Has Apolyton become too big? - Page 2

Though its not unknown for a mod to get a ban...

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 10:02

Hmm... I can't recall who would have been banned. IIRC Yin26 wasn't banned, but maybe I remember wrong.

DrSpike · January 20, 2003, 10:04

Yin was a mod? I got the impression from his civ3 posts that he was a bit of a troll.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 10:12

Yeap, Yin was the second OTF mod on the old UBB forums of Poly. He and Ming shared that position.

However he was later sacked for arguing with Marky Sparky.

Not even close.

MLeonard was the second OTF mod. Yin NEVER held that position

DrSpike · January 20, 2003, 10:37

So my question remains unanswered.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 10:41

Hmm... looks like I mixed up badly that. I need to check it.

Ming,

I agree, it's a LMAO like statement.

/me checks if Yin has ever been a mod.

Dummy me.

He was modding the Civ III forums when they first appeared on the old UBB forums.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 10:46

Spikey,

I'm convinced that I have it correct now.

Yin was moderator of the first two Civ III foras on the old UBB setup. He was sacked by Markos as he started an arguement in public.

more members ---> more forums ---> more advertising ---> more money ?

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 13:19

Nowadays advertising doesn't pay off well. What really counts are donations and paid services. More members -> more traffic -> more expenses -> slightly increased incomes.

Valuable lessons for all:

Rasbelin: Don't pretend to know things that you don't

Everyone else: Don't be fooled by his registration data, Ras is still a n00b

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 13:57

LMAO

You'd better wipe that out, Loc.

Since when have you started to act like that?

Loc, stop being evil.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 14:04

Oh yeah, oh yeah... Should have guessed this. First Loc, then Ming.

Still having so damn fun on my expense, Ming.

Right...

Solver · January 20, 2003, 14:06

Ras, the point of the place is to have fun

.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 14:10

Loc,

if you know so damn much about the financies I talked about, then go ahead and express yourself, but quit that crap.

Solver,

yes, having fun is one thing, but abusive messages aren't.

DrSpike · January 20, 2003, 14:49

Hehe.......funny stuff.

I am intrigued though....perhaps Locutus would clarify his viewpoint.

Only when you try to sound knowledgable on things you don't know. But heck, don't take that personal, I do it to everybody that does that

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 15:03

And why wouldn't I know what I say? I only talk about subjects I know about. Period.

If you make a fool out of yourself, don't expect people not to laugh...

I wasn't just referring to the financial part. But as far as that goes, I don't know much about it, but I don't pretend to either...

Get a sense of humour

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 15:36

Neither did I pretend that I would know everything. I only made several conclusions and mentioned in the first post that I'm not saying that I know better than Dan and Markos how to run this site. As for the humor, I have a sense for it, but not insulting one.

Case Closed...

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 15:49

Ming,

I noticed that little mistake too. I should have checked it, but apparently I first remembered it wrong. Mistakes happen, so I corrected my statement in the follow-up message. That's ought to be good enough and fair.

Yeah... AFTER it was pointed out to you. It's obvious you had no clue you were wrong until it was pointed out. So, you do talk about things you don't know, and you even try to sound to like an expert.

Rasbelin · January 20, 2003, 16:12

Yes, after it was pointed out because I didn't notice it earlier. Why? I didn't think about checking it as I've heard it several times before and actually I have been around here when he was still mod. Although you can't remember all small details so precisely after a few a years, unless it would be very important. BTW, I didn't try to be an expert. I only said what I knew (unfortunately I confused myself and mixed him with MLeonard).

Yeah, you can stop laughing now.

Ming · January 20, 2003, 16:26

an expert...

And for further proof... this isn't correct either.

You know nothing of which you speak...

Nubclear · January 20, 2003, 16:38

Ming, you actually deleted my thread that was very young because of supposed spam. What your doing here now also contisttueus the very spam you spoke of. So unless you wish to feed into my paranoia, I recommend you close the thread

I also must condemn you for not doing your job. A moderator is supposed to moderate and keep the peace, and clearly your not doing that. Your comments seemed to be engineering to generate a negative response (Which, by the way, is a troll) which again you have said to me is something moderators do not enjoy.

So, unless those things you said to me (Which again were: You pretty much hate spamming and trolling) were false, please close this thread. Thank you.

Ming · January 20, 2003, 16:48

You are welcome to your opinion... but that's all it is

So to your request... No.

It seems you are still pissed about your lost thread...
Well... whine all you want.
