Re: Obama Won!

I mostly agree with you there, Matt. There are some policies out there that make it easier to slack off in poverty. I have friends that are still doing it with Social Security, and it does make me feel bitter that they wont better themselves and make a living. However, I have read (in my company's l...

Re: Obama Won!

Lets not have any more personal attacks. I don't mind some finely detailed debating as long as it stays friendly. We all went into this politcal race with ignorance, but with some conversation and reading, anyone can have a carefully decided opinion that wont cause more painfully violent reading. Ba...

Re: More moderators needed?

I think that as long as we have enough moderators that the boards are checked once or twice a day, it should be enough. I'd definately feel more at ease too.

There are admins that have been absent for half a year or more. I think that would be considered excessive. Of course we can keep Mr. Brownrigg on as an admin. He's the founder after all. :D

Re: More moderators needed?

On a side note, and extending from Baphnedia's idea, I think we should have board-specific mods, because then we can make a lot of people happy without giving too much power to a small group too soon. There seems to be a lot of people that deserve to be moderators, but some may be more suited for c...

Re: More moderators needed?

What I think makes a good moderator encompasses traits that can effecitvely combat elitism. - Fair non-biased sense of judgement with no favoritism. - Never using admin abilities for pratical jokes or personal revenge on members. Only to enforce rules. - Mature, level-headed/ down to earth, and rare...

Re: The worst people on-line

This includes any games related to Racing, Guitar Hero, DDR, arcade style shooters, and most MMORPGs where Player-Killing is allowed. I typically stick to social MMOs, simulato...

Re: Food Alert: Melamine found in Candy

Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine. Cows that eat feed that was treated with cyromazine can develop the chemical in their bloodstream, and even in their milk. Larger animals are less likely to show effects of Mel...
