**mike** · #3 (**permalink**) 10-28-2004, 02:52 AM

oh... confetti... (I thought you were puking too)

But yes the WPW mods work hard to keep the forum humming along. That said, modding is a thankless job and I like it that way. As such, I will be deleting this thread immediately and banning max for his blasphemous rabble rousing.

jawn_tech · #4 (**permalink**) 10-28-2004, 12:54 PM

How dare you show appreciation. What are you trying to do, set a precedence? Before you know it, others will follow, then it may escalate to sending us thank you cards, flowers, gifts, money, people hugging us on the street, paparazzi...

To the quarantine!

(Just kidding, gracias Max)

Appreciation...in moderation of course.

Thanx to all!

Dave

lol - You're too funny!

Look, I would not be asked, nor would I want to become a moderator - I don't envy their job & I enjoy the freedom of getting sent to the corner for crossing the line every once in a while. (smiling)

Cheers!

My post was an attempt at humor (a poor attempt based upon your reply) not to slight the work of a mod. As a mod/admin on another unrelated forum, I can very much appreciate the time, work, and effort.

If any of the mods or admins found my post insulting, I apologise.

Dave

Howdy crankydave,

I got the humor of your joke & did lol. I did not think you meant anything rude - our English chaps who post here have a slightly different sense humor, tho they are very funny just the same.

Cheers!
Max

EXCUSE ME... I do not recall you being in the corner... am I mistaken? Let the record show!

Keywords... he doesn't mind being sent, but he does mind going.

Hey Max, do you have some kind of prejudice against dirt? As if you are above the dust to dust routine? HUH?

I dare you to go to the corner!!!!

Linda Buquet · #11 (**permalink**) 10-28-2004, 06:20 PM

I happen to think that when you and Max are in the forum, you bring a smile to my face. I just thought that you would see the funny side if Max did make Mod.

Oh, Canada! I'm just a 30 minute boat ride from Canada, across Lake Erie.

Hey, how about appreciation for former Mods? Yeah you, funny face! =o)

I wonder who the eldest mod is -- not in age, but who's modded the longest.

Maximilian · #17 (**permalink**) 10-30-2004, 04:01 AM

MikMik -

Your wit & humor, as always, is an immense joy to read! I always return for a second helping, sometimes a third. (smiling)

Greetings - Catalyst!

You moderators are seriously quite welcome, and as such I have spent some time developing the moderators a special banner to keep your spirits up & thinking of bigger things to come.

To view the banner go to (do not click on link if your are offended by squirrel anatomy):

Now you know why they swim on their backs, to keep their nuts dry!

mikmik · #26 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 08:55 AM

Carrington or East Heckington?

ctabuk · #27 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 09:08 AM

mikmik well done, East Heckington is just up the road from us. New York village is tiny, just a few houses a chapel and a closed shop. It would be a culture shock for any tourists. Boston on the otherhand is quite unique.Why not set some clues up for Canada?

globalhostinggroup · #28 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 12:08 PM

free for all the mods

paulhiles · #29 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 12:26 PM

LOL!! GBH, you're too kind, you really are! :o)

Hmm... what does that small print say?

ctabuk · #30 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 12:45 PM

If he tries passing them around he will find the true meaning of GBH

paulhiles · #31 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 01:27 PM

Ah Yes, such a pity people fail to see the humorous side to "funny" money! :o)

(G) GBH - The Danger Drug

Probably the biggest threat to the entire dance club scene in the last ten years is the party drug GBH which is killing people every weekend in clubbing land. It has almost destroyed what was one of the best clubbing scenes in the world in New York, and Australia is totally under GBH's spell. This threat known as GBH. It is becoming hugely popular because it's cheap, at only $5 a pop.

What does GBH do?
GBH is a euphoric and disinhibitory drug in small doses, it provides that feeling of being mildly drunk and amplifies that by 1000. So the user feels like they in a state of euphoria. Because of the dis hinbitory aspect of the drug, users feel as though they can do anything and all rational thought often either disappears completely or is forgotten.

Damage Control
• There is no absolutely safe way of taking GBH, Superdrewby actively promotes that people stay away from GBH - however these pointers may help save your or one of your friend's lives if you do take GBH.
• Never Take GBH with Alcahol or other depressants
• Leave several hours between each does (at least two)
• Unlike all other drugs there is no antedote that can be given when an overdose occurs, the only known way to save someone's life if in sever respiritory distress is to intubate and place on a ventilator
When to Seek Help
• If the person is having a seizure or acting extremely irrationally - ie jumping up and down and then twitching on the ground
• If you cannot wake the person so they can have a coherent conversation with you.
• If the person is having trouble breathing, or they seem to be breathing slowly (this is an indicator of acute respitory distress)
• If the person is throwing up help them to make sure they do not choke on their own vomit.
What to do
• If you are in a club, get one of the security or medical staff immediately, or call an ambulance under all other circumstances.
• Don't let a person sleep after taking G, even if they want to, keep them awake and if needs be use some force like a light slap to wake them up
• Make sure that at all times that the person can breath by clearing any obstructions from their airwaves.
Bottom Line
The bottom line of GBH is that it is bad news:
• There is no such thing as a safe dose;
• 50% of users have had an overdose;
• Over 25% of regular users have overdosed more than once;
• GBH can kill you and there is no known antedote;
• GBH Sleep is actually a coma and you can never wake up from GBH sleep

paulhiles · #33 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 03:39 PM

Sounds a scary drug, globalhostinggroup!

I think the "GBH" that both ctabuk and myself were referring to was G.B.H., meaning "grievous bodily harm" i.e. the violence that might be dispensed upon someone found trying to pass "funny" money (or even Neo bucks!)

Clicken · #34 (**permalink**) 11-02-2004, 03:49 PM

What a trip that was!

Courtesy of globalhostinggroup Neo Bucks of course.

See, they are good for something.

ctabuk · #35 (**permalink**) 11-03-2004, 10:11 AM

Hand yourself in, I'll go as a witness. That is Moderator Money, the likes of you and I cannot use it.

It is that stuff that keeps them happy, they go to Moderator Bars and drink in Moderation
