Easygoing Eyebeast *i Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Dikiyoba, long time community member, has decided to step down from her moderating position.

Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 As a long time lurker, I always saw Dikiyoba doing a great job at moderating and keeping peace 'n such. I do however hope this doesn't foreshadow Dikiyoba leaving this forum permanently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Goldengirl Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 And so, that was the day when the world realized that the great presence of Dikiyoba was no longer guiding them. There was great sorrow, for the Dikiyobaness of Dikiyoba was, without a doubt, a beacon for the world of the Spiderweb Software Boards.

Uh, anyway, thank you for your service, Diki. You've made enough of an impression on me in your time as a member that I now do not think of you as a red/green/blue dinosaur. I don't suppose that has anything to do with your being a moderator, but still, it's something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYT I can think of several people here who seem fairly reasonable and responsible. Of course, it is rather difficult to form meaningful character judgments based on only forum posts... Oh, I also wonder what Zarusa did to force out Dikiyoba - must have been pretty fierce. But since Zarusa always rolls 20s... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garrulous Glaahk Cthulhu Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You could have tons of power if the power system was comprised of extremely large quantities which results in tons of power being quite low on the overall scale of power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The ton is already defined as either 3517 W or 3939 W. That's actually only a few horsepower. The secret mod initiation process generally requires that much power output at minimum. —Alorael, who is glad Dikiyoba isn't leaving. He's also perversely glad that there are now four black names in the top ten posters. The experience is only slightly ruined by the fact that every single one of them was a mod at one time or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And so my question goes un-answered... However, this does give Dikiyoba the status of having a name so ancient that it's meaning has been lost in time. Which is pretty cool, especially when it's true. I would like to thank Dikiyoba for writing her Spiderweb-related literary works, because of reading them I can occasionally tell what you guys are talking about.

Understated Ur-Drakon Sudanna Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Just to make Diki a little less annoyed with you all, I'm going to use xir's correct pronoun. Only once, though. Oh, also good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I dislike third person pronouns to begin with, so I just refer to Dikiyoba as Dikiyoba and anything that belongs to Dikiyoba as Dikiyoba's.

You're thinking of the mighty land of Dikiyobia, from which Dikiyoba hails. Close, but no cigar. Also, as far as I can remember, Dikiyoba had something to do with dinosaurs. It may even have been a specific type of dinosaur. Anything more than that has been lost in the confines of Dikiyoba's mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I seem to recall Dikiyobia saying Dikiyoba was a dikiyora from the land of Dikiyobia. But I could be wrong about that. Judging be the unusual habits of speech, maybe Dikiyoba was neighbors with Yoda on Dagobah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotghroth Rhapsody Hypnotic Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Dikiyoba is a not just any Dikioyra, but the best and most powerful Dikioyra. I recall Dikiyoba saying Dikiyoba eats Fyora's fro breakfast. I hope you can see where name coes from if the Avatar didn't give it away.

Magnificent Ornk Dikiyoba Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 The origin of "Dikiyoba" is an acronym. The first two letters stand for "dinosaur" but I have forgotten what the other three words were. The fact that it spells something backwards is purely a coincidence. I invented it probably ten years ago, so I hope you'll all forgive me for forgetting such an interesting fact between the creation of the name and my arrival at Spiderweb. "Dikiyora", "Dikiyobia", and numerous other permutations of the word were created by the community not long after I arrived at Spiderweb, but the former two are the only ones that really stuck. Normally this conversation would be a cue for Dikiyoba to change Dikiyoba's PDN for a few days, but today Dikiyoba is out of ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
