I miss being an admin...

Post by Halfshell »

Seriously. It's been how long now? No clue how long since I said "sod it" turned myself off and went and hid in a sleeper identity... gods, that was fun. If only to see how long it took people to figure it out.

I miss it, though.

I miss the being able to post in locked topics.

I miss the being able to lock topics.

I miss the being able to just magic a thread into another forum rather than getting irritated waiting for Hound to do his job.

I miss being able to see exactly who's online, rather than just the people who've ticked the visible option.

I miss being able to rearrange the forum order and see how long it took people to notice.

I miss being able to merge and seperate topics at will, like some mystical shaman type blokey.

I miss being able to ban Myles for kicks.

I miss having to play by the rules, be on best behaviour and babysit all of the ****ing morons and having the very life sucked out of me by it.

No, wait... scratch that one.

I miss being able to antagonise the really ****ing annoying people to the point where they get commit a bannable offence, then playing the "no, you ban him... I banned the last one... no, it's cool - I'll take the next moron... really, it's your turn" game with Erik and Matt.

I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain.

No, wait... that's a song...

****, I even miss the groupies who praised my every word solely because I had the power to ban them if they displeased me. Now they just follow me around because I'm Batman...

Christ, I really wish I could ban somebody right now... the bulk of you really don't get it. There's a kick to it... like that first cigarette in months... you feel like an absolute God.

I miss being God. :(

[EDIT] Yeah, so, what awesomeness do you miss about me being an admin?

Most of those things you don't have to be an admin to do...

Well, not any more, nooooo...

You get all the power without having to take responsibility - you just refer it to the people who outrank you on paper. You're just a big coward, Mr Cowardly Coward.

Curious about the "most" thing, though...

What do I miss about you being an admin? Not much.

And I certainly don't miss the sycophants. Cliffy had a fair few of them a few months back. It was dead annoying, I have to admit.

Wait, are you asking to be put back on staff?

Hell, if you want to be I don't see why not.

Y'know, if you were actually being serious...

Hey, you're just a Mod. Don't go getting ideas above your station... ;)

And er... my custom rank? Oh yeah, but apart from my custom rank, what did the Ro... Brendocon ever do for us?!

He banned Blaster. Twice. At least once in a totally hilarious fashion.

And wasn't it Brend who kept editing Starscreamer's melodramatic topic titles?

I like that it's mainly the RPG staff that are frightened of me. Go! Run! Hide in your little corner of the sky! Away from the big bad Bat!

Or, y'know... not.

If I were still an admin, half the board would be underwater by now...

Demanding, in some instances... I think that's where I'm going wrong...

Denyer, probably. Editing topic titles was never really something I was keen on... I just used to nuke the morons. Still try it, actually...

It's kind of pointless being a mod now, because people are behaving themselves much better than in the olden days. Sure, you still get the occasional ****wit, but none of the ongoing interboard drama and mass-bannings.

We also don't have our retarded, furry political punching bag anymore. Not that I'm asking for that waste of human tissue to return.

I was going to call your ass on having two pics in your sig, but either that was apparently never a rule on this board, or it wasn't put in writing.

Your ban will come.
