Foz, you are a very good moderator. I'm admin on a forum in my first language and modo on 3 others, and really it is a hard job. I think you are here always in right place, you never judge, you find good words...and this is really difficult. Respect. *And the same for Pizzle.

I have never seen a live Giant Panda, which saddens me. I've seen a stuffed (and presumably dead) one in the Natural History Museum, and I was in Ueno Zoo in Tokyo and quite (not very though, it being the day after my 30th birthday and I was incredibly hungover) bouncy about seeing one there - got to the enclosure only to see a sign letting me know that the Giant Panda they had was currently in Mexico for mating purposes. Fair play to the lad, I say.

live giant pandas are probably overrated and i think having sex in mexico probably is too, so

live giant pandas are probably overrated Definitely - I have a friend who is a zoologist, and she hates them. They are 100% predator-free and live where their foodsource is in utter abundance and unlikely to be threatened by development. But they are dying out because they can't be arsed breeding - and then they have the cheek to have more money spent on them than any other animal because they have such happy little faces. Almost every species of bat in the United Kingdom is either endangered or threatened, and they get bugger all.

I'm sorry for gushing / venting in here, I agree that what I wrote was too intense for what problems this place actually has. Obviously the stuff I was venting about has as much to do with what's going on inside my head / in my life away from this board as anything here. So please don't make too much of my insanity right now and I'll do my best not to make too much of yours

... so that we get less threads where person a says something, person b says something completely different, person c starts a total new subject, and nobody replies to anything that is shared. That, to me, could make this place a nicer place to hang out. That comment is totally Hungry Girl 2006.

I only read the first post of this thread. But Lungsey is sad, and that's not good.
And whatever happened to that Jack fella? Or Sammy? And S0l? Or even Satan?

Well, in somewhat of a reply to your post Foz, but mostly to Lungsey's original question...I came here initially because I was becoming more of a Lanefan, and was looking for both more information and more like-minded people. But I stay here because this is actually one of the friendliest boards that I have been on, and a good size too. Big enough that there's a decent amount of activity, but not too big that there's too much to wade through. Yes, there are occasional flareups, but compared to some of the other places I hang (rekrek and echoingthesound), I don't generally feel like I need to keep my asbestos panties within reach. I would hope that the mods wouldn't have to do much more than deal with the obviously unallowed downloads and the hopefully rare person who needs to be banned. I'm sorry to hear that the mod job seems to entail more than that. I pretty much agree with this sentiment. This board rules. It is a cross section of humanity. There are all types here. Some are more Cliff Clanvenish. Some are like wallpaper. Some are funny some are PO'd. Some all at the same time or at any one time. Most are here for fun and good times. I am on other boards where there is blatant hostility and now the board seems to have eradicated this (pun intended). It is a fun place for so many reasons. It really sux that Foz feels stress of this "Job". This board is great because we are from all over the world and talking about this guy and his activities. It is a little strange and obsessive, but we all usually have fun doing it. But at the same time, everyone has life going on outside this little box and it sometimes rears it's ugly head here. You just have to deal with it and if it gets out of hand Foz will need to get out the belt. Nobody want him to get the belt.
