    Looks it, doesn't seem to be a replacement for me yet...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,452 ✭✭✭Time Magazine


    Can I suggest a public discussion on who would be a good replacement?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 760 ✭✭✭ZWEI_VIER_ZWEI


    If we're going down that route, I think I'd like to recommend myself as a mod

    Suggest away, but don't be surprised if the CMods ignore everyone's suggestions and pick a third party candidate.
    Homer: America, take a good look at your beloved candidates. They're
           nothing but hideous space reptiles.  [unmasks them]
            [audience gasps in terror]
    Kodos: It's true, we are aliens. But what are you going to do about
           it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
            [murmurs]
     Man1: He's right, this is a two-party system.
     Man2: Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
     Kang: Go ahead, throw your vote away.
            [Kang and Kodos laugh out loud]

    That's silly, CMods usually take posters' and current mods' recommendations into consideration. Anyway this thread looks like it could spark some pretty entertaining arguments. *munches popcorn*

    Well, of course they'll take it into account, I was only saying that to set up my Simpsons quote.

    Did you quit?


    I propose myself as a Moderator.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    ZWEI_VIER_ZWEI, if only for the drama his trolling would cause. Posting up pictures of fellow users and the like.

    Jonathan because he's an undergrad who hopefully keep baza banned

    Cantab, because every forum needs a cantab

    PurpleFistMixer because I liked internet bullying her.

    Ron DMC, cause fuk it, there should be at least one black mod.

    AlanSparrowhawk: Cause he's as crazy as a bag of hammers and puppies.

    Boston, for the above.

    Boston for the vs. Sabbats thread, which I actually saved : D

    No, I'm just magically not a mod any more. ;p
    Don't really read boards too much any more, and that's generally not a favourable quality in a mod.


  • Posts: 4,630 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I don't post here often, but I do lurk quite a lot... And I have to say I'd nominate Fad, now that he's going to be going to Trinity next year. He seems to have an interest in this forum, too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I think the mods of UCD should just take over the Trinity forum, it'd be easier for everyone and they're practically the same college anyway.

    But Piste, I thought you got the points to get in to TCD? :)

    It's a bit of a weird one, last year I would have gotten my first choice, which is medicine in TCD, but because of the new entry requirements it looks like I'll miss out on it and end up in Human Health and Disease in TCD. There's the small chance of me ending up in UCD or RCSI tho.

    Nah, the quality of undergraduate education is far superior in UCD.

    Hah, I'd love to do it, but seeing what they (
    and by that I mean Boston*
    ) did to PFM, I'm not sure I'd be up to it!

    *A joke :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭Tricity Bendix


    As the only person here able to control Boston, y'all should be begging me to be your mod. Or at least the Boston-specific mod. In fact, I should be the site-wide Boston mod.

    I always had you pegged as a power-bottom.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,510 ✭✭✭Tricity Bendix


    You have everyone pegged as a power bottom.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    I heard Boston "pegged" you as a power bottom >_>

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,699 ✭✭✭Brian


    Is there going to be a new mod appointed, or are we just going to spend the rest of this thread in each other's endos?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Someone might want to ask the existing mods which, if any, of them want to step down. They begin the process of selection.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,699 ✭✭✭Brian


    Isn't the spot in question that vacated by PFM?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    What makes you think the other two want to stay? Or for that matter that we need 3. It's been weeks since PFM was removed and months since she actively moderated the forum. No one noticed.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,699 ✭✭✭Brian

    Have to say i did notice actually, but i just didnt care enough/understand so didnt say anything.


  • Posts: 16,720 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I did.

    But then again I knew she was stepping down.

    So it wasn't much of a shock.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭Fad


    I knew, thread on the JC forum told me, well before she stepped down.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,163 ✭✭✭✭Boston


    Ok, lots of people noticed, no one cared.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,532 ✭✭✭Unregistered.


    People, people! Ask yourselves, does boards.ie really need another moderator?


  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Well it wouldn't really be "another" would it, it would be replacing another moderator so the overall number of moderators wouldn't change.

    For all intents and purposes the moderator has been gone for months.

    Right, well you have missed the point there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,523 ✭✭✭ApeXaviour


    I think we could do with another mod. Which means I don't want to have to deal with all the crap as the new academic year starts.

    Grand, I'll put forward Jonathan as my nominee to take your place.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,333 ✭✭✭✭itsallaboutheL


    Hello good people,

    I just want access to Sand S without paying money.... so i think i should be the new Mod of the Telecommunications Consumers Division...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 485 ✭✭AlanSparrowhawk


    +1 Boston mod.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,523 ✭✭✭ApeXaviour

    :confused:

    why so touchy?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,231 ✭✭✭Fad


    I do think Jonathon would be a very good suggestion.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,440 ✭✭✭✭Piste


    Jonathon seems pretty level headed.







    (I'm going to seem pretty silly if, come Monday, it turns out I'll be in UCD or RCSI...so maybe ignore this post until Monday)
