Game Day: Thunder (22-17) @ Suns (15-26), Sun 1/7/18

Guys, it's never off topic to thank Marty or to bust Mori. They both always deserve more than they get.

BTW, did the "no current Suns logos as avatars" rule die with the old site? Because I think TOO's in violation. V9’s probably OK.

I have never been contacted by the team about that issue. And I have seen sports team logos / player photos all over avatars on every other forum and site all over the web. I am starting to think that it cannot possibly be the actual law. I don't know what was up with trying to restrict that before. I think it may have just been the team trying to scare Sose / the old site. But I'm unsure.

Yeah, I think a certain poster on the other site with a certain offensive avatar prompted it. Can't be certain though.

yes, i recall an issue with an avatar with an offensive element at the time

[carey]

That is hilarious. You can find offensive stuff for any team after searching twitter for 30 seconds.

Yeah, this was all pre-Twitter. It was a different world. We're getting old.

Doesn't ring a bell.

[1tinsoldier]

something related to a coach, perhaps -- Frank Johnson?

[Mori Chu]

I thought it was something about an African-American hobbit portrait? Something about a giant black Bilbo?

I just laughed visibly loud at that and might have woken someone up.

Not unless their eyes were open.

[Mori Chu]

Do yourself a favor and don't Google Image Search for "*il*o Baggins".

Close, but no 'cigar.'

Back then I talked to the Suns counsel (he called me directly after a strongly worded email I sent) to talk through it. Besides Mori being a dick (figuratively/literally), their stance was a common person may come to the site, and with all of the official images, believe it to be a site sponsored or run by the Suns org. That was why the banner came down and logo we see above was born. As cap said, it is a different world now.

[O_Gardino]

Well, we know that someone in the Suns org was checking the site daily. The shit hit the fan fast. And that was before the days of official social media liaisons.

[jonh]

But we can never forget the greatness of Langhi's practice skills.
