    Ireland,
    I called the thread "the bad atosphere in afterdawn" cause that's what I was talking about in my first post.
    I didn't mean that the atmosphere was allways bad I was just talking about areas were there is a bad atmosphere.

    I changed my thread title

    There will always be moaners and groaners and complainers; it comes with the territory, methinks.

    if someone thinks they're being 'bullied' they only have to report an 'offensive report' or PM a mod. As to policing, 'fraid it goes with the territory, there's a lot of tikes who have less than no respect for anyone

    "theoipod" Here is my log since joining May 3. "You have posted 50 messages to our discussion forums since you created your account on 3 May 2006. You have subscribed to 12 discussion threads so far today." Only got ants in my pants once, but sat back and understood that the anonymous nature of forums, and the internet, can be harsh. People don't think past the ends of their noses when typing away. They try to so hard to convince everyone else that they are right, reguardless. It can be very impersonal, so I have started to focus on trying to help and add a diffrent view point to new threads. And leave the, moaning and groaning to the people who are more concerned about themselves. If I can help at least one person with a problem, "which might seem trivial to me," "but may be an atom bomb to them." Then all of the negativity and bad atmosphere just fades away.

    ATMOSPHERE AROUND HERE

    [​IMG]

    Two guys are approaching each other on the sidewalk and both are dragging their right foot as they walk. As they meet, one looks at the other knowingly, points to his right foot and says, "Land mine, Vietnam, 1969." The other hooks his thumb over his shoulder and says, "Dog poop, 20 feet back, lookout."

    HEAVENLY THOUGHTS: Three buddies die in a car crash and they go to heaven to orientation. They are all asked, "When you're in your casket and friends and family are mourning you, what would you like to hear them say about you?". The first guy says, "I'd like to hear them say that I was a great doctor in my time and a great family man." The second guy says, "I'd like to hear that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a big difference in our children of tomorrow." The last guy replies, "I'd like to hear them say: "LOOK, HE'S MOVING!!!!!".

    Hey pulsar, lemme have a go at that boil with a needle. If that doesn't work then I'll have to use my teeth >:)


    theoipod,

    A lot of folks around here wonder how I made moderator :p Basically I just helped and helped and helped in the forums and was fairly well behaved. If you put in your time, know what you're doing and have a good rapport with the community in general as well as the mods (they're the ones who nominate) you certainly have a chance of being considered when the call comes for new mods.

    Moderating takes up most of mjy time here but I still get in the forums every now and again. Like creaky said we still have fun although it can get old dealing with so many idiots that give you a hard time for enforcing the rules.


    What would we do without you ireland? :)
