    I've been thinking...

    The current situation is like Serfdom. There is a King and a Queen (Markos and Dan, you figure out which is which ) and then we have all the moderators who form the Nobility.

    There is also a class of people who use their money to get special favors and honors from the royalty. These are the Apolyton Plus subscribers.

    Then we have ourselves, the Serfs. The people who toil and click on the ads, the poor souls who spend hours on demogames and futile off-topic arguments.

    And we have our national heroes who dared to stand against this unfair situation. The almost forgotten Stewart Spink and YYYH and our modern day hero, OTBOT, who was removed by the King and Queen after rising against them.

    I agree with ming here. I had reason to PM him a while back and I was surprised at how responsive he was so I tend to think that legitimate feedback on a new mod would be taken seriously

    Seriously though -- did they make a pick?

    I'm always surprised when I see that prople actually seem to want the gig. Ming doesn't paint a very pretty picture of it and I am surprised he finds time while working a regular day job

    While I have to say I haven't agreed with all of what UR did as a mod, or even what he did before he became one, he deserves to leave on a high note.

    Thank you UR for your service.

    The best candidate is Mrs Tuberski, but since you don't want another American, then I think you should go for a European.


    If I had to pick someone, why not Skanky Burns? He knows the ropes, right time zone, stable posting times, etc.

    The suspense is killing me. Almost as much as laughing at Ming's counterglow exploits.

    Howz about Asher gets banned for life, and then you won't need another mod. Or you could ban all the troublemakers. I'd be gone, but then so would most people.

    I think you should calm down. If the birthday contest thread is anything to go by it could be a while yet.
