I would nominate anyone who doesn't nominate themselves as replacement.

Pity. You've probably been the best mod around here.

Agreed.

We do need more mods in this place though. Not less.

Hard not to when quoting your post

Fare thee well to the lands of the mortal, TI. Tháinig do lá, so to speak. Your moderating wit shall be missed.

Oh, and good friggin' luck to the poor schmuck who's forced to take up TI's place. The benzodiazepine are over there in the cupboard. Feel free to help yourself.

Hard to say who is "best" There are a few good ones. Some better than I used to think.

But yeah, TI has been one of the good'uns.

How dare your employer block MacNN - may they feel the pain of a million worms slowly eating away at their bits and bytes, and face the wrath of a thousand blue screens of death. The bastids.

Sorry to see you go, but there must be a way. Have you tried talking to your employer? The forums aren't exactly pornographic or overtly offensive. The forums are a vital, indispensable tool for real world hot babe jpeg orgies, I mean, tech support and related issues.

Seriously, all the best to you. I hope there's a way to sort this out.
It doesn't make sense, but then I know companies that ban everything except vital business related surfing. Sux.

All the best.

Well thanks for that - was it really necessary to make me look *that* stupid? (Not that this would be a particulary complex task to begin with)

I certainly hope that someone worthy will come along to follow in his footsteps.

Let me be mod for a day.

It's my birthday on Nov 28th, so hook me up! It'll be awesome.

nredman · Nov 4, 2005, 02:54 PM

i'll be a mod - how much does it pay?

OreoCookie · Nov 4, 2005, 03:36 PM

Zero.

You know what? I think you've got a point.

I am serious. After all the crap that has spewed forth on these boards either coming from or directed towards you, I think you have earned a special place in the Lounge "Pantheon of Heroes".

For one 24-hour period you should be a mod in here. You would still have to abide by the moderator's Oath of Conduct but I think it would be fun.

We've got Glenn (ghporter) who is calm, rational, and polite. Why not have you, his anti-thesis, as well. You'd get my vote.

Before you go, can you fix all of BOBPETERMANLOL's posts? And by fix I mean delete as he keeps posting that infamous image.

nredman · Nov 4, 2005, 10:47 PM

indeed - its not the kind of image you'd like to see after drinking alittle too much

Yeah, these are times when I wish that the 'NN database wouldn't allow posts to go through successfully, but that never ever happens around here.

Pfff.

What a sorry excuse of retirement.

I'll regret you.
Thanks for the good times!

Possibly - but where would have been the fun in that? It's like the difference between buying a nice sweater for someone or knitting it yourself ... it's the the blood, sweat & tears that account for at least half the fun.
