Only the admins can change that, and as you know they aren't the easy people to contact in the world. Proabaly be changed by next week.

Yep. The admins on this site are usually there when the community needs them

As you all know, I'm now the only moderator left. Obviously, there is no way that this is going to work. So, I will spend the next week deciding about new moderators. I will appoint them in next week. I know that that's quite a while to have only one mod, but it's the best I can do, since it's not an easy decision to make.

In the light of this, I am asking you all, please be on your best behaviour. It's not possible for me to be on all day, every day, but I'll do what I can. Just try to help me, please. Use the report button if you think it's necessary. Think twice before you post. Things like that.

Please stick around and help me out. If you have questions or suggestions, see my signature to contact me.
:shock: just doesn't seem to cut it here. I was blown away by the news that Caz and Codex left, and of the whole mess that just went down here, but Josjie leaving too!

I will indeed be on my best behavior ma'am. I will in fact be so good you won't even see me. Literally. I feel sorry for you Lei for the massive load that has just been dumped on you. I am sure the rest of us feel the same way. For your sake, you shan't have any problems, least of all from me.

This is nuts, but I'll be damned if everone's going to jump ship on my watch. I've been trying to move out of just Oblivion, and post more since last Friday's mod-discussion thread, but now I'm going to redouble it. I won't be a problem, I swear it.

I promise to do my best to keep my posts up to the standard.
This seems an awful lot of work that has been put onto you Leilah, what with you being the newest mod and all.
I would be feeling pressured in your position so I will definitely keep myself on my "goodie two shoes" mode.
This will all be resolved soon as long as we all work together and then normality will return to us with much anticipated normal-ness.
Is this meant to be witty, informative or deep? I doubt I can manage all three.

It was great for me to get onto the forums and see so many more replies. Thanks for everyone who is offering to be well-behaved, which is all of you :)

Everything mod-wise will be sorted out next week - I don't want to have to bother the admins twice, so I'm trying to figure out the other mods first. The pink-coined TPMs may be coming back, I'm still thinking. But it was quite useful to have them.

Also, Taters, I'm glad to hear that you'll be posting more, we can definitely use that.

As a final note, again, thank you all.

I shall behave as always, and like Taters, I shall also try to post more, and maybe actually make a threads that doesn't need to be locked or deleted within a hour :wink:

Also, I guess this is a good time to ask. What exactly is a Tea Party Mod? (And why the Pink coins? Just wonderin'.)

I think (correct me if I'm wrong) Dogmantra was the only Tea Party Mod.
His job was moderating the General sub-forum whilst the full moderators each had their own respective Elder Scrolls game sub-forum.
I think the pink coins were just a practical joke from the other mods at the time.

*grabs rifle* Okay, time to start a riot! go catch some rulebreakers!

I probably won't post much here anyway, but I guess I'll try to stay on topic. (which is really the only rule breaking most of us on here do anyway)

I haven't been here long, but I just got caught up with all the recent news and goodness, what an event. Still, you're handling everything well Leilah, and this is a nice community, so I'll do my best to keep it active with everyone else. :)

I have to agree here. There will be no betting on who will become mods. But thanks all for the continuing support.

I'd kind of prefer it if we didn't do that, makes my work kind of awkward. I'm sure you understand.
