Without doing any searching or deep dives or going out of this thread, how many SDMB mods can you name?
I’m talking about any member who has ever been a moderator (however short the tenure was–thinking of two specific ones here)…
So, from the beginning of these 1999 boards to now…
…how many?
List as many as you can in your reply. Not really fair to “team up” and only list ones others have missed, …that’s easy to do. What’s hard is to list them all in your own post and you can mention the ones that others forgot in THAT. Or ..what…can you only remember some (the ones others in here forgot) and not the ones the others in here GOT?? Yeah, that’s what I thought.
Seriously, though…how many can you name in one post? I’ll award the top three in here who can. I very much doubt anyone can get them all, well, unless you’re a mod too,… like @Czarcasm MIGHT be able to…but not even I can remember them all, I don’t think…I couldn’t name them, at least, all in one place…
so yeah, good luck. Aim for the top three. I will not count anyone who simply “adds on” to someone else’s reply.
I can list at least one former mod (me). There was Colibri, Jonathon Chance, Tuba Diva, Currently, Puzzlegal, What_Exit. Super mod Ed Zotti. That’s all I can think of right offhand.

Um…the one who used to co-mod the game room with me…heh, can’t remember his name off hand.
That’s not bad.
I know I’m probably missing or forgettilng a good 4 or 6, but I’ll take my trophy now, thank you.
@engineer_comp_geek could PROBABLY come along and blow this list out of the water.
I pay no attention to anybody’s username. To me everyone has the same voice, the same beliefs, and the same physical appearance as a vaguely human-shaped amorphous blob. I will recognise a name occasionally, but couldn’t tell you anything about what country they’re from, how long they’ve been here, or what their political opinions are, anything. So remembering who are Mods? Forget it.
Marley (I don’t think that was his full name but that’s what everyone called him. Marley23 maybe? He banned me once but had a change of heart and quietly unbanned me after realizing it was the other guy’s fault)
Miller
Puzzlegal
Engineer_comp_geek
Manhattan
I thought there was another Tom or maybe Todd or something mod but damned if I can remember their name.
I honestly thought I wouldn’t be able to remember a single one save Tubadiva. I’m not sure how many on the above list are even current mods.
Let’s see, from the beginning (not counting AOL) and off the top of my head:

Jerry (the original tech guy; while he never did any moderating, he technically had mod powers)
Ironically, I know I’m missing some of the current mods. This is partly because we communicate mostly through e-mail, so I recognize their email names more readily than their board names, and don’t always remember who’s who.
Man, there used to be a comic somewhere “What if everyone who had ever been an Avenger was still an Avenger?”, and it culminates with a scene of like sixty people showing up to rescue a cat stuck in a tree. But I can’t find it now.
There’s that guy (you know the one), the one who’s really annoying, the one we all miss, that other guy, the one who was banned, and of course, the one who banned all of us (for 20 minutes at the bottom of the Marianas trench)
