken not ban the fuckin monkey!!!!!lol

Lmfaooooooo

It was a few clicks in the ACP to remove it. That's still more effort than I would have liked to have made over something so fucking retarded but that's what it came down to because some faggots decided to start an argument over it and I wanted to stop that argument. I know you're all "Mindless is on some bullshit over there removing the emoticon so I'm gonna prove him wrong." but you're not seeing the big picture. You're looking at this one thing and not seeing where it's going and I'm trying to do something good for the welfare of this board and the site in general.

Here's what you guys don't get. Up until this place LB has been pretty much free of the "race debates" bullshit. It got brought up once in a while but it was always talked about tactfully and never got too far out of hand or spread outside the thread that it was in. We've always been good about joking with one another on the subject and not getting real salty about it too. Proof of that is that just about every thread I pop into turns into a string of Jew jokes and I'm okay with that. I've seen hispanic jokes, black jokes, white jokes and everyone's always been cool. I removed the monkey because someone decided to get sand in their pussy about some other shit and claim that that emoticon was something else. I got rid of it before that shit could spread out, and it would have, but now this Pandora's box has been opened and a carcinogen has been injected into these boards. I've seen a few posts of this shit already in this thread and I know exactly where it's headed. I don't want that shit here. I have to deal with it elsewhere but I don't want to deal with it in the one place that's always been free of it. You guys wanna keep arguing this bullshit but all you're doing is spreading the cancer. I did my best to contain it by merging the three threads (ABOUT A FUCKING EMOTICON). I'm asking nicely now that you guys knock this shit off and just go about your business like before and forget about that stupid fucking monkey. If you just HAVE to use it than img tag it in. I don't care, but it's not going back in the list no matter how much you guys argue about it.

Right now I'm just containing this cancer and keeping it from spreading in the hopes that it will go into remission on it's own. The next step is chemo.

tl;dr I'm not putting it back so you can stop arguing about it now. If you have a problem with that then you can take it up with the guy who decided to ruin it for everyone by telling him what an asshole he is. Also, let's not make this place like other places where every other thread is a race debate because honestly, at that point, I'm not even going to want to be here anymore.

mindless i agree with you race isnt a real issue on this site or many rap related sites ofc as battlers we clown an we all opinionated.... meh i'm suprised u still typin for em.... i just think it's like with this monkey shit its all we see now...it's an issue now wasn't before.... we to preemptive they werent even bein racist this what happens when someone gets there feelings hurt etc... we were conned dawg...


plus im arab you jewish us talking proves LB promotes love an peace yo

@Mindless Who let you out of the woman's tent? I thought you had to stay away from the men for like a week when you were on the rag?

For real tho, I co-sign just moving the fuck on and trying to get back to some semblance of normal of just hating everyone.

Nice reach. The DPS Split wasnt based on this whole situation though. A lot of people would like to take credit for it but it was a seperate descision all together. You might as Punk as to why DPS split because he's just about the only person to ask literally.

In relation to the emoticon.. I remember escalating a thread based on how somebody reacted when I asked them to chill on it without bias to whom was involved. And that person didnt have anything to do with DPS. I did my job as a mod and addressed it. How people react to it is really their descision.

I appreciate the invested interest though.
