NYCGal? Really? She's always so angry all the time. Won't be long until she's banning posters because she can't keep from making things personal. |

She knows the rules and she knows what to do and what no to do. I've talked with all the mods about this beforehand. |

I signed up, but what's the niche? What will it do that this forum and Waygook don't do? There could be a place for a site with minimal limits on what you can say since the big two both seem to aim to be family friendly. I like a forum where people are free to tell other posters to FO once in a while. If people are free to be forthright there seems to be less snideyness |

The forum appears to be a place with very laidback moderation. However with NYCgal as a mod thats a huge red flag. Shes always attacking anyone that doesnt agree with her every word, shes also a huge feminist, which I dont have a problem with, but can see her banning the first person that offends her in a forum thats supposed to be more laidback. Shes way too sensitive and takes things too personal. No thanks. Ttompatz would make a great mod though. |

I am the only one who can ban people, actually. Mods can put people into a time-out zone and submit requests to have bannings, but only if they have reason. Mods who abuse their powers or let things get personal would be removed. I hold a tight leash on them all. |

Did you know she's also married to a Brit?
She seems to like saying that!
Alas, I'm not that lucky guy  |

Congrats on getting the site up and running! I like the fact that you've made it transparent who the mods are. ttompatz, as most would agree, is certainly an excellent choice. I will say this, mod choices might affect who decides to participate. A couple of people have already voiced concern about that. Just saying. |
