Thoughts and memories

[ezdays]

The moderators are pretty laid back and most of the members are pretty tolerant. Or else the moderators suppress all the dissent before I get on at 9 pm.
Not like another forum I frequent where multiple threads on the same topic are severely spoken to and suppressed and merged. (can you imagine a comment "There is already a thread wishing Mikey a Happy Birthday dated December 26, 2007"?)

That's one problem we're going to address, our laid back moderators. Since the opening of Big Blue, they've had so little to do that they are constantly laying around watching TV and eating Kit-Kats. It's gotten so bad that we've now got three, yes, three candy machines in the Big Blue break room and they get restocked daily. Well, as of Jan 1, we are pulling out all those cushy couches and lounge chairs and turning to break room into an exercise gym. We have hired a full-time nutritionist/exercise instructor and have set goals for everyone. The plasma TV will be locked onto the Fitness channel and the candy machines (especially the one in Ed's office) will be stocked with healthy snacks such as celery bars, tofu sticks and watercress rollups. Big Blue is the ultimate lean, mean modeling machine and we intend that our entire staff will follow suite.

This is all your fault people. You're not causing enough of a ruckus to keep our moderators busy. No sniping, no off-the-wall attacks, just peace and harmony among friends and fellow modelers. And for this, we all thank you. We couldn't ask for a better bunch of people to hang out with, nor a better group of moderators who all have little to do here thanks to you all. Like Mikey says, we left all the bad karma behind, and it's a refreshing difference from these other places, or what our old place became.

After careful consideration, we might let one of the candy machines stay in the break room, once in a while, a spammer slips in and the mods might need that sugar rush to deal with them.

We've got a few bad memories from the old place, but if we go back far enough, they're outweighed by the good ones from a long time ago and what we have here now. Most of the mods we have here stuck with us through thick and thin for all these years, and our appreciation for them knows no bounds.
