    what happened to the mods?

    Mods, check in here. How many of you are still active? I say we go for new mods as well. Tom, you might have a tight leash as to who you allow to mod, but if you only have two or three active mods on a weekly basis, how are you supposed to keep AO a place that people want to come to?

            I see Army posting from time to time....I am guessing he is still a mod. Haven't seen Mark in a minute.

            Holiday break?

              I never said you werent doing a great job Tuna, Im just thinking if Tom and the mod crew wants to keep AO a place where people want to come, maybe its time to share some of the load and recruit some new mods... All I have to say, is that 2 active mods, and an occasional former owner/admin isnt enough to browse through the 1000 some posts we have everyday.

              I nominate Fixel, because of his oh so thorough spam sweep steps he laid out from GT's "Can I get an IP Ban on..." thread. I can find it if necessary. All I know is that with those methods in place, we wouldnt have spam, and thats the only thing im really caring about right now. Tuna, I dont know how you got yourself to be a mod, but isnt custom mag building a little time consuming? Perhaps its not quite your calling anymore. Either way, Thanks Tuna, you have no idea how unruly AO would be without mods, especially you. Modding, as I have seen, is a thankless job, but here is one persons appreciation, thank you.

                Thats all you can do, thanks.

                That wouldn't suprise me any. What ever really changes? I does get boring.

                      I'm honored to be nominated, but i'm not that long a member of AO. Also the method i use to keep www.paintballforum.nl clean requires me to access the adminCP, something you do not just give anybody rights to since they will have full controll of the forum. Given to the wrong person they could alter/damage the forum, delete/ban accounts at their own discretion, or worse. I was a mod for that forum for a while and they gave me the adminCP rights to clean out the forum of all the spambots. Since the forum is owned by a paintball shop, the other mods (mostly employees) don't have the time to do so. I am not the only non-employee that moderates there, we also have a few others that help out with newsposting and event planning that also have moderator rights. (don't know to what level, never checked lol)

                      I can understand that the current moderators don't always have the time to moderate the forums, since everybody has other things to do aswell. I'm alot online because i have time to do so. I have a full time job but no wife/GF of kids, so i have time to spare. (for now)

                      I would like to help out, but i am not familiar with the forum sofware and its possibilities and im relatively new to the forum so i don't deserve to be a mod.

                            The mods have been there when it was necissary, but even though its the holdays they still show little signs of activity.
                            (and whats with you people and the banstick jokes?)
                            mods aren't that harsh on the bans.
