Mod love

[WarKitty]

I've been on gitp for a bit over a year now. I've been on multiple corners of the internet before. I've also had the challenge of moderating a forum for an mmorpg. This is one of the saner corners of the internet. It's one of a few places where I've seen something like the LGBTAitp thread exist and remain relatively sane. And where I haven't had trouble for being a female gamer.

I know not everyone agrees with everything you guys do. I don't. But - I love you guys. So here's a plate of internet cookies:

(Also, I am mildly drunk and feeling sappy tonight.)

[Haruki-kun]

Heh... nice thread. Well, sure, why not.

Thanks, mods!

[MoonCat]

Mod rock. They've been kindly lenient to my noob transgressions, but I'd like them in any circumstances.

Ooh hey, the cookies all rolled 20!

[Killer Angel]

Ooh hey, the cookies all rolled 20!

They're Mods' cookies. I won't expect no less from 'em. :smalltongue:

[CrimsonAngel]

*stumbles into the thread*

I didn't go to sleep last night.

Hi mods! *waving furiously* Hey!

[The Succubus]

Huh, I didn't get much sleep either thanks to an incredibly creep manga my gf linked me.

[Asta Kask]

Mods are good. I've been to a place without mods. :smalleek:

[_Zoot_]

Yes! ALL HAIL THE MODS!

LONG MAY WE PRAISE THEM AND THEIR LACK OF MIND CONTROL.

[Mauve Shirt]

Hey guys.

[Kuma Da]

Hooooooray, modthread!

(seriously, you guys are pretty great)

[Eon]

Run for your lives! They are min-

No. Please stay. It is very nice here.

[Zigg'rrauglurr]

I agree with WarKitty, on the thank you mods, not on the being mildly drunk.

Thank you mods for keeping this a very sane place.

Mauve shirt, What's with the bananas?

On a more serious note, I suspect the state of the community does a fair bit to help the mods set the tone they have, because if they were having to fight and sanction everyone they'd burn out pretty quickly and lose their tempers more often, leading to the possibility of them acting in a much less professional way...

[littlebottom]

Hey guys.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?! YOU HAVE BROUGHT MOD WRATH ON US ALL!:smalltongue:

[The Dark Fiddler]

Hey guys.

There are no bananas, citizen. Go back to your mind control.

[RndmNumGen]

GitP is one of the best forums I've ever been to, and while a large part of that is the community, the contribution of the mods can not be overlooked(who, in part, belong to the community as well). So yes, props to the mods from doing a good job - I know from first hand experience how difficult moderating can be.

[MCerberus]

There is no mind control, citizen. We shall go back to our cookie baking.

[Asta Kask]

Anyone else vote that Serp add "Ate her mother's pants" to her signature?

This I must sig. Thank you for your cooperation! :smallbiggrin:

[Siosilvar]

*counts cookies*

...

*counts mods*

That's three for Roland and one for Glyphstone, right?

[Coidzor]

Anyone else vote that Serp add "Ate her mother's pants" to her signature?

Och, aye! *raises drinking horn*

[Serpentine]

Anyone else vote that Serp add "Ate her mother's pants" to her signature?They were a present from a friend of hers and they were also disgusting! Shut up!

[KenderWizard]

This is the most fascinating thread!

I also love GitP for its niceness and wellmoderated...osity... It's the only forum I've ever been able to stick.

That entire banana thread was fascinating, especially Serp's contribution. While I have never eaten banana underwear of my mother's, I do agree -- wait. I cannot in good conscience discuss bananas publicly.

[Xanmyral]

I guess I'll join in. This is, honestly, the nicest forum I've ever been on in the internet. People her are nice, there aren't flame wars going on every day, and at worst you can expect a snarky comment aimed at you.
Still getting used to the Mods cursing less then the average posters.

[AtlanteanTroll]

Man, I really wanted this to be a shipping thread. Oh well. Glyph still rocks.

[Gadora]

I'll add my voicekeyboard to those praising the mods. They go a long way towards keeping this place one of my favorite websites on the 'net.

I suppose we can turn it into a shipping thread if you like.:smallconfused: Um, what packing material do you favor? Personally, I'm a fan of bubble wrap. :P

Try it and we'd get escorted off the forums faster than you can say "Caress my mighty banhammer."

[Gadora]

Aye, I suppose the mods wouldn't like being packed up and mailed somewhere. Or is that the wrong sort of shipping?

[Hailphage]

Been a poster on many boards, and have seen enough to know that moderating can often be the most thankless job in existence. So thankyou to the mods here for the great job they do. :smallsmile:

The thing you should realize is that modding is a labor of love. You put time and effort into a system that usually just . . .

And pride in providing a haven on the stormy internet is what keeps a playground mod going.

Threads like this also help to reinforce those notions.

[Keld Denar]

Woah...a wild WampaX has appeared!

There's a name I haven't seen post in AGES. /wave

[Haruki-kun]

That... IS a very rare sight.

[Trog]

*a troglodyte wanders in*

Wooo! Mod love! About time this thread got started. Trog brought the uh... *looks around quizzically* ... uh mod lube and um...

...

You know, this isn't the thread Trog hoped it was going to be. :smallconfused:

Ooo, bananananananas! *nabs one, munches* P=

As amusing as that would have been, there is a reason they ended all those threads a while ago...

Oh, I know, but I still wanted it to be one. I wasn't the only one either. *Coughs and points at Trog.*

[CrimsonAngel]

Hey guys.

Now now, some people like peaches. Silly people.

[The Succubus]

Woah...a wild WampaX has appeared!

Quick! Where's the pokeball?!

[The Glyphstone]

Wampa's back!

[Mercenary Pen]

Wampa's back!

And the rest of him. What is this strange fascination with his back anyway?

[The Glyphstone]

It's the furriest part.

[Mercenary Pen]

It's the furriest part.

That makes some kind of sense- I was worried that it would be some weird, unknowable reason worthy of an eldritch abomination...

[ragingrage]

They're Mods' cookies. I won't expect no less from 'em. :smalltongue:

I think these are false Mods' Cookies. Real Mods' cookies roll 21s :smallbiggrin:

I remember a forum I was on a few years back burned through mods pretty quickly. They've gone through about thirty in...three years? Now the place is mostly dead and one mod runs everything, though it used to take about five at any one time. The place had so much drama it was ridiculous. That and the spam attacks. Those ticked off the mods, and since the game it was for died (and crashed) they don't promote any new ones. Heil SMBB, god of Sporum Mods!

[WampaX]

Quick! Where's the pokeball?!

This is not the pokemon you are looking for.
Move along.

Also, found this on the boards.
Thought it was thread appropriate.

I didn't say why the fur was important...

[Mercenary Pen]

Silly me, and I just assumed you were using it to make garrotes or maybe wampa-falvoured popcorn... shows how little I know I suppose.
