    Is the mod referring to the weather forum?

    I just gave up my account as a whole to go incognito. Easier to post without any attention whatsoever. My inbox has also recovered.

    I dropped 2 forums which were at the lower end of the scale as the incremental pay didnt reflect the workload.

    Do you still not miss that extra €40k a year though?

    Maybe this could become known as the "B" year. First the Banks and then the Boards.

    I'm only here sporadically these days, so I wasn't really doing any moderating any more, and s-modding was pretty much all I was doing on boards.

    I site-banned a lot of people as an s-mod, especially as that includes a lot of the most clear-cut cases to deal with (spam-bots, porn-spammers, threats of violence and so on). Forum bans were a lot rarer (infractions were after my time).

    Yup, they both stepped down. When Karoma dumped Tom, things just got way too awkward in the mod forum so they thought it was for the best.

    I step down when I find better people to fulfil the role...

    * looks at Myth.

    * thinks again

    ...Personal reasons. Mind your own business.

    I think I speak for all the new mods when I say that this coke has been so stepped on it wouldn't even make a baby poop and those hookers, if I am not mistaken, have absolutely no teeth.
    Who let Hagar have first go ffs?

    Not always such a disadvantage when you think about it.

    Well if we ask snyper to act as a middleman these things may happen.

    OT? I reckon that real life just gets in the way sometimes, hopefully in a good way.

    +1 to Will, damn good mod.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    There are 700+ mods afaik... if each of them serves 2 years, there would be a mod-resignation a day!

    Man, prison terms just for modding a forum. Harsh.

    I guess some mods get fed up of the constant feedback attacks.

    That second hooker was a bit ropey, btw.

    I still refuse to believe that was a birthmark.
