Ditto. Well, I always think I've met them all, then realize I haven't met Dwayne or Jen. Just feels like I have. :)

I don't often venture this far down the list of topics.

Thanks mods :clap: for keeping the sandbox clean and safe. :D

:topic: wrong thread, my friend .. :wink: :P

oh, and Midge has a friend :?: seriously?? :shifty: :wink:


Alright.

Regardless of my previous comment, I also commend the work of the mods. While this is a pretty civil forum, there has been a few "incidents" in the past. The mods have shown restrain and fairness in their decisions.

lol

the mods don't have the power to do this--only Jen and I do. And we have no desire to ban any of those words.

Long live Spankies and the Bounce-O-Meter!

Thank you to the admins and the mods for a job well done except for ChrisL's very valid criticisms. Holly, the mods can still delete any posts containing the words in ChrisL's post above!

Queen Holly,

I am thinking the Mods are doing a very excellent job.

I believe I could be a very good Mod.
I am not judgemental, I am friendly.
I believe in equal rights ...for humans, doggies...and even cats.

However...I am not willing to be a Mod for free...I would insist on treats...I think Sammy and I should be mods...I think we would be an excellent choice for the next "round"

Respectfully yours,

C-Moss

I was a moderaor on another forum but now that I'm older I'm a
retro-ator

I'm just new here but I have to echo the sentiments of previous posters.

It is largely a thankless job and it does take dedication and time comittment.

Kudos to all of you! :clap:
