Was done yesterday so he could send a load of pms out at quickly rather than only being able to send 2 every 5 minutes. Only a temp thing... Or, he's coming to replace you as you weren't here when we voted
Just read about it on the mod board mate, just went to edit my post but saw you had answered it already And if he is here to replace anyone then he'll replace Gerrez #4thchoicemod #inb4obsessedcommentfromGerrez
You can take it away from me any time you like. I'm deliberately not exploring what abilities I have and only using it to update the closed Mafia3 thread. (which is just about ready - I might as well open)
What the **** were you doing up this early on a Sunday and why the **** are you stealing Dribs' only job on the board?
So he should and I vote we now reveal our true mafia selfs milk and take over. This has all been a long seated plan of wishi's to get back at you lot for annoying her so much
Don't even know where it is... tempted to visit the sexy poll though! - it's probably just filled with pictures of MattH though.
Had to get up early that day and I was bored. Besides, I actually started this. Dribs just wished everyone a happy birthday, if it was their birthday, so I started to check to see whose birthday it actually was.
