I know of a few other forums that have "meet the Mods" threads - Forumites can post questions they'd like to ask the Mod, and he or she answers, simple as that.

Fun, and informative! Edutainment at its finest. :D

Okay, I'll bring this around to the half serious side.

Question:

#1: How do you decide how many mods to assign to the different sections?

#2: How do you decide who gets assigned to each section?

#3: Do you have uniforms?

#4: Do all of you belong to a secret society where you wear robes like monks wear and have sacred rituals?

#5: Is it true that this forum is raking in so much money that all of you are living on some exotic island and this whole Canada thing is just a front to throw us off from suspecting anything?

#6: If #5 is false, is it true Canada is on Metric time?

1. Wild guess
2. Wild guess
3. Yes, pink ones.
4. No, we quit doing that last month. We are wearing Speedo's next month to see if we get more members to sign up.
5. Yes sort of, but that island is in the Bering Sea, so it's not that exotic.
6. Well, the truth is that Canada is so empty and uninhabited, that we are actually on kilo-metric time.

Since I've been here I think only SS & Vood have been made mods. Am I missing someone? Great choices in my opinion.

Robert, Tone, & Spud are mods, I forget who else is. Is Myles still around?

You can see who the mods are on the home page. Look in the right column.

Shows how many times I go to the main page. I just click on New Posts.

So I missed M29, Bloozcat, & oldguy. Good choices all.

All us mods got together one day for the speedo shopping trip, and while having lunch later and contemplating exactly which island we were going to freeze our keesters off in the Bering Sea, we all decided the easiest way to moderate the forum was to just ban anyone that doesn't think like we do. So far it seems to be working.:D

Stay tuned for the 2008 Men Of Thefret swimsuit calendar.

(shudder) . . . thanks for my reoccurring nightmare for the month Spud.

Seriously, many thanks to all the great moderators on this forum. They do a fantastic job. Those of us who have seen bad moderating (wink, wink, nudge, nudge . . . cough washburn . . .) know how difficult it can be to find the right people for the job.

I feel lucky to be a mod here. TheFret is the guitar/bass site, IMO.
Plus once a year Robert sends each of us a new guitar...

I always wanted a 1959 re-issue Les Paul, but couldn't afford one. But now, thanks to thefret.net I have one.

Ok, we must have a rogue MOD because someone removed the picture from my post near the top of this page. No explanation, no PM or e-mail.

Well, I guess I owe the mods an apology. I forgot that when I am at work I can't see some pictures, so I will assume that is the problem. I thought it only did that for video, but apparently I'm wrong.:thwap:

So, my apologies to the Mods of thefret (actually that would be "of the thefret)

Ok strummy, just for that you have to turn in your free guitar.

That's why he's crabby. He didn't get one but he's also not a mod and Robert quit giving out free guitars to everyone after the first 5 months after the forum started.

Figures. I joined in month 6. Just as well, 'cuz I'd just end up rewiring it, changing pickups, installing a new bridge, tuners, push/pulls, etc. etc. Does that make me the "mod" mod??? Whatever.... :whatever:
