i was for a small forum for my high school. it didnt get a lot of traffic but some of the geeks posted there and we would make fun of jocks. i had the honor of banning all the stupid bots that signed up as well as stupid kids from other schools that thought their school was better than our school.

unfrotunately the school board found out about it my senior year and made me shut it down :(

How can a mod shut down a forum?

I helped run a TFC forum, kind of enjoyed it. We had an altogether pleasant group of members, there wasn't really anything for a mod to do.

Yep. Moderator on a NationStates analogue of the-forum-that-shall-not-be-named, and moderator on a secret forum of Forumplanet (which led to global deletion once it was discovered).

He always had a lot to offer, just the delivery part was lacking.

Owner of several forums, was admin and mod at other forums at one point, but I own those now. Seems when I become mod or admin at a forum I somehow end up owning it eventually. All smaller forums, was never interested about being mod at a big one. Too much BS to deal with.

I was a moderator then promoted to admin at theautolounge.net

Then I demoted myself... to regular member ^_^. I didn't want to be part of the staff team since nobody was doing anything to better promote and grow the website. Now is that dedication???
