    Well, after reading some of the topics that I missed while I was gone, I have been inspired to start this one. The title is pretty self-explanatory: start a big, fat list of reasons why we love Tal, BTA, and Ex.

    Go for it!

    Hmm, let's see...
    I love Tal because he's a hunk of sexy....Oh, wait, I didn't mean to say that out loud. ;) I love Tal because, first and foremost, he started Sorcerer's Place. He ponies up $140 a month, not to mention the time and effort to keep up with everything, just so the likes of you and I can have something that we look forward to everyday. And not only that, he's tough, and he sticks to his guns and doesn't put up with stupid people. Actually, I could say that about all the moderators, but Tal's the one I see most. I greatly admire a certain quality of character in a person. It makes them interesting.
    Why I love BTA? Oddly enough, I enjoy his sense of humour. Don't get me wrong, I think he's a fantastic moderator, and he definitely fits the bill for the 'toughness' factor, but he always cracks me up. Even when he's laying down the law. Though I don't think I'd want to be on the wrong side of his wrath.
    And Extremist...Well, of course, his avatar is awesome. That is the most important thing. :D I've found him to be very logical, and very good at explaining the rules--right before he closes a thread. For very good reasons, all. And I'm always fond of biting sarcasm. He reminds me that there are those that can do it gracefully.
    So, in conclusion....I love you all :love: :love: :love:

    We actually have five mods, but no one cares about the last two ;)
    We worship Tal as without him, our live would have no meaning. Sure, sometimes he can be an ass, but then, can't we all?
    It seems that all our mods have a powerful sarcastic streak, which is not such a bad thing :)

    Because they don't let people become a moderator if they are a jackass.

    BTA: the humor, the hints.
    Ex: Tips, tricks and hints, patches and stuff like that.
    Tal: This site, his knowledge and, most important, for locking these 4 annoying threads.

    For keeping this site running: Show your appreciation with words AND money.... :holy:

    140 USD is around 85-90 pounds I think.

    Anyway, BTA is the only moderator worthy of love on this site. Not that the others aren't great or anything, it's just that BTA has that certain special something... that air of je ne sais quoi... you just can't help but love him. ;)
