Title: Addition to the Admin team
Post by: Damaris on November 16, 2008, 08:42:16 PM
The admins are proud to announce the addition of Tapewolf to our creepy little club.

Please be sure to afford him the same respect as you would any other admin (or more, in the case of some)  :)

Grats, Tape. I noticed the name in blue thing, but I attributed it to perhaps something to do with the Half-Moon theater subforum moderator-ness.

And all shall cry, beware beware! The flashing eyes, the floating hair! Weave a circle round him thrice, and close your eyes in holy dread - for he on manna dew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise.

That only shows up in the forum in question.

If you look at Jigsaw's posts outside the Last Resort area, she's a normal user. Within, she's specially marked.

Just FYI. ;-]

As llearch says, that only shows up within the subforum.  Also, I don't believe it shows up as such in the userlist, even when the moderator is in their own patch.

That is Starry Night, or a decent approximation of it. Colors are a little off (as is the brush work)... but then, I'm just being a nitpicky Art History buff at this point...

Officially I can neither confirm nor deny it.  Assuming hypothetically that such a thing did exist, I might not want to look too closely at the back-issues.  Some things are better left unseen.  Hypothetically.
