[Question] What's the mod situation?

*Prowler* · 09-24-2026, 02:45 PM

I've seen mods come and go throughout the years. But, the thing is, even those who haven't posted or come to the forums in ages haven't lost their mod status. Voltron was the only one to lose it, and that was due to a lot of drama brewing from an incident with a few different users.

GK told me one time that he's done some "ninja modding" throughout the years.

I remember when it was Machias and Jester doing all the modding. Then Venom and a guy with Raph as his avatar doing mod work as well. Jester seems to be the only one left, very occasionally dropping by.

Barkworm seems to be the only active mod nowadays. And I remember he was absent for a long time.

Is it really fair for mods who haven't been here in a decade or so to maintain their mod status? Also, I just want to know what exactly is the current mod situation for transparency sake. I think we deserve to be clarified on that. Is it just Barkworm nowadays?

I was going to say DarthRaphael but I guess he hasn't been around since 2017. Here he was closing one of my threads (his last act, apparently):

Why did you refer to Christians and Catholics as two separate things? Catholics are Christians, just like Protestants and Orthodox are.

Also LOL at TTN saying this to Cubed.

I said before, this place should be run like "The Hunger Games," "Squid Game," "Survivor" or "The Last Man Standing."

People should get banned one after the other until there is almost nobody left. People should get banned for sneezing the wrong way. Even if winds up being myself one day, I'd like to see people "eliminated" like a game show one after the other until this place becomes a ghost town.

LOL that guy was an idiot. I know he had a brain tumour at some point, but there's no way it was fully responsible for his behaviour and opinions.

Also, I used to think he was like 80 years old or something. I was shocked when he said he was around 36 or so only??

Ah, come to think of it, I don't believe I've ever posted drunk here.

The more you learn about what people here are in real life, the more you realize what kind of people we've been interacting with on the drome. There are a lot of sickos out there.

Stay safe, everyone.

I have kept myself grounded on many occasions here through this philosophy. "Let's SEE the clown doing the provoking.... Let's see this gu.... uh. Ah. Okay".

**Barkworm** · 09-25-2026, 01:39 PM

I suggested a couple of new mods a while ago and Krang said he'd look into it. But he only makes an appearance about once a year so nothing's become of that so far.

Also, since this is not the first time I've read about my "absence" that took place about ten years ago: I had three kids and bought a house. Modding this place wasn't exactly a priority for me.

wife needs to understand the drome needs more babysitting than her 3 kids.

Super Mod? What's the difference between that and a regular mod? I remember when Jester's jurisdiction was restricted to the TMNT sessions.

Also, it's kinda crazy that this thread of mine summoned you

. You do the occasional ninja modding?

I guess I should feel flattered that you consider me an upstanding citizen despite not knowing me

Machias can eat my whole ass, by the way.

A very pretty lady, though, if I recall. I think I felt bad about snapping back at her after I saw some of her pics.

She can ban me any time
