This has been a popular question lately, so I chatted with Dan about the failed threads in the past, and we've come up with some guidelines for one FINAL attempt at making this work.
In a nutshell, Dan's cool with the idea, as long as we keep the thread free from non-photo replies, and have a quick way to remove photos if a user asks for their photo to be taken down. He's also given permission to ban users who abuse this thread.

Now ... We obviously want you folks to have as much fun as possible here at Armor Games, but we also want to make sure that everyone feels safe with the idea of posting a picture, so we have come up with some guidelines and rules. Failure to follow these rules will result in escalating temporary bans, up to and including a permanent ban from Armor Games. If it gets out of hand, this thread will be deleted, and no new photo threads will be allowed. Ever. Case closed. This is our last chance, m'kay?
Moderators have been instructed to delete posts without photos, which removes the Armor Points from the person who wrote it.
Rule #1. Any photos posted here must abide by all of our Terms and Conditions with respect to being clean, family-friendly, and so on. Photos that contain rude/obscene poses, hand gestures, or anything else in the picture with rude/offensive phrases on them etc. (ie: t-shirts, posters), will be removed and bans will be issued at the moderators' discretion. NO EXCEPTIONS.
Rule #2. This is NOT a chat topic. Every reply must contain a new photograph of you (do not post the same photo more than once; duplicates will be deleted by moderators). You're more than welcome to write some text in your post to describe the photo (a caption), what's going on, who's in it, etc. if you wish, as long as it follows our Terms and Conditions. Feel free to reply as often as you like with updated photos.
Rule #3. Photographs MUST be a clear photograph of you, or a situation where you appear clearly in the photo. Blurry photos may be removed by moderators at their discretion. If you post a group shot, please indicate where you are in the group.
Rule #4. Replies will be removed if they do not contain a photo of you. If you want to post a picture of your pet, you need to be in the photo as well. NO EXCEPTIONS. Replies WITH photos will also be removed if they contain comments or feedback about another user's photo which are disrespectful in any way, or otherwise against our Terms and Conditions. NO EXCEPTIONS.

If you are feeling harassed, teased, or bothered by any other user anywhere else on the site because of your photograph, you may ask a moderator or an admin to remove your photo -- post a message on their profile page directly telling them which page your photo is on so we can find it faster. Please also let the moderator/admin know who is bothering you and what's being said so we can resolve the problem.
If your photo gets removed, it has been removed for a reason. If you re-post the same (or similar) photo, expect consequences.
These rules have been agreed upon by all of our moderators, and their questions have been answered by me so that we agree as a team about what is allowed or not. If your photo gets removed, it has been removed for a reason; don't ask for justification. If it was removed, it didn't follow one of our rules.
I tried to resize it... so it might look a little off. The only fish of the day...and I caught it!!!!!!!! ...we were only 60 miles out in the gulf with a broke down engine... fuel spraying out into the gulf and the motor not starting... good times... good times. While the other people were fixing the boat I decided to cast a line out in the middle of the ocean to stave off the boredom. I ended up sitting on one side of the boat for a while and not having any luck... then I thought to myself "thou shalt cast thine line on the other side of the boat"...so I did. I let the line go out 4 times with no luck. I then thought "...and on the 5th time you shall catch a fish"...>_______> and.... I DID. The whole time this was going on my dad and his friend were working on the motor and having no luck getting it to start... as soon as the fish bit the hook their jerry-rigging worked (literally at the same exact moment in time) and the engine started(been working on it for over an hour w/ no actual legitimate spare parts). O______O I'm not lying... that's how it happened. Things like that just make me ponder the unknown things of the universe man... We fished a few actual legitimate wrecks and oil rigs and got nothing. It's just weird that there'd be a random fish out in the middle of nowhere.... but not impossible.
I'm a little squinty b/c the sun was in my eyes during the taking of the pic... and I'm red b/c I'm blond/pale and I sunburn terribly easily (forgot to use sunscreen:'(...).
dumbutdeadly, your best option for facebook images is to save it, then upload it onto photobucket and post it on here, that what i do and it works ;o
To not spam: Here is a picture of me from last Christmas, i was in a beer tent (with a beer bigger than my head) and decided it would be a great idea to buy an animal at. Why yes, i guess alcohol does make you a tool sometimes.
Yeah yeah, I know "i'm cool"...This is my pic of the summer Hopefully, I'll put on like at least 7 pounds of muscle by next summer lmao! Also I do realize my right arm is larger than my left...I bowl so that arm is always lifting 15lb balls and carrying around 45+ lb ball bags...
