You stole that from Ghost.

I probably got my position because no other moderator of the forum is interested in RPGing anymore. Basically years ago, the current RPG mod vanished off the face of the Earth for a while and the RPG section bascially exploded due to a complete lack of moderation. T-nex was appointed the emergency replacement moderator, probalby cus she was the most active member in the forum at the time. When she left she suggested me as a replacement.
Not entirely sure why I got the FC job as well, but years ago when they still did the election system I applied for the position and got about 1 vote (from myself:p). I was, when I first joined, very active in FC so I guess that's why I got it now.

Something about being a mod always appealed to my tyrannical nature, and it has been fun. I don't know if its because I'm secretly deep down a power-mad, tyrannical lunatic, or cus it means when I see someone breaking rules I can do something about it, rather than having to leave it to someone else.
Plus I get to see all the sordid goings-on of the employee lounge. Every student in the world wants to see what's going on in the employee lounge.

I remember the times when Xav was appointed. That was around when I joined the Forums.

:

Oh, and that’s not a knock at Xav’s mod skills; OD was just saturated with idiots at the time.

Hmm... Any specific names? Just for nostalgic purposes...

After my GD era, I got into the RPG section. Back then, Rexy was in charge there. I always liked the idea of being a mod there, but never reached the title. After Rexy came Hobo... Then Red Muse... Then T-nex... Then Splat... In the last two years, RPG modship was appointment-based, if I remember right.

Luckily, I grew out of my modship-related aspirations. I wouldn't have the time and the interest anyway.

didn't Ghost become a mod because he constantly annoyed everyone about it?

hmm that gives me an idea...

Havoc 11-11-2007 07:07 AM

The last thing you'll become is a mod if you keep whining about it. In fact you're more likely to receive a ban before you are appointed a moderator...

mitsur 11-11-2007 10:16 AM

I believe the only reason Ghost wasn't banned is because he gave each thing he posted in an eccentric flair.

Yeah, remember when Ghost was ceaselessly campaigning for being the mod of Burial Grounds? And then nate finally gave it to him for about a month.

Havoc 11-11-2007 12:11 PM

I seem to have missed that? When was this?

Nate 11-11-2007 02:15 PM

Well... I changed his Custom Title to say he was Necrum mod. Seeing as Necrum only contains dead threads, he didn't think it odd that he had no powers at all.

Splat 11-11-2007 03:25 PM

Havoc, it started pretty much the same as your bikini. And I'll leave it at that.

Strike Witch 11-11-2007 09:22 PM

Oh, I love it when I enter a thread that mentions me without me having posted.

Oh, and I created OWF.

I used the Allspark.

Do not... mention... THE BIKINI! :fuzmad:

mitsur 11-12-2007 05:01 AM

Ah yes, one of the finer things to come out of Untold Legend.

God bless Rexy for making that one happen :D

Jordan 11-12-2007 06:33 AM

I remember the countless number of signatures with the words 'Havoc' and 'Bikini' in them. Good times.

Havoc 11-12-2007 06:55 AM

I didn't think so... The only reason I didn't ban absolutely everyone remotely affiliated with the bikini incident was because Rexy started it and I can't go out and ban my favorite girl on the forum, now can I? So you're all lucky...

Bullet Magnet 11-12-2007 10:35 AM

That was what made it funny, Havoc :p

In other news, just why does the :fuzmad: icon look so damn n00bish?

LaraRaider 11-24-2007 02:12 PM

Hmm............
Intresting!

Paramite of War 11-24-2007 03:36 PM

This is one of the best threads ever, thanks for making it so great guys. :)

alf's brother's mate 11-25-2007 02:25 AM

Yeah, this thread is a thread i have been waiting for to occur, as i was to nervous of making a fool of myself by personally creating it.
I would love to be a moderator, but I know i never will be! :p
But we can all dream. Where is Alcar in all of this? *sniggers*

Wil 11-25-2007 03:26 AM

Not in Sheffield, that’s for sure.

alf's brother's mate 11-25-2007 05:05 AM

huh? are you from sheffield?

Hobo 11-25-2007 07:31 AM

Shut the fuck up.
