Hey, Pete - I think you guys are seriously missing the boat here. The clue to your next mod is in post #10. ForceFlow knows everything about this forum. He's on constantly, catches dupe threads all the time, is a calming voice of reason when things hit the shitter, etc. etc. Add to that the fact that (as far as I can tell), he's liked and respected by just about everybody on Pinside...and I've met him and he's one of the nicest guys I've ever met.

Whether you get another mod in a different time zone or not, I think Robin should consider offering ForceFlow a moderator position. I, for one, would be honored to have my ass kicked off this forum by him.

Yeah...but only douchebags will hold his moderations against him. I've never had issues with moderation (with the exception of one time and one moderator), and I know that the mods do what they really think is best for the forum. Most of the long timers and heavy posters know this. The people who have nasty negative attitudes are going to hate anything that doesn't go their way, and take it out on the person who "controlled" them.

I'm pretty sure ForceFlow understands this and wouldn't let it bother him. If it did, he could always PM me and I'd smack some sense into him.

Make it happen, Robin!

So why are you still alive? I've backed you lots of times!

ForceFlow does.

Judging from the time stamp on this post, ForceFlow is on Pinside 24 hours a day and doesn't sleep. So it doesn't matter where he lives. My vote is still for him.
