Anyways, this thread has definitely taken a turn for the best...
Here\'s my schpeel:
First off, the mere thought of me being a moderator is laughable at best. Let\'s face it, I\'m not moderator material, despite being around for awhile, popularity as a member, and hefty post count. Perhaps my biggest flaw is my past which I admit was embarassing, however nothing I really have to be ashamed of. Sure I made some threads that I regretted creating, but thats what makes this forum so great, are those exact threads that particular members would rather have stored far away.
So I was thinking, should I give this a shot? Well if I did I would list my reasons I could be a moderator, and everybody would only roll their eyes and just smirk at arrogance. Although I wouldn\'t mind the spot, to be quite honest, I wouldn\'t do anything with it. I wouldn\'t close threads, delete posts, or pretty much do anything.
Point is, I\'ve been browsing various forums for over seven years now and I have come to learn that no matter what the forum, there are always the same members that fulfill the available stereotypes. My style of posting, does not reflect one that of a moderator... In addition, I would probably feel obligated to set an example, and would be afraid people would expect more from me, and I do not feel comfortable adjusting my posts just to match a title...
So let me tell you where I\'m going with all of this... Give the moderator spot to the guy most deserving on these entire boards...

In my opinion he is the most valuable member and smartest member (Don\'t say Bossieman, that guy is a loon) these boards have to offer. He would make the ideal moderator as he is extremely unbiased, fair, and he\'s a great guy. I\'ve been priviledged to have known him and have him to someone to talk to when I was too discouraged to talk to anybody that is in the realms of my life here in Las Vegas. I\'ve got a lot of respect for the guy, and I believe he would make an awesome OT moderator.
So if for some odd reason you were pulling for me, or did want to vote for me, I highly suggest you write in shockwaves for off-topic moderator, the only one out of all candidates who deserves the spot. Oh and screw timezones, this guy never sleeps, he will be around no matter what the time.
Vote shockwaves.
