10 bucks, nice! I guess it is time to sign up again :smile:
 
Thanks mattmns! :)
 
I just signed up for another 6yrs, tough luck PFs
 
Aw, I see you selected the ban free option, with the box of dark chocolate for your favorite mentor.

Wise choice!
 
OMG. A sale. A SALE! ...can't...resist...the pull... Aargh! :eek:
 
could you throw in a free ginsu knife?
 
Oh, good, Greg's online, I can re-up my contributorship then. If I turn yellow or disappear, someone get him quick! :biggrin:

I sent him a PM, but geez, it took a while because I had to clean out enough of my inbox to meet the regular member quota so it would let me send him a message! :eek:
 
  • #12
And, y'know, he just went offline too! Is Chroot around? Anyone? :cry:

I guess MIH and I get a night off from mentoring duties. :biggrin:

Looks like we have two openings for mentors. :smile:

I need to study for my final anyway.

ah HA.. quick guys.. get in here and raid that fish freezer while they've lost their powers! :wink:

Okay, no other mentors contribute until we've been turned green again. We can't all be yellow at the same time. :smile:

I feel so naked without my green badge.

:rolleyes: You don't think our temporary loss of powers leaves us vulnerable to be tossed into the volcano, do you?

Honest, I'm not being funny at all, I'm very miserable and naked having been stripped of my badge and powers. It's horrible being a mere mortal again! :frown:

Better maintain a serious demeanor. Just to be safe.

Thanks...hopefully he can fix our complexion. Yellow just doesn't work for me. I sent him a PM asking to be re-greened. :biggrin:

Oddly, I've just noticed I do have a few moderation tools still available. I can still edit other people's threads, and delete them. :devil: Muwahahahahah!

That's interesting. I've been stripped of my powers. Lemme try something..

*points magic wand at turbo* zzzzpfft.

nope. I got nuttin'. :frown:

I don't anywhere else, but in feedback they seem to still be here. I just have to stay in feedback until I turn green again I guess. Do yours show up in GD?
 
  • #29
hmm.. looks like I still have Edit buttons in Philosophy, but not elsewhere in GD.
 
  • #30
That would makle sense, Moonbear is assigned to feedback and MIH is assigned to philosophy.

Has chroot responded?

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.

No reply from Chroot yet. He might not be noticing another PM in his inbox. :cry:
 
  • #33
I don't see him online anymore. :frown:

OK, Tex! I'm going to infiltrate your account, so that even when you turn green again, I can strike at will.

You think Paul Anka is scary?! I'm scary!

Here's a link to Paul the woosie: (People who don't like obscenities should not click here - Paul may not have been tough, but he was a pottie-mouth and a bully.)

Nobody even notices the yellow people anymore. :frown: I had also sent Doc Al a PM (first green body in the list) to let the other mentor's know, and maybe to more quickly catch Greg or Chroot's attention if they don't read PMs right away, but he disappeared without replying too. I'm starting to think it's a conspiracy...they better be planning a really great surprise party for us in the mentor's forum if they're keeping us locked out this long.

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:)

I am soooo glad that I didn't contribute tonight.

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!

Nope, I think I left his number in my jeans in the mentor's forum. :-p 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: :smile:
