Seriously, I've never seen them actually do anything usefull.
we dont do anything really
just try to keep things flowing well
flowing smoothly? things flowed smoother before there were mods.
then PM the MGT and tell her to get rid of us
I'm too lazy for that.the mods were originally made to prevent people from posting unsafe for work images. it seems as though they're doing everything other than that.
Im sorry you feel that way,,,
youre always welcome to go away
Quote from: MalaulIm sorry you feel that way,,,

might not be a half bad idea.
What really lame is if you would go away just cause someone is going against you
over metaquotes
thats really dumb
SO ok guys,
Maybe Hotsuma hassa point
how many of you feel that the mods are just a waste of time?
actually, the boards have been declining at a fairly steady pace for quite some time. If you recall I was for a complete purge a while back for that very reason.
so try to make it better then
post more important things than video reviews and bitching about the mods
at least we are trying,,,

there hasn't been a review since the Drakengard one, and that only came into being because Lister requested it. I've only complained about the mods once, maybe twice...can't remember exactly.
what do you recommend then?
what would you like us to do to make it better for you?
well shit
Hotsuma has left the forums
to whom ever else Ive managed to piss off or offend Im sorry
it wasnt my intention,,,
:oops:
Muahahahhaha :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
I say no more mods complete anarchy.
::kidnaps the mods and hides them in a mirror::
BTW malaul instigated it being all idle and everything. :)
damn Idle mods. lounging around. deleting posts. DAMNIT!
hehehehehhe
and wats wrong hotsuma too much cussing and meta quoting adverserly reacting with your antipsychotics.

Relax.
I'm sorry, I just don't see this "decline" that Hotsuma's talking about.
Now, I've only been here since May of last year- a lot of you were here before I showed up. So if any of you old-timers can recall an era when the forums contained anything considerably more than:
-Stupid Word Games (TM)
-Links to funny/interesting websites
-Random fights and arguments between members, often about nothing in particular
-Rants, reviews, and other bitchings
-Fluff
-Quizzes, polls, and getting-to-know-you threads (like "PICS", "Where do you live", etc.)
-Silly one liners or innocuous comments which inexplicably lead to 8-page-long discussions
....then let me know. Otherwise, I still find the forums to be just as entertaining a distraction as they were when I first showed up.

Things are WAY better than they used to be.
Hotsuma is just having a fit of elitist pique.
"Oh, look at me, everybody! I've been here long enough to remember when things were WAY KEWL! Aren't I special?"
Pffft.

There used to be a little less fluff, but I think it was mostly because we had fewer members.
To everyone complaining about Mods and/or fluff: choose one - strict moderators or fluff. you just can't have it both ways. The Mgt removed serveral "dead" treads because they
take up space, and the space ain't free. Be glad we still have a place where you can sayt or do almost anything without having the Admin or Mods jump all down your throat. And if you want to have a serious coversation,
just have it. Bring up a serious issue, and ignore the inevitable fluff.
As for me, if I want serious, I go over to the Mirror (http://dia.stgulik.net/phpBB/) or Nanowrimo. (http://www.nanowrimo.org/forums.php)
i think mods are a good idea. someone needs to have a set of keys.. maybe a few people. and would you trust -me- with them?
i'm an asshole. i wouldn't trust me with them.
i think hotsuma's just a grumpy pirate.. but i like him cause of it.
i don't always agree with everyone here, but i like them, as a general rule.. even chef and the grammar nazi. it's part of the charm of this demented clubhouse.
if hotsuma's really left for good, peace man, your loss, dig.
there may be a position of 'official stabbinator' open at some point.
submit your applications to the mods.
hotsuma is dead!
I doubt he actually left.
At best, he'll be back tomorrow acting like normal. At worst, he'll be back tomorrow as a troll. Either way, he's not one to just up and leave. Trust me.

reading your reactions has been better than the actual gag.

We need the mods because their main duty is to catch and fry fish for us to eat.

Quote from: illusionWe need the mods because their main duty is to catch and fry fish for us to eat.
Can't they do that without modlike powers?
i know I can
I used to be a fish instructor atta day camo
Quote from: KapzamQuote from: illusionWe need the mods because their main duty is to catch and fry fish for us to eat.

Yes, they can, but their modlike powers surely make it easier to tell who is who and which fish needs to be caught and deepfried.
I see
Quote from: KapzamI see
I thought you'd understand.
Quote from: illusionI thought you'd understand.
So did I :/
i think i should be a mod, given that 2-3 out of 5 mods rarely post anymore(or not particularly regularly anyway) i hav eexperience at two boards, and come with my own mod bat and ammunition, as well as action plate.
and plus i want my name to appear green.
mod powers are kinda like really cool accessories to wear at the forum..
cyber bling, if you will.
::snicker:: cyber bling indeed ::snicker::
do we really need more mods?!?!? I think the ones here do a great job...
I think at one point there was talk of making everyone a Mod ...
now that would be a not good idea.
I gotta agree with that.
Not a good idea at all.

Zorga, having little or no impulse control, cannot be trusted to be a mod.

that pretty much sums me up as well.,
No wonder Zorga likes you.
I think one minor diffrence though is that I'd rather destroy the world...
minor?
Quote from: HotsumaI think one minor diffrence though is that I'd rather destroy the world...
I see no difference.
Rule the world - destroy the world.
It all comes down to the same thing in the end.
hmmm...true...
if you destory the worl dhwo can you become mroe or less immortal using cloning and launch a galctic empire, bringing destruction and pwnage to endless worlds across the cosmos.
yup
Or you could become a powerful Archmagus, destroy a god, thus becoming a God, and then destroy all the other gods and leave the world a barren, lifeless husk.

I havent even tried it!!!

Quote from: HotsumaSeriously, I've never seen them actually do anything usefull.
This is true.
Not one of the mods here has mopped Zorga's floor or washed her car.
Not true, honey.
I mopped your floor and did your dishes when I was at your house in July, remember?
Touche!
Yup.
Touche, Zorga!
Oh BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMP!
Why are you punishing us?
What did we do wrong?

So in answer to the question, the mods mostly bump old threads as part of an ongoing info-terrorist campaign against ordinary forum members.

I remember those mods. They, for the most part, sucked by ANYONE'S standards.
Hugh and Malaul were the worst, of course. Malaul favored anyone who would flirt with her fat ass (Horab). If you argued with one of her pets, she'd wait til they got a zinger in, and then close the thread so you couldn't respond.
Hugh caused 80% of the problems, while - at first - pretending to be impartial, via about 200 alt accounts, then eventually went on his "fair is not in the job description" kick, and started shutting down anyone who failed to lick his prostate.
If you missed Hugh's attempt to return (at EB&G), you missed some high-quality laughs.

Yes. It was the same tired shit.

Wasn't he also deleting TTM's posts because he owned him in a few arguments?

i'm so glad i got here on the upward slope of this board's mod-history (Jan'06)
I could have sworn Malaul reappeared for a very brief stint.
In any case, I'm also in the "thank goodness I missed all that bullshit" category. (Reg'd September '07)

She did. And I guess I'm in the category of not thinking she was that bad. Granted I'm talking from May 05 forward. But I will agree with the others about Hugh.
