|
|
There was an age when I would visit the aLp forum multiple times a day. Accordingly, it made sense that I should be a moderator. These days...I check in once a week, if that. My life is just too busy. Therefore, I really think that I should pass on the mod mantle.
I will say that I had a lot of fun times here on aLp, as well as much mindless tedium (e. g., deleting spam accounts manually). I'll probably still be around, but I won't check in nearly as often as I used to. So let's be about the business of selecting a new moderator!
The Rules
We'll begin with open nominations. Just post the name of someone (possibly yourself) whom you would like to be a moderator. All nominations must be seconded to count.
After a week, I will add a poll to this topic with the names of all those individuals who have been nominated and seconded, and you will have another week to vote. In the event of a tie, we will have a run-off vote.
OK; get nominatin'. _________________ Context is everything.

To be fair this is a sad day. Necessary, but sad. Though I'd suggest not dropping the title. You may not be moderators in practice now but you guys definitely have earned tenure. This pandaman salutes you both.
As for my nominations, I would have put Chainsaw up for the job, but seeing as he hasn't posted here since last November, yeah... So in his absence I nominate the Oirishman and the Black Widow Spider. I think it's about time they get to actually use their red markers on the offending material. They're regular visitors and they both know what they're doing. It may also be amusing to the see the latter devour the former. _________________

Basically what I'm thinking. I'm just worried that, whenever whoever gets his/her powers, s/he'll stop showing up.
If this is a goodbye as well, I hope you guys don't forget about this place. |

Thanks, Simon!
Well, of course I'll pop by every now and then probably to tell the new mods that that's not how we did it in my days, young man! (Kidding) So it's not really goodbye. But with my heavy teaching duties and other things going on, I think this really is a good moment to pass it on. I suggest you pick a European & someone from the Americas, just as it is now, but that's just me trying to rule beyond the grave, as we say in Dutch, so ignore me if you want to.
I'll say something more inspired on the day the new ones will be i stalled. _________________ The Justified Ancient of Mu Mu |

I haven't been here long enough to really nominate anyone, but everyone mentioned so far has been cool to me. _________________

I think Simon's nominations are sound. Although... truth be told, I think it is also a way for Simon to get Ipsa on the forums more.  _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

@Blaster and Munan: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
as for Simon's nominees, i agree of course, BUT i actually would like to nominate Simon himself. i know his decency will make him say he's not the right person for it, but that's exactly what makes him the right person for it. _________________ i have no time for anal love

Gosh, the end of an era! I hope you guys don't completely disappear from the community, you'd be sadly missed.
I'd like to second Sal's nomination of Simon. Also, I think the thieving Polack himself would do a good job. So would Ipsa. How many nominations am I allowed?  _________________ Da Fro-mastah of da aLp Forums!

I say Aurelyn and Sal.
Or maybe that one guy with the terrible spelling who asked to be a moderator after he made 3 posts...  _________________

Actually the thing was from Scent of a Woman. I'm leaving A Few Good ALPers for the next Great Justice.

See above, General Obvious. I agreed with your choices. My guess is that you were in such shock that you thought it a lie and disregarded the post. _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |

Nowadays I basically just skip your posts and assume you're challenging whatever I say.
This is why I shouldn't be mod. _________________

I never said you should be a mod. Yet again, I find myself agreeing with you. I should buy a lottery ticket.
But seriously, I doubt you would be able to be impartial. Besides, if you tried I would easily tire of your rants and ravings. And what fun would that be?
The Irish is here frequently enough and he can be impartial. Ipsa, likewise. I would consider Sal although he isn't here enough and Aramor, well, I think if he took the job of mod seriously, we would lose some of the humor of his posts and threads. Spidey Chick may have been a good choice were she here more frequently. Also, I question his ability to be impartial and be able to Mod himself . He has plenty of Web-skillz, and takes his summers in Off-topicness, but those are my complete thoughts and opinions. _________________ "If wishes were horses, we'd all be eating steak." |
