When I was first a mod, back in 2007, we all worked with separate forums. I was an LBN mod back then. But when I came back a couple of years later, all the mods worked together on all the forums and it worked well, but I'm not sure how it will work with the hosts. First of all, will all the hosts for all the forums remain as hosts? I'll be cool with it if there's no fighting. When I was a mod, we got along pretty much the same way we do in MIRT.

Seems tragic. Can't get to a historical site because of a prison. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #2

Bummed the hell out of me at the time... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #3

You would think they would make accommodations for people. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #4

They did, by restricting access 10 out of 12 months of the year... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #5

I hope you get to see it soon. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #6

Me too! Apparently, the flowers that surrounded his bed as he passed are still there! Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #7

Wow! They must take great care of the place. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #8

I'm guessing they just don't mess with it... Cooley Hurd Jul 2014 #9

I love cemeteries Horance Greenly is buried right by my brother-in-law's mother. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #14

My grandmother always took us to cemeteries when I was a kid Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #15

Weird, I was just discussing this with a friend on Thursday! Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #23

I would too. I went as a kid when we did a trip to the capital region. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #24

I heard that. As you know, I think that's a terrible idea Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #25

And addictive. It will destroy families. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #36

A friend of a friend of mine got stuck at the "Racino" in Saratoga Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #37

Just completely wrong. I wonder how many people that happens to. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #38

No doubt more than we ever hear about. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #39

I wonder if the race tracks or casinos feel guilty or do anything to get them home. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #40

I doubt it, must happen pretty frequently. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #41

My cosinworks in one and he says degenerates tend to go there. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #42

The track attracts the very rich and very poor. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #43

Sounds like fun. Belmont is fun to go to sometimes. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #44

And many of those same horses come to Saratoga in August Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #45

That's pretty much what happened with the mods, as well. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #62

I notice group hosts are getting the boot. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #63

Well, they just can't post in the host forum. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #64

I wish I was as good at remembering names as some are. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #82

Why don't they have one? hrmjustin Jul 2014 #83

I'm not sure, but that would be at the top of my wish list. Rhiannon12866 Jul 2014 #84

maybe I will get to an ata post about it. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #85
