(Putting this into ATMB, since the missing one is a main source of technical information)
Where has Arnold Winkelried disappeared to as of lately?
He’s always been a source of humorous comments, and I miss his posting style.
Just wondering…
Hmm, you’re right. I just did a search, and he’s only posted twice in the last month.
I dunno.
I don’t think he and I are close enough for me to call him Noodles, but if we were, I’d call him that and then put a little grinny face and continue my comments. I bet that would lure him out of lurkerdom.
I’m sure he hasn’t abandoned the boards. He’ll be back in due course. ‘Administrator’ isn’t something you can just resign from, you know. 
Yes, Comments seems to currently be operating without moderator review. I’ve seen insults thrown and not be commented on, threads devolve into debates and run on endlessly, and other minor infractions. What’s the deal?
You can’t predict the actions of someone known as ‘Noodles’
I kidnapped him and have him tied up in my basement*.
*Okay, not really, but I would have done that if I had a basement.
Arnold?
The last time I heard from him, he said–
Thank you, thank you, I’ll be here all week.
Attention all Acme detectives! One of Arnold Winkelred’s gang has stolen the Eiffel Tower. Go to Paris and track down the thief.
Maybe he was attacked in his sleep by his pet whatever-that-thing-is.

There’s a pic for a SDMB photoshop contest if I have ever seen one.
Oh, great, Captain Amazing - I now have that theme song stuck in my head. grrr…
I wouldn’t say that CoCC hasn’t been moderated, just perhaps been a little looser than usual, primarily the thread about Cecil’s comments on “damnfool war”… which is borderline whether to keep in CoCC or move to Great Debates or what, so the decision has been to permit a little more latitude than CoCC would normally allow.
So have him come over and make a guest appearance here. He doesn’t think he’s Cecil now, does he? (In regards to the amount that he posts)
You mean the brown-haired thing holding him up by the exoskeleton, there?
And dang you, Captain Amazing, you stole my line.
I’ll take over as mod of CoCC!
My first act as moderator is to declare anyone who uses the letters “A” or “R” in their posts will be instantly banned! You may bow before your new Lord!
And, Cecil Adams thus becomes officially known as “He Whose Name Cannot be Written”.
Hmmm…
T__s T__k_s, I think this could get confusing. Do you e_lize how m_ny wo_ds cont_in the lette_s "" nd ""? In sho_t o_de_, we m_y h_ve to w_ite enti_ely like this. The_e _e w_y too m_ny unde_sco_es fo my t_ste.
We, um, mustn’t let this be so. We need M. Winkel…guy to uh, come newly. Like, now.
Moderator, ban thyself.
New Lod?
I am above the law, for i am Legion! My next act will be to declare that periods shall be replaced by :)'s or you shall suffer the curse of Romeo and be banished forever! Muhahahahaha!
Well, that was more of a sentence than a curse. It would be weird to hear judges handing down sentences saying, “I hereby curse you to 50 hours of community service.”
OTOH, it would be entirely cool if the judge would announce: “You have been found guilty, and I hereby curse you with baldness and gout, for the rest of your natural life, if you live so long.”
I would gladly swap all my periods with smiling yellow faces, but only if I’ll still ovulate:) No curse for me:)
