Nominations!

[superdoug]

Here's your chance! We need to pick two group mods for our new corner of the SF. Nominate your choices here, and I'll make a poll in 24 hours with the top contenders, to be voted on. :thumbs2:

Of course, if there are only two contenders, a poll won't be necessary. :D

[Merlose]

Me!!!! Me!!! Me!!! :D

[Jase]

I'm currently accepting bribes for my vote. PM me and I'll reply with my PayPal ID.

Thank you in advance.

[malkii]

we need to make sure that the person that is going to do this can and will be impartial in all cases...

not saying that there is anyone that would be impartial its just that there are a lot of strong wills in this section...

[Merlose]

we need to make sure that the person that is going to do this can and will be impartial in all cases...


I just served on a jury, they asked me the same question before they picked me :D

[bat_collector]

I wouldn't mind being one of the two mods. I've done it before and promise to take the role seriously (as I did back then).

But, its up to you guys. One thing I woudln't do again is be so quick to edit threads. I'd do it when necessary, but would not be AS quick as I was before.

[malkii]

I just served on a jury, they asked me the same question before they picked me :D

and what was your answer??? :inquisiti

[malkii]

this thread is going to casue more debate than the democratic nomination... :)

[JonoJ108]

I just served on a jury, they asked me the same question before they picked me :D

and what was your answer??? :inquisiti

"Is he hot?"

[malkii]

"Is he hot?"

Of course I'm HOT... :thumbs2:









Oh I guess you weren't refering to me... My Bad...

[Merlose]

and what was your answer??? :inquisiti

of course! They let me serve on a jury on a criminal case. :D

[Merlose]

"Is he hot?"

I'm sizzling hot. :thumbs2:

Besides its about time we had a new type of Mod around these parts. :D

[glassdancer]

Someone once said that i'd make a good mod...

But I'm not the political type...

[Weapon X]

1 vote for Merl.

MERL for MOD !! :buttrock:

[Argonus]

How often would mods be required to be logged onto SF?

Honestly, I think Luis would make a decent mod.. he tries to stay impartial for the most part.

I'd offer myself, but having responsibilities on something I log into to relax on would somewhat tarnish Statue Forums for me.. haha.

Merl's a good choice, also.

Thanks Ryan,....that means tons.

but as I'll assume I wouldn't be able to vote for myself, I would be glad to cast a vote for Merlose.

Good luck!!!

-cheers!

[Merlose]

Thanks guys! :D

[malkii]

Merlose for King of the World...


Or at least the Northstar Corner... :)

[superdoug]

1 vote for Merl.

MERL for MOD !!

:stick: :stick: Straight folks don't get a vote in here. :tounge:

I've thought about offering my services BUT IT SEEMS TACKY TO NOMINATE YOURSELF. :confused2

[Merlose]

Merlose for King of the World...


Or at least the Northstar Corner... :)

:buttrock: :buttrock:
King of the World sounds great, but I'll settle for our little corner of the internet. Thanks Malkii

[Merlose]

Straight folks don't get a vote in here. :tounge:

I've thought about offering my services BUT IT SEEMS TACKY TO NOMINATE YOURSELF. :confused2

The Dazzler folk are honorary FON!! :D

And I'm not tacky, just impatient. :laugh:

[JDH]

If you split it between you in 12 hour shifts, that should be fine.:D

[superdoug]

The Dazzler folk are honorary FON!! :D

And I'm not tacky, just impatient. :laugh:

No, they're not. Unless they regularly smoke the pole, they can only be callled FOFON, which was established waaaaaaaaaaay back in the first thread.

GET IT RIGHT, B!TCH! :laugh:

[Jase]

I have lots of experience being a mod at another high traffic collectors site, filled with as many colorful people as this one! :)

[JDH]

No, they're not. Unless they regularly smoke the pole, they can only be callled FOFON, which was established waaaaaaaaaaay back in the first thread.

GET IT RIGHT, B!TCH! :laugh:

Banana fanna FOFONna?

[Jase]

Merl, you want to Mod on a site that you've been trying to draw people away from? :confused2

[bat_collector]

I think jase would make a great mod!

I vote for him!

[superdoug]

Guys...don't make me be an ass and limit the voting and nominations to the top 15 posters in the FON main thread. ;) Since I took on the responsibility of running the nomination process, I mean. :tounge:

[glassdancer]

Merl, you want to Mod on a site that you've been trying to draw people away from? :confused2

this has potential of getting ugly....real quick...

[Jase]

this has potential of getting ugly....real quick...

Nah, no need for it to get ugly. It was a sincere question. :)

[Jase]

Guys...don't make me be an ass and limit the voting and nominations to the top 15 posters in the FON main thread. ;) Since I took on the responsibility of running the nomination process, I mean. :tounge:

Votes should be limited to FON regulars. :thumbs2:

[bat_collector]

I think doug has a point. The mod from FON shouldn't be voted on by ROT. So I don't see how we can have people who rarely visit fon vote here.

On the other hand, who REALLY wants the responsibility of being a mod and having to take a responsible role for the group section?

This shouldn't be seen as "look, I'm a mod ***giggle giggle***."

[JDH]

this has potential of getting ugly....real quick...

Yes it does, so we're trusting you guys to sort this out without falling out over it. This should be fun, so let's keep it that way, but Bats is right, it's a responsibility. Drew points out what will be expected, and what will happen if people shirk the responsibility.

[Jase]

I think jase would make a great mod!

I vote for him!

:wink2:

Thanks Mikey. Those funds will be deposited into your account shortly! :laugh:

[malkii]

if i was on here more I would throw my hat in the ring also, but with the new job, i don't get to play as much as i used too...


I say Mike and Merl... they have been around from the begining, the often have opposing views so they could help each other if ones judgement is getting clouded...

I don't think Jesse would want it, I could be wrong, and sorry if I am Jeese... just doesn't seem like you would want the hassle of policing us...

[Jase]

How about Scott? That would force him to be on FON more often! :eplus2:

[Merlose]

YES WE CAN!!! :buttrock:

[Merlose]

Merl, you want to Mod on a site that you've been trying to draw people away from? :confused2

I haven't been drawing people away from this site, I was suggesting an alternative place to go for when the site goes down, hell I even invited you to be fair with everyone, and you don't even like me. So yes I can be impartial as well I was the person who started this group and will always be a part of it.:thumbs2:

[superdoug]

Okay, I'm done. You guys work it out, and someone can put up a poll if it needs a vote.

[Jase]

I haven't been drawing people away from this site, I was suggesting an alternative place to go for when the site goes down, hell I even invited you to be fair with everyone, and you don't even like me. So yes I can be impartial as well I was the person who started this group and will always be a part of it.:thumbs2:

So why don't you bow out of the race and be my vice mod? :laugh: ;)

Like I said, it was a sincere question. And for the record, I did appreciate the invite.

[Merlose]

So why don't you bow out of the race and be my vice mod? :laugh: ;)

Like I said, it was a sincere question. And for the record, I did appreciate the invite.

Cus that would mean you'de be like Obama when we know you'de make a much better Hilary. :laugh:

[JonoJ108]

should be whoever has the biggest


















commitment!

hm, it's nice down here in the gutter....

[Merlose]

Hey I wouldn't mind Jase and I doing it, of for that matter Doug and I. :D

[bat_collector]

how about you and me, like maklii suggested?

We've been here from the beginning and always have been.

[superdoug]

Nope. I'm not interested in being nominated on the fifth page. Thanks anyway.

If I wasn't one of the first people thought of, it's obvious people don't think the job would suit me.

[superdoug]

how about you and me, like maklii suggested?

We've been here from the beginning and always have been.

INCREDIBLY BAD IDEA.

'Nuff said.

[Jase]

how about you and me, like maklii suggested?

We've been here from the beginning and always have been.

I want my money back. :mad:

[Jase]

Serious question cause I think that we should know the answer: Are you even allowed to Mod again Mikey?

[Merlose]

how about you and me, like maklii suggested?

We've been here from the beginning and always have been.

Mike although sounds like it would be a great idea, I also think that since you've already had a chance it might be fun to let someone new try it out. :thumbs2:

[bat_collector]

I (personally) think we should choose between four people.

Icey, Malkii, Avenger, and Jesse are not always able to be on the board. Jono, I just don't see as interested.

Doug - A great choice since he is on the board often and would take the responsibility seriously.

Jase - Has mod experience, but I must bring up tends to disappear from here from time to time for weeks on end.

Merl - Been here from the beginning and is passionate about the thread.

B_C - Was a mod here before and cares about the thread as much as Merl, but was also de-modded on this site.

Anyone else I'm missing?

[glassdancer]

Nope. I'm not interested in being nominated on the fifth page. Thanks anyway.

If I wasn't one of the first people thought of, it's obvious people don't think the job would suit me.

wow.

[bat_collector]

Serious question cause I think that we should know the answer: Are you even allowed to Mod again Mikey?

I asked the mods and got a yes. But I wouldn't do it unless everybody was ok with it.

[Jase]

I (personally) think we should choose between five people.

Icey, Malkii, Avenger, and Jesse are not always able to be on the board.

Doug - A great choice since he is on the board often and would take the responsibility seriously.

Jase - Has mod experience, but I must bring up tends to disappear from here from time to time for weeks on end.

Yeah, I do have mod experience on a forum with probably just as many people as SF has. As far as disappearing, that's a luxury that members have, not mods. ;) I don't post everyday on the forum that I mod on, but you can be sure that I view it everyday and respond to problems.

[bat_collector]

Still, jase, its worth bringing up.

Merl, please dont' think being a mod is fun. A lot of times it isn't.

[nbr3bagshotrow]

Still, jase, its worth bringing up.

Merl, please dont' think being a mod is fun. A lot of times it isn't.

You can say that again.

[Jase]

Still, jase, its worth bringing up.

Merl, please dont' think being a mod is fun. A lot of times it isn't.

Well if I was a mod, I'd be here all the time ;)

And I agree, being a mod isn't exactly fun, but it is a responsibility, and requires you to be able to balance maintaining your friendships with other members and enforcing the rules, all without playing favorites. Very similar to being a manager in the workplace.

[Merlose]

Still, jase, its worth bringing up.

Merl, please dont' think being a mod is fun. A lot of times it isn't.

Awww you hurt me Mikey, I know how much responsibility (and responsibility and fun never go hand in hand) being a mod requires, luckily its only for our little section, I would never dream of attempting to be a mod across the entire forum. :thumbs2:

[JonoJ108]

golly, this DID get dramatic!

doug: i know yr comment wasn't directed at anyone in particular, but i for one wouldn't have nominated ANYONE. i wouldn't've felt like that was my place. while i agree that nom'ing oneself is philosophically tacky in the abstract, i think in this situation it was appropriate. we all have different levels of commitment & availability, experience & interest.

if it was something you want or wanted to do: go for it, i think you'd be a great mod. don't take a lack of a nomination for being undervalued here or anything.

any of the 4 of those most recently & logically named would make fine mods. Can it be passed around, like me at a party?

[Jase]

Well, is Doug sure he doesn't want to help mod this place?

And does Jen get a vote? She emailed me and asked?

[Jase]

Well, is Doug sure he doesn't want to help mod this place?

And does Jen get a vote? She emailed me and asked?

Absolutely Jen should get a vote IMO. As long as it's not for her boyfriend Merl. :tounge:

[JonoJ108]

Well, is Doug sure he doesn't want to help mod this place?

And does Jen get a vote? She emailed me and asked?

How is Jen?

Please give her my/our best, Mike. She's missed!

Did someone send her the pics of Angel from here or JW?

[Merlose]

Well, is Doug sure he doesn't want to help mod this place?

And does Jen get a vote? She emailed me and asked?

Jen and Coco should both vote. :)

[bat_collector]

lol

[superdoug]

Eh. Despite my fit of pique a page or so back, I wouldn't mind being voted in as a MOD. I think I could be fair to everyone, and not let things get out of hand. :)

[superdoug]

And yes, Jen gets a vote. She's a regular in here, after all! :) Same with David and Ryan!

[bat_collector]

I look forward to see jen at wwchicago.

Do Inky and novak get a vote too? they post here very frequently.

[Jase]

Jen and Coco should both vote. :)

Merl, we agree. Hell has frozen over. :eek:

[JonoJ108]

Eh. Despite my fit of pique a page or so back, I wouldn't mind being voted in as a MOD. I think I could be fair to everyone, and not let things get out of hand. :)

totally, but you'd have to hold your temper.:thumbs2:

Where is this party and how do I get invited? :confused:

[Jase]

Don't forget Teague!

[superdoug]

I look forward to see jen at wwchicago.

Do Inky and novak get a vote too? they post here very frequently.

Again, I would say yes. It's those sneaky off-threaders that come in and dump a vote and go that I'm saying shouldn't get to nominate anyone, to be fair. ;)

[Merlose]

Merl, we agree. Hell has frozen over. :eek:

And here I was thinking the Air Conditioning was just on at full blast. :confused2

[JonoJ108]

what about all of my splinter personalities? just the homo ones?

[JonoJ108]

nope. he was chompin ice cubes.

[Merlose]

And Black Cat should get a say too!!

It was bound to happen eventually! :thumbs2:

You know, it just dawned on me. TPTB aren't really going to let us select our own Section Mod. They were just bored today and wanted to watch all of us in a frenzy! It's like cutting somebody and throwing them in a pool of great white sharks!

[Black Cat]

Merl is my man thank you very much

[Jase]

You are a posting machine, Jono!

[bat_collector]

Ok, Cougar out. That leaves 14.

[Black Cat]

And Black Cat should get a say too!!

So is there going to be a poll?

[Jase]

Merl is my man thank you very much

My condolences. :tounge:

[JonoJ108]

You are a posting machine, Jono!

i can think several other kinds machine i'd rather be (automatic towel dispenser for a college swim team, for instance), but also many machines i'm glad i'm not (automatic towel retriever for college swim team, or a breathalyzer).

[Black Cat]

But....she's a woman!



















J/K Black Cat....you expected that very answer from me, so I gave it to you!

I did, I expect that as all your answers actually lol

[superdoug]

Wow. I didn't know that about CT. Too bad. :(

I say we replace him with Teague, since he's our cubby little bear! :thumbs2: :thumbs2:

[bat_collector]

you know, its more fun as a poster than a mod. I'd rather see merl, doug, and/or jase take a stab at it.

got way too much on my plate as it is

[Jase]

I did, I expect that as all your answers actually lol

:wink2: You know I luv ya!

[superdoug]

You are a posting machine, Jono!

That's not the kind of machine I would describe him as. ;)

[bat_collector]

BTW, teague says hi to all fon. He's been very busy lately.

[Black Cat]

so Jen wants to just vote or be a mod?

[DC_Universe_Grl]

As An outsider looking in I think that Doug would be a good choice!

[Jase]

I've noticed that I don't crave pecan pie nearly as much when Teague isn't around.

[superdoug]

I've noticed that I don't crave pecan pie nearly as much when Teague isn't around.

Dougy would be a great choice but I don't think he wants it

[DC_Universe_Grl]

Dougy would be a great choice but I don't think he wants it
plus I just saw you were leaving the voting to the top posters! duh that is a good idea!

[bat_collector]

so Jen wants to just vote or be a mod?

no she just wants to vote, lol

[JonoJ108]

no she just wants to vote, lol

Mike (Bat_Collector) and Doug (Superdoug) get my vote for FON mods. :thumbs2:

[bat_collector]

why not just make a poll now for doug, jase, and merl? top two win?
Or do we want to make sure icey and jesse don't want to run for this?

[superdoug]

Dougy would be a great choice but I don't think he wants it

No, I would do it. I love this place, after all, and I think I could be fair to everyone and keep things fun around here. :)

Thanks for the kind words, ladies!

[Jesse321]

Or do we want to make sure icey and jesse don't want to run for this?
Thanks but I pass, I'm already a Mod at GK's and that keeps me pretty busy. :)

[JonoJ108]

Actually, I'd want to help mod this place too.

I don't have a place to mod, lol, unlike jase and jesse.

[Jase]

Actually, I'd want to help mod this place too.

I don't have a place to mod, lol, unlike jase and jesse.

I dunno...seems sort of odd to remove you and then put you back in. I mean, what's the point of removing you to begin with? :confused:

Any of you can "mod" for me ANYtime. i'll bring the viagra & plaster of paris....

I'm sure he's already nominated, but I'll 23rd the nomination (or whatever number we're at)!

I'm curious where you're going with this....

I am staff on my MUSH game, but other than that, I am not staffing any boards. It seems like a big job. A small forum like this, though, wouldn't be any kind of trouble to maintain.

Bring enough for you, too! I'll provide the silicate rubber! :)

[JonoJ108]

Bring enough for you, too! I'll provide the silicate rubber! :)

ok, what the hell is that?

[superdoug]

ok, what the hell is that?

It's the material they make certain...aides from. ;)

[Jase]

BACK ON TOPIC!!! :laugh:

[JonoJ108]

It's the material they make certain...aides from. ;)

right, right.

um, where were we? Mods! yes, Mods!

[Merlose]

Actually, I'd want to help mod this place too.

I don't have a place to mod, lol, unlike jase and jesse.

Didn't you already bow out? :confused:

We need a mod who is decisive and takes action! Decisive and Determined. A vote for Merlose is a vote for the American way!!! :thumbs2:

[JonoJ108]

a vote for the institutionalized exploitation of minorities and the poor?

[superdoug]

a vote for the institutionalized exploitation of minorities and the poor?

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[Merlose]

a vote for the institutionalized exploitation of minorities and the poor?

:stick: No no no, its a vote Apple Pie, Rock and Roll, Baseball and Capitalism.

[Jase]

Didn't you already bow out? :confused:

[bat_collector]

god, merl, your goign way over the top in self-promotion

[JonoJ108]

:stick: No no no, its a vote Apple Pie, Rock and Roll, Baseball and Capitalism.

can i earmark my vote exclusively for the pie?

[TNovak]

You guys understand that being a mod is extra work at a thankless job for no pay right? You get that part don't you? :confused2

[Ink]

I look forward to see jen at wwchicago.

Do Inky and novak get a vote too? they post here very frequently.

I'd do it. as much as I'm on here and besides I'm always home around noon :laugh:

[bat_collector]

you want to be mod inky?

[superdoug]

Agh. One more into the mix.

So, what? The choices are Me, Merl, Jase, Inky, and Mike? Did I get that right?

[Jase]

I'd do it. as much as I'm on here and besides I'm always home around noon :laugh:

Afternoon delight and moderating at the same time? YOU are talented! :thumbs2:

[TNovak]

Jen and Coco should both vote. :)


Do Inky and novak get a vote too? they post here very frequently.

I personally wouldn't want to vote, I like most of you guys :peoples:

I mean all you guys and think most of you would be good mods. Maybe there should be an elimination game to determine who gets to be the mods in each thread :confused2

[Jase]

Agh. One more into the mix.

So, what? The choices are Me, Merl, Jase, Inky, and Mike? Did I get that right?

I thought Mikey said he was too busy to mod? :confused:

[Merlose]

can i earmark my vote exclusively for the pie?

Sure. :D

[superdoug]

Okay. I need a definitive list of people who are interested in being Mods, and who have the time/energy/patience for said job.

Currently, the list stands at:

superdoug
Merlose
Jase
Ink

bat_collector may or may not be too busy to consider it. If I don't hear from anyone by, say...10PM EST, I'll put up those names for mass voting in a poll. :D

[Merlose]

I thought Mikey said he was too busy to mod? :confused:

YEah I'm pretty certain that's what he said too. Mike you can't decide you can't suddenly say you have time after saying you didn't have time. We need a mod who has time and is willing to admit he had time!!! :buttrock:

[JonoJ108]

:bawling:

this is getting stressful!

:bawling:

[JDH]

Hilary Clinton says she has the time.:D

[JonoJ108]

and she'd bring the Latin vote--Mike!

Hey....you're not very versatile if you're always on top. And who knew that Ink was a bottom? :confused2

[JonoJ108]

maybe he's ambidextrous?

[superdoug]

Hey....you're not very versatile if you're always on top. :confused2

This has been a fun, entertaining thread today. I think we've done a good job of keeping it civil, which is quite a task for a group like us!

take that back, you *****!

[Merlose]

puuuuuuuuuuuhllllleze I could have told you that! :confused2

[Merlose]

and she'd bring the Latin vote--Mike!

He'd be splitting that vote. :thumbs2:

[bat_collector]

YEah I'm pretty certain that's what he said too. Mike you can't decide you can't suddenly say you have time after saying you didn't have time. We need a mod who has time and is willing to admit he had time!!! :buttrock:

You're right. I'm too busy dating a great, sexy guy to mod this.:thumbs2:

You guys fight over it.

[Merlose]

You're right. I'm too busy dating a great, sexy guy to mod this.:thumbs2:

You guys fight over it.

Is this the same she-male Jase told us you woke up next to the other day? :confused: :laugh:

[JonoJ108]

You're right. I'm too busy dating a great, sexy guy to mod this.:thumbs2:

You guys fight over it.

that's the best justification i've heard all day--go take a dip in yr great, sexy guy, Mike! the rest of us'll moderate or beat off, variously.

[JonoJ108]

He'd be splitting that vote. :thumbs2:

(didn't wish to assume)

[Merlose]

(didn't wish to assume)

you can assume me all you want! :wink2: :wink2:

[pablocruze]

Pablocruze, yes, the same Pablocruze you all know and love IS available to moderate your section. :)

Now accepting bids on the open forum!!! :thumbs2:

Bid early, bid often and most of all...bid high!!!! :buttrock:

[bat_collector]

Hilary Clinton says she has the time.:D

LOL

what a consoloation prize

[bat_collector]

Is this the same she-male Jase told us you woke up next to the other day? :confused: :laugh:

lol

you are so gullible

[bat_collector]

lol. I knew I likd you for a reason

[Merlose]

I run a clean campaign which I've funded by myself, no dirty bribes needed!!!

A vote for Merlose is a vote for HOPE!!!!

I'm also not trying to run for any other group mod like ROT!!!

A vote for Merlose is a vote for dedication!!!

[bat_collector]

must be a slow day at the job for merl

[Merlose]

Yeah Mondays always are. :D

[Merlose]

lol. I knew I likd you for a reason

Obviously no sense of humor. We need a Mod who can roll with the punches and know how to laugh!

A vote for Merlose is a vote for Good Humor!!

[Rogue]

[JonoJ108]

Why don't you give me something else to get hooked on? :D

I started with buying only a couple and now I have over 500. Don't do it. LOL!!! :laugh:

[JonoJ108]

:eek:

500??? NO WAY, Merl--you'd never be able to buy me a ring!!! :bawling:

[Merlose]

I started with buying only a couple and now I have over 500. Don't do it. LOL!!! :laugh:

Yeah that's how this statue mess started!! I had stopped reading the comics for years and then I saw the Angel mini bust and I always loved Angel so much that I bought it. Then I bought the Phoenix FS at the same store cus I had always loved the Dark Phoenix story plot. I saved up an entire months pay check at my first crappy job out of High School to get her too. I only had those two for the longest time and then I bought the Genis-Vell and Iceman mini busts and found myself not being able to stop. And here I am in statue AA.

[Merlose]

:eek:

500??? NO WAY, Merl--you'd never be able to buy me a ring!!! :bawling:

Something tells me you don't need a ring. :thumbs2:
Oh wait that's not the type of ring you're talking about.

[Jase]

Don't you have to be gay to be a FON section mod? Welcome to the "family" Ink! :laugh:

[Merlose]

Don't you have to be gay to be a FON section mod? Welcome to the "family" Ink! :laugh:

You'll have to initiate him Jase, Mike will be jealous of course but he'll be too busy being a Mod in ROT.

Mikey has time to Mod over at ROT? It's all so confusing! :confused:

[IceWing]

Okay, there are most posts on this thread than there were on the main thread today. It's gonna take me awhile to get caught up tonight.

A Vote for Merlose is a vote to not forget about Brian!!! :buttrock:


hehee sorry Jase had to get one last one in! :)

[IceWing]

Nope. I'm not interested in being nominated on the fifth page. Thanks anyway.

If I wasn't one of the first people thought of, it's obvious people don't think the job would suit me.

Actually, I just started reading this, and you were my first choice. So, if I was here you would have been on page 1.

I would formally like to nominate Doug, if no one else has (I still have like 15 pages of this to read, so I hope I'm not steping in something here).

Aw, thanks, Brian! :) I had a change of heart after that, and officially threw my hat in the ring. I've been quasi-modding this thread today to practice. :laugh:

Seriously, though, I'll be putting up a poll (if I can...I've never tried before) later tonight with the names of the nominees for voting.

[TNovak]

As I said before I don't want to vote, but I was wondering (because I'm just nosey as hell) who can vote? Anyone on the Forum or FON only? Or FON & CP, Jen, & Ink?

[superdoug]

I'd say if your name appears on the top posters for the main thread's list, you get a say in who mods here. That seems the fairest way to determine it.

[malkii]

and just to set the record straight (if you can in this thread)... i didn't mean any offense to you Doug when I said Merl, and Mike for the mods... You would make a great Mod... I was just suggesting them because they have been here from day one... I hope you didn't take it as me not wanting you to be one of the Mods... i didn't mean it that way...

Love Ya Doug...

[Jase]

love you too Jase...

goodness everytime I say anything I offend someone anymore...

Just playing with ya sweetie!

Lets just make everyone a Mod...






How crazy would that get around here...

[IceWing]

A Vote for Merlose is a vote to not forget about Brian!!! :buttrock:


hehee sorry Jase had to get one last one in! :)

Aw, thanks Merl.

When I'm gone for two weeks next month no one will know my name when I come back.

[superdoug]

Okay. Just to reiterate. The current nominees are myself, Merlose, Ink, and Jase. Are there any others that I'm missing?

[JonoJ108]

Boy, am I feeling the love :bawling:

Jase, do you actually WANT to be a mod, or are you just willing, "sure, why not"-style?

it seems that Doug & Merl both really want to be mods, since Merl nom'd himself & Doug's . . . already started (:laugh:). I'm not suggesting anyone who wants to be the mod withdraw or anything, but there seems to be a group who're really invested and another who are just more or less fine w/ the idea.

i'm just concerned because we're so small a group that stuff like this can get personal really fast & inflame the group's, ah, NATURAL TENDENCY TOWARD DRAMA. Just trying to AVOID hurt homos here, y'all. :thumbs2:

[IceWing]

Boy, I feel the love. I was brought up like once, to say no too. Thanks guys ;)

Not that I have a degree/license in enforcing rules (laws) or anything...

Just playin'. I'm not on here enough during the day, since I can't get on non-work related internet sites.

[IceWing]

Jono, were you at all intested?

You're here enough, I think you deserve a spot in the vote.

[JonoJ108]

Jono, were you at all intested?

You're here enough, I think you deserve a spot in the vote.

that's kind, and according to my post count, A) i am here a lot, and B) i may get fired soon.

that's cool, though: i have no real desire to be mod. frankly i don't understand that much of this sort of forum & am happy to use it to the degree i do now.

thanks all the same! uneasy rests the head that wears the crown & mama needs her beauty sleep!

[IceWing]

Alright Doug! I'd almost 10 EST. Time to post your poll.

[JonoJ108]

Alright Doug! I'd almost 10 EST. Time to post your poll.

he's been doing that for HOURS by now.






zing!

[superdoug]

Feh! I apparently lack the ability to make a poll. :(

[Avenger]

I (personally) think we should choose between four people.

Icey, Malkii, Avenger, and Jesse are not always able to be on the board. Jono, I just don't see as interested.

Doug - A great choice since he is on the board often and would take the responsibility seriously.

Jase - Has mod experience, but I must bring up tends to disappear from here from time to time for weeks on end.

Merl - Been here from the beginning and is passionate about the thread.

B_C - Was a mod here before and cares about the thread as much as Merl, but was also de-modded on this site.

Anyone else I'm missing?

Yeah I only have 20,000 posts because I can't be on here much :rolleyes2

[Jase]

Jase, do you actually WANT to be a mod, or are you just willing, "sure, why not"-style?

Yes, I want to do it! I'm just not shoving it down everyone's throats or posting campaign messages every 10 seconds ;)

[Jase]

Yeah I only have 20,000 posts because I can't be on here much :rolleyes2

I nominated you honey! :thumbs2:

[Avenger]

I nominated you honey! :thumbs2:

Thanks. I believe you have a point that you already mod a high traffic site and would do well here :thumbs2:

[IceWing]

Feh! I apparently lack the ability to make a poll. :(

I sent Boondocksaint a PM and asked him to do so, since he's the current mod that's around.

[Merlose]

Yes, I want to do it! I'm just not shoving it down everyone's throats or posting campaign messages every 10 seconds ;)

Funny I thought you were good at shoving your :eek: in peoples throats every ten seconds. :laugh:
