The mod choosing method is that they take they make a list of the people who post the most in a forum, ask those people who they think would make a good mod, and that becomes their candidate list. If you got a message it's because you post a lot, if you didn't you should post more.

n o one asked me who i thought should be a moderator and i post all the time.

Clever Betty
Anime (アニメ?, [anʲime] ; are Japanese animated productions featuring hand-drawn or computer animation. The word is the abbreviated pronunciation of "animation" in Japanese, where this term references all animation. In other languages, the term is defined as animation from Japan or as a Japanese-disseminated animation style often characterized by colorful graphics, vibrant characters and fantastic themes. Arguably, the stylization approach to the meaning may open up the possibility of anime produced in countries other than Japan. For simplicity, many Westerners strictly view anime as an animation product from Japan.

The earliest commercial Japanese animation dates to 1917, and production of anime works in Japan has since continued to increase steadily. The characteristic anime art style emerged in the 1960s with the works of Osamu Tezuka and spread internationally in the late twentieth century, developing a large domestic and international audience. Anime is distributed theatrically, by television broadcasts, directly to home media, and over the internet and is classified into numerous genres targeting diverse broad and niche audiences.

Anime is a diverse art form with distinctive production methods and techniques that have been adapted over time in response to emergent technologies. The production of anime focuses less on the animation of movement and more on the realism of settings as well as the use of camera effects, including panning, zooming and angle shots. Diverse art styles are used and character proportions and features can be quite varied, including characteristically large emotive or realistically sized eyes.

The anime industry consists of over 430 production studios including major names like Studio Ghibli, Gainax and Toei Animation. Despite having a fraction of the domestic film market, anime achieves a majority of DVD sales and has been an international success after the rise of televised English dubs. This rise in international popularly has resulted in non-Japanese productions using the anime art style, but these works have been defined as anime-influenced animation by both fans and the industry.

rodyle are you named after the villain from tales of symphonia

that's the only place i've ever seen the name 'rodyle' but he's a fairly minor villain so i dont know why anyone would name themselves after him

Two pages back but I really liked the name Magnius from Tales of Symphonia. It was really cool.

The character himself was less cool.

I must say, although Dick Spacious is honestly one of the best posters here and never deserved it, the fact that he got probated like clockwork was kind of hilarious.

I've got the advantage. You've got nothing.
If I was cool enough to remember what anime I watched, and was able to form a thought with actual substance about what I watched, I would have done that here by now.

But since I can't do that much anymore, all I can offer this new mod guy is a heartfelt congratulations, and best wishes on your new reign of terror.

I just want to know why all those people kept calling you Baal.

Is it a derivative of the slang term denoting familiarity and/or casual speech, 'pal?' This is very important to me.

tales of symphonia had some cool villain names

magnius, rodyle, pronyma, forcystus, kratos, remiel, yggdrasil

way better than hearts where everyone has a lame gem name like sailor moon villains

To be fair, I'm pretty sure at least the last three originate from mythology or whatever.

Not that this excuses Tales of Hearts, I'm sure.

I should really buy myself a bigger memory card and get Hearts R for Vita but I haven't even finished Graces f or Xillia so I doubt I'd be able to finish that either.
