[hat1018]

How many times has the Cosmo been entered with those pictures?

nvm, I looked at the rules. He can use them forever as long as he doesn't enter two months in a row.

 

[Wagonbacker9]

Admin team, you may want to inform this user he's out of compliance with the MOTM rules.

Not that it matters... no one has a chance when Herblenny enters. LOL

 

[M4N B4G]

Sorry I guess I didn't read the rules close enough. I have removed the post that is outside the rules. Sorry and I hope that this doesn't effect my eligibility.

 

[Cameron W.]

Busted ---^ oh crap...

 

[CRG Racer24]

Dat Cosmo doe

Hahaha yesss. That's how you speak in da skreetz.. doe.

 

[Bastian]

that's a shame cause I would've voted for M4N B4G

also, am I the only one not seeing bthai's photos?

 

[Antoine]

Unfortunately M4N B4G, you broke one of the core MOTM rules and that means you're disqualified this month. Consider it a lesson learned and know that you're welcome to enter from next month. Please make sure you thoroughly read through the MOTM rules before entering again, thank you and good luck next time!

As for bthai, I see Billy's pics...Anyone not seeing them..?

 

[hat1018]

I do not see them.

 

[Antoine]

Argh...Seems they're hosted via Facebook and I can't save (and re-host)...

bthai, can you host your pics elsewhere and post them here so we can actually see them (and I can update your entry)..?

 

[hat1018]

Will I be able to vote again since my first choice was DQ'd?

 

[Antoine]

Will I be able to vote again since my first choice was DQ'd?

I can add a vote for you manually...Who would you like to vote for..?

 

[hat1018]

I would like to get a look at bthai's pics first, but I am leaning that direction.

 

[BRIAN_MP5T]

Voted for Man Bag even though he was DQ, I hope he is able to enten next month.

Nick, yours is nice as well. Keep it up.

 

[Jaleik]

Still can't see bthai's pics.

 

[Bastian]
