Obey the moderator. (SLYT)
That's awesome.
I worked my way up from moderator to the lead admin of about an 8,000 member board a few years ago. It was fun, until I just about had a nervous breakdown dealing with a few personality conflicts that got out of control. Messageboard drama is about a million times worse when it's local and people meet up face to face regularly, cause in addition to anonymous flame wars, you have relationship drama. I felt like a high school vice principal. And of course I had a 'real job' I was supposed to be doing while my email is blowing up with people tattling on each other and demanding that I make rulings on various things.

This post could've been good with more links to Optimus Rhyme and other nerd core rappists.
As it is, it's a SLYT

mrnutty "Zabuni, I think your link may be wrong."
Nah, just refresh the page a bit. It'll be a bit of performance art starring him as the Spamming Newbie and mattacortamyn as the Unhumored Mod.
You should hum the song to yourself.

I mean, uh.... I... totally didn't get that. At all. I've never been that involved, really. Really!
