Moreover where are most of the mods, Mouse_Master shows every once in a while, NeoMike is basically gone, same with Dolphin_Lord.

Biomotor_Unitron seems to come in and out. RyoGeo seems like I haven't seen him in a while.

That leaves us with EvilWasabi and Bobak?

Then Shawn as admin.

Plus NeoGumby...not sure who that is but its an admin.

I'm pretty sure that it involved hanging upside down, killing a buffalo with your bare hands, and strapping a large weight to your penis. Other than that I'd just be shooting in the dark.

All of the original mods + Shawn were members at Dolphinlord's Yahoo club years ago when it was the most active Neo message board. I'm sure one of the mods can give you more info but I remember Shawn looking for volunteers there to help get this site going.

Skipping the details, but the original Mods were picked, as Twalden correctly noted, from the more active and reasonable people over on DolphinLord's board.

The original five mods were:
- Mouse_Master
- DolphinLord
- Geddon_jt
- nick_th_fury
- JMKurtz (tech only)

Nick decided to "retire" and then I was invited. We've had many others between and since.

Has it ever been discussed that a democratic election, by all the members of NG.com be made to elect new mods, as opposed to Shawn and the mods deciding on who should be?

I think someone has sand in their vagina because they aren't a mod yet.

this post embodies a big downside of the boards at the moment for me. ppl spamming up semi serious threads with shit i have no interest in reading.

I don't have a problem with you yet, but it seems like everyday you're on a
constant posting marathon, even if it's non sense you always post regardless.

He said he would stop spamming when he had 2 stars.

Now I'm pretty sure he'll go on to the 3 stars and then will say he'll only stop when he gets 4 and so on.

Galfordo at first you were cool, but now you're becoming quite annoying man. You know you're not like that.
