It’s in that Discworld tradition of dead men’s pointy shoes.

> Giraffe, I think when you were a Mod in the Pit there was more than one Mod? I seem to think there was a lot more action then though- maybe you guys had more interaction in those days? (This is simmply a couple of questions so please correct me if I’m wrong).

Yes, it was \*\*fluiddruid \*\*and I for most of the time I was modding. (\*\*TVeblen \*\*was a mod when I started, but quit shortly thereafter.) Traffic in the forum is down quite a bit now compared to its heyday, and with mod criticism being disallowed there’s far less need to interact with posters in an official capacity. I’d say most of the modding I did was discussing the rules / various mod rulings with people, although I did hand out the occasional warning for trolling or threatening to murder someone.
