This may be hard to imagine, but Jack must be having it worse than we are...he isn't even able to get on here...and I sure as heck don't want him coming back after all this time to find this place in ruins...so...do what you need to do, I will support whatever decision you make..

Hi no Seijin

Wow.  Um, I guess I'm honored that you all think I would make a good mod, but I'm not sure if I would accept the modship.  I really don't see myself as a leader type.  I'm not even going to say any b.s. about how college is going to interfere, because college hasn't really been stopping me from coming here; I dare say it's the other way around.

And to answer Shikamaru's question in his PM he recently sent to me, yes, I'm starting to.  Sorry for not replying back via PM, but I really rather not go through that hassle of waiting for TDC to load. ;)

Ah, yes, I felt really stupid after sending that, I forgot about your inbox troubles ;)but wait, that means you saw it....so then...inbox better? Anyways, I think I would accept modship if I was given it, but it probably would be a good idea to find out if somebody would want to be a mod or not before he thrust it upon them, yes?

WHAT ABOUT ME I've been in line for a year and I'm older than all but one member in the poll and thats Magmar, and I'm back, and sould'nt we consult Jack about this, I'm at the top of his Mod list, I mean this IS still Jacks website, and I've think I desevere to be in the running again, I've had school work, the teachers are giving me TOO MANY projects. I really think I should be in the poll, I've been here, I left, but not forever, so don't act like I'm dead cuz I'm not. And I agree with ZV we members should know, mods are leader. And leaders take care of people, not hid things and hiding only makes thing risker for the leader, and I have enough sense to now that something MAJOR is not right. I sat back and congradulated you on making the step up to being a mod Whocares, but now I'm gonna say it, Jack should of given this responseability to someone, not just me, but to a BETTER person. Heck Magmarfire could of done a better job anyway. And if you consulted Jack, have more sense, HE WON'T BE BACK, he probly forgot about us. Ban me or delete me, but you and I know this place will crumble before your very eyes. Then what are you going to do?

DW

Jack hasn't been around for a while Howl. This really isn't a time to be whining either, this has been really hard on a lot of us, it isn't a happy time where one of us finally gets power or anything like that. If enough people think you should be mod though, I suppose we could count that aside from the poll and give you a shot at becoming a mod.

A bit off topic, and sorry about that, but no, it's not all better.  I have it set so that I receive notifications by e-mail whenever I get a PM, and whatever you wrote in your PM I can read in the e-mail.

okay, that's way extreme. You shouldn't have come out and insulted him like that, everything has been said and done, you missed it, we need to move on. This site will not die, we've had bigger problems before. And Jack will NEVER Forget about us, he has been doing this for so long, this is important to him. He is busy, that's all. Same reason you were gone for a month. Also, I don't mean to offend, but I don't think you have a very good chance of becoming a mod. You have horrible grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and age has nothing to do with it, you don't see Jdog up there.(and for good reason)

EDIT: Also, I checked, you aren't older than me. Or anyone on the poll for that matter. Do your research next time.

Shika, I think. He would be a good mod.

Thanks Din. Cookie for you.

Wow, I choose horrible days to go see a movie.

I owe many things to Zelda Veteran.  For one, it's thanks to him that I became a mod in the first place.  I'm very grateful to him and I hope that he finds it in his heart to stay here.

This place is my home away from home.  You've all become some of my closest friends and not once have I considered leaving.  I've had my arguments and conflicts with some of you, but I seek to work things out.  Bgrugby has made a point recently that I will not deny.  I have been lenient on what's warnable and what's not warnable although I wasn't particularly fond of the way he presented it.  Yet I was able to make my peace with him before he left again.  So Zelda Veteran, I'm sure we can work out this whole thing and you'll stay.

DW

Oh, you and rugby made amends? That's good...I was worried he would leave with everybody hating him...

After a few minutes of reading this entire thread (which is growing at an incredibly noticeable rate), I have one thing to say: :o

I had never, ever thought of ZV leaving the Mod Squad; and hearing him say that he's actually doing it threw me in for a loop. What's worse is that I never thought of ZV leaving TDC altogether--which is even worse--and yet he considers it! ZV, you are THE very first friendly face that I saw in my one full year of being a member of TDC forums, and if you leave, nothing here will be the same again. I'm sorry if I sound demanding--or even all-around stupid--but I must say it: ZV, PLEASE DON'T LEAVE!!! :'(

Anyway, we're going to get through all of this corruption, guys. As one of the previous posters once said (SN, I think), we've been in worse situations before. Need I remind all of you guys about the Spam Bot Incident or the Medli Era? Okay, I guess I was a part of the problem in the Medli Era in the first place, but we all eventually got through it, save the people who were banned. We're just going through a depression in the proverbial "forum cycle." Eventually, it will upgrade to a recession and then finally a prosperity. We'll get through this, guys. We can do it. :)

It sounds like people think this site is falling apart because the admin. left. Then Whocares though it would be better not to worry the members, so he covered up that topic but what happened leeked out, so your worried about that. Then, of course, Bgruby leaves, and he's an old member. Then some of the mods think they aen't enforceing their duties well, so they're stressing out. Then the rest of the topic-deleating thing, so everyone's stressed ot, mad at each other, and think they should leave. Even if you do leave, this site can't die. It will not. We will miss everyoe who does leave, but there's enough fighting going on without one inside a website. So, bye everyone who's leaving, but this needs to stay together.

Gamefreak

I'm not stressing.  I'm just aware.  

I'm not one to go.  Hate to be cliche but "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."  I don't want to leave when things get bad, I want to see things through until the end.  I want to set things straight.  That's why, if we can't have an admin for the site, we at least need an admin for the forums.  We're heavily vulnerable to threats and if one came along, there's nothing we can do.  A forum administrator would be the best course of action right now.  Also, in the worse scenario that Zelda Veteran does leave, we'll be very short on mods.  Whocares and I will be the only regularly active mods and there will be only so much we can do.  Darth Wyndisis has been showing some activity lately and I'm grateful for the help, but with only mods, we're caught between a rock and a hard place.

DW

So I guess no matter what we have to get the mod situation straightened out. There is nothing we can do about a forum administrator at the moment, with Jack gone....we don't even know if he will allow it.

Whether or not he allows it, if some one isn't in charge, this may fall apart. We need to apont some one now then tell Jack when he get's back on. If we don't have a strong leader to  get us through this, this site may die.

DW

If he doesn't make it official though, then said forum administrator won't be able to do anything. Jack is the only one who can grant power.
