    So we are coming up to the After Hours 10th Anniversary in January 2009, so just wondering how many mods have modded this place over the 10 years , did they enjoy their time as mod, and would they ever consider taking up moderatorship again on After Hours or has it scarred them for life :).

    For example Terry left and is now back , he loves it all so much.

    These bastards will not elect me!11 I promised to kiss every criminal and kill every baby. I should be a super mod by now!




    ......Oh wait.

    Lets not forget that I was Cmod of Rec for a day which means I was an AH mod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    6th as After Hours Mod thats unpossible!!

    /Serious mode:

    Thought it was great fun the vast majority of the time, and the vast majority of the posters are great. Sadly, it does draw muppets like flies to sh1t, so that could get to me - sure, it's only the interweb, but just like the fun, friendly stuff gives you good vibes, the nasty stuff gives you bad vibes...

    One of them dumped the ginger chick from Girls Aloud for the gig.
    I won't say which one out of respect for the banned.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,931 ✭✭✭togster


    It seems to be modded very well in the 18 months i have been around tbh. Although Mordeth has yet to shake his booty for real around here yet so i will wait and see

    That would be a glorious day for Brotherhood.

    I think Mordeth "shaking his booty" would be far more glorious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,396 ✭✭✭✭kaimera


    Giblet modded AH for a long? while.

    Yup I remember Giblet being mod, I also remember Seamus being mod.

    Monty seems to have been mod for such a long time.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 36,634 ✭✭✭✭Ruu_Old


    /me raises hand from crowd. I used to be mod in AH. :/ Bigger and better things. *looks forward*

    Then he got pissed off with Boards and legged it.

    I wonder did he come back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Giblets last activity was January, thats been a while, he must be very pissed off.

    Hmm weird.

    It was longer ago than that when he stepped down as AH Mod, iirc, and I believe his password was scrambled at the time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    How come his Password was scrambled, did he go crazy?

    No.

    Instead of "deleting" an account that people don't want to use anymore, the Admin-types recommend a user scrambles their password, kind of type in a meaningless string of random characters that they'd never remember and throw away the evidence, so they can't use their account any more.

    Sorry, it looks like I said it was done on him, afaik he did it himself so he could just go.

    That sounds kinda depressing from an outsider point of view.

    Why?

    Some people get tired of Boards. Meh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Surely After Hours didnt do this to him.

    This is true, I stopped using boards as much for a year, but you slow get back in to it using it again.

    It's done it to many others.

    I'm just back off a months ban after AH made me do something crazy and out of character.

    Maybe some people, mods especially, take AH far too seriously and end up going nutso.


  • Moderators, Music Moderators Posts: 35,945 Mod ✭✭✭✭dr.bollocko


    But actually scrambling your password implies an outright confrontation that drove him so enraged with boards that he would never want to come back.
    Sounds juicy.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    And After Hours is driving you to double post in a furious attempt to get your point across... :(

    Actually, I distinctly remember Giblet saying that he was simply bored... of Boards.

    Sorry to ruin the illusion of something more sinister :pac:

    I think people usually do it when they want to quit because it's eating up their time but can't.

    so juicy ya double posted :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,679 ✭✭✭Chong


    Actually did you Dudess become mod off the back of Giblet retiring ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Nope. Terry. But Giblet gave it up very shortly after, so Terry came back. My prayers that I'd get to co-mod with Terry were answered! :pac:

    Actually, it was my first time and all the lads were very gentle with me, even Terry.
    Monty didn't do much though...

    Doubt it.

    Dudess was Mod for 11 Months.

    Giblets last activity is strange to me, because that wasn't when he requested to be unmodded.

    I err eh just paid my boards subscription.
    Maybe with all the confusion a double post went through.
    but why am I not a 4 star general now?
    I still only have 3 stars. Like a really bad Paris Hilton movie reviewed by Empire.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    No I was modding for seven months pretty much to the day. I got my "powers" (cue abuse) on New Year's Eve or New Year's Day and finished up last Friday (the 1st).

    I'm confused a bit now as to what you think should be longer -.-

    Ah, I thought you said somewhere recently that it was 11 months.

    In that case...yeah, the dates make sense.

    Still though, it seems longer.

    Probably because you were modding and sucking the fun out of the place. :p

    Although the 'really bad' was unnecessary.
