Always in there with the quickest answer, our SecretMaster [/QUOTE]Damn straight, when its not needed, I don't give a huge explanation. If you can make a simple analogy, do it.

All the mods here are older people (not old, older) so you'll never see a teenage mod on here, not fair I think [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Not necessarily...Ertai was a moderator here (BG, BG2 and Gen Discussions) a year or so ago, and Dundee's doing a great job with the BG forums at the moment. It's maturity, not age, that's the key. [img]smile.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]That's my point though Memnoch, usually maturity comes with age so you'll never see a younger moderator on the board, if so, it'll be rare. [/QUOTE]Thats not always the case, I'm one of the most mature ppl in my grade, and i'm 13. But who cares if your a mod, sure its flattering but imo, many ppl from forums (not necassirly this 1) want to be a mod cuz they want respect and some form of power, but thats just my theory...

I came to my Modship via the now archived Darkstone forum, them Gen Con, and now I am sort of a semi-legendary "Mod without portfolio"

As for maturity, just check out Stealthys
