I think the un-modded night was in response to people's complaints about the mods. Sperling wanted to show what the board would be without mods.

How uncharacteristically responsive and hands-on of him.


In other news, if any Mods are reading -- what are the odds we'll be getting pic-posting & sig-line priviledges back? Or does it look like those are just gone for good?

I second "JongnoGuru's" call for restoration of pic-posting and signature-line privileges - though of the two posting pictures would be more positively pivotal, i.m.o.

Fourthed.

It is true for any internet forum that preventing pics goes to make things less interesting, but with Dave's... man, this place is dreary without pics.

Posting pictures has no effect on Dave's bandwidth. The pictures get served up from somewhere else.

Come now, I wasn't THAT bad.. :D

Some real iconic moments mentioned in here, but this place has always dealt with things in its own organic way.

Surprised with the whole pic/sig situation and one that I personally hope will be reviewed with community input at some point in the future.

jae.

Whaaa? Spliff is no more?
I wondered why I haven't seen his famously billious and snippy rejoinders lately...

I have always wondered what has happened to Spliff and Spliff's son. They were trolls, but also funny.(in a weird way)

I`d say JongnoGuru's presense and impact on the board was pivotal...particularly the highlighting of names....I find it addictive and fun, and Dave's wouldn't be quite as cool without doing that, I would say. Cool
