You know, even your avatar looks frustrated.

But I see the point regarding bandwidth. Maybe we should consider donations or something to keep the forum up and running. I'm curious, is Bear the only one funding this board? How much money are we talking about here?

Like I said, just because they don't post doesn't mean they're active. I could stop posting all together and see how many people decide I'm an inactive mod, all the while doing my duties still. You guys don't have access to the information that shows how active a person on here is or not other than the post count. I don't think there will be any intention of letting that information be public either.

...wow. I never realized that. ^-^;;

However, I'm not the one to talk to on how much the bandwidth we use on here costs. That's Bear. He's pretty much providing everything on this board for everyone.

I'm not saying like the other Moderators aren't doing there job or anything because they are, but I think that Bear is the one thats providing a lot of stuff on the board 4 everyone.

Idealistic aren't we? At least I have an idea of what modding takes. A LOT OF TIME.

like said before, there are pro's and cons of removing the babble board. Pros: Bandwith cuts down, Bear gains $$. Cons: All the useless babble goes to the other boards, Bandwith increases, Bear looses $$. Unless we can somehow block all the useless babble that will appear on the other boards...

You're only young once, but you're NEVER too old to be immature.

because, then we're back to this:
Just so you guys know, I'm sick of spending hours to check the messages here and barely any time to check the messages anywhere else on this forum. c.c;;


Tsukasa is right... mods shouldn't have to wade through all those useless posts... it's boring!
Only in dreams; We see what it means
Reach out our hands; Hold on to hers
But when we wake; It's all been erased
And so it seems; Only in dreams

I would suggest a different type of moderation process.

The Babble Board crew is non-offensive anyway; spending hours reviewing each message is simply not necessary.

I think it may be best for the babbla board to be deleted, since it seems money is being wasted on more meaningless posts than .hack posts. I would think the mods wouldn't want to look at the posts on the bable board. Sometimes I scan through all of the new posts on the babble board and some of it is just plain meaningless crap! That's my opinion and that's all I have to say.
