FFIX PC petion http://qhimm.3dstream.net/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000048.html

Here's some background information for all of you to get started.
The reason I only covered GC was because we are after all choosing a GC Mod.  :)
Remember, the number of posts or threads started are not important.
It's the amount of meaningful posts or threads started.

Ok, here are the rules for voting.
1. Each person shall be allowed 2 votes.
2. You may vote for any of the nominees above.
3. Yes, you may vote for yourself.
4. To vote, DO NOT post here!
5. E-mail me at [email protected] with your vote(s).
6. This is to protect any nominees from getting upset for getting only 1 vote or anything similar.
7. If you decide to only vote for one nominee, it doesn't mean that nominee gets 2 of your votes.
8. This thread may be used for campaigning if you guys want to.  :) Do not open any other threads concerning this topic. Anyone who opens another topic about this will have his / her votes disqualified.
9. Direct any questions to this thread, ok?
10. Sending me money will not effect the results, though I don't mind the money  :D
11. I will be going over the votes with Qhimm and maybe the rest of the mods?
12. Votes made cannot be changed. So think before you send me your vote.
13. The voting session shall be closed on Friday so you have plenty of time  :)
14. Remember to mail me your username on the boards and most importantly tell me who you're voting for.
15. Also remember to include your e-mail address so I can reply to you to confirm your vote. This is so that no one misuses your username for voting.
16. Lastly, everyone is qualified for this voting session including all mods (that means me too!) and Qhimm.

So, start voting now!
Let the fun begin!

Let the campaigning begin...  :D

Hey, thanks for everyone who nominated me. I don't post much in General but I usually read all the posts. Oh, I'd usually have plenty of time to mod the forum, now (exams) is a once-a-year event, one of the few times when I post less then usual  :)

So, in the words of my Computing Student representative - "Vote for me! I'll do everything the others would, plus I'll campaign for free chocolate!".

Post by: eerrrr on 2001-06-04 21:00:00
Well, let's see....
"Vote for eerrrr! I'll be the coolest mod around and I'll visit often and help as much as I can. I'll also start writing like this so I'll have capitals and things in all the right places. I'll also make sure all (real) trolls are handled with correctly, and I believe Joey and MMiller8 aren't trolls. Come on guys!....pretty please?"

Post by: M0T on 2001-06-04 21:53:00
so who do you think are trolls?
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: MMiller8 on 2001-06-05 01:24:00
People thought I was a troll???   :wink:
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: M0T on 2001-06-05 01:28:00
Yeah, we did.
It was because you started up so many new topics that had the questions answered in the other topics. BTW I got a french oral test tomorrow, anyone got any pointers?
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: Sir Canealot on 2001-06-05 02:00:00
Bleh! Vote for me!
Can any one say Moggraider?  :D

Anyway I visit the board like 3 times a day so I will be there to crack down on any silly Joey posts or trolls.

hey, this looks fun :P
ok, heres my background (naa i dont wanna bore u).
im VERY PC hardware profficent (thats hardware NOT software).
i LIKE to help and answer questions (damn thats how i registerd, my 1st ever post was about converting psx midi to PC midi).
i am TRYING to make a (cough) website.

your welcome to vote for me, but i DO get abit along with JOEY ( i dont bash him like other members do, - i did a few times tho) but its very funny to read his posts.

im always reading the general chat forum but theres usually little need for me to voice an opinion, unless someone has a question or id like to share news (like bleemcast, epsxe news etc).

i used to post often in the tech and game tweaking but the new events are 3d geometrey based and im a sucker for that stuff

Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: M0T on 2001-06-05 03:49:00
Someone else(like me)that knows a lot about hardware and not software. You also dont understand what they talk about in there, cool. I get the gist of what they say though.
And everyones a Joey basher at heart :wink:
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: MMiller8 on 2001-06-05 16:48:00
Huh.  I thought you all knew that I was a troll.  I didn't think it was still up for debate.  Anyway,  to set the record straight, I am a human.  100% pure homo-sapien  :D.  I apologize for all indications toward the contrary.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: Joey on 2001-06-05 10:49:00
Oh. Maybe we should make a record for me, the board's most hated person.

Post by: Caddberry on 2001-06-05 11:11:00
MMiller am i going stupid here or did you just say we all knew you were a troll like you are? .. oh and i am nominating me  :) No seriously i dont want to be a mod.... And i am joey biased  :( Sorry ... Its like in that movie.. DONT VOTE FOR ME!!! LoL
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: M0T on 2001-06-05 13:39:00
Joey we don't hate you, we find your antics annoying. And Noone can be unbiased about Joey.
MMiller8: Are you saying are a troll, sounds like it.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: ficedula on 2001-06-05 17:31:00
I thought MMiller8 was saying that although we might all think he's a troll, he isn't.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: M0T on 2001-06-05 18:45:00
I think that was what he was trying to say but if you look at the first line it suggest that we know he is a troll. which would imply he is.
but i dont think hes trollin' anymore
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: eerrrr on 2001-06-05 21:14:00
I think MMiller8 made a mistake when he first came here becuase he didnt know the rules. Maybe he was used to a busy board where you had to post a lot to get people's attention on a topic. I think Joey acts pretty normal like us, but if we see a mistake in something he does a lot of us make fun of him for it. But I don't think they're trolls, otherwise they wouldn't post replies about actual topics and stuff.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: M0T on 2001-06-05 21:57:00
Yeah Joey is just like the rest of us but the reason we bash him is because he is to gullible, he believes everything he hears.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: Caddberry on 2001-06-06 10:06:00
MMiller i didnt mean any offense to you i just thought you said you were a troll... and I dont hate anyone even joey .. i just hate the fact he is naive and idiotic and so stupid that he would lie and post crap to try to get a decent rep... that is just plain ignorance to me...
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: The SaiNt on 2001-06-06 15:27:00

can i remind u all im no troll
nad i DO check this place more then 2 times a day
and i can translate JOEYs posts using my patented Joey Translater-TRoN (TM)  :D
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: eerrrr on 2001-06-06 20:34:00
I don't remember anyone calling you a troll Skillster, if they did they are definately wrong. Recently I've been checking this place twice a day too and on non-school days maybe three. It's begun getting busy again, but I think it's because I havent had any homework recently. Anyway, why aren't you lot voting?
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: Srethron Askvelhtnod on 2001-06-06 22:30:00
Well, I hate to be a spoiler but...
I do have to say that it's very nice to be nominated. I'm flattered, to tell the truth. I have no idea how it happened, but thanks to whomever nominated me.
However, I don't think I'm the best choice for modding General Chat; my haunts are more the Tech-Related and FF7 Remake forums.
I do come here now and then, but I usually don't have as much to say.
Still, let me offer a suggestion about this. Can't we just expand the domain of one (or all) of the 3 "newest" moderators (Jari Huttunen, dagsverre, and The SaiNt) to include the General Discussion as well? They've already proven themselves, and all know what's ok and what's not. That just makes a bit more sense to me. Although, I'm not sure if any of them *want* to be...
Anyway, I'm not trying to shirk duty (I *am* a mod at several other forums I go to), and if by some miracle I get elected, I'll do my best to responsibly carry out my job. But again, why me? IMHO, the other candidates are much better suited for the position, and I encourage people to consider very carefully if, for some strange reason, you're actually planning on voting for me.
I know who I'm voting for.

Me?
The mod of GC?
Nah, I'd rather not.
Co-Mod maybe, but not mod.
The remake forum is fine with me   :)
Besides, there are many other qualified mod's.

Update:-

I have recieved the votes from the following people.

Jari Huttunen
MOT

When I said: "I didn't think it was still up for debate", I meant that I thought you guys were sure I was a troll, not that I was.  When I said that I was 100% pure homo-sapien, (which, by the way, is the species name for humans)  I thought I made it clear that I wasn't a troll.  Anyway, just an FYI!    :P

Ok, I guess i'll vote now.  I would've sooner, but it is hard to see with the lights out.  I turn out the lights, then I call out the names of the nominees.  Whichever I raise my hand for, I vote for*.  That way its confidential.
It turns out I voted for 'eerrrr'.

BTW:  I didn't vote for Bush!  Don't blame me for this!  I don't even HAVE a left wing!

*I'm just kidding.  Really.

Wow, thanks MMiller8! So the vote's are closing on Friday, then Qhimm and The SaiNt will discuss it. It's very exciting, but my bets are on The Skillster.
Title: The General Chat Mod Election has begun!!!
Post by: The SaiNt on 2001-06-08 05:58:00
To be fair to all timezones, the votes will be closed earliest at 12.00 am Saturday for yhr slowest time zone  :)

I'll most likely be later. You can't expect me to wake up at odd hours to post  :D

Post by: The SaiNt on 2001-06-08 17:06:00
Sorry, for replying a little late.
I just got back from college.
I was pretty tired & I'm suffering from a terrible headache. I've been pretty sick lately that's why I've been slow in my replies.
No worries though, I was working on some FF7 stuff the other day. I might be releasing something of interest soon  :)

Lastly, here's the list of people whom I recieved the votes from today.

Jedimark
