darkSpyro

I've never been a mod before, but I've applied about 17 times in 10 different forums I was a part of. All of them ended in rejection, which sucks when you work so hard to practice moderation and to make a good application only to find out that someone gets chosen over you, and you find out later that they do a lousy job at it. As of now, I'm only a part of 2 other forums outside of darkSpyro. One of them has no need for mods since they have 5, and the other is dead for the most part. darkSpyro is my best shot at being a mod, and considering how I racked up 1890 posts in the one month I've been here, and the friends I've gotten, it would be a huge honor if I was chosen if dark52 ever did hire mods, and I doubt anybody outside of Blackholes_Wolf would mind. Yeah I know it says I've been here since April of last year, but I didn't become active until December.

Somtimes they did, and I would think "Am I a part of this collection of people she's yelling at?". But I've gotten used to it. It takes about a month for me to learn about a person. Seeing how I've been stalking your dA account since August, you can do the math.

Yeah, I do unfortunately tend to use general terms when I am yelling at specific people. As regards modding, you really aren't missing out. I just got handed the job out of nowhere and it was pretty thankless. In the end, it was at least half of why I left that particular forum.

I haven't seen much talk about pairings other than........the topic. You know which one I'm talking about. And for the most part it's dead and gone. Shame, because it was funny as all hell.

Exactly. The closest thing to a mod other than him is an account that only he can use, and he hasn't used it in ages. He needs to hire mods. Even if it is just one.

The only friend on my list that left is SuperSpyroFan. And it's a shame. He said he wishes he was dead when he left. I really hope he didn't keep his word on that claim...

WereCat revived that topic in the DotD section. And don't worry, Super is fine.

I've changed the name back again (sorry, Brawler!) because of all these complaints- but, hey, it was gonna happen at some point

And I hope Super's doing alright- why exactly did he leave DsarkSpyro, anyway?

What did just happen here?!

He said he had enough of this site.

The reaction was funny though!

And yeah, Super just isn't that much of a Spyro fan that more, he said.

Super was questioning why he was here, and he was going off on a tangent about how he wishes he was dead.

Bah, don't fret on it. I do the same very often. If someone doesn't think that they are part of it and speaks to me about it, I consider them one of the few exceptions.

Yes but I still want to mod. I figure it'd be a cool job.

Honestly now, I don't think dark52 wants to avoid mods because he thinks he can handle the site himself. Something tells me he doesn't want to have to pay mods for their work, since I know a good share of sites that do that. He shouldn't worry about it, since it's not neccessary to do that. I know several people that were (or still are) mods and they did it because they wanted to. I don't care if I don't get paid (even though I need a job), I just want to be a moderator.

How do you know Super is fine?

Anything he likes, favourites, uploads or uses the shoutbox for in YouTube comes up on my account. He also started a new account recently. So yeah, I think he is still alive.

Yeah, he just doesn't like Spyro anymore.

Actually, his new account is called "StDClassics"....so he must have SOME interest...

I see. I want you to give him a link to his GB. I want him to see that we miss him.

Done, aaannd......done!

I'll tell you about the reply when/if I get one.

I don't think he'll respond.

We'll just wait and see....

You have to log in to look to the GBs, so I think not.

I don't know. I replied to him and got another reply from him:

I'm not sure where you guys get the idea that forum mods are paid because they aren't. Like running the forum itself, a mod position is volunteer work.

There are some paid moderators, but on most sites the job is voluntary. I'm a mod on a site because I was friends with the admin (the only reason I still have the position is probably because he doesn't care much about the site anymore), and I basically considered all the work I did there to be for him. I was surprised when I found out there were paid forum moderators.

But yeah, there have been no moderators on this site since its beginning, and I doubt that's going to change any time soon. It would certainly be nice, though. The Spyro sections of this site aren't bad at all, but once you get into the general sections there are suddenly tons of trolls and people who want to argue about everything. It's sad because this would be a really nice place if there was just a little more order.

Tell him "Because we all miss you, especially the awesome CAV".

Don't really type that.

For the most part, yes. But I remember a few sites where mods got paid.

Seems he's gone for good. And yeah, we don't know him, but that doesn't change the fact I liked his company on the site.
And I've seen at least one user that's listed as a Hunter, but I'm pretty sure they haven't been on in years. (I was tryping in random Guestbook numbers in the adress bar )

I knew bits and pieces about him. He was a cool guy. And he left a lot of memes (GOONRO, See no Yoko).

I thought the Hunter account was one of dark52's test accounts. .__.

Ummm....I'm not gonna ask!

Oh, in regards to the topic!

Pfft, I'm not sure how to put it. Sometimes the people I know seem to not like me being interested in games at all, or even anything animated. They seem to automatically assume Spyro is a kids game. Maybe I should show them Conker's Bad Fur Day, and then tell them Spyro is like that!

Ghhh, you're probably right. I'll have to go look for it again.

And I loved Goonro <3 I never got the Yoko thing though ._.

Goonro is genial! As for Yoko: Yoko Ono was a singer, Super used to call her "Yoko OhNo", and when someone posted an image and he couldn't see it, he said "I see no Yoko"

I miss Super. He was funny.

Haha, I just wanted to see who were some of the first users were!

Aaand on topic, nobody seems to give a crap what I'm interested in. By that, I don't mean they don't care, they just don't judge I guess. It's not like I carry my 'obsession' around everywhere I go

Goonro and Goonder! Ah, good times :3

And- Ohno!- how could I forget about Yoko?

my parent and family are more bothered by my lady gaga obbsesion but i play down my love for spyro a lot more

^.......I feel bad for your parents.

As an update, I am a 24 year old college graduate and people still know about my love for Spyro and his games. They don't question it as most in my family like and/or respect the purple dragon is some way.

^Well, it can't be that bad.

I know 40 year old men who still play Mario loyally. There is nothing wrong with playing a game you love, no matter what age is was meant for... if someone questions why... just say "Taking a trip down Memory Lane" or whatever. I still play The Lion King for the SNES and I'm freaking 17-going-on-18 years old.

And as for Super, he might come back. Who knows? Maybe when things finally start going right for him he'll come back...at least I hope so. He added a unique touch of humor to the site that nobody else can pull off. So what if we don't know him? Like, I think it was Darby who said so, I did enjoy his company on this site.

Well, games like Mario, Spyro, and Kirby are rated E for Everyone. It's not like you have to stop playing them once you hit age 13 when they are E for Everyone.

I don't have a Spyro obsession.
I have a Dead Space Obsession, Resident Evil Obsession, Splatterhouse Obsession, but no Spyro obsession.
I just like it as a Childhood memory, and so I play the games.

I'm 25 and I still play Mario, Spyro, and other games that most people consider to be for kids. Heck, I even watch kid shows still like that certain My Little Pony cartoon that's going around the internet now.

I'm 15 and I play Mario, Sonic, Spyro, etc.
I also play Final Fantasy, Deadrising, etc, games geared towards my age.
And I also play games like Conker and GTA, games made for adults.

I played Certificate 18 Games underage.

Me too bro!

I find gore in games not nearly as bad as in films.
I mean, I am happy to see somebody's chest to get torn open in a game but its efefct is more drast8c in films...

Yeah, seeing as it looks more realistic(most of the time)!

Same.

It was ok for someone to get blasted in the head in a game, but when I was watching Brothers and Toby's character nearly shot himself in the head, I almost crapped myself. Not really, but you get the idea.

And I can't sit through a Saw film, but I can play the game without any sort of problem. Then again, I was never given the chance to watch Saw...

they don't know and really don't really care

my mum doesunt care but she rolles her eyes alot.
