The recent influx of new moderators fills me with glee. I hadn't seen that UltraJoe was part of the guard now too, but it's a good thing.

More moderators in other time zones is a good thing.
Yeah. I've had a lot of people say that.

Quite a bit of info to look over but overall quite useful. I wish more people would read stuff like this. I hope some day I'll be able to earn more of the non-moderator wrath badges. Though knowing me I'll eventually say something stupid with out thinking. xD

Ok, added Labyrinth and Ultrajoe to the list of mods in the Posting Guidelines thread. Ultrajoe actually wanted to keep his forum title instead of taking the Red Guard title, if anyone was wondering.

An enjoyable read?! But...you have cake!
OT: Yep, this is pretty damn helpful. It should be a mandatory read for all new escapists, including me!
EDIT: Sniff...i feel left out. All those pretty gold stars.

This really needs a good updating but it is a great guide ^-^
Yeah, I'll be on it in the next few days. I haven't been able to touch the internet (well, at least not for a great period of time) in a while and with a substantial update on the way, I haven't found the time necessary to complete it. Rest assured, once I get the time to properly make and polish the update it will be up. This weekend at the very latest.

What about Baby Tea? Or did that happen recently?

Yes, it was a recent thing.

Kuliani said that Red Guard #3 would not be disclosed until he agreed. I think it can be safely assumed that Baby Tea was him.

Updates soon.

Thank you for these clarifications. Maybe now we can spend more time in enjoying this forum, rather than arguing about how it should work.

And congratulations to our new Guards.

"Get your music onto up to 300 online music distributors including iTunes, Rhapsody, Amazon, Sprint, Verizon, eMusic, and more, simply, quickly, and very cost effectively.

Haveyaheard will partner with you to get your music in more stores than you thought possible, opening the doors for more potential fans to find your music!

How does it work? Very simply! We just need 2 copies of your audio CD, $15 per album set up fee, your UPC code, and an agreement signed between us and we'll be ready to distribute for you.

Don't have a UPC code? No problem, we can purchase one for you for $20.

You keep the rights to your music - you did make it!

We'll record your music sales and report to you quarterly. Our commission is just 10% of the royalties that we receive and you are credited with the rest. All you need to do is keep writing and playing your music, and telling your fans that your tunes can be downloaded from all of the major online music sites.

For more information and to sign up simply contact [email protected]"

Holy cow, that bot joined tomorrow.
That's crazy.

Also, the bot lies. With online music distributors, it would actually be better to give away your music.

Very nice, even though there's a few slight typos...

This site somewhat reminds of the ol' chatbox in Kingdom of Loathing... It always amazed me how fast people got banned, but I guess that's what you get for having mods on at almost all hours of the day o:

Ding-ding-ding! We have a winner!

That is one stupid bot, though. Kinda reflects upon its creator, I think :)

I reported it. You should too, probably.

You know that you quoted yourself right? Anyway you have nothing to fear unless you plan to breach the rules.
so very true, but i was killing two birds with one stone, i was addin in what i wanted the easiest way (was to lazy to click edit) and i also got to have a DRAMAZICT PAUZE! yay...

i just think its funny that that guys first post is spam and its on the article saying do not spam. i find that humorous.
