We have a new admin as of today. The famous (or is it infamous) MikeZ (aka "*") has agreed to to assist us.

For those of you who don't know Mike, he has been a long time advocate of the 914. He is one of the first people to signup here when 914club started, and is a wealth of knowledge, plus a really "ahem" quirky sense of humor. Despite being 914 deprived at this time, the admin staff welcomes him to our ranks.


Let me be the first to say "Welcome".

After trashing you over on the Bird Board I'll be expecting to be banned often.


Oh ya,

Posted by: Part Pricer Mar 10 2006, 07:56 AM

This is a joke, right? Hmm...I just checked the calendar and it's March 10, not April 1.

If it's not, I guess all rules are out the window. Not that it matters to me, but it may to some others, I just closely examined his avatar. Yes, she is naked.

Posted by: SLITS Mar 10 2006, 07:58 AM

Well, that does it....I'm banning myself to the Bird Board......."*" = Admin = oxymoron

MikeZ as Admin?? Well thats good as we need some humor around here.

and the next step is for Miles to be a admin, right?

or we could have Monique's pet monkey, Rasta as one.....

Posted by: Lawrence Mar 10 2006, 09:06 AM

I think Clay is just tired of being the newest admin (read: guy who does bitch work and buys beer).

Zois will be an excellent admin bitch.

Congrats, dude. Welcome. It was good to talk to you last week.

For my first official act.....

I'm banning Howard and SLITs.....

Figures. Can't out smart 'em or beat 'em at the track, just ban them.
Where are my W/S banners?

I think this is a good move.
very cool.

congrats mike!

(oh and when I said this was cool, I'm not telling if I was refering to making mike an admin, or banning slits and howard?)

Posted by: skline Mar 10 2006, 10:16 AM

Now this is a surprise. I would have never though Zois as an Admin. What is this world coming to? An admin with a gun, I am beside myself. I can hardly wait to see Mikey act normal.

Posted by: redshift Mar 10 2006, 10:19 AM

It's not official until Z is christened with a 6-pack of Old Mi'wawkee, and wakes up with cat pee on his shirt.

No....it was a meeting of the minds.

Successful negotiation of differences of opinions CAN be more goal oriented than a public bashing, fistfight or outright war.....

I respect the decisionmakers and when they asked me to join the ranks of the "venomous admins".....I mulled my answer over.....I've been here since the beginning and "generally" like what's going on.....so I figured once I sold one or more of my 356s and got another 914 or better yet....the "Rocket" back... what better resource than here?

So...yeah there were retreats on both sides....but it was mutual. But it don't mean that I lost balls either...

Posted by: reverie Mar 10 2006, 01:17 PM

Just curious about the process..

The other admins got a memo that Mike is now an admin? Who has the power to write such a memo? I think only Andy has that power, and he hasn't posted on this thread yet. Until Andy says something, I think we can assume this is another joke from Clay.

Posted by: ClayPerrine Mar 10 2006, 01:26 PM

It's not a joke. We had a long discussion in the admin forum about this. Everyone signed off on it. I just got the dirty job of posting the news.

actually, i saw this special on nova, looks like we're heading for a magnetic pole flip. within the next 1000 years or so, could even happen within our lifetime ...

on average, the poles flip every 200,000 years or so, with a brief (~1000 year period) inbetween where there are up to 8 poles! all over the planet and the van allen belt disappears until it's back to dual poles ...
meaning MAJOR cosmic radiation onslaught during the flip. better invest in skin-cancer products stock right now ...

Don't forget Faraday too. I always thought it was the field that flipped but maybe the good old earth roles over. You guys down south starting to feel like you're at the North Pole yet. If you guys get lucky when the world quits tumbling maybe you'll end up in Rio. Not a bad place to land. Must be close to Carnivale now. Party down.

Hi All,

I never met this Mr. Mike * & question the Administrators decision?? I am reading that Mr. Mike will settle down and grow up. I advise our administrators to kick him to the curb if he lets you down.

That being said, I trust your judgement and welcome Mr. Mike Hope he brings new idea's and growth to this wonderful 914 group.

Thanks Andy for your guidancce. I know it's hard to find people who work free.

And maybe people from MI will learn to appreciate humor?

Growing up and growing old are not something that have to be done in equal increments. Just because you are getting older doesn't mean you have to became a stodgy old curmudgeon asswipe....

As for my second admin chore....I sentence you to hang from the neck until you cheer up......
