Everyone knows the fremen likes to impart salt of the earth wisdom in simple terms and short prose, and sometimes it just so happens I'm able to do so in 2 words or less. So why can't a fremen catch a break here and we get rid of the 10 character limit?
Oh yeah, and anjin-san only posts twice a month and that's just to lock threads that haven't violated any rules but offend him personally.

i agree with the anjin-san being mod when he rarely posts and when he does, its to lock something =/
but the 10 character limit isnt too bad i say
And this is why we needs more admins and slightly less mods. The only one who can do anything about this is Dennis, and he has other things on his mind.

Eh, i like the idea of dennis being the only one with the power to ban, it makes for good checks and balances.
Yea, the 10-char limit is ghey, but it can be bypassed just by putting other chars in white text. Tedious,i know, but it gets the job done.
Yet if Dennis leaves for a week, and we get two of those bots that literally spam up every thread in the forum, we are ****ed.
Not to mention we are running an old version of vB. Anyone pissed and skilled enough could make us explode, which makes me feel uncomfortable.

All of this is up to Dennis, hopefully he'll be checking into the forums soon enough. I think he lurks here a good bit without actually posting a whole lot.
It would be funny if Dennis is actually disguised as a member we all know and trust.

Is dennis the head administrator here? Sorry if that sounded retarded if he is, but I've just been here for a few days.
And on the subject, can't all administrators ban? I think if this Dennis approve of the member to the needed extent, that he should choose and dis-choose any administrator or moderator. Just a sugestion, since I don't think it's good to give autocratic power to someone who as some of you hint, only comes by once in a while.
If he's gone, spambot's and spam raiders gallore may invade with no one around with the authority to completly stop them.

heheeheh Dennis is GP and the main admin some of the mods help him with how to work the form but Dennis who runs gamepolitics as well has a normal life and is not a net nerd and his php skills are not the best.
If you know how to easily implement counter messuers or other general suggestions post them in the Suggestions form,I cant even handle HTML anymore my skillz are lacking *L*

Holy zombie jesus on a pogo stick, we're screwed!.....Without Dennis, we could get Annilated by hackers or spammers........Maybe i should open a poll.....on if there were to be another admin, who it would be...
I mean, i think that if Theory? Was a admin, i wouldn't last two seconds....*gulp* no offence to him of course.
I dunno if Theory? is familiar enough with vB for that. O_O
