Mods: Ok how can we help?

Nathan: there is going to be lots of people on this site one day and It needs some structure to run it you guys will be like my Sheriffs

MOD Cole: So I get to wear a badge?

Nathan: Anyway lots of contractors will join up and I just need some help keep everyone civil and on track you guys want to help.

MOD Atlantic: This doesn't sound easy Nathan were talking about Contractors here. How much does this pay.

Nathan: Pay? no no I am doing this to help the industry we do this to help guys out and hang out and have fun. Do you see where I am going with this?

MODS: Click, Click, Click,Click, Click, Click

Nathan: ring ring ring ring Nathan calling Back

MODS: Hello, hello, Hello, Nathan it sound like you said free and you got disconnected after that.

Nathan: Listen guys I know it’s Hard to see it now you got to have a vision. Years from now you guys will thank me for this wonderful opportunity

Mods: Ok we give it a shot But if it gets to stressful or guys get out of hand were out. We have enough stress and we don't need any more.

Nathan: It’s all done via the web, how stressful could it be anyone gets out of hand we just ban them ok

Mods: ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok, ok,



Fast forward to 2009


Nathan: Hows it going guys I am about to go out of town let me know if you need help.

Nathan: Packs his bags and Flies back home. Calls up all the mods

Mods: Nathan man this sounded good in 2003 but these cyber punks are off the hook you can have this internet stuff back we are going back to doing less stressful stuff


Nathan: what could be less stressful than this, Running a bunch of guys on the internet.?

Mods: BEING A CONTRACTOR all the mods leave except 2

Nathan: ED, Cole you guys staying?

MOD ED: No I am leaving but I still can't believe we did this from our computer
MOD Cole: I never got that damn Badge

The END




I hope everyone finds this amusing. Just trying to cheer everyone up and break the tension. I love this place, you guys just need to relax and take it easy. Appreciate Nathan and the Moderators for all their efforts and keep the jokes civil. I myself will start to behave a bit more. Contribute to this fine establishment. I will only pick on the how much does this call threads

How long have you been taping our phone calls? You sob!

Just to let everyone know, I am still pissed about the badge.



Guys lets put what happened last night behind us, I know everyone goes crazy every once in a while, but this isnt the place to do it. Remember we are all guests here, its a public forum that is privately owned. For you that dont agree with the rules, go out and try and find a better forum that is related to our industry and get back to me.

I thought that was frigging hilarious.

I am really grateful that I missed out last night though.

I can just get glimpses of the carnage and I have poor vision.

It's just the Fricking Internet Guys.

Don't sweat the small stuff and this BS is all small stuff.

I enjoy mayhem as much as the next alleged perpetrator...but it was late and was time for me to go.


So today I log on ....and all I could see in my mind's eye was this:

rbs has too much time on hos hands and as for the mods, good job. i know you go unappreciated a lot but this is an awesome site and the knowledge lurking around is endless. if you can just figure out how to title a post so that someone will actually open it.
