**Asimovian.**  
The mods for each forum are listed at the bottom of that forum’s page.

The list of moderators at the bottom doesn’t show up if you are using the mobile skin.

There is also a list of all moderators if you go to the main SDMB page and then click on View Forum Leaders down near the bottom (this also works on the mobile skin). That takes you to this page:

Wouldn’t;t have been easier for somebody to just say “so and so is the moderator for thread games”?

I agree that “so and so” is easier to say than “Asimovian”.

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish & get rid of him every weekend.

Perhaps, but I for one appreciated the detailed explanation. I just a new big screen iPhone and will probably start surfing a lot more on my phone than I used to just for that reason.

At first I read that as “I\*\*'m\*\* just a new big screen iPhone” and thought, “true AI got here sooner than we thought!” 😉
