I remember when you signed up, Tacheon. Good times.

Congratulations on a whole year here, and for becoming a mod in less than that time. You must be special.

Wonder how long it took me to become a mod :/
Title: Re:A year.
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 28, 2008, 01:00:04 AM
Considering you seem to be under the impression that I'm a mod, I don't think any estimate you could make would be very reliable.

Nope.

Don't mean to brag, but I don't think I've ever received even so much as a warning for anything. Just info for you. You're probably thinking of someone else.

Um, congrats, I guess, Tacheon.  I can't remember when I joined and I don't feel like looking, so, um, yeah.  Congrats, I guess.

Congratulations on surviving a year.  

I could probably look up the info on how long it took you to be a mod Shika.

Ahem* yes. I can't believe I was EVER appointed a mod. In all honesty, I was a noob back when Jack appointed me. And during that short noobhood I tried to get Jack banned from TDC XDDD

Ahhh... I was so young and stupid. And still Jack appointed me with modship. I learned a lot from him in the time he was here, and I respect that man more than most men I've met in real life. Here's to Jack~
*toasts*

And in all honesty Zelda Veteran, you're the reason I'm here where I am now thanks to you recommending me to Jack for modship.

Hmm, indeed. I'm intrigued.

Post by: Zelda Veteran on July 28, 2008, 06:54:48 PM
Yeah, We were all a bunch of noobz here, and Jack was starting to crack down on the rules- like heavily. Everybody was complaining about it over PM's, so I typed up a big thing telling Jack why he was making the place suck. I misspelled darn near every other word I'm sure, and I was probably being a spoiled brat about it, for lack of a better term. Jack got stern with me, and told me a whole bunch of logic that I probably didn't understand back then.

One thing he said still sticks out in my mine however, and that was "I'll run my site how I see fit." Even after all of that, he forgave me, and when he appointed the mods, and he selected me, I was naturally shocked. I remember asking him why, and he said "You seem to be the 'leader' of the wave a new members, and I think it'd be best if they had some kind of representative." That wasn't exactly what he said, but thats just about all I remember about it.

I still respect Jack so much... I learned a few valuable lessons from him, and I believed he helped shape me into the person I am today. He was really the only role model I had back then besides my Dad. Heh heh... I remember Jack used to refer to us as "The Spam Brigade". Good times. ^__^

I joined a month before Shika, and became a mod around the same time as him.

I think It's fairly obvious why GF made me a mod, but if it's not, go ahead and enlighten them, GF.

We needed to represent the female population as well.

For the mod appointments a year ago, I chose who I thought were the most capable people for the job.  People who were passionate for upholding the rules of this site.

But not only that.  But these people were able to get along with everyone, and were able to make unbiased choices in warnings and bannings, and I'd say we've been tested this past month (week) in displaying that.

Dude, I would have been the logical choice if that was the case.

they would've picked me. but they didn't because i'm a jew and would've accepted monetary bribes
Title: Re: A year.
Post by: Hi no Seijin on July 29, 2008, 08:18:54 AM
Except I'm your wife and the logical choice would still dictate me as representative of the female population.

By the way, can I have "Secretary of Lolcats" above my stars?  I daresay once I get my computer back I'll go back to earning that position.
Title: Re: A year.
Post by: Twilight Wolf on July 29, 2008, 04:28:40 PM
So, HNS, wife of Fisk, how'd you guys meet, exactly?
Title: Re: A year.
Post by: Fishalicious on July 29, 2008, 04:44:11 PM
I looked for my wife in Silent Hill, found out I killed her, and killed my newfound girlfriend in the process.

I decided I might find a new wife in the desert, and that's how HNS and I met up.

Aww, what a charming story.

You should make a movie out of it.
