Silly topic follows. Congratulations to Snarky on becoming the first moderator of the General Discussion I've seen login the last 6 years. A valued member of this small society and well worth it. I hope he governs this part of the forums with patience and strictness.

A small heads up, brace yourself stupidity is all over the gen-gen. I've made sure of that. m0ds helps a bit.

As for c_leksutin, what can be said that is true and not life threatening? None. And with the memory of the c_leksutin song in my head, by Grundislav, I salute thy sir.

Congrats Snarky!  Welcome to the club... now you can hang out with the cool kids in the "moderator's" board ;)

Yes, thanks. And thanks CJ for the confidence, and forum maintenance! If any of you need any moderating done, let me know.

I don't expect to start locking threads left and right or anything, but I'll probably want to split threads if they get way off-topic. (For example, in the RIP Whitney Houston thread, I would have split off the discussion of drug/alcohol addiction into a separate thread.)

Good luck, Snarky!
Remember that in AGS, we ban first and give warnings later.
Be vigilant, citizen!

So we can simply call out: "Snarky, do the splits!" if needed?

Good luck Snarky!

Wait, who says c_leksutin ever existed; it might just as well be a urban myth.  :=

I'll be damned if Snarky proves to be anything less than an excellent moderator.

This board is doomed to a future of responsible moderation. Snarky deserves a special cake.

Sorry, but that's my opinion.

Congrats man.
Now when is Ashen getting the boot in Beginners Tech and replaced with Khris or somebody who's actually online a lot? Even Scummbuddy doesn't come on very often any more - been over a month for him.

On a side note, I'd be willing to take over the Hints and Tips section. That's a section that's in need of desperate moderating. Multiple threads asking about the same game, misleading or incorrect titles, etc.

I know this is probably wrong, but I think I'd be very much stupid and regretful, have I not said this. So bear with that.

I'd like very much to grab a sit at the Modules section, knowing Scorpiorus has been somewhat absent. It would take a load off the current moderators, strazer and gilbet. I do own the entirety of modules and plugins and programs ever made, that I always provide to whoever requires them. Plus I've even made work of several plugins that possibly a few have to such extent (knowing that may sound too cocky).

I am well aware that everyone thinks I'm a moronic imbecile and well, that's what I'm passing through a lot, but that doesn't mean I don't take responsibility heavily, everyone who has worked with me I believe, has seen the best of me.

I am also aware that this is not, of course, the place and time, and the space is probably not even open, nor even the consideration of opening it, but I'd very much like to get that out. Regardless, if anyone is willing to listen I believe I have some ideas well worth considering to improve the organization and categorization of that section of our forums.
