I have seen several posts by this 'Q' person. Every time I see his posts, and the picture, I cannot help but hear John de Lancie. Makes me smile every time.

Any other thoughts?

    It's Stormshade in RP mode, it's pretty funny, he's got De Lancies characterisation pretty much spot on

    Yeah, I do too.

    I thought it was great when he posted in the RPG thread (even if only to move it to Tenforward), but unfortunately, he only posted the once, and didn't accept responsiblity for blowing up parts of someone's ship.

    To be honest I don't think there is any other moderator with the panache, that certain je ne sais quoi that Q has.

    If I recall correctly, Stormy said he only uses Q when he wants to be the final word. I've generally only seen him on serious flame wars and usually you will get a "warning" from Stormy himself prior to the Q smackdown.

    When Q arrives, there will be infractions.

    I still like the (seemingly copied/pasted) comment he uses to lock threads. "Silly humans, I must destroy this one..." lol It's Freekin' great!

    I noticed a change in how Q is RP'd since Brandon took over. So I believe BranFlakes is used when community building, PR, positive stuff is posted. And when the hammer needs to fall he brings out Q.

    That lets Brandon keep a positive image while enforcing the rules at the same time. Probably lessons learned from the time when crackdown style moderation was all over the Dev Tracker. It was not received well by the community.

    I know that you're probably asking yourself: "why would a brilliant, handsome, dashingly omnipotent being like Q want to spend time in these forums with you Humans?" Well, someone has got to do the job, or at least do the job well. There is nothing like being able to snap a few fingers to make something happen.

    Tempting fate Cappy? Because your mallet is no match for the awesomeness that is Q. Either the one played by Jon De Lancie or the one played by Desmond Llewelyn. ;)

    Q

    As many times as I have seen people impersonating famous voices/faces/characters, I think yours is the only one who;s original voice goes through my head every time. I have no problems with imagining John de Lancie speaking those words.

    Bravo, Q. Thanks for bringing us some smiles. :)

    Picard: "What do you want, Q?"

    Q: "Pay attention, 007, I'm only going to say this once. This is a poison gas spoon, activated by coming into contact with Earl grey tea with milk. You see, it's the unique tannins in the tea when combined with the lactose of the milk that breaks down the outermost layer, causing the gas to be released. Now take look.... Here you are, Jensen!"

    Redshirt: "Thank, Q, Earl Grey tea with milk is my favorAUUUGHH"

    Picard: "..." *straightens shirt*

    Its not stormshade anymore. Some one else took the regins. Although Q could be a little more creative in his wonton distruction of Zombies. He just poofs them out every time.

    Would you prefer an Aston Martin with twin .50 caliber machine-guns mounted behind the headlamps? Would you prefer I include a smoke screen system placed in the boot?
