Adam and Twoshadows

**Adam** · 01-21-2008 11:37 PM

Mwahahahahaha! I can already feel the growths starting

**Marvo** · 01-21-2008 11:42 PM

It might take some time to adjust to the extra arm though, Adam.

**Adam** · 01-21-2008 11:49 PM

haha Marvo I just noticed your stars, although the grey does no match

**Marvo** · 01-21-2008 11:57 PM

Yeah, it's made that way to avoid people impersonating admins.

I'm a mix of 3 existing stars and two new, and I've mirrored them and turned them upside down

**Lord Toaster** · 01-22-2008 12:02 AM

I like!

You'd had that pony for so long though. Would've been hard to imagine you as something else

What did you have before it, if anything?

**Marvo** · 01-22-2008 12:12 AM

I had an avatar that looked like cheese, with "Marvo" written on it. No sig picture, but just the text you can see right now.

**Wavefunction** · 01-22-2008 12:55 AM

I remember the cheese one, kind of...

**Mes Tarrant** · 01-22-2008 06:34 AM

Aw I want cheese now.

I like the new look, Marvo!

**Man of Steel** · 01-22-2008 11:11 AM

Wow, can't believe I missed this. Congrats, Adam, Twoshadows! Your stars are well-deserved if you ask me.

Marvo's man needs to be replaced by a teabag.

Initiations are always recorded and carefully archived.

That's how we turn 'em into obedient automatons - with the threat of going public with the initiation rites.

If we let you see, it would spoil the leverage.

**Man of Shred** · 01-22-2008 04:02 PM

congrats to the both of you!!!

**Twoshadows** · 01-23-2008 02:04 AM

Thanks everyone. I'm back and I survived....

I'm ready to get to work and abuse my powers on the mindless cattle in this forum.

Oops, did I say that out loud?

What I really mean is I am now ready to serve my fellow Dreamview dreamers...

pj · 01-23-2008 02:07 AM

I didn't think we issued the cattle prods until AFTER the Initiation Week festivities.

How bad is the initiation for becoming an admin

?

I theorize that their bodies become numb by that point, so it's more like a walk in the park than anything.

I can only picture pj doing his search for "123456" spammers for the first time.

"WTF did I get myself into..."

Being an admin is punishment enough I guess

.

**Adam** · 01-23-2008 02:25 PM

I have seen the scars....

No joke - the first time I did that uncovered over 1800 spammers all registered and ready to start spamming!

And this system offers no easy way to prune based on that parameter... so it was several days of manually banning them... one at a time.

Scars, indeed. I am still being treated for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome from that one, and occasionally I have a spasm where ten or fifteen completely innocent members might find themselves unintentionally banned.

It's getting better. My shrink insists that it's getting better. The last dosage adjustment does seem to have brought a whole new perspective to the universe and all. It's much more pear-shaped than I had originally thought.
