I just got a private message that surprised me. Someone asked me (more or less) why they still had mod powers after I had discontinued the forum mods.
Well, that's because I DIDN'T end the forum mods at all. I simply removed the
mods only forum and disabled the column to the right of the forums showing the forum mods, but that was it. I felt the
mods only forum was mostly used in relation to the Warning Points System program, and those persons able to utilize that function, which after that was terminated, made that forum really not necessary any longer. As for the forum mod column being visible, I just felt it best to remove it, but can't give you any really good answer as to why. I seem to recall thinking that screen real estate would be better served without it, and it didn't really seem to have any good substantial reason for being there other than for my own information. But I can see how some may have interpretted it the way the pm indicated.....
No, all the forum mods who were in place before the above mentioned changes are still in place today. If any feel that the mod column would be better back in place, I will consider doing so if the reasons are persuasive enough.
Sorry about any confusion this may have caused anyone.
