Easygoing Eyebeast Dantius Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I, for one, welcome our newest mod overlord. Though this does screw with the symmetry on the top posters list. TM should be modded and Aran should post faster to correct this imbalance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall A less presumptuous name. Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Nope, this is new. And, quite possibly, terrifying. Although I suppose Lilith can't be worse than that one weird kid, Alorael. And Aran is mostly gone, isn't he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchling Cockatrice Randomizer Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Every one in the top 10 list is or was a mod or admin at some time. Some of the top posters have gotten lazy with their output. Lilith has been a mod in a past PDN. I can't say it's old age since Alorael is the oldest and most prolific.

It was kind of odd that Stareye didn't make a welcome thread. Oh well. Welcome back, Lilith. Dikiyoba. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow. I didn't realize how much this was the case. I count 6 or 7 relatively active mods, including Lilith. Once upon a time, we had like 10-15 at any given time. On the plus side, we don't notice that because there isn't a huge need for mods, which is great. Spiderweb is growing up! Actually, I think that's about right. The boards had the terrible twos for sure, and then that awkward adolescence where there was lots of fighting with mom and dad. Then things settled down and got more consistent, more peaceful, and more boring, as happens when you grow up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchling Cockatrice Alorael at Large Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 There also used to be more of a need for mods because each mod was restricted to a section or a few sections. Now just a handful of people can take care of all the problems as long as they don't mind unpaid babysitting overtime. —Alorael, who would like to deliver the official announcement: Sun Myung Moon is, for now, dead.

Hatchling Cockatrice Drayk Armitage Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Well, there's definitely a correlation. However, it is definitely not a direct correlation: I think Student of Trinity is the only current mod who had a truly large number of posts at the time of first modding. (And IIRC, he was actually asked years previously; he just said no at the time.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But really, where'd she go? Dunno. She seems to have lost interest and wandered off. It happens. (It's one of the reasons mods typically have a high post count. If you've posted a lot, it's because you've been around for a while. And if you've been around for a while, you are less likely to suddenly leave.) Dikiyoba.

One of the things we did after the custom titles started working again (three cheers for Dikiyoba on that one) was remove the handful of self-inflicted custom titles that remained from the switchover to UBB.threads.

Also, half the posts on this account were Marlenny's not mine. My third account has only 170 posts. Also, it seems this account has lost its custom title.
