He pretty much ruined the old site. He was as juvenile, confrontational, obnoxious and bad for morale as Marcus. Like Marcus, he was only around because of his personal relationship to somebody else. (Because of misteradiant's personal relationship with sose, the moderators were powerless to control him. Anybody else would have been banned for acting the way he did.) And, like Marcus, he's not our problem any more.

Is this guy, the one who every now and then spammed the old site with crappy poetry, and acting like the resident "bohemian"?

Now I understand a lot better how he got away with a lot of verbal abuse against several posters back then. Dangerous stuff, to give free passes and privileges to people in a comunity.

In reality, the only reason that I am has to do with the old 20 Questions threads, and the fact that I really just wanted the ability to sticky future threads for the official dot net radio show!

... Which is unfortunately indefinitely on hiatus, as I am currently looking for other means of Internet besides dsl.

Oh, rural Idaho, you are a cruel mistress indeed.

Thanks a ton, v9! Now that the site is all set up, I don't do all that much day-to-day work to keep it going. All the credit goes to the awesome mods who pounce on spammy threads and keep things running so well. In case folks didn't know, our mods are:

* carey
* Charlie Smithy
* INFORMER
* Superbone

All of them do an amazing job. Carey also posts a massive amount of content, links, etc. every week, and is really the heart and soul of the site. We might not have a critical mass of posts and content without him. Carey da real MVP!

There were, I think, eight moderators when MR began his reign of terror. One by one, they all quit in protest of sose's constant reversals of any moderation of MR. I was the last one.

The Suns slipped last season, prompting six in-season trades and more moves after the 39-43 season to create a roster with better positional and age balance. The current 13-man roster has a strong chance of being the opening-night roster. McDonough said it would take “a pretty high-level player” for the Suns to use the cap space mid-level exception for a two-year contract starting at $2.84 million.

“We’re going to bring a few players to training camp and give them a shot to make the roster,” McDonough said of the camp that will start in late September in Flagstaff. “I think some of the players who come to camp with us, if they don’t make the Suns’ roster, will go to (D-League affiliate) Bakersfield and play for the Jam."
