Who is the new Rock & Metal Mod...?

    It is I!

    Just thought I'd post to let you all know I've been chosen to try and fill the mod boots left by Malice. No small task, but I'll give it my best shot!

    Some of you will probably recognise me from the forum, I may not be the most familiar face, but I visit the forum all the time and will be doing my best to keep everything running smoothly.

    This forum is one of the nicest environments for discussion on Boards, and I hope it stays that way while I'm moderator.
    I'm new to modding so hopefully it won't take too long for me to get up to speed.

    In the meantime, keep on rocking and keep up the chat! And once again, a big thanks to Malice for all the great work he put in during his time as Mod!

    A big task! But I guess with Malice no longer being a Mod it means we can ignore the suggestions to have it in Galway :P

    Well done Dr. P :)

    Anyone else embarrassed for this lad???

    Congrats Dr.Poca


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 445 ✭✭viadah


    In fairness, he ****ed up, noticed his mistake and corrected himself where he could've deleted the post. I would've deleted it, so would a lot of us, so maybe it speaks of his moral character?!

    Anywho, Dr. Poca, how do you feel about the Birthday Massacre?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,345 ✭✭✭Somnus


    Thanks for the welcomes all.

    And no hard feelings scudzilla, simple mistake.

    Getting the mod spot will give me added incentive to lurk less and post more

    I've never really listened to them. Will have to check out some songs and get back to you!

    Balls. Malice swung it for both of us last year in 'Best Rock', it was nice having a mod on side!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,132 ✭✭✭Just Like Heaven


    He'll never get back to you either, just didn't wanna hurt your feelings.

    No need to feel embarrassed for me, was a simple mistake. When i clicked on Dr Poca's name to left of OP i selected see more posts, as not had much interaction with the guy and didn't recognise name.
    When the posts came up 'Best Match' was dislayed first, which showed he'd not posted in R&M in over a year, i didn't select 'Newest First', like i should have, my fcuk up.

    I only brought it up as R&M is a subject i'm passionate about and i like this forum, so the thoughts of giving it to someone who never posted here was a bit wrong in my book.

    I could easily have deleted but that's not my way, i stand by what i say, right or wrong, but if i'm wrong i'd rather edit a thread and apologose and explain.

    In the midst of all this i must apologise again for not congratulating the old Dr.Poca on getting his free Coke & Hookers membership card ;)
