I agree that it's tough to find the right people. Perhaps an Abysian-style llamabred program to develop new mods is called for?

What will we do with all the foulspawn?

I am open to suggestions, that I can pass on. PM me.

Not to sound pessimistic but, first you'd have to find someone who should be able to do the job as it should be done. Someone trustworthy, objective, someone the community likes. Needless to say there aren't too many people like that left. Next you need to persuade that member to actually take on the moderator duties. I don't think that will be easy to do with all that happened so far. A lot of people, especially vets and long time members carry grudges against Shrapnel. And last, you need to find someone who the Shrapnel staff will actually be willing to have as a moderator here, which probably eliminates all of the people here.
So I don't really see this happening. Though I hope I'm wrong!

I just think this all happened about two-three years too late to make any difference.

Of course not. Foulspawn are quantity. Quantity over quality.

As Patton said, Quantity has a quality all of its own.

That is attributed to Stalin btw.

I nominate Gandalf Parker for the position of a mod.

I think he's got the best temperament of this forum...

For a moment there, before I fully read your post, I thought you were equating Gandalf with Stalin. My first reaction was "nah, he's more of an Eisenhower, with that penchant he has for planning out massive campaigns". Doh!

And my temperament was much better. The first time I did it.

Thanks for the vote. But I was one of the first mods here. I stepped down due to medical and financial concerns. Things are looking better, but not that much better that Id want to take this on again.
