    First of all, I love your color codes. Makes looking at a quote awesomely special. In a good way. Second, what kind of black people food?

    Wait what?

    WTF is "black people food" and who in the world would actually use the phrase "black people food?"
    Oh and then a KFC joke . . . classy guys, very very classy.

    Also, to Shelly. I've no doubt you've probably raised the subject with him before, but you need to kick Frankie in the *** and get him to create some new moderator positions. You're doing the best you can, but you and Krisinda can't deal with these spammers alone. 2 people does not a mod team make.

    I have no idea, which is why I asked. There are definitions and wording for everything these days.
    That aside, I agree. Where is Fuzzy? Why toss Kritty out of the race (and stick him to a different forum)?

    On a lighter note: How are you, FatherTed?

    Mmmm, smells like rain on the night.

    I'm just fine, thanks for asking. Hope you are well too.

    Kritty resigned (or moved to a different game can't remember which) and that's a shame. I always forget about Panda. . . Which probably says enough about my opinion of him.

    Smells like rain here too - I'm staying at the vacation house on the lake and the water sounds and the smell of rain = sleepy Ted!

    I am very well. Trying to relax this weekend after a very stressful work week. It's not going so well, but I am well.

    From his farewell thread, I gathered that he moved to another PWE game's forum. Forgot which. Does not matter, really, since he does not log onto his in-game character until Shindra is doing something weird. Speaking of, I have not heard from him in a while too. I hope there is nothing wrong in the offices of PWE's PWI staff.

    I am sitting in my own home, smelling the rain-soaked air through my windows, which are ground-level, so I have that wonderful smell of Earth mixed in too. Maybe a nap is in store?

    Bed time is in store for me.
    Which is actually a bad thing, as it's 8 hours earlier than I usually go to bed. Lazy Saturday nights totally through off my sleep schedule.

    Can't someone from PWI staff create an auto-delete script for the forums to clean up random spam threads based on certain keywords that activates the deletion trigger? Would be more viable than trying to go through and sort through them all.

    They are not even able to fix the bugs in their own web site...

    Other than anyone moronic enough to click the link losing their account info, and causing us more spam threads, I cannot feel sympathy for the mentally incompetent forum user. Same as those that get **** because of the promise of shiny fields layered in lots of free gold.

    I don't think I've seen Fuzzy in weeks if not months. Kris hasn't been on very much lately either. If they aren't gonna mod when it gets like this and they are really needed, then maybe they should just admit that it's a bit too much for them atm and PWE should get some new people asap to help out. You can't do everything by yourself.b:surrender

    Considering we're on a voluntarily basis, I can definitely understand that real life comes first. I have taken time off the forums several times before because of personal matters, and I can't judge the other mods for doing the same. I fully support my teammates!

    The reason I am active so often is because I have the privilege of working (mostly) from home, but not everyone can do that.

    However, I do think that being the busiest of forums PWE has, we need far more active moderators and a bigger staff. We were nearly 5 a few months ago, and it worked out fantastically.

    We really need more mods now.

    I can't fault them for having real lives that come first either. I fully support the jobs you guys do even if I disagree with individual posts sometimes. It's a tough thing. But like you said, you need more people. I don't think their mods privileges should be revoked but maybe bring in like 3 new people instead of just one to replace Kritty. Because if they have real life obligations they can't of course can't do the job here, so there should be enough of you guys to be able to leave for a couple of weeks and the whole place not go to pot. There is more spam than new threads atm.
