**Kn(not-a-mod)ckers** was one of my Trek-Doping faves that we lost in Pay2Post. I wonder if any of those who left know that P2P is gone? ---

I’m out of town this weekend and unable to participate fully right now but I’ll be back Monday and try to catch up on this – and get you the info I have. Sorry for the delay. Nickrz worked for us for a bit way back in the early day. He reads the board from time to time so try to say something nice about him, okay? 🙂 He was a moderator for a while too – don’t remember exact tenure but it was for more than a day or two. Smart guy. Mouth to match as well, but it was a more rough and tumble time and moderators could show some 'tude. ---

No, **Cicero** , but I had noticed that, too. Maybe looking at the “current version” of the profiles in question might provide a clue. Far left column.

> [@samclem](#): > > Please don’t leave out **Chronos** as a former moderator(in GQ). He and **bibliophage** were the two best GQ Moderators of my early time spent here as a member. Hell, they are still possibly the two best in the forum known as GQ. With all great respect due to the posters mentioned, **manhattan** ’s singlehanded moderation of GQ was truly epic. Yes, GQ was handled by a sole moderator for years, when he wasn’t trading arcane instruments on Wall Street. It was a never dull mud wrestling contest between the teeming millions v. manhattan’s sanity: the pit threads would multiply like fiendish bunnies. Eventually it came to be more than one man could handle, but the fight was glorious. ---

Generally I don’t use them unless I see a spammer late at night, when I think that nobody else is gonna be able to take care of things any time soon. I still get a warm tingly sensation in my naughty bits when I’m able to ban a spammer who is busy creating a new thread. ---

I remember how he closed all the early “All Your Base” threads before they’d gotten more than a few posts along, because he had no idea what was going on, and then closed all the later ones because, as he saw it, it had already been done. He was a character. ---

Progress Report on Mods List I have merged the contents of Posts #51, #63 and #92 into one file that I will post as soon as we get to a new page (for me = Post #101). It will be in UserId sequence. If a second version in Mod Date(s) order is requested I can repost #92 (with the subsequent corrections) on the new page. The new merged file still has quite a few ??? things and I can’t swear to 100% accuracy/completeness on the new file. So please correct anything that needs it. Thanks for all the input! ---
