[eggzbacon]

Who's the best moderator in Toucharcade?

salsamd
Hodapp
Zincous
NotYou
or
wastedyuthe

PS:
VeganTnT
Prab
and
DaveMc99 do not count ;)

[CDubby94]

WildCowboy

[eggzbacon]

WildCowboy

Thought he was an admin?

EDIT:
Yep he's an admin, just checked

[pharmx]

How do you determine the "best". Is this a popularity contest? :D

[Big Albie]

Hey eggz, really?

[Zincous]

Hodapp isn't a moderator either, he is an Admin.

And Wastedyuthe isn't a moderator anymore either.

[Burton]

This is a horrible thread lmao...

[DaveMc99]

DaveMc99 do not count ;)

:eek: Checks to see what moderator powers I have now :D

[sundance kid]

i would think zincous, im not gonna vote because i think its kinda messed up
but imo zincous puts input into most threads, and seems like he knows alot,, and ive never had a problem with him
hodapp is nice too but hes a admin, not moderator
even though he recently told me to get out of the basketball thread hahaha

and why dont the other 3 count?

Thank you :D.....yeah I'm not voting either. And looks like other people aren't as well.

I would guess the other 3 don't count because they've been mods for one day?
EDIT: yeah that's what eggz said right before I posted this.

[Eli]

I generally focus more on the front page, especially now with the new moderators. Besides, the TA community as a whole usually doesn't require much moderation. Most thread reports are due to people posting in the wrong areas, or generally being dumb about something. (And of course the constant supply of spammers, but there's not much you can do about that short of adding CAPTCHA's everywhere.)

PARTY ON.

[Booch138]

Zincous once wrote me up for thread bumping or some sh!t, so I vote for him. rofl he's my hero.

[Shokz]

Oh dear god i hate CAPTCHAs... Especially when it's some jumbled up rubbish that looks like someone sneezed on the screen... Seriously, some of those words are not words :p

I'm liking the sound of SQUIGL-PIX though - see demonstration in link;

Yeah, I've seen those before. The problem is, people know how captchas work. Once you add weird drawing mechanics, you're going to have all kinds of failures just because of people being dumb. As cool as the drawing captcha is, that's probably too hard for your average internet user.

[DaveMc99]

that's probably too hard for your average internet user.

Hmm something to consider if you don't want the average internet user to post on your site. :)

I vote for Dave

[wootbean]

This may be a somewhat stupid question, but how to do look for a specific member?

[Zincous]

This may be a somewhat stupid question, but how to do look for a specific member?

At the top click "search" and the drop down box has a link for "advanced search".

In advanced search, over on the right, you can search for members by name.

[Dark NRG]

This reminds me of a High-Stakes poker game being played among the super rich in Monte Carlo.

I'm a nobody, so I think I'll stay out of it. Everyone who can read knows which one dogs on me and the other noobs....

Whoa what did I miss? I didn't know Hodapp became an admin, or Vegan, Dave, or Prab were mods now. Is there a thread, like the one made for Zincous? :confused:

Anyway, congrats you four, and I refuse to vote. All it will do is stir up bad blood for choosing one mod over another =/

I'm not usually downtown or in that area. The only time I head down that way is on Monday nights (I go to Ethos) and Wednesday nights (I go to Stardust and fix bikes for the needy).

We should find some more people and get a gaming night together.

Yep- sorry guys. Just busy with a lot of other things happening in my life atm. It's not that I am working on Punk Justice full time though, believe me. Punk Justice has had its final update. If I'd have had a better response to the last major update (which had some pretty good additions imo) then I would have seen more potential to carry on with it. However, sales dropped after the first couple of weeks and the last update hardly made a difference, which was very disappointing considering the work I put into it. It doesn't help when Apple phones me (yes, PHONES me!) and asks that I change the games website so that comments can't be made from outsiders, because Apple wouldn't like that for a game they WANT TO ADVERTISE- yet that never happened!!! The advert images were sent to them, the site was changed, and nothing! I could have made thousands more if they had done so. So with sales being rather poor, with no interest even on the forums, I have decided to leave that particular project now and move on to something else.
Just remember guys- just because some people have got rich from the app store, doesn't mean we all do. I'll be lucky to get a grand out of the game (before even deducting advertising expenses), and was very disappointed in sales, lack of interest with the update, and in Apple's two-faced approach to advertising- which has left me rather bitter.
I have other hobbies as well as this, such as writing music, and actually playing games. But I am also working on ideas for a new game- again something completely original. But this time my expectation won't be so high.
Anyway, peace. I'll still be here as a normal member. See you guys around.
