I remember an old member named Schmitti. I think it was he and Drum who put me up to be a mod, honestly before the invention of the Iphone... I think the first thing I did in the mod section was find any post where Azzy had called me names and reply...lol.
Some of our mods knew how to handle people, and take a joke, and handle a problem. I miss a bunch of them. I don't think I have ever had as big an argument with anyone on line as I once had with Harb, which culminated in me deleting all the links to the cartoons I used to post; still we got along great after that.
I saw the return of a couple of members who had dropped off, here on the new server. That's cool. Would be glad to see more. Sometimes you see someone posting up about selling all their gear, and quitting, and you can see how the attrition rate has exceeded the new intake in a world with facebook, and a reddit paintball section. It's always hard to see the good ones retire. The single best way to get rid of a good member that I know of, is to make them a moderator... so many times we've crowned someone, just to have them completely disappear.
