Why is my hovercraft full of eels? Why doesn't the post count under my avatar match the one on the Posts page?

Do the Admin and mods here have a Code to follow?
Like be nice and neutral and not take sides in things?

The forum I mod also has a "No holds Barred" forum. With the exception of trashing the mods and certain things like racism and such. The mods dont do much to it but watch. Getting involved with the discussions is never advisable and not a wise idea.
Personally I don't admin stuff in the asylum or the OoT so that I can act naturally. I don't think it would work very well otherwise. I was never a terribly aggressive or malicious poster though. I try very hard to limit my sarcasm in the wow forums.

Do you always get along with your coworkers? I assume admins can get in disputes from time to time... how do you handle them? Have you ever had to have Alla / Head Honcho guy settle them for you?

Come on people, doesn't anyone have any deep thought questions which will shake the bones of the forum, nay, the foundations of the internet itself?


Fine.

As posted on another forum of mine... they discovered that there is something at www.apple.com happening tomorrow as you can clearly see. There are thoughts about it being wireless syncing, some 'cloud' thing, or even some new streaming music service through itunes that will do away with the current mp3 system that's in use now by the RIAA... any thoughts and conjectures on what might be up?

Also, since we are recently under mostly republican power now, and more than likely our next president will be some shady republican, do you think this country will ever be able to sort itself out and move away from this archaic political system? Basically I just want you to tell me when pot and gay marriage will be legal.

/end serious


Everyone seems to be thinking it will be the apple crapphone 4.2 OS rolled out to a bunch of different devices and maybe the long delayed subscription Itunes service. Given the timing though right before thanksgiving purchasing season, I'd look for them to roll out a new model ipad, maybe the rumored smaller one, and maybe a few updated ipods. Nothing recent has slipped through the leakometer, so I don't think its a major new hardware product. The ipod news would tie in with a major itunes subscription service announcement, especially given the zune tie in with windows mobile 7 and how they have been regarding that as a potential threat.

June 5th, 2047 it will become legal for you to marry male pot plants...


Are you sure it won't just be having Beatles' music on iTunes?

No. This is true and more often than you know! Like civilized pre-school children, we duke it out!

Yes, Alla did have to step in several times because I was going to kill Magi. Too bad he didn't realize I was in the right a year previous to the "incident."

If I was an admin, what's the most likely reason I'd lose my job?

For a wider question, what's the most common reason for staff to drop off over there? Eventual lack of interest? Fired for performance? Their jobs are phased out for lack of demand? Conflicts with "real" (full time) jobs?

In the short time I've been an admin it seems everyone gets along rather well actually. It's been a pleasant experience for me.

1. Hard to limit it to one, been watching Dune a lot lately.
2. Nothing that I listen to repeatedly, shuffle ftw.
3. LOTR
4. Probably a toss up between Fringe and Mythbusters atm.
5. The day my daughter's ITP went away and we didn't have to do any more treatments.

How much time are you required to spend moderating the forums? Do you guys have shifts? Also, I'd like to see my admin notes. No, I don't care if they're lame or if it makes me lame for asking.

My admin notes were boring last time, and I suspect they haven't changed much since then, so I'm not actually going to ask for them. I will however recommend that something interesting is added (DF, something along the lines of "this guy is super hot" works - but only if it's coming from you) so that next time yall do this and I ask it will provide a brief moment of entertainment.
