Primer
Watching Primer again for about the 5th time. Still not sure I understand it completely. If you like time travel or movies that really make you think, I'd highly recommend Primer.

2 isn't a requirement, it's an effect. Moderating takes too much time to play a lot of games in general.

4, decided by the current moderators and admins, though retired mods/admins are also asked to weigh in. When possible we go with a team of 5, seems to work well. So when an active mod/admin steps down we consider the people active on the site at that time.

All Moderators have been selected to the end of days. If a current Mod retires, we'll be starting at the beginning again with DangerMouse, Wonderllama, and Crispminis.

bo, you're just jealous that I got a nomination (and Draug) before you! :P (Starts designing my ban hammer...makes sure it's has a bo-sox shaped indent in it already...heh heh...)

No, it's just a really dumb thread. This obviously has nothing to do with us (the regular players) and everything to do with the mod team. They've been able to operate in privacy for years and we have no reason to start forcing our way into it because it works well as is.

As I told zultar in private the other day, I don't want to be a moderator. He can back me up on that.
Hellenic Riot (1626 D(G))

I'm not entirely sure why anyone would "want" to be a moderator if they had any idea about the work and the general lack-of-thanks moderators get on almost every site.

If geofram was still mod, he would give you such a shit fit right now. I remember someone asking him about being mod and he went on a rant for days. I wish I could find that thread.

bo -- so do tell us, what *is* a good thread, since you are obviously much wiser in the way of creating really *smart* threads than poor old Nigee? (Whom, by the way, is not a mod, and does not speak for the mods, and was just creating a troll thread in which he could capture the likes of you and I.)

I'm highly amused that you are offended by this thread and actually take it seriously.

+10 Nigee!!

Krellin, if your remarks were serious toward my comment instead of toward me personally, I'd respond. Unfortunately, you don't often go that route.

@bo - I don't give a shit if you comment back to me. I commented on your comment, and on you personally, because you are getting your panties in a bunch of a thread, acting as if you are the arbiter of what is and what is not a good thread.

You are ridiculous. But I'm sure that you are very wise beyond your years, and we should al adhere to the Bo-sox Philosophy of Thread Creation, if you would simply publish such guidelines for us so that we may be so enlightened...

Oh please, wise one, do enlighten us so that our time on these threads may be fruitful!
