I'm serious here:
Do you guys think that NG is one HUGE family?
Some people are very popular and are known throughout the site. Some are regular posters who enjoy helping people. Others come to the forums to have fun.
Here is how I think of it:
Administrators = Grandparents
Moderators = Parents
Users = Children
Users can face punishment from mods or admins. Mods can face punishment from an admin. Thus that makes the admins most respected and the mods 2nd most respected.
So, to everyone here, would you consider NG as one huge family?
Yes there are the jackasses out there but we got to put up with them. The mods (parents) will deal with those naughty children
