Man wtf?

Those are just forums every mod has powers in. They're just deciding on where to place D.Turtle and I.

Did they tell you this or are you guessing?

Either way it seems like kind of a sloppy way to assign mods.

Ah hah, it's in OT. Because nobody reads Announcements. Except Announcements says nothing about it anyway, so even if we did it wouldn't be too useful.

This opinion then kinda remains unchanged. They said Lagmonster is retiring but apparently haven't taken off his supermod powers yet.

I grant that maybe they don't consider it important, but they did take the time to give the green to Stofsk and D. Turtle before deciding on their forums, so... Maybe the Staff just works in mysterious ways...

hmm well i was hoping that the archangel gabriel would appear in a pillar of fire to herald my appointment

but i guess you can't have everything

why does this bug you anyway

maybe the hilariously inept nature of it

i'm sure once the afterglow wears off you'll get your perspective back

Stark sums it up well.

I'm not really bothered by it, so much as just left with a feeling of "WTF were they thinking?" and trying, vainly, to append some reason for the really, really odd way they went about this.

Well okay, I am sorta bothered at D. Turtle being a mod because I think he's a bit of an ass and Thanas-lite less the redeeming qualities (granted this is just out of what I've seen of him in N&P, but isn't N&P the "serious debate" forum anyway?). That particular promotion just seems out of left field. Was there some secret application process I missed?

can you imagine any secret plan that would reduce the clown-car factor of the rubber stamping

I'm really trying to care. Yet I don't.

hahah alyeska apparently thinks it's a serious thing to say "YOU HAVE TO BACK UP YOUR CLAIM THAT A NEW COPYRIGHT LAW WON'T BE THE END OF THE WORLD"

I figure it means the US would be a lot more like China considering how indiscriminate some companies are with their takedown notices.

Throw not being able to prove a negative in that fuckers face and do the turnaround making him prove that it is.

be aware that most negatives can be proven

though that'd prolly work in this case

thanas locked the original thread though (kinda proving my point about there being a shitload of sopa threads; they never had to do that about the terrible tyranny topics) so unless alyeska continues it in the new thread i'll let it drop

I don't think Painrack-kun understands anything that isn't written in a Battletech book

So everything important, plus HoS and Announcements.

Good work infiltrating the command structure, Stofsk.

PS Since when is there a limit on # of quotes in can embed in a post over here? I am very upset, ADR.
