I noticed this topic but LGW had been offline so I couldn't reply. It's become pretty obvious that Matt is seemingly done with this place, along with the other mods outside of one rarely popping in. I've attempted contact with Matt for a few years with no reply, unfortunately he is the only one that can promote users to moderators.
I'll commit to checking back here and trying to get involved again, clearing out the spam accounts and try to keep an eye on things if you guys still want me around. My only stipulation is I really want to keep political discussion and politics off the boards, this became an issue of why I left the first time around, I was the only one trying to regulate it and the normal users here refused to end politics here, I got tired of having to constantly remind people.
That's where i'm at with it, if the politics can be kept at a minimum and we make an attempt to follow the guidelines of what LGW was long before the activity dropped off, i'll stop by here at least 3-4 times a week and try to be around for GDTs also. I'm also willing to loosen up a lot on certain things, stuff like users ragging on each other, as long as it's friendly enough, i'll toss "personal attacks" out the window unless it gets way out of hand. We've known each other long enough to know what to expect from each other by now, and i'm fine with that.
Just let me know if you guys want me to be part of this going forward, I am on HFBoards a lot now because this place died off so fast when the team started sucking. I wouldn't mind being a regular around here again.
