Well, its no secret; They're gone.
Any idea why? Or just... stopped logging on?
They moved on, due to a combination of growing up and getting more important things to focus on
Well, if Ert vanishes (Underneath the giant pink marshmallow of 1337 doom (Good times. Good times.)) again, we may need a new mod... *cough*Duskling*cough* Hmm...
I guess, but who among us can we truly trust, we all have our flaws...
Don't open unless you can handle my take on your main forum flaw.
[spoiler]Me- Wayyyyy too ADHD and crazy to really moderate.
Bugfartboy- noisy and often pseudo spams but we love him any ways
DD- often makes no sense, but still cool right
im2smart4u- smart but at times dare I say snobby
Duskling- erratic on/off time
Ranien/Brom/Stellfist/ others now absent- now absent
GCK- Very Game enthused, but not much in the way of the rest
Presentiment- not an effing chance!!!!!
[/spoiler]
If I forgot any one just tell me
Zack! He'd be great!

Zack! He'd be great!
I concur! Very nice fellow, though I will say he doesn't speak up much... either that, or I just haven't been paying any attention (Sorry Zack :().
Zack would be good. And I do not have a big religious beef with DD! We've come to a somewhat unspoken agreement.
Oh good I'll edit it.
You left out Zack.
I personally don't find that as a flaw, anything else perhaps?
What? Leaving Zack out of the list?

But that's what mods are supposed to do.
Yep. Ert is just awesome, though. And from what I remember from the old forums, KZ is too!
But I like mods that talk more than not. It's scary when they come out of nowhere.

Boo!.
Did I scared you? :P
I know that this is rather off-topic, but I couldn't resist.
(After all, you tried to get rid of me with a "giant pink marshmallow of 1337 doom".)
Going back on topic, I don't think that Ender ever registered on these (the new) forums.
And KZ is away since Sep/2010. I never heard from him since that time. He mentioned at that time that he will have more work... Perhaps it happened to him what happened to me: lots of work appeared and then I kept postponing coming here because I knew that I would like to catch up with the discussions and I needed more time that I had to do it properly. I eventually came back and decided that I wouldn't try to catch up.
Anyway, both of them are missed, and I hope they will appear someday.

[spoiler=My reactions]smarty and Dusklings flaws are both not really flaws that prevent them from modding effectively. Admittedly, smarty is somewhat hotheaded with the debating thing, and has personally said he shouldn't be a mod.[/spoiler]
I will concede that I rushed the reasons, but my point stands that though everyone's perfect everyone has flaws.
Think of another reason for me other then absent. I mostly lurk so you don't exactly know that I'm around. (KS isn't the only guest you know)
Makes no sense? ;)
However, I must say that my flaw is not my nonsensical character and use of language, but rather my all-too-common habit of ingraining myself in a conversation, letting my emotions and not my rational thought (the only type of thought a mod ought to have) decide my actions.
On the other hand, I might just have the right sense of humour for the job... nah.
[spoiler=for future reference]
I'm using these smileys as a raised eyebrow, not as a wink. If you see me using one of these, I'm just saying, "Hmmm...? Really?"[/spoiler]
Wait a moment! Ender's a person? So he/she designed those battles at PA1?
Yup. He was on the old forums.
I thought Ender battles were called Ender battles because they were at the end...
Alright everything's clear now. Thanks Buggy.
kz has gone for good... pity :/
As far as we know.
check his facebook! *rushes over to sinisterdesign facebook page*
Did ender even ever register on the new forums?
(To be honest, Duckling reminds me quite a bit of Ender)
If Duckling was Ender he would have said something to me by now. Right before the old forum was taken out of use we had just gotten into a full blown discussion over Ender's game.

I don't mean to offend you, XE (or rainen, whichever you prefer), but the main flaw preventing you from being a moderator is that you often tend to take things from the top of your head, often not doing any research or providing any credible sources whatsoever. My point is, if you don't think that the information you are posting is accurate, then that's a good reason not post that information in a debate. Also, you have, pretty rarely though, become somewhat childish in some debates or other places, refusing to accept that you or your information might be wrong, and just fighting the opposition to your last credible breath. The aforementioned childishness happens rarely, and if you took that in the wrong way, then a million apologies, but, other than that, you are cool and collect most of the time... most of the time that you are around, anyways. ;)
Now, back on topic. I really don't have much to say about KZ being gone other than it has sunk in, but he is still missed. I never knew Ender, but, judging from GCK's description of him, he seems like a very decent fellow, and I would have liked to meet him.

Ditto. Okay. I'm done in this thread, I think.

He had over 5000 posts on the old forum. Cool guy, active participant in the forum games.
And, as a comment on what the thread has strangely side railed into.
I think the only appropriate candidates for mods are Mike and Zackirus. Rarely involving themselves in debates, when they do involve themselves they always cite their facts, give strong good reasons for their beliefs, and do not make the attacks personal. These are attributes some members such as Smartypants and Duckling do not have.
Mike seems like an intelligent, polite fellow. I would say the same about Zack, but I haven't had enough interaction with him to know.
Deagonx: Thanks for your comments, but you need to fix your Double Post.
I double posted with the intent of bringing it to the top of the list. Otherwise, no one would have ever noticed the change.
I don't really call it a double post if the interval between posts is more than a couple of hours.
I agree that if Deagonx edited his previous message, the new content would probably be unnoticed.
My mistake then, I just saw the double post and the warning lights went off in my head. Maybe I'm not Mod material after all :P
No mention of Duskling nee Duskie-poo, or of Barzul?
Barzul isn't on that often. :/
Quote from: Mackirus on July 11, 2011, 10:54:10 AM
Barzul isn't on that often. :/
I beg to differ. Barzul manages to get online about once a week or so, despite having a life, as it seems. That looks about often enough to me, seeing as how KZ is completely gone.

Me old friend. I believe the new point is to find a mod. By the way when I see mod I see game modding/modification. Anyways finding a moderator might not be also hard instead of finding who has the least faults try looking for the most quality. KZ and Ert are good examples ney great.
Dullahan why have I never seen your name before?
I was PinkPanzer. Now you tell me(next few words are slow for effect) what is your ... Favorite ... Color.
Brown. :P

Then why such a purple picture Deagonx?
I should stop this will eventually be spam.
