[21:34] rolloffle: hi
[21:34] rolloffle: I notice that Lowtax reneged/backpedalled on the plan to make you a B&F moderator!
[21:35] SA Business Guy: not really
[21:35] SA Business Guy: I'm supposed to be put in some time this week
[21:35] SA Business Guy: they only just got finished deciding for new mods for Games and GBS
[21:36] rolloffle: ah
[21:36] rolloffle: Lowtax likes to spread out moderatorships?
[21:36] SA Business Guy: usually
[21:36] rolloffle: I guess to make it easier to detect mod forum leakers as/when it happens?
[21:37] SA Business Guy: Yeah, it does
[21:37] SA Business Guy: He's still paranoid about that
[21:37] SA Business Guy: and that's why I'll only speak in generalities
[21:37] SA Business Guy: instead of directly leaking info
[21:37] SA Business Guy: if that makes any sense
[21:37] rolloffle: it does
[21:37] rolloffle: Lowtax's paranoia makes sense too
[21:37] rolloffle: assuming the mod forum contains as much drama potential as most people seem to think it does
[21:38] SA Business Guy: Yeah
[21:38] SA Business Guy: I'll confirm/deny that
[21:38] SA Business Guy: once I have access
[21:44] rolloffle: you mentioned the new GBS and Games mods earlier
[21:44] rolloffle: do you have any idea who those guys are? because I don't, haha, and much of SASS doesn't seem to know, either
[21:45] rolloffle: louisgod's draws a complete blank for me and the only thing I recognize about Pipski is his avatar
[21:45] SA Business Guy: eh, they're both average posters really
[21:45] SA Business Guy: as in, really average
[21:45] SA Business Guy: I'm guessing they were chosen because of their general mediocrity
[21:45] SA Business Guy: and lack of history
[21:46] rolloffle: that may be a good thing
[21:46] SA Business Guy: yeah. See: The Finn
[21:46] SA Business Guy: I'd say he's the best GBS mod in quite some time
[21:46] SA Business Guy: and he was almost a nobody
[21:46] SA Business Guy: beforehand
[21:46] rolloffle: as opposed to CapnAndy types who have things like "HOW DO I BECOME A MOD????" in their past
[21:46] SA Business Guy: right
[21:47] rolloffle: yeah, The Finn isn't great, but he's a massive improvement over Andy and Icequeen and so forth
[21:47] SA Business Guy: yep
[21:47] SA Business Guy: and he's willing to open up threads for people who need to be shat on.
[21:47] SA Business Guy: then again
[21:47] SA Business Guy: angerbotSD does the same too
[21:47] SA Business Guy: I guess icequeen and andy were the only people who'd keep those sorts of threads closed for the most part
[21:48] rolloffle: it might hurt people's feelings! D:
[21:48] SA Business Guy: haha
[21:51] SA Business Guy: Either way, I'll be finding out more about the whole moderator situation once Lowtax is back from Louisiana.
[21:51] rolloffle: oh yes, I'd forgotten about that
[21:51] rolloffle: he's flying back from NO tonight, right?
[21:51] SA Business Guy: yep
[21:51] SA Business Guy: Went to a friends wedding
[21:52] rolloffle: ah
[21:53] rolloffle: I was considering making a crack about radium but I guess it's not really apropos now, given that Katrina flushed Ken out of the city
[21:53] SA Business Guy: hahahaha
[21:53] SA Business Guy: yeah
