Meet The Mods

right-track · 05-12-2009, 03:17 PM

Hello,

The following is a slight introduction to the people who truck through these boards on a regular basis, deleting spam, adjusting polls, and redirecting threads to their appropriate forums.
Despite the corrupting nature of power, we're actually fairly decent human beings and we've provided the WIPS below as an attempt to open dialogue, bridge some gaps, and remove the walls that traditionally exist between mods and the new joins.

If you have any questions, ask us.

If you have concerns, PM us.

Best of luck, happy posting, and take it easy.

The Mod Squad.
