 TWA Moderator
Might want to pull my name as the moderator of the TWA archives. For some reason it is still showing me there. Guessing my two posts in moderator's section were noticed.

Even stranger, is that I still have moderator access to that part of the forum. It must have just been the "Moderator" posting section from which access was removed. Housekeeping is such a major pain, and computers are sometimes no different.

 Re: TWA Moderator
Sorry, I thought the problem was just that you were still in the moderators group, not that you were still a moderator of a forum. We'll get it cleaned up.

 Re: TWA Moderator
Thanks. I know people are busy, but there needs to be someone that has the desire to handle the TWAs. Helix did a heck of a job on his database, and he might be the obvious person to handle it.

 Re: TWA Moderator
Yeah, I'm sure it's difficult to moderate the TWA archive. Those TWA authors can be such rabble rousers!

If that was meant for me, I am neither qualified, nor do I have the political skills to be completely unbiased. Therefor, I would make a CHITY moderator...laff. I say what I think to be right. There are other moderators here that are in the same boat, but no one cares. JMO

I think he's saying no skills required :/

I think he's saying no skills required :/ Either way, my feelings are that if someone decides to take upon themselves the responsibility of a moderator, they are representing the game its self, as well as EIS.. and as such, making an Butt out of themselves on the forum reflects on both. I make an Butt out of my self here a lot. Sometimes unintentionally, sometimes to make a point, sometimes simply to ruffle feathers. Either way, I dont want to stop, therefor, I will not represent the game or the forum. the state of things, and the powers that lead it... not anything that I want to be part of anyway. seem at this point, with the peeps that are in charge, this site does more harm than good. sad to say, but true.

 Re: TWA Moderator
It serves its purpose. I honestly don't get that many complaints. Those who don't care for it stay away. It's that simple.
The worst forum I have ever been on was the eBay forum. Nasty bunch of trolls there. I think the tone of this forum is as good as it can be given the community. I don't have many people knocking down the door to be moderators here. Those who do have my appreciation. Do you really think we'd be better off shutting the doors?

 Re: TWA Moderator
People are who they are, the title of Moderator doesn't make them nice or mean. The hard part is finding willing, competent, and nice people to mod... it's usually people with 1 or 2 of these characteristics  I think that the other scripters and I get a lot out of the helpers/scripts forum. This board is a tremendous resource to us, and I feel it's the right place for script/helper discussions, vs. a TWX forum hosted elsewhere for example. I don't delve too much into the other forums, but the comment about more harm than good certainly doesn't apply across the board.

 Re: TWA Moderator
Hey, it's an instant Moderator title without any real work ;)
If anyone is seriously interested (and I assume you are, LoneStar), PM Mob and he'll take care of it.

 Re: TWA Moderator
HEY! I'm a nice guy that steals cars for a living. I know absolutely NOTHING, especially about TWA files?
Because of that, I'd be totally uncorruptible! (or is that incorruptible?)
