    Just shy of 7 years, which in modding terms is a lifetime. The only mods in this forum to do the job longer are BH and bombidol. Jay will not doubt pass me out in the not so distant future.

    I was posting here about 6 years prior to being a mod. I had seen some mods come and go. Some sound, some (and one in particular) complete drama queens who made the job seem like a complete pain in the hole. I said I would give it a go when asked and was surprised to see that the job was actually quite pleasant. Sure there were issues and like in any forum about any topic there will be muppets, but nothing which caused any real life stress.

    In the years I have been involved with the others, mainly BH and jay, I think we have grown this forum something massive. I looked at a WM thread from a previous era and it barely has 50 posts. Now, with our pre, live and aftermath threads there are at least 1500 posts in each of them now as well as various other topics, this is a very busy forum.

    This is an easy going forum with some great posters who really know their stuff. Its rare someone comes in and is disrespectful, and when that happens he either does not last long or takes a step back and realises the approach does not work. Again, this was not something which happened in previous eras.

    So in conclusion, I would like to thank the posters of this forum for making the job of a PW mod a pretty easy one.

    And obviously I want to thank the other 2 horsemen in BH and Jay for helping at all times too.

    Whoever the new mod is, I hope you last as long as I did here.

    Goodbye and Good Luck

    :)
    Are ya packing in boards or just stepping away from modding?

    I won't put my name in the hat tho but I will vote for Lord TSC! Great contributor and mod in general

    Gimmick is being demodded. Thankfully we aren't in any rush to kick him outta the club yet but we have chosen who will take his place but that also needs to be ratified by the admins before it will happen and nobody (even the next mod) will be notified on that until the admins take action.

    It's one of those things that goes very slowly until it's instantly all done.

    Damn BH, I was hoping since this is PW Boards after all, that the moderation position story would peter out without an outcome ala many a WWE storyline. (GTV anyone?)

    I think there is only one way to settle this, a 1 night Deadly Game style tournament with BH and Jay as the Vince and Shane of the whole deal. Who is their chosen one????


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,014 ✭✭✭✭jaykhunter


    I'm down! *singing* DEADLY GAME!

    I would really like to throw my name into the ring here too.

    Although I don't post as much, I'm still there... lurking... looking in on ye.

    How is it proposed to choose the new mod? Is there anything to be said for an eating contest of some description?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,296 ✭✭✭✭gimmick


    Ahem :pac:

    Welcome LORD TSC. Some good names put forward so to rise above that crop you have done well. Good luck in the job. You will find its pretty easy. Certainly a lot easier than your soccer role. Enjoy.

    Thanks :) Pleased to be on board and hope I can continue the tradition of making this forum as awesome as you guys have :)


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,092 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Felt bad after getting you to be my soccer mod replacement but now I can say.... Welcome to the good side of modding :pac:


    There were many many good candidates that we discussed and honestly we would have been happy with any of several different names but tis The Lord who is the new Gimmick!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,020 ✭✭✭✭beakerjoe


    Congrats to Lord TSC, well deserved. How anyone can mod the soccer forum is beyond me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,158 ✭✭✭✭hufpc8w3adnk65


    Best man for the job imo... Hence why I nominated him ðŸ‘ðŸ»


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,469 ✭✭✭LeeJM


    Congrats Lord TSC. Was the most logical choice for the gig. Surely now he needs a Gimmick change to Lord Tensai

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    I had a feeling it would be LTSC and I think he's the best choice (which is no knock on the other fine candidates who put themselves forward). Congrats to him.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,491 ✭✭✭thebostoncrab
