In summary: or if... our powers are restored, I can still be a mentor.:uhh: You don't think our temporary loss of powers leaves us vulnerable to be tossed into the volcano, do you? :uhh: You don't think our temporary loss of powers leaves us vulnerable to be tossed into the volcano, do you? I don't think so. I'm just trying to be safe. :smile:I don't think so. I'm just trying to be safe.

It must be the forums we were assigned to that are still working...really weird that we'd retain some but not all mentor powers.

I think anyone can be assigned to moderate a forum and always have their powers in that forum. To appear green and to have powers everywhere you'd need to be in the moderator usergroup. I presume you got swapped from this to the contributor usergroup automatically when you updated your subscription.

It seems to be the case. We're not SUPER mentors anymore. :frown:

Oh Moonbear; you're all super in our eyes!

Have I avoided a ban for my attempted raid on the fish yet? o:)

Yeah, me too! I hope you're keeping an eye on cristo and the fish locker!

I think Greg has to designate official times for mentors to contribute when he'll stick around to re-green us.

Have you tried calling him?

Don't you dare!

Evo said:

Nope, I think I left his number in my jeans in the mentor's forum. :tongue: Actually, I just don't know if it's too late to call him since he's offline. He was up late with the upgrades, so might be crashing early tonight.

Talk about a crash course on mentoring...if we all contributed tonight and left you to run the whole shop on your first weekend of mentoring...:devil: :rofl:

Thanks for the call Astro! :)

Thanks, Greg!

So, I have Astro to thank for making the emergency call?

Thanks both of you!

Yes, thank you, too, Astro!

Thanks, Greg!
Just relax and don't worry about a thing, MIH. I have a trojan app buried deep in your account that can be activated with a keystroke. Then, like Paul Anka, I can slash like a hammer! (OK, I'm not sure exactly what that means, but he makes it sound really bad...)

Now...where's Cristo? I have to talk to him about some fish. :devil:

Hey, now. Better not! :grumpy:
p.s. I am listening to Allison Krauss and Robert Plant on iTunes.

*chompf* Mmm...yum. Hmm...maybe we can overlook a few missing fish. :uhh:

:rofl::rofl::rofl: That would be a bit to handle today. [I suspect that Astronuc would handle it spectacularly] It seemed very strange the first time that I was the only staff member online, but back then we only had about 3000 members. :biggrin:
 
  • #61
Uh oh, we gave the yellow bug to Ivan too!
 
  • #62
It looks strange people being in yellow when you've only ever seen them in green. What a strange forum quirk. I bet when Greg implemented this offer he didn't think he could have lost his whole staff in one night.

I renewed my contribution 2 days before I became mentor. I don't know the renewal would have affected me.

Fortunately Evo remained green.


I was in another forum and saw Moobear in gold, and thought that she was still a mentor, but gold instead of green. When I came back to this thread, I landed on page 1 where I had last looked and where Moonbear was talking about renewing. Then I realized there were more posts, and I found that MIH was gold. Greg wasn't online at that point, so I wasn't sure a PM or email would work. That's when I called him, and a few minutes later, Moobear and MIH were restored.

Ivan's green again. Who's next? :biggrin:

I lost my green. :shy::uhh: :wink:

That is my money when contributing.

That was never going to work really was it. Suppose I better send all my Christmas chocolate before I get punished.

Now that will work. :approve:

I was going to yell at someone about the bad math on the subscription page but decided search for an explanation as to why 1 yr cost $10, 6 yrs costs $75, but the note says you get a discount for doing the 6 yr plan.

I may not understand linear algebra, but I'm smart enough to know that there was something wrong with someones math.

Anyways, consider me signed up.
