    Default Meet the Mods

    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.

    Well ask away, guys! Haven't seen any questions yet....
    How was that song - "Let Me Edutain You"...?

    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.

    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.

    Stay tuned for the 2008 Men Of Thefret swimsuit calendar.
