I'm sorry, but as the candidate for most everyone, I simply can't bend to the extreme demands of your fringe group. Perhaps you'll join me at the negotiating table and resolve this like civilized people.

Mike


Fringe group?!?!?!

You're talking about prime contributors to the photoshop thread, which happens to be the most viewed thread in OT. Sorry dude, but we're the mainstream.

You're losing touch with your constituency. Maybe it is time to drop out?

I'm not talking about the participants of the photoshop thread. I'm talking about the militant participants. The photoshop extremists, if you will.

I think that you guys may be losing touch with the qualities that make a good moderator. I need to approach a potentially volatile situation, evaluate it with minimal prejudice, and render a well-considered decision without the input from those that seek to benefit from my decison. You may not be happy with my choices now but, in time, you'll see that they were the right ones.

Would you consider Jive or myself a militant participant? :eyebrow:
 
I have fired up the Advanced Simulation System (A.S.S.) which I haven't used since the legendary Qintar era to find out more info about our candidate, mike_v_s.

I first started out by running the most suspicious person in OT through it.

Through analysis of agent Major Metal, the A.S.S. was able to trace his radio signals back to his secret KGB headquarters.

Further analysis revealed a rather extensive server farm, with many super computers.

But the real discovery was what was found at the end of the hallway. It was a bathroom. And what the A.S.S. found was the identity of mike_v_s.

The candidate for change is just a high tech toilet paper dispenser with advanced message boarding capabilities. The V_S stands for virtual smart@$$.

Yes, folks, your "candidate" has no blimp.

Goes to show why the no pics rule is so important. Next time, vote carrots.

Already voted carrots and it turns out that Mike doesn't even have a "cluster blimp". He has no blimp at all, unless that is what he calls the bum of the fat chick that comes into the washroom every day at 1:43.

Well, I haven't seen you photoshop a group of unsuspecting teenagers at a discotheque... but I would consider your attempt to force my hand for your own good a miltant tactic. Only you guys know whats truly in your heart.

Mike

For our own good?!?!?

It's for the good of all TB. There's much entertainment in the photoshop threads. Like I stated earlier, you are losing touch with your constituency. Your campaign is built on a platform of empty promises.

Very well then. Being that you are a v_s toilet paper dispenser I am left with no choice. As an unofficial spokeshole for all that is down and dirty in OT, as the creator of the Could Atoz Be the Next Mosh Girl Thread (which lead to the Atoz emoticon), The TB Mosh Girl Thread, The Show Your Gut Thread, Maki's Two Cents (parts I and II), the Man Laws Thread, The Popping Zit Thread, and as an official endorsor of sexy asian chicks in socks, quantity and not quality, and general haphazard contributor to the chaos known as OT, I'd like to put forth that although I am not a proud man, and I officially REMOVE my endorsement of this candidate, mike_v_s, for moderator. It is sad day, but being that our candidate is not willing to provide photographic evidence of his existence, I am only left to conclude that our candidate is indeed nothing more than a cluster-ballooning virtual smart@$$ toilet paper dispenser. As well-thought out as his posts may appear, I can only support real people.
