    I have to say (having been a mod many times in many places ... not here) That I really admire the humour and patience of you guys. I have often sat and read the posts in the Prison and actually fallen about laughing. You folks do a grand job, and heaven help me if I ever end up in there as I simply could not compete with that. No matter what other folks say, I think what you do is very very good and you are the best at it that I know of.

    I think in your shoes I would be loading for bear very swiftly. It is a good education if I ever take up the truly thankless task of modding elsewhere again. (And no I have no plans to do that in a hurry :D )

    Being a mod here is educational, really, there are so many skills learned that can be transferred to real life.
    I'll echo your sentiments, thanks boards!

    You learn the lyrics to Mysterious Cities of Gold pretty sharpish at the beers. Comes in handy in situations you'd never expect.

    Tell us what you really think... :)

    P.S. Gordon should probably be writing a prison sitcom.

    I'd ban the OP for brown-nosing if I wasn't the Mod he's talking about.

    Actually I am not sure I would really want to brown nose a goat.

    To be honest I am not so much brown-nosing as (in my own roundabout way) saying thanks. I know it seldom happens.

    You're on your own there.
    That key is kept on his person at all times and nobody in their right mind would get that close to him, even while he's sleeping!

    Yes, because massaging the admins' huge collective ego is all it takes to be made a mod. :rolleyes: indeed.

    God forbid that ever happens, I have done so well. I am still here, after my time in Hell.

    No I don't want to be a mod and I never will do. I tend to be more of a 'hammer of the gods' and ban everyone if they dare look at the keyboard. So no I don't want the job at all and nor would I suit it on a place like this. I was really just trying to be genuine.

    Now you see, that post is very nice and polite ... and it still made me laugh. I could never post something like that. :D

    But, as far as I'm aware, Rub is a bloke and unless he's got a pair of substantial moobs, he's out of luck. :D

    Have you been watching me secretly Beruthiel? Flattered as I am, the release of that information about my well formed moobs could lead to a rush of fans that I simply can not cope with, OG didn't so much make the day, more like night-mares.

    (In Wales they seem to prefer sheep to goats, I am starting to realise why.)

    Ah yes OldGoat may I rifle through your wardrobe? (Handily placed next to his drinks cabinet)

    Wish I had known, I could have put on a show for you. Wrestling polarbears for fish, milking crocodiles, twirling the tassles on my moobs, all kinds of interesting and informative stuff like that. :D:D

    A slow lingering infraction perchance. A hot burning Ban to be administered in the deepest depths of Castle De Boards? :D

    Yes, yes indeed.

    Maybe we should have a dungeon for such things. You know, before Prison. Or is that the Feedback forum?

    I may be wrong here, but appears you may be suggesting a forum where prisoners can interact with each other and provide feedback on the prison process. Genius.

    It wasn't so long ago that users could interact with inmates :)

    We do.
    I set it up years ago, did I forget to tell you?
    It's called the Pit of Despair.

    Maybe not.
    If it did exist, (and I'm not saying it does you understand) it's secretly hidden and no one can hear you scream.

    Can anyone hear you shriek? I only asked because I am told a high pitched shriek is a very attractive trait in a man.

    *goes away to practice his shrieking ... stopping near to OG's drinks cabinet on the way and staring mournfully at it*
