Fair enough. You were the best mod I think this forum has had. None of the others seem to be around much at all. If you thought it through then I won't try talk you out of it

I'm not goin to volunteer straight up, but if the worst comes to worst and nobody else does, then I'll put my name forward. Wouldn't want to see this place shutting down

Agreed, and i've known you from being around here on 2003 as my time under another username too, it's a shame cos altho i never posted, i lurked for quite a bit and you never threw your weight around and more to the point, you never changed during your time as mod.

But at the same time, being a mod on any internet forum is a thankless job and can piss off the best of em.
In saying that, i wouldn't like the place to be shut down either, there's been muppetry on the forum but there's been decent discussion as well over the years.

Best of luck, whatever you decide

T'would be a shame to see the forum shut.

I hope he isn't going to hate me for this, but I would nominate Vince135792003. He's around consistently on the board and has posted some real quality threads and posts. I know myself and many others really appreciated him sharing his observer shows he put up a while back. What does anyone else think?

If im out of line Vince just say so and i'll delete the post.

You are out of line! Seriously, thanks for suggesting me but I don't think I'd be the most suitable. Patience would be an issue. Maybe if there were ever 2 full time mods here, I wouldn't mind being 1 but I don't think I'd do a good job of it on my own.

IF Fozzy was willing to do it, I think he should be the new mod. He's probably got the most broad knowledge of wrestling here and more importantly he's always been level headed, listens to peoples views and basically sound to everyone on here.

So IF Fozzy was prepared to do it, I think he's the best choice.

Well since you brought it up, I may as well announce that I have actually applied for the job. I hope the longer term posters don't mind, I know i'm only posting here nearly a year.

Thanks to Vince and fatal for mentionin me. I gave it some thought and I decided to at least put my name forward

For the record, my first choice would be Vince, but I've got a bizarre fascination of seeing triple h as mod!

Didn't think of him, that would be great! His posts entertain me more than anyone else's, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way either, he cracks me up!

thanks, but all i know in the wrestling world is wwe. I watch a lot of other sports and have no time to watch other wrestling programs. baseball and cricket go on for a long time. in case ye are wondering i dont watch 8 hours of cricket, i would watch the first half hour and the last 2 hours, and in between i would check the score every so often or listen to news on the radio. I am a new fan of this sprot, and expert, since Ireland are in the world cup.
I have not got a clue about other wrestling brands....

Hope we'll still have ya around the forum Ph3n0m, you were the most active of all the other mods. All the best.

As long as were mentioning names, and as he has already mentioned he has put his name forward, Fozzy is one of the long time posters (along with Mr. Nice Guy, Vince, gimmick & Mossy Monk). Think he should be top candidate for the job if he wants to do it!

I second Mossy Monk's nomination.
