i think that is kinda what happend at the old place. except for the higher ups, the mods all stuck together and formed their own clique.

Have we shown any indication of that?

The mods get called out all the time. I've been called a douchebag by at least one person. GoChiefs is constantly being called a moron (deservedly so). One guy just called Fab a fag. LJ was called things I won't even mention on here in a PM.

All of the people on the other end are still on here.

Right. That was a certain few (JJ, NLCRFAN, AAF, etc) that would make up arbitrary rules and ban people for no reason or for disagreeing with them or whatever. A majority of the mods over there were alright.

Yeah, I like my mods and enjoy bullshitting with them but I'm not gonna bam someone for disagreeing with them or for calling them out on something.

I can't lie, other than a few, I have no clue who all the moderators are.

NL CR FAN = Greatest Moderator of all time, @WESMANTOOTH I'MMA LET YOU FINISH.

Let the "old" mods answer to that.

So what if they have a "clique". It's their site.

I find it very entertaining.

Unlike the other site, you won't be forced to leave... but it's not like it's hard to find another message board if you think this one sucks.
haha no, you just get told to get the fuck out...classy.

just because you arent banning people doesnt make you completely different from the old huddle. instead they get heckled maybe for example(yeah i know, the internet is serious business). either is just as stupid. i am in no way saying its happend yet. but i wouldnt say this site is completely different from the old place because anything goes here.

I don't understand what's going on here, what's the purpose?

Who actually takes the time to try and recognize who gets along with what mod, or which mods pal around the most, or whatever?
I'd much rather take the time and enjoy myself, than to take the time to process that junk!

At least it's being hashed out between the members and not being forced upon you by the mods.
Who cares about class, it's a message board.

I don't see how anyone can think this site is even remotely close to the old one. You couldn't get away with 3/4 of the stuff over there that you can here.

Yeah, not to mention, there isn't a whole lot of "modding" going on other than in the Politics forum. It is pretty much anything goes in this and the pro sports/college forums.

On a side note.....where are we having our "Moderators Only" monthly dinner this time?
