Ok, this was simply so funny that I had to answer. Sorry about that, feel free to ignore me.
I think I'll do just that, then.
Oh, and my 2 cents on the moderating situation: Don't mod anyone who asks for the job. They usually end up being sh*t (as i've observed over the last eight years of watching various interwebs forums =P)
Quite perceptive of you.
Seriously, some of you people need a reality check before "applying" for the moderator job. There is a certain group of people I might consider as moderators. There is also a (larger) group of people that want to be moderators. Here's the mathematical kick for you: only the
intersection of those two sets will ever become moderators. Just because the average IQ of this place is dropping by the minute (though I suspect it's a global trend) doesn't mean I'll let any idiot speak for me. Apply only if you know exactly the sort of thing I'd disagree with, but you've never done yourself. You're not going to wield any form of authority as a moderator if you're
being moderated. Hey, why not let
Rubicant be a moderator?
Besides which, My oil is gay intro was just because I was young and naive back then
You've been registered less than two months!! Speaking of which, I've now removed a total of twelve fake accounts registered by members of your family, last one a duplicate of "Killing Edge". You're looking at an IP range ban, not a moderator title. You're essentially insulting our intelligence by even hinting otherwise, sarcastic or not.
For the record, I'd never, ever entrust as much as a trashbin to someone who hasn't even seen what the forums used to be. How the hell do you expect to be able to uphold ideals if you think the last year is how the forums are supposed to be? Sure you could read a few old topics, but most of the signature topics are long sinced purged, and when you
do find a good topic, most likely you're just sitting and thinking "gee, I wish I could talk like that". I've said it before and I'll say it again, if you don't have any purpose to post other than "it's fun", "it's a friend", "I've got nothing better to do", etc., then keep your fingers off your keyboard or I'll physically come over there and shove it up you.
You'd have to admit, everything is segregated for the most part (with a few game tweaking/tech crossovers, and unrelated/general crossovers, just topics that should be in the other).
Segregated, except for the small fact that I was looking through the
first page of the General forum yesterday, and had to move at least
fifteen topics to Game tweaking. Thank god at least Tech-related is more closely controlled, or it would be completely worthless as any kind of repository of knowledge. I could never run a wiki-type thing here, because for some reason a majority of the members are unable to separate fact and opinion, and lack any form of judgment on what to post, where to post it, when to post it and why to post it. Put simply, the memberlist is becoming more and more representative of the entire internet population. People who want help from the know-hows here but don't even spend the few seconds it takes to read the words "tech support" under the Game tweaking forum link to get the damn request in the right forum shouldn't get help, or even be allowed on the internet. In fact, I could probably filter 90% of the new members out by making the registration page look like this:

Much easier than banning, and less sub-intelligent insults.
