Le sigh. This never would've happened back in my day...
Anyways, this little bickering thing is silly. Sure, I hardly come and post anymore. Sure, I could hardly construct a list of the currently active users. But may the mighty diety in the sky strike me down if I let this continue without my two cents.
To the mods: lead by example. If you're going to take the responsibility to represent the forum, do a respectable job. Even if it takes all your will, restrain yourselves from lashing out, and keep a level head. The latter also includes the whole "treat everyone the same" dealy majig. Thinking of other users as some sort of entity to fued with is a dangerous game that leads nowhere. Also, try and start some topics of reasonable discussion or otherwise awesome links etc..., and carry on legitimate conversation within them. Good topics help create a happier atmosphere.
To the general population: Remember that the difference between the mods and you is a special title, and a slew of varingly tedious responsibilities. Hold yourselves up to their level, and remember that if you want this place to stick around, not even the fanciest of custom titles grants the bearer a magic wand to remedy a situation. Also take note that once upon a time, I made two threads, one involving SPAM and the other GENERAL POSTING TIPS. After seeing all of this jumble, yours truly plans on making a few updates to them sometime in the next few days. Don't recall if I ever made a section on posting etiquette, but I'll be sure to if there isn't.
That's about all I got. I've been trying to rush this post, as there's a beast brewing in my bowels, and it can't wait to go swimming. Accept my apologies if anything is either grammarically incorrect, or just plain fuzzy/wrong.
