I thought it might be interesting for us to sort of check in here and say how things are going.

I am happy to report that all is well with SotD--pretty much troll-free these days. I can't even remember the last time I had to close a thread, and only moved one in the last week--and would have let that one stand had it not been plaigerized. There are a few new and impressive posters, and AF corrects the odd glitch when I'm offline, and Slave is diligent as usual in correcting my rare error of fact. (Got the Hz numbers wrong when posting about brain wave states the other day.)

Yeah it's going really well!
Of course I miss modding GPP and I feel awfull that it was kinda my fault that Tortaton and Rabb dont get to be mods there anymore, they were an asset to the forum.

I've found that OI is one of the friendliest most flame-free forums of totse,when the flames of some other forums get too nasty OI is just really welcoming. Just dont mock someones taste in beer.

S&A,well there's obviously going to be a few people who hate me and try to make my time there unpleasant. But the nice people make up for the twats totally.

Oddly enough, I only ever got hate mail whilst modding SG, perhaps it's just a trend to hate the mods there or something. Now I dont mod there any more These days I only ever get "hey I like you!" and "can you give me some advice please?" "am I banned?" "can you have this poster banned?" "thks 4 the advice? are you single?" type emails, dotted by only the very occaisional
"OMG I HATE U FUCKING DIE POWERTRIPPING MOD BITCH CUNT HORE" type emails.

It's great. :)


Good thread.

STS is fine. Only one or two troll threads within the past month.

Yoyo, I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't your fault, XiP did what he felt he had to do, I still support that decision...On that note I know it looks like I'm nitpicking, but XiP, could you look at this:

It's just about died now, but I'm just wondering if you noticed it or not.

That's exactly the sort of thread that put me off GPP.
Just..all these petulant little shits getting nasty about a fucking console. It's daft and just lame.

"OMG HOW DARE YOU HATE A GAME/CONSOLE/COMPANY I DONT! "


Just..fuck you, GPP. Fuck you.

My forums are doing fine. MMM is growing a bit and becoming less childish. T&T is the same. Hello World is flourishing. Cell Mods is still useless.

BLTC is going smooth as always. And considering it's the most active forum, it is amazingly easy to moderate. Knock on wood....

Today there was an issue with two people posting sources, but for the most part, it's been quiet.

I would like to corroborate this fact. Guess all those subliminal death-threats we sent worked on the trolls, Arms ;)

Conspiracy has experienced calm waters also. I'm sure SoTB would agree.

(Anyone else noticed that -SpectraL isn't as belligerent in those two forums as he used to be? What gives?)

MGCBTSOOYG has a current issue that was brought to the table by mr. ketch, but I don't think the discussion is over yet, so I'm holding out hope on a conflict-free resolution.


Great thread idea, Arms!

S&A is still firmly in the hands of us Brits (Psycho, Yoyo and moi). The Last Bastion against the Ohio-mafia. So if YOU want to live free and spell 'favour' correctly, call autumn autumn and not 'fall' and live in a flat not an apartment then hop onto the last Skateboard of Freedom and join us there.

Okies,seriously things are pretty good, due in no small part to yoyo who has become a major asset and who was described today as the Forum Mother!

Spam is within acceptable limits and I haven't had to hand out many infractions the last few weeks.

The last few weeks I've taken a bit of a back seat in MyGod, partly due to time constraints (my wife's illness) and partly because I wanted to give Angryfemme some space. She's doing a great job and if LC doesn't come back then Angryfemme will keep the forum on track.

All the best to your wife, ketch.

Same goes for yours too, Arms.

Life is good. When it stops being good, it starts being great.

Forums are forums are forums. They have posts and abound with threads.

I'm looking forward to Friday for Friday-like purposes, but never porpoises.

Moving Pictures is pretty much always the same. The only thing I could complain about are all of those damned simpsons/family guy/futurama quote threads, but that's not really a problem so much as a personal annoyance. :D

HB is.... Ummm.... HB.

All is well in the land of the crazies. :)

Another day, another "what song is this thread".

All good here.

I'm glad everything is going well for everyone. :)

Slight downside, I still get a few "when is sambob being remodded in OI? It doesent feel the same without him" emails. :/
Losing him then Napoleon from OI damaged it a fair amount, it will take awhile to bring traffic back up, I think.

It's not as though he can't keep posting...

Sambob is none of my buisness, I was more refering to Napolean_complex and how he threw it in due to not having the time to post so much. He's missed.
It'd be cool if you posted there some, you allways put a breath of fresh air into a forum.

Life here is relatively quiet here, what with strict supervision that infracts your newest member

before they ever post.

Indeed I do.

I think strong and intelligent female mods must intimidate them into good behaviour. :)

(Anyone else noticed that -SpectraL isn't as belligerent in those two forums as he used to be? What gives?)

Yes. I noticed it after "Demonstrate your abilities Mk II". Although a 3 months on the front page, 800+ post long, tag team effort flame would probably knock the sh*t out of me too.

PD also split during that time, consequently the SotD and Conspiracy crowds no longer had to rub shoulders. The allergic reaction they induced in each other came to cease once they were parted. Also several of the old prolific protagonists no longer post (Nepthys Ra, ate)... or have become mods and must now try to behave themselves.

I believe Spectral's attitude reflects those changes.

Well being in his present state I'd have to say otherwise.

I'd assume so, although typing with one's tongue would seem rather taxing.

That's a damn shame, too, as much as I disagree with Nepthys Ra on some things, he's an interesting poster.

As was ate, but in a different, more "what the fuck is he talking about?" kind of way.

But his mouth is still in working order?

And his ability to still be able to bicker with TrouserSnake. It's amazing.

It appears he might be nursing a knife wound to the back as well.

Well arent you the judgemental prick lately?


If it makes me a backstabber to say I'm frankly tired of those two constantly arguing and bitching at each other, well damn, pass me the knife.

News of the world and Travelers Travails are are both low traffic forums, but they get their fair share of posts a day. Every now and then some dumbass posts a topic in an attempt to be funny, but I swiftly take care of that and all is well :). Never had any real troubles with either of them.

Judgemental; hardly. Prick; I have my moments.

We don't??! WHERE is Jive Talka and what have you done with him?!

The usual I guess. Pretty quiet. I could do with something else, really. GP doesn't really get spammed anymore, since PH left. But yeah, all is sound.

Backyard Ballistics is pretty calm, no criminal activity atm
SG is a bit chaotic, redirecting a couple of threads to appropriate forums every day, a lot to HB :p, buuut's calm :)

If you're bored I could always start causing trouble in there as a professional favour. ;)

a lot to HB

Hey. Don't do that.

That's a damn shame, too, as much as I disagree with Nepthys Ra on some things, he's an interesting poster.

With all due respect, I must disagree. I ws the target of many of his flames and ad hominem insults, and he was, IMHO, like Slave's evil twin, only with a much lower IQ and a nasty attitude.

Slave's evil twin

And I always thought Slave was evil... ;)

Ra tossed in a worthwhile thing to Printed Matter every so often.

Whoever it was, they contributed worthwhile things to totse.

Hey. Don't do that.

haha.

GPP runs itself. Of course, there will still be the look out for things there that involve piracy or other illegal things. It'd be good to have someone to help me out, but I still cant find a decent mod there.
I'm tempted (but not quite willing) to make some kind of a contest, requesting the users to thoroughly convince me that they would be a fantastic addition to the GPP team. The most convincing emails or whatever that I recieve makes me consider them, maybe.
Then probably make a poll out of that bunch.

You know, there are a few people I have in mind still, but for some reason, something keeps me from choosing them.

Speaking of piracy, while you're here Xip you might one to check this out:

News of the World is just fine, thanks...

Though The Great Outdoors is proving to be a bit of a ghost town, it's going pretty well.... though I think the forum lacks any true identity.

XiP, in regards to GPP I'm obviously still more than interested, and for example, if we were to vote for someone (not ourselves), then I'll place my vote with Toraton.

Either way, keep me in the know on what's happening please (presuming I'm on your proverbial shortlist).
