As the new trad games mod, i will invite Zacarias Smith, gently caress movie maker and skrillex cosplayer to the forums so we can start a dialogue and bring peace to the land. Que seja!

I request you change your avatar back to the grumpy old troll.

Also, you've been a good mod. Give the keys to someone cool, plz.

Yo, you've been a super cool mod with a good sense of humor--which is a rarity in and of itself, nevermind in the tradgame hobby as a whole.

I think Happyelf is literally still the most-ignored poster on SA (or at least in the top three), across two separate usernames. Like, both of them are on the list as separate entries.

Here's what you might not remember about happyelf: he's the reason this forum even exists. His argument for it's creation was ignored for years by their brilliant crack team of mods and admins, but has certainly been borne out by the success of the forum, and the entire thing is as he planned for it to be.
