Star Crossed 33 Posted September 26, 2006 Thankyou. I may not be a ter for long, I'm really not worthy of the assignment, but this quote will remind me of my time in this lofty office...

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted September 26, 2006 Thankyou. I may not be a ter for long, I'm really not worthy of the assignment, but this quote will remind me of my time in this lofty office...

Banshees Scream 110 Posted September 27, 2006 What the heck is going on? Mr.Hopkins got promoted. At this time he seems to be in a very deep state of confusion, yet appreciation. I think he will get back to being himself sometime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted September 27, 2006 Given the all out Tempus vs BS vs Windsor war they'll need Star Crossed because there's no guarantee the other three will all be alive in a week. Congratulations Star Crossed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope Clive Dunn f****n drops dead next week. I would get good humor out of that, then you wouldn't have any character. Your name wouldn't make sense. I make you sound so helpless. Your life here will actually end with death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted September 28, 2006 What the heck is going on? Mr.Hopkins got promoted. At this time he seems to be in a very deep state of confusion, yet appreciation. I think he will get back to being himself sometime soon. Thank you BS, is it a case of the chicken ovulation boiler turned enthusiatic custodian? Although if I may be so bold, I reckon replacing 'enthusiastic custodian' with 'sexually excited football player who wears the No.1 jersey' could successfully convolute the phrase even further, without losing any of the required accuracy! Oh, and in answer to your question, yes it is the case, although I'm not sure whose idea it was. (re-reads own post...) Giving up smoking and simultaneously moving onto decaffeinated tea & coffee may not have been my brightest idea.... Thank god for cannabis, alcohol & class 'A's to see me through, although not so useful when I'm at work, apparently they're frowned upon in the workplace.

Gunjaman5000 30 Posted September 30, 2006 I feel the time is long-overdue to officially declare my position; I wish for all Moderaters to be stripped of their "powers" and returned to the same level of ignominy as the rest of us huddled, unwashed masses. If anyone can offer me a decent explanation as to their raison d'être, I will accept that they are a valid institution. That old chestnut "so they can delete/manage their erroneous posts" doesn't hold any water with me; if they are whoring too much and too badly, they should be banned, not given powers to cloak their whoredom. I do not believe that any of the 3 current Moderaters (Windsor, Tempus Fugit and Banshees Scream) possess the wisdom, self-control or posting class to be considered as anything other than ordinary members. These are not people upon whom we want to bestow Moderator powers, so why are we pretending that they are? Why should they have the right to warn, kick or ban other ordinary members? The answer is simple; they shouldn't. Get rid of them all, and get rid of them NOW! Vote YES to Strip! In any case, do vote; it is your democratic right and your civic duty! Changed your mind yet SC?

Admins will receive a salary as soon as the deadbeat members pay their dues. About the same time Camilla gets a Playboy centerfold, I'd imagine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
