Hey, um. Can we leave my past hacking out of this? It wasn't my fault that proboards didn't have a secure filter against brute forcing attempts. And besides, if I hadn't done that, someone else might have. And they probably wouldn't be as benevolent as I to give the account back eventually.

And really, the both of you! You two should know better than to have an argument here, in the middle of MS. Take it to PMs, divine or not.

Hey, weren't you only just modded, Coffee Boy? "Know better"? This is how things work here.

"Takes it to PMs, take it to PMs." We only tell the members that for the sake of illusion and to keep the jobs we have to do to a minimum. But Mod Squad is no-holds-barred. I've banned lesser mods than you for this kind of attitude.

Well this 'Coffee Boy' can very well force his way into your account, and you know that. You've seen me do it, or do you want a repeat of the whole hijacking incident again?

And I'm sorry for thinking that you were someone worth respecting! By the gods, it would be too good for me to even laugh at your funeral.

[Avery]

Jeez, sparing no one mercy here, eh? Laughing at his funeral is a bit harsh, Kit.

I think this whole thing is just bloody ridiculous. Crystal needs to stop acting innocent and holy. Kit needs to... not hack. xD; Stal needs to... well, I'm not sure, I'm pretty cool with Stal.

*tries in vain to get this topic geared towards normalcy* Neo condensing? D: What about the new set of rules Leo suggested (allowing newbies only to post in certain boards for a few weeks, etc.)?

I'm all for debates, and I guess I was being silly if I thought y'all would take it elsewhere... but if there's going to be a quarrel, at least let's also talk about issues. D:

[Crystal]

stalos said:

Hey, people, remember. I'm the number two here. I'm Assistant Head Admin. And if any of you say that's "Assistant to the Head Admin", I'll give you some demerits. Although, Carrie, you're showing some serious signs that maybe you could become one of my personal assistants and we could fast-track your rise.

So Crystal, I think it's time you stopped acting insubordinate to someone higher than you

If the newbies can't take what I dish, then good. It's the way nature works. Survival of the fittest.

Fact: A mod bans people, people that wish him harm. A mod is part human and part god. (Human + God = Humod = Mod)

And I think it's time we're treated as such. I, personally, see myself as the equivalent to Odin.

Well, you know, 'Odin', I think you're getting a bit senile here. The time of the Norse are over. Isn't it time to retire? Go back to Valhalla and put yourself to bed.

And higher than me? Hah! You wish! I'm an admin, you're an admin... I can ban your sorry ass just as well as you can ban mine! Besides, did you know that even Pat's getting tired of your high-handed ways? I was talking to her on AIM and she mentioned that she was considering demoting you a couple ranks, oh Holy One.

[Deleted]

Stal, I'd like to point out, that I think you need to revise your modly behaviour. You're not impressing anyone by flexing your buff buttons.

Now, back to some real issues. I remember Mowf talking about maybe condensing all the Neo boards into one, because most people here don't play Neo anymore? I'm against that, as Neo mod, but some of you guys were showing some support. xD;

Let's face the facts, about 80% of the older members (ie. the best members) and mods no longer play Neopets.

Why have so many Neopets boards when NOBODY plays Neopets? Neopets is a thing of this forum's past, and sure we started as a forum for "Neopian Times" writers, but we've grown past that and now its time to move out and become something better.


and if people complain too much, Komrade Killix bans them. ;D

Hear hear. I agree on the fact that this forum has long left its Neo roots. Sure there might be the odd young 'un still avidly playing, but the forum is now much more than that.

..and yes, I guess my view is biased by the fact that I never played it, and hence hold no love for it. >>; ..but it is a view nonetheless.

xD .. that's because he probably doesn't have anything else to flex!

[Crystal]

I gave up Neopets years ago.. IMHO, boards like Staff Call are hardly ever used anyway. The only ones frequented often are Neo General and Times Lobby. We could make them all into one board and put the Neopets mods onto something more important... Games and Interactive, perhaps.

Besides, if I remember right, Hunty and Ikkin did most of the talking in the Kit issue... all I did was say something every now and again. I even gave y'all permission to yell at him. I admit that my relationship with him was a factor in my recommendation of him as a mod, but that was a totally seperate occasion.

Hey, don't try to blame that on me! I stayed out of that, like I always do when I don't want to blame a friend but can't defend them while remaining honest with myself.

...sorry, Kit. >.>;

Hey, Odin, I've got the Catastro summon. Meaning you must do what I want. ^_^ Bow to me, or I'll ban you!

And don't say I can't, because we all know that mods can ban admins. Heck, even Patjade accidentally got banned in one of the ban wars we had a while back. She had to reinstate her account with the Master. (Which makes me wonder why Tracy still has any power, but who knows what power the doofus has to not get in trouble for anything... >.>; )

I think the only reason we put up with the doofus is that, unlike Stal, she actually gets things done efficiently and on time. *nods*

... I just think it's a silly idea. D: Even if most of the people don't play, there's still a good number who do. If anything, condense most of the art boards. Those barely get used.

The rule change ideas Leo suggested, however, are bit more intriguing to me. x3 Especially the part where she said maybe we can make it so newbies can only post in certain forums for a few weeks. What do you guys think about that?

You're just worried you'll lose what little power you have.

And two months gave me plenty of time to assimilate into being a mod. I've got way more experience than you. So I won't stand for any insults you throw my way, thanks very much.

Jeez, talk about going low. I don't care much about power. I just think it's ridiculous that because most of you guys don't play Neo, you want to ax that part of the forum. C'mon! You people are freaking ridiculous. It's not harming anything, so what's the point?

And Dan, you're taking things to heart. I never insulted you. Sure, two months is longer than what I have, but it's hardly a long time. You can act like almighty mod, but you stand in the same place as I do. Only thing is, at least I have an admin on my side. You're going nowhere, on the other hand.

While you may have an admin...it's an admin no one else agrees with here. So who's -really- going nowhere?
