Why is it sideways?
Can I get this term trademarked?
Jake, I think you have too much faith in people. But, I'm feeling a bit jaded today. I just stepped down as a moderator on a site that now has over 700,000 registered users and I have little faith left in people. But, it would be lovely to not have this board be like every other one on the internet. I've no doubt I've contributed to the corruption of this board because I'm used to all the others, and for that I am sorry. So the question is, do you work to maintain something that is difficult to maintain, or do you lower your expectations? I think the first is the better option, even for a cynical biddy like me. (Am I old enough to be a biddy? )

The irony that kills me is that this place represents that theoretical thing a lot of people claim to look for: real diversity. The real kind. People from all walks of life here, every race and religion and political persuasion, all sharing one common interest.

For now I'm keeping an eye out on it. If you see anything that is inappropriate, drop me a note and I'll step in. I don't read all the threads anymore and my company actually expects me to work.
JK, I thought I'm the moderator for the general boards, and you guys moderate the groups. Are you saying I'm not doing my job? .... I don't read all the threads anymore and my company actually expects me to work.
Hmmm...if you let us pay some sort of membership dues you could quit your job and make managing this part of the Trenternet® your full-time job.
JK, the next time you think about leaving this place, drop me an email first so I can have a chance to fix things. I know you want me to fix the forums now, but I can only work on one big project at a time. If only I can work on this full time, I can give 'em commercial sites a run for their money.

A year ago I came up with this crazy complicated scheme that might help self regulate the forums but someone (you know who you are) shot it down saying it is not needed. I need to dig that emai up to see if it would actually work. I need to revamp the forum code anyway to make it easier to use, but not before I'm done with the log upgrade, GPS and all that good stuff.
