I am 24.
I always pictured you as being older. ROFL.

I'm also 24. I'll be 25 in February

Okay, you can f**k right off with that right now.

I have expired packs of ramen at the back of my cupboard that are older than you.

Well, I am deeply grateful for all your efforts.  I'm certain it is a lot of effort for little reward but I sense that you are all motivated by more than mere recompense.  You've made a safe & friendly space for me to write and research and socialize with the deeply weird, which is a tremendous boon and balm for me.  Thank you for the efforts last year and I  look forward to another!

Its like finding out that PolytheistWitch is actually a school councillor, or RM is actually the ambassador to Colombia.

Much appreciation for the appreciation, but I don't really feel right accepting it, in my case. As a recusal mod I do much less work and so imo deserve much less credit. bish and Virt are the ones who have really put in the hours here. I only handle sensitive cases. The rest of the time I get to put my feet up; bish and Virt do not.

Actually, many people find my "impeccable grammar" to be cold and hyper-formal. Partly, I try to be professional and distant in my communications because my job as moderator requires professionalism and impartiality. Partly, I am naturally formal, verbose, and careful in the way I write and speak (unless I am joking around or feeling particularly gay and/or flirty).

I find it cold sometimes too whoaaaaa

I have this weird thing in my head where when I see someone constantly using periods at the end of their sentences, for some reason I think they're conceited or haughty or something, even though that's never true, which is why I never use periods in my forum posts

Question: what are the odds of me being appointed as an honorary mod just to scare some of the louder-mouth members into shutting up about frivolous complaints every once in a while?

That's a ridiculous meme, I found out long ago and it's one of 5 realistic theories.

He's Airmax1227, Bsh1, YYW, a troll wanting to dox members or a government agent wanting to harvest data on those with outlandish views who may act too physically based on those views or influences too many who would.

In the latter 2 theories, he is more likely to be a team than an individual, but I list him as an individual for the sake of equating it to 'Mike, the admin'.

DDO was better when it worked and had a vibrant community. DART is better now

I haven't had too much fun with it, tbh. I don't think "fun" is why you do this job...
