MEHcus and Moose Forum Takeover
15We've got a bit of an update on everyone's favorite forum moderator, @JonT. He left us. No goodbyes. No parting gifts. He just left us.
Left us for bluer skies, a cool breeze, and an ocean view. As we speak, he's probably busy being buried in the sand.
Will he ever come back again? Who knows. So @Moose and I are going to take over and moderate the hell out of this forum. Moose may or may not have a goal to ban someone, I may or may not have a goal to give away the shop. A little good cop, bad cop. Anything could happen.
So here's the deal, while we are in charge, you all do as we say. If you do everything will be fine. If you don't, you'll have to face the wrath of @Moose. We'll run a contest or two to give away some stuff and will even one up the OG moderator by shipping out the prize this week. Crazy, I know. (Don't ask us to ship out any of the prizes @JonT owes you, not gonna happen.) And we're gonna see if we can draw a few forum lurkers out of the woods to come in and join the fun with us so that when (if) JonT gets back he'll have some new folks to get to know.
TL;DR @JonT left us for vacation, @Moose and @MEHcus are taking over this week so tag us if you need things, not JonT. Things will happen. Prizes.

I hope @JonT enjoys his time off. Try not to fuck up his space while he's gone.
@PurplePawprints
@PurplePawprints I hope @JonT brings us something.
@KDemo Are you saying he may not?
@MEHcus Dude - I just saw that episode over the weekend. That part was hilarious.
@beachbum If it's anything like his promises of sending out prizes, don't hold your breath.
@Barney shots fired @JonT
@TaRDy Hey, I've been patiently waiting for my goat prize. Why, I've even let @JonT go on vacation. I think that's pretty nice of me. I'm not even complaining that I don't have my, uh, how does @joelmw describe it, my "tits up" goat badge. So I'm still waiting, patiently. Kind of.
@Barney Yeah, @MEHcus, @Moose. If you really want to impress us, do a solid for the old goats. Or, yaknow, just suck.
Holy shit you scared me!
Takes two of you to do what one @JonT does, hm? There'd better be prizes, because we could make it take five or six of you.
@editorkid Watch your back...
@Moose ... or nine or ten of you ...
"Vacation" is a funny term for "7 days of high-level guild raids in some MMORPG whilst wearing just underpants". But hey, whatever works.
@Starblind +1
@Starblind Level 35 Comment Wizard
@Starblind damn, got me while I was in my underpants just finished playing some PS4...
So he needed to get away and do nothing to get a break from his job where he does nothing......ok.....says the guy posting on a forum in the middle of his work day
No 100% true. He left me and @chadp gifts.
I got two packets of hot sauce and @chadp got @jont's snacks.
@hollboll "No 100% true." Nice grammaring, geez.
@MEHcus is literally the worst.
@MEHcus this is not going to be a good week for me, is it?
@hollboll that's an accurate statement.
@hollboll Did he actually give you those things or did you just take them while his desk was unguarded?
@jqubed Hey, she had no choice. The sea monkeys were hungry and the hot sauce was just lying there.
@jqubed, I actually hate hot sauce or anything spicy so... maybe forced is the right word?
@hollboll More of a hazing, then?
@hollboll When you don't capitalize @JonT I think you're writing @joint I have a feeling there is a difference between @JonT's snacks... and @Joint snacks...
@sohmageek Yeah, @jont's snacks are more like spicy cashews. @joint's snacks are more like puffy Cheetos and Takis.
@hollboll Also I think the state of mind is a little different... :)
@MEHcus too bad it was a question!
Hey, could you go over to his desk and find our goat prizes? And send them to us old goats?
Thanks much.
@lisaviolet apparently someone only went with the TL;DR version
@lisaviolet This was addressed in the original post. No prize for you.
@MrMark I read it. I don't follow instruction well, though. I'm a rebel. A southern California rebel.
@MEHcus Yeah, yeah, yeah, I read it. No prize for ANYbody.
@Lotsofgoats This makes me laugh.
@lisaviolet it's one of those perfect internet pictures. thank you internet, I love you internet.
@MEHcus @Moose There better be purple. @JonT lavishes me in purple.
@Barney
@MEHcus Gee, after all that hard work, I bet you want the rest of the day off.
good, great, awesome. @hollboll, @moose, sign up for the beer fuku! two days left.
@JonT OUT
@JonT Hey this is @Moose and I's forum now, get out.
@JonT What are you doing here? Shoo, scram! Go vacate or something. BTW - where's the fire extinguisher? no reason...
@JonT
Enjoy your vacation or whatever.
@JonT
@JonT
@Moose That's super.
@JonT Stop looking at the forum. Go have fun. Bye.
@MEHcus
How does that go? Oh, yeah: "Nice grammaring, geez."
Ah, @joelmw. there you are. I was beginning to think @christinewas had done something . . .
So this means it's time to...
@Thumperchick
Will this be another example that power corrupts, or will @MEHcus and @Moose be benevolent overlords?
JonT just tweeted his first vacation picture! Looks like he's having fun, although I think he's tanning a little unevenly.
@Starblind Does his fiancé know about the other woman? Or uh, is this vacation at Hedonism?
Ugh, where am I going to get all my cool reaction gifs from now.
@DrunkCat http://www.reactiongifs.com/
@DrunkCat http://imgur.com/r/reactiongifs
@jont You forgot to pick me up! I'm all packed and ready to go.
@looseneck I am no longer afraid of clowns.
@looseneck DAMN!!! They told me that was a one of a kind outfit when they sold it to me. Lying bastards!
@looseneck She's pretty fricking hot.
I'm certain @moose and @MEHcus will have things completely under control
@moose @mehcus just make sure you are looking out for
@moose @mehcus
Can I be the first one banned?
@mfladd Ooh please please please!
Anarchy!!!!
@Teripie First an east/west civil war. Now this? Let the revolution begin!
@mfladd Let's do this!!!!
@Teripie
@lisaviolet @Teripie
This is our day!
@Moose @MEHcus Should we see how much toilet paper we could get to JonT while he is on vacation? Could you imagine this...
@sohmageek Yes, that but with a big-ass fake spider somewhere.
@Starblind why fake?
@sohmageek Surely @Moose @MEHcus are going to TP his work space, right? Or wrap it in saran wrap? Or fill it with balloons or packing peanuts or bags of Texas air? C'mon, I have faith that they will take advantage of this opportunity.
Fuck yea. Another opportunity to get "prizes". Otherwise known as soul crushing disappointment.
@studerc But this time you're assured of getting the prize.
@studerc I've offered to send you a goat prize. Thinking of which I have a box to send out at some point....
@studerc Not me. I've already been told "no prize for you".
It's elder abuse, pure and simple.
@lisaviolet we don't get prizes?!
@mfladd I don't get a prize. I already broke the "don't ask for prizes that JonT was suppose to send" rule.
I don't care. I never win anything anyway. Here's my message to the wannabe mods...
"You'll NEVER replace @JonT!!!"
can we still write shit and ass? (not that I care but I had to write something.)
@cranky1950 Just don't say "fuck." They hate it when you say "fuck." Fucking seriously.
@sammydog01 There's always one........ :)
@sammydog01 don't roll over for the imposters. Rise up!
@sammydog01 Wimp.
@hollboll How come you didn't get offered a share of the mod duties this week?
@dashcloud You know, sea monkeys...
@dashcloud She would obviously be too nice and orderly. @JonT picked @mehcus and @moose cause he knows it will make him look really good. He will probably get a raise when he gets back.
@galmaegi Yes, a mother's work is never done.
@Teripie Yup. I saw @hollboll taking good care of those sea monkeys this morning. She was giving oxygen by blowing air bubbles. Aw...
That would have been much more exciting without the TL;DR.
Did i win?
Have we played anything yet?
@moose @MEHcus will you actually ship the prizes?
@jaybird Cross my heart
I'm assuming this means that we'll all be getting a nice award of some sort.
