I was a mod a couple of years ago. I disappeared from the boards for awhile and I lost most of my power as a mod i.e. I can't edit or delete posts and I can't ban anyone. I do however still have access to the administration forum. I have asked to be reinstated as a mod. Jon wants to wait a while and make sure I stick around this time. I assure you I will. I only tried moderating that thread myself because I didn't want it to end up closed. Post were coming in everyfew minutes which made things difficult for mods (like eggman) who only pop in once in awhile. I knew the way things were going there at the end, someone was going to get angry with some of the posts. So without being a full mod I did what I could which apparently wasn't enough.
