    Gather round, and listen to the tale I have to tell.

    Back in 2001, someone by the name of Dmonik started a thread in the Site Feedback section asking (due to the lack of Calis' presence) if he could be a moderator. Well, long story short, his bid failed (mainly because he got all pissy when people said yes, good idea, but not you, but also because he was relatively new) and Jinxed was given the position for a week instead. He did well, was given it permanently, and he gradually evolved to admin.

    As time went on, Jinxed and Calis became less and less attentive to the board, but that was cool because it was pretty much self regulating. Then a wave of spamming started, and DU put up the call for me to become moderator. Needless to say, it was turned down, but Jinxed started laying down the law.

    The cycle began to repeat a few months ago, so Jinxed put out the call for some help, namely moderators, news posters, etc. Again, I was knocked back for moderatorship (which is fair enough :)) but was made a news poster. Snowmane got the job instead, and has since become inflicted with the curse of the moderator.

    Hence, unless the board starts to become filled with spam and useless crap again, and basically becomes lawless, people aren't made into moderators. Considering that only reasonable, friendly people get given the position I doubt I'll ever be made one :D.

    Maybe there should be one giant thread on the history of the board for people to read...

    Boohoo. I got turned down as well...guess I really didn't expect to be picked, though...

    Nice...I came in during the late Eros Rex Era (tm)...and as such am a little confused when you, Sheriff, Milo, etc, start talking about some arcane, obscure thread...

    Good times...*wipes away tear*

    *pokes self in eye*

    *returning to spamming days already*

    I came in fairly early in the board, but I was gone for a long time. Guess I missed alot of that. So, I need to be friendly and not spam so that the next time everyone else starts I can become a Mod :D

    Possibly, but Milo or SF or a more popular regular would be much more likely. That is, if they start showing up more and become regulars again.

    Are you trying to say I'm not popular!!! Oh well, guess that's true :) . Well maybe if there hadn't been that period of time where I thought the site was no more I would have been here more and I could be popular!! Well, I'm here to stay. Whether that's a good or bad thing depends on who you ask :p

    Hey, Hel Khat, Eros Rex, and Quethim, is it good or bad? If you think it is bad, you needn't reply.

    When I said 'more popular' I meant 'most popular'. They are probably the most loved here, at least by retard that is. If they were here, they could testify. As for now, retard has mrnobodie and vise versa, as they exchange cookies and hand jobs.

    Lol, I was here when Milo and SF were posting alot. We talked a good deal and I would agree that one of them could be a moderator. If they would come back that is.

    No way, I never want to moderate a message board. Never ever. Ever ever ever. Never.

    2 years ago when the game came out I didn't want to spend 50 bucks for it (tightwad) I saw it last Nov for 20 bucks including a small sized prima cheat book included so I bought it.

    Started playing and said this was a joke! (being used to BG 1/2 Icewindale 1/2 Neverwinternights and morrowinf)

    Restarted in April and enjoying the game.

    You joined Sep. 11, 2001, Milo? I'm pretty sure I remember us all talking about it. And you still had far over 1000 posts.

    Just so everyone knows, i'm gonna write myself a note and in three to four months i'm gonna post a reply to the last post on this thread, just to be a smart ass...

    oh and i like the second grave digger picture, (the dude with the top hat)

    also, why does it have to have something to do with dravedigging? why couldnt it be something really awful like a picture of a piece of poo? or a promotional photo of roseanne arnold?

    or xento's dick piercing?
