that's interesting, dbest. because if ASKING was all it takes, i might have done it myself. and i'll tell you what, as vitriolic as i am online--i would still be 100x better moderator than LW.

AO is still around, i was given a timeout. that's how you know s**t's f**ked up.

Asking isn't all it takes, you have to be approved by a lot of the moderators, as well as the Admins... I do believe almost everybody else was asked. I just happen to ask for classified (think about why I would ask for that position), and we all know not to many people want to deal with that.

i see. so you had to ask AND not already have inadvertently pissed LW off. yeah...real foolproof, equitable system there. :rolleyes:

You think that LW and I are buddies or something... I said a lot of the moderators, not all of them ;)

i never said you were. but i'm pretty damn sure that LW's stamp of DISAPPROVAL is a death sentence on anyone's chance at mod. so yes, you pretty much have to go down on him.

you know though...i've thought about it before. as much as there is "some" appeal there, i've always appreciated not having to restrain myself--something that being a moderator would ruin. turns out...i'm being forced to censor myself anyway. funny how F'd up LW is that way.

I will say being a moderator, you really have to be careful what you say, even in chatter. I am sure that is true here also. "I can't lie" (from the movie Liar, Liar)... LW is the one I asked on how to become a moderator, but he wasn't a moderator at that time...

You change change the theme dark to light by clicking in the listbox at the bottom left of this page. Makes it a whole lot easier to read.

You can also set your default style (light or dark) in your profile.

Well that unfortunately is LW way. He does like putting words in other peoples mouths. And now that he is the super mod no one can say different, as he can edit as he sees fit before anyone else can see what was written about him. 3si is his site now never forget that. I will not post there as long as he is a mod. I wonder if he knows how many people he is chasing away? I wonder if the owners know how many people have left because of him?

As for AutoForums, yeah they're shitty banner ad viruses were ridiculous. Actually, all the advertising was pretty over the top. Even if you were a paid member they'd sneak those little ad items in between posts.

I haven't been back over there except to check PMs every couple days - sounds like a lot of drama, too much drama for the internet . . .

Ahhh OK, you had me a little confused. Later on I started thinking that might have been what you were talking about.

At least some of us are trying to keep things going, and make things better. Instead of dousing the fire with gasoline, try throwing some retardant on it instead. I'll throw Alias on it, that may help.

I haven't had any big dealings with LW personally, he seemed heavy-handed on byebye_sti, who I bought from a few times and never had an issue, but as an admin I'm sure he had access to info that I didn't.

But ... WTF? Did he SERIOUSLY say he would throw somebody on a fire? How is that even a REMOTELY acceptable action from an admin? No smiley faces, no context of joking in the post. I say we all flag that post as unfitting of a moderator (http://www.3si.org/forum/f174/3si-ne...ml#post6039635) and see what happens (I'd wager on nothing). I just reported it (yellow ! button).

Jba, are you suprised???

Look at his name!!! It's Lord fucking WARLOCK. That guy is all about demons and devils. Him throwing someone on a fire is like an orgasm for him.

I know everyone has a lot of fond memories from 3SI. I know I do.

Here at 3SGTO you have a forum where you are welcome its the same people that your fond memories were generated with.

Rather than spending time beating your head into issue on another site why not spend that time and energy trying to make this place better?

Doesn't hold completely true.. LW tried to explain why is RT was better choice than my SRT8.. I know people will get pissed for this one, BUT, its like saying "I'm glad I got the SL, it was a really good value choice on the VR4"

LW is a dick, and small dick at that.

Damn, I missed that one. For the record, he told me he couldn't swing/justify the cost of the SRT8.

There's a glitch with the server clock. Growing pains, it'll get sorted. :)
