I have a question that is probably quite unimportant, but i am going to put it out there anyway :) . I recall the whole 200k celebration from some months ago, complete with a beautiful icon and all...So, i was under the impression that it was meant to celebrate the forum having 200k members. Just a few minutes ago though, i noticed the board mentioning 197k + members. So the question becomes obvious: what is the actual membership of the forum? Did membership decrease due to some internal reorganization of the member database, or did i just misread that number? I am aware of how unimportant the issue is, i just thought that this would be the only thread where i could address it in :)

We dumped a lot of members when we updated the software, mostly banned members, adbot, non verified mebers and the like.
 
Regarding the Demi Mod question.

If it is for one of our games, we tend to recruit from the beta testers (by posting an offer to apply).
If one of the third party games request a DM we look at who is active in that forum.

1) Then they must also have a pretty clean record.
2) Be active.
3) Generally be a positive and helpful poster.

We then get feedback from forum staff, then BiB and myself decide from a short list.

Of course, just like real life, who you know counts as well and it is possible to get parachuted in for a particular reason.
 
If we're not getting extra inbox space by default, could we buy it, maybe with GG Blue Coins? :)

They conduct a rigourous training session on Dagobah. Personally, I had to run around a forest with Johan on my back lifting spacecraft out of lakes with my mind before going into a cave to fight an apparition of King, but when I chopped his head off it was my face I saw. Johan thought I wasn't ready to be a mod yet but Darkrenown reminded him that if I failed, there was always my twin sister RedRachelWiggum.

We did a few month ago I think. I'm not sure what happened, since I don't drink coffee I hardley noticed.
We do have a small machine someone brought from home though, I wonder if it comes from that period. :)

Don't be sad! I think it's a good thing that we have so many active sensible and helpful members to choose from when we need a new demi-mod. It's you guys that make this forum a really nice place to hang out in!

That's actually not a bad idea. I'm talking here about a few classics, like Two Thrones or Europa Universalis I.
I can't imagine those actually raise any money, and people might wonder what those games actually were.
I know I don't know the details of either.
