    [​IMG] *sigh*
    Once again, it falls on me to make the absolutely predictable smart-ass comment, so here it goes:

    Little-known fact -
    One of the most important prerequisites for being an admin/mod on any Board is that you have to be completely and utterly lacking in any sense of humour whatsoever. That's we have the best! :p

    What are you talking about?!? BTA did the most hilarious thing on that napalm/peanut butter thread!

    Tal is pretty funny, but he's got a more cynical humour. He tends to interject at the last moment with something that's serious but totally funny because he let it go on for so long. Like "what the hell?" at the end of 200 "Arr"'s and "matey" in the Talk Like a Pirate day thing on #sorcerers.

    Slightly off topic, but are moderators able to alter poll results? ;)

    No one without server access, and I'm the only one that fits the bill. Not that I would ever do something like that. :shake:

    @ Aldeth the Foppish Idiot

    I checked his profile when I started. He is listed as a moderator.

    Aldeth the Foppish Idiot, ever check the front page? Or the topics in SS? How'd you get to this one, you had to go by the Moderator Changes one...

    Why dont we demand that the moderators show a bit for us, try to convince us why we should vote on them? Come on Tal! BTA! Beren! Why should just you get our vote? Prove that you are the funniest one! Crack a joke, do a little dance, deserve your vote! ;)

    I just made a new Idiot of the Week. I think his title is pretty witty. Does that count? :D

    At the risk of deserving the plaque myself, how do you locate the reigning IoTW to check out the humor?

    Yes, now that I actually opened my eyes, I see he is listed. It just never occurred to me that he might be. I've never seen him doing any type of policing or the like on the boards, so it never even entered my mind as a possibility.

    EDIT: I just saw that he was made a mod last week. I wasn't on the boards last week, so I missed it.

    As someone who has fallen foul of Tal's idiot of the week plaque, I will say that his comments are quite funny.

    Muskstick. His title is "Spam is best left canned." or something similar. Very clever indeed, Tal. Not sure how to find him, though.

    Thanks, Tal. Can I suggest an addition of " . . . on the shelf in the market." That stuff is vile.
