    What's the difference between a moderator and super moderator?

    Moderators mod individual forums. "Super" moderators can in theory (rarely in practice) mod almost any forum. The only time I'd get involved in someone else's forum would be to deal with spam, illegal content or similar things when the actual forum staff aren't online.

    I know, isn't it great?

    ABC news breakfast today was almost entirely about Cleo.

    Hate social media because people still saying the parents are not entirely innocent in all this, and that there is more to come.

    Very hard to get excrement to stick on a professional psychopath.

    I see the parrot is leaving skynews after they cancelled his prime time show.

    Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

    I wonder if his little discussions with craig "anti-vax sack o' shit" kelly a few weeks back was a factor.

    I admit to tearing up.

    Hey, @Miss Chicken and @Teacock, can you see the aurora named after me (:D ) from your place?

    Sorry, I did not look out of the window last night so I did not see an aurora.

    I don't get it there's train cars in NYC that have been running for decades without cracking or falling apart, yes I know bad comparison but these things are not even old yet they have cracks..... What are they made of, cardboard?
