When in doubt, read the FAQ.
Then ask a smart question.
Were they really? My memory's not that long lived. Wow, I don't remember those elections at all. Though I don't think some of the mods from when we used blood on cave walls to write were elected...like the first ones...ah well it doesn't matter...now we elect.
On the old board, the need for moderators was established. When floated on the GD board, a whole load of threads about who should and should not be moderators were started, varying from the reasoned debate to the raging lunatic. These became rationalised and rationalised until, although they wern't technically elected, the same names appeared over and over again. These people woke up one morning to find they had moderator attributes. That is my recollection, however, it was a while ago.

Never really wanted to be a mod but just wondered what kinda people ran this place. Thats all. Oh the irony I call my life.
Will you let me be a mod if i let you in on a little secret?
