PART II
Chris62: So, they say you are the king of spamming, how in the world did you ever agree to mod that rat circus we call the [O]ff [T]opic [forum]?
Ming: Yeah, I can spam with the best of them. Just like ACOL in the old days, and now Counterglow. I used to spam some at 'Poly, but it wasn't really spamming... it was just the nature of things back then.
Chris62: Tell THAT to Spinky!
So which came first, OT mod[eration] or [O]n-[T]opic mod[eration]?
Ming: Off Topic! The on topic didn't need mods. But then Dan and Mark were seeing that the OTF was getting too big, and a little too crazy. They are gamers first! On Topic is everything to them. The OTF was a way to get all the non-game talk out of the On Topic.
Chris62: How do you feel about the subject I think silly, the post count? By that, I mean do you agree with the non counting of posts in the off topic?
Ming: At first, I fought tooth and nail against it. I used the ole second class citizens arguments, and all the normal stuff. MarkG held his ground, and called it an experiment. I now agree with him. Most of the really spam threads stopped in the OTF, and now, we can allow "some" spam and not worry about people complaining about people padding their count in the OTF.
Chirs62: Let's talk about some of the off topic people, I'll throw out some names, tell us what you think (or not)...Alexander's Horse.
Ming: An old time poster... mature (age wise), and looking for fun and entertainment... test the rules... cross the line... just have fun... it is just the internet... while we fight, I would like to think we are a lot alike... and he is a gamer.
Chris62: Rah.
Ming: My best buddy... how can he not be the case. We learned games together... and still share the thrill of discovery. We play golf all the time together. I don't know what I would do without him.
Chris62: War4Ever.
Ming: War is one of the better players in our circle. He is one of the people I REALLY want to sit down with and get plastered with. I consider him a better friend then some I know in real life.
Chris62: Let's expand on that, who would you like to really meet, not the generic everybody, but the names of some posters.
Ming: EVERYBODY!
War4ever, MWHC, AH, cold wizard, MarkG, DanQ, you, Berzerker, and most of the people I play with... and the big names at 'Poly. I really would like to meet anybody I can.
