13:40 +++ Buffybot has given op to OldMaster3
13:50 OldMaster3 Okay, I'm all by myself in here. Starting to get a complex..............
13:52 OldMaster3 99 bottles of beer on the wall......99 bottles of beeeer......I dunno the rest of the words........98 bottles of beer on the wall.
13:53 *** HisMrs joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
13:54 HisMrs Hey!
13:54 OldMaster3 Well howdy!
13:54 OldMaster3 I was starting to run out of beers on the wall!
13:54 OldMaster3
13:55 HisMrs LOL!! Sorry... Hopefully more people will show up in a few.
13:56 HisMrs I just posted on the VH Twitter thing about it...
13:57 OldMaster3 Nah, from what I've seen from past transcripts, these things aren't usually very crowded. It's fine.
13:57 OldMaster3 But without my interviewer, this thing would be a bust.
😛
13:57 HisMrs Ok, cool beans... Just let me know when you're ready to start with the questions.
🙂
13:58 OldMaster3 In a couple of minutes, then.
13:59 HisMrs Cool beans. I have a bunch of good questions for ya.
😉
14:00 OldMaster3 Just have a couple of Modly things to do, then I'll be ready for ya....
14:01 OldMaster3 Okay, all done. Let's boogie.
😀
14:02 HisMrs Sweet! Well thank you, OM, for doing this! We've got a nice mix of standard and not-so-standard questions for you today.
😉
14:02 *** Tsquared joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
14:03 HisMrs Hey, T! You're just in time.
14:03 Tsquared Hello!
14:03 Tsquared Yeah, finally!
14:03 Tsquared lol
14:03 OldMaster3 Howdy, TSquared.
14:03 HisMrs LOL Ok, OM, our first question comes to you from chatwuann: How long have you been a mod?
14:04 OldMaster3 Oh joy. A really tough question. How shall I ever answer this one?? I can't do it! I CAN'T!!!
14:04 OldMaster3 Nooooo, I'm kidding of course.
14:04 Tsquared lol
14:05 HisMrs LOL
14:06 OldMaster3 Wow....It's actually been a while. My modhood may have begun as far back as 2004. Friggin' Egyptian times!
14:07 OldMaster3 God only knows what went through Buffy's mind, making my crazy ass a Mod.
😛
14:08 HisMrs Wow!! You have probably been on staff longer than anyone else here other than Buffy herself, huh?
14:09 OldMaster3 Yes, I'm the last of the Old Guard of 2004-2006 under Buffy. Now it's just me and a bunch of layabouts! Ugh!! Nooooo....I kid...I kid. I work with a great crew whom I love.
14:09 HisMrs LOL!! Sweet... Chatwuann also asks you: "Have you learned anything from the experience of moderating a forum?"
14:10 Tsquared oh snap! lol
14:10 OldMaster3 I haven't learned a damn thing. I'm still the same. I'm actually dissapointed. Nooooo.....that's isn't true....
14:11 Tsquared xD
14:11 OldMaster3 If anything, I've learned that having a little patience, and a lot of humor can get you through pretty much anything that can be thrown at you on a discussion forum. And believe me, we can have some pretty trying times on there.
14:12 HisMrs Yep... those of us who've been around especially in the last couple years have seen that.
14:12 OldMaster3 Maybe that's why they hired me. I'm just a big overgrown kid with silly humor. I be the official Class Clown of the Staff.
14:13 Tsquared mmhmm
14:13 Tsquared lol!
14:13 HisMrs That is VERY true! So given your warped sense of humor, I am interested to hear the answer to this one: How did you become a mod?- chatwuann
14:13 OldMaster3 Mmmhmmmm? You wouldn't happen to be related to former member Eponinethen, would ya? She "mmmhmmmed" me all the damn time!
14:16 Tsquared LOL
14:16 Tsquared possibly, but only by marriage!
14:16 Tsquared xD
14:16 OldMaster3 How did I become a Mod? That I really couldn't tell ya. I was pretty much a very evil person (in the humor-sense) back in my early days on the BB. People seemed to like me. I guess maybe that was a factor when then co-Admin Faith made me "The Offer".
***cue dramatic music***
14:18 OldMaster3 She said I was good with the members, and easygoing. Far be it for me to question the Senior Partners. You can't know what an honor it is to be asked to be a part of the legendary BB Staff team. So, although a bit bemused, I accepted.
14:18 HisMrs So she made you an offer you couldn't refuse, huh?
14:19 Tsquared Was there any soul-selling involved?!?!?!
😱
14:19 Tsquared lol
14:19 OldMaster3 Yes. Much like the Wolfram and Hart.....once you're in, your soul belongs to the Senior Partners. It isn't so bad in here, though. Very Feng Shui.
14:21 HisMrs LOL Awesome. Once again, chatwuann asks you Have you enjoyed the experience of being a mod?
14:21 OldMaster3 I'm beginning to think only chatwuann sent you questions. I'm starting to get a very severe complex right now.....
14:22 OldMaster
😛
14:22 Tsquared lol nice.
14:24 HisMrs LOL Not only, but chatwuann sent a bunch.
🙂
14:28 OldMaster3 Lol.....alrighty then. To answer....Honestly, there have been some trying times. It's not always cookies and cream in the Staff sanctum (I don't even know what the hell that means. Cookies and cream?!! What the hell is that??) But thankfully those times aren't very frequent, and for the most part my Modhood has been a blast. Like I said before.......
14:29 OldMaster3 ......I always have had the great pleasure of working with a fine crew of folks, whomever they happen to be at the time.
14:29 HisMrs Aww, nice! Now, let's switch it up a bit and get the questions off the modly duties: Do you have a favorite treat? If you do what is it?- chatwuann
14:31 *** T2 joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
14:31 OldMaster3 Favorite treat? As in food?
14:31 T2 (sorry guys, laptop just crashed and i have no idea why im still in here! lol. am going to login in my PC)
14:31 *** Tsquared quit (Quit:

14:32 *** Tsquared joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
14:32 *** T2 left [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
14:32 HisMrs Yeah, I am guessing...
14:32 OldMaster3 I would say my favorite treat is my wife....but that's a little too risque for a family board, so I won't.
😛 Ohhhh oops...too late......
😀
14:33 HisMrs LOL!!
14:33 OldMaster3 But noooooo....seriously.....
14:33 Tsquared LMAO
14:34 OldMaster3 That gal has a hell of a body, I gotta say. Holy hottie...Batman!
14:34 OldMaster3 Okay..okay...I'll be serious..
14:34 HisMrs LOL!! Hey, you're married, you're allowed.
14:35 OldMaster3 Damn right. OM is married. 13 years now. STILL can't believe it. Giggity.
14:36 OldMaster3 But anyhoo....as far as treats, I'm a bit boring. Ice cream is the game here. Or frozen confections of any kind. Preferably chocolate. Chocolatey goodness is where it's at. Y to the U to the M.
14:37 HisMrs I love ice cream! It's the one junk food treat I can't turn down. Ok, here's your final question from chatwuann: What is your favorite drink? If any?
14:41 OldMaster3 Back in the days of yore, OM's poison was beer. Didnt matter the brand, I consumed it. But I haven't had any of the foamy since I was 24, so now the beverage of choice is good old fashioned OJ (the drink...not the criminal, obviously. And how would you drink a person anyway? ***shudders***)
14:41 HisMrs LOL You ain't right, babe. But that's why we love you around here!!
14:42 HisMrs Nix asks you: "I know it was many moons ago but, do you remember your reaction when you were asked to be a mod?"
14:42 OldMaster3 No, I ain't right. And now I mod. Fear me.
14:43 Tsquared xD
14:43 OldMaster3 Again with the Mod questions?? That's it! I'm going to my trailer! ***storms off...only to find he has no trailer***
14:44 HisMrs LMAO
14:44 HisMrs I'll warn you; you have a few.
😉
14:44 OldMaster3
😛
14:46 OldMaster3 But noooo....seriously.......I can't really say I was shocked when "The Offer" PM came into my humble inbox. My reaction was more like "ahhhhh, it's a joke! This is a joke, right? Okay...April Fools, very funny".
14:46 OldMaster3 But they were quite serious. That's when the girly squeeing began. (you're not gonna print that, right?)
14:46 HisMrs LOL Ok, so then Nix asked you How many hours a week do you spend on BB?
14:47 Tsquared (what if it was a joke? lol )
14:48 OldMaster3 Like most of the membership...way too many hours. It's shameful. And yet, decadent. That's the power of the BB. A slpendid little addiction without the rehab.
14:49 HisMrs LOL Exactly!
14:49 Tsquared mmhmm lol
14:50 OldMaster3 If it had been a joke, TSquared, well...as god as my witness, I would have rained very severe....destructive.....complaints. I would have gone to her house, wagged my finger and complained. Probably would have scared the shyte out of her and got my ass arrested......
14:50 OldMaster3 Noooooo...I kid...I kid
14:50 Tsquared is scared
14:50 Tsquared lol
14:51 OldMaster3 ***World Premiere debut of Tsquared's new CD "I'm Scared"....available for download on iTunes.....****
14:51 HisMrs LOL!! Dang....
14:52 HisMrs So then Nix wanted to know "Has moderating changed over the years or do you still do the same job as when you first started?"
14:52 Tsquared LMAO
14:52 Tsquared First single "Tscared" lol!
14:56 OldMaster3 Basically, modding hasn't changed very much. It's the boards that change. That's always a constant. Members come and go, new forums get tacked into place, new activities form, but the act of modding is pretty much the same. I say that from
my own perspective, of course. Can't speak for anyone else.
14:57 HisMrs I'm sure the way you mod actually depends on the members, right?
15:00 OldMaster3 Certainly, for drastic situations one has to go outside the modding box, but on an average day to day basis, it's not very different. (did my joking just stop??? Holy buzzkill, Batman! What's going on with me????)
15:00 Tsquared throws holy water on OM3
15:00 Tsquared Better?!
15:01 OldMaster3 ***The power of Mod compels you! The power of Mod compels you!!***
15:01 Tsquared LMAO
15:01 HisMrs LOL!!!
15:01 OldMaster3 Wow...that really did the trick.
😛
15:01 Tsquared Anytime.
15:02 HisMrs Ok... From Taake- Intergalactic war is raging, the world is threatened, you alone stand capable to do something along side 3 super heroes - which Super Heroes would you want by your side (and does Buffy make the list)?
15:03 Tsquared (oh, good question! )
15:04 OldMaster3 She is forcing me to reveal my concealed geekdom. She will pay for this.
15:05 HisMrs LOL Taake definitely asked some random ones.
😉
15:05 *** chatwuann joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
15:05 Tsquared LOL
15:05 Tsquared Hey!
15:06 HisMrs Hey there!
15:06 chatwuann Now the party can begin
15:06 OldMaster3 Welcome to my mind, chatwuann Learner.
15:06 chatwuann It's pretty good in here for a mind that is.
15:06 Tsquared mmhmm
15:06 Tsquared very organized.
15:07 OldMaster3 Okay, Tsquared, fess up. You're Eponinethen, aren't you??!!
15:07 Tsquared LOL i honestly don't know who that is!
15:08 OldMaster3 You're the only other member in BB history that "Mhhhmmms". It's you! You can't fool me!!
15:08 OldMaster3
😛
15:08 Tsquared LMAO, maybe i should "rawrrrr" from now on? xD
15:08 OldMaster3 Noooo...but seriously.....back to the question before HisMrs. Jimmy Choos my ass.
15:09 chatwuann yes back to the question
15:11 HisMrs (Yeah, 'cause I do have somewhere to be in the next little bit... I want to finish before I have to go! LOL)
15:12 chatwuann Your kids will probably interrupt you.
15:12 OldMaster3 Taake will pay dearly. Oh yes. If comic book heroes is the order of the day, and three must stand by my side to do glorious combat with the forces of evil...I'm afraid I can't choose Buffy. She's mortal and would die. She dies a lot, that girl.
15:13 chatwuann Aye she does
15:14 HisMrs Very true!
15:14 chatwuann which negates the saying you live once
15:15 *** Taake joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
15:15 OldMaster3 However. if I had to choose three MORTALS to do battle with......
15:15 Tsquared Welcome!
15:16 chatwuann Hi
15:16 Taake Don't make a fuss (what q are we on?)
🙂
15:16 OldMaster3 Superhero questions, Taake?? How dare you force me to reveal my hidden geekdom.
15:17 Taake mwahaha
15:17 OldMaster3 But anyhoo...to finish the answer.....
15:17 OldMaster3 if I had to pick three mortals....one of them WOULD be Buffy.....and the other two would be the Winchester brothers.
15:17 HisMrs Cool beans
15:17 HisMrs Taake also asked you: What is your favorite Sunday afternoon activity?
15:18 OldMaster3 Sexy time with my wife. And this time I'm NOT joking.
😉
15:18 OldMaster3
15:19 OldMaster3 **Buffy will have a heart attack if she reads this***
15:19 Tsquared hides
15:19 Tsquared lol
15:19 chatwuann She might
15:19 Taake lol
15:19 HisMrs LOL!
15:20 OldMaster3 Giggity.
15:20 HisMrs And, moving on.... Taake also asked "You're transported back to your High School classroom with all the memories of what's to come - what advise would you give younger you?"
15:21 OldMaster3 Ohhhh, I made quite a mess of my teenage life. I'd grab myself by the collar and say "Listen, ya little jackwagon....!!!" I'd have quite a lot of things to advise teen OM on. Too many to list here.
15:22 *** Flannen joined [HASHTAG]#buffyboards[/HASHTAG]
15:22 +++ Buffybot has given halfop to Flannen
15:22 HisMrs LOL Ok, so.... Super Hero or Evil Genius - what would you want your business card to say?- Taake
15:23 OldMaster3 Ahhh, the big Flan-bowski.
15:23 Tsquared Hey Flan!
15:23 HisMrs (And hey to Taake and Flannen since I didn't say it already)
15:23 Flannen Sorry, I'm late! I kinda just woke up from sleeping all afternoon! But I am here now!
15:23 chatwuann Good day to you flannen
15:23 Flannen Hey everyone!
15:25 OldMaster3 Evil genius?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....me????? I'm afraid I'm not clever enough for that vocation. I guess I COULD be evil.....just a really stoopid villain. No....I'd go with Hero. I'm much better at getting cats out of trees and helping the elderly across the street than hatching plans of global domination.
15:25 Taake well I'll rest more easily in your presence now
15:26 Tsquared LOL
15:26 HisMrs Well maybe your business card should say "Cat Rescuer Extraordinaire!" What's the best concert you've ever been to?- Taake
15:26 Tsquared (or maybe that is what OM3 wants us to think! lol)
15:27 chatwuann one never knows when chatting online
15:27 Taake (your right Ts, I shouldn't rest easy AT ALL)
15:29 Flannen You shouldn't. Me and OM having been hatching a plan for weeks now.
15:29 OldMaster3 Now I reveal my utter sadness. As much as I love music (and I have pretty eclectic tastes when it comes to that), I have never in my life been to a concert. It is my hidden shame.
15:29 Flannen15:29 Flannen I am flying to NY and we are going to a concert!
😱
15:30 chatwuann make him go against his will if you have to flannen.
15:30 HisMrs WHAT?! Wow.... You gotta get on the ball and go to SOMETHING. Hell, even a Kenny G concert would count. LOL
15:30 Flannen It'll be easy, he can't say no to me.
15:31 OldMaster3 ***Flan In The City - The Complete First Season***
15:31 HisMrs Taake asks: "Clouds roll over the sky, thunder booms, every one waits with baited breath for your answer and what do you say - cats... or dogs?"
15:31 Flannen knows this one!
15:32 Tsquared holds his breath!
15:33 chatwuann Oh the suspense is killing me
15:33 OldMaster3 Cats. Clean animals Go to the loo by themselves. Vomit in your shoe...but that can be overlooked.
15:34 HisMrs LOL!! You've been a member here at BB for a while now, how much has your life changed since that first day you registered?- TSsquared
15:34 Tsquared (Cats vomit in your shoe?! )
15:34 Taake (they do)
15:35 Flannen Mine pooed in my barbie house once and then used the furniture to cover it. Happened to OM, too! hehehehe
15:35 chatwuann Did you keep it flannen
15:35 Tsquared (why isn't there a puking smiley? )
15:35 Tsquared LMAO
15:36 Flannen I cleaned it up but my pink couch was RUINED!
15:37 chatwuann Oh poor pink couch
15:37 OldMaster3 My life is still the same sack of (expletive deleted) that it always was. BB is a hell of a place, but it's not going to have a real life impact on anyone. However, as far as impact on online existence, BB does give one hope that the internet is not the evil creeper empire it's always made out to be. BB members have shown that it IS possible to forge strong friendships....and even a sense of family. My perception of the internet is somewhat changed from the once cynical view it was.
15:39 chatwuann Good for you
15:39 Tsquared (good to know )
15:40 HisMrs Awww... How sweet. Except for the "same sack of (expletive deleted)" part. LOL Favorite album of all time?- TSquared
15:40 chatwuann I need to grab a tissue
15:41 Tsquared hands chatwuann his on hand
15:41 chatwuann Why thank you
15:41 Tsquared I mean, I had a box near me. Yeah, um. Hmm.
15:41 Flannen LOL
15:41 chatwuann lmho
15:42 OldMaster3 Favorite all time album. Hmmmmm......."Love At First Sting" by the Scorpions.
15:42 Flannen Dude, that totally tickled me. I can't stop laughing!
15:42 chatwuann neither can I
15:42 HisMrs LOL The Scorpions.... We're playing the game anywhere but here, where would you be?- TSquared
15:42 Taake lol Scorpions... chuckles
15:42 Tsquared (Hehe >.>)
15:43 OldMaster3 Hey, The Scorpions rock. Rock I say! Next question.
15:44 HisMrs We're playing the game anywhere but here, where would you be?- TSquared
15:44 OldMaster3 Japan. That's where I'd be. I love Japan. Those folks are nuts. The perfect place for me.
15:44 HisMrs Oooh, good answer. Japan is a cool place.
15:44 Tsquared mmhmm!
15:44 HisMrs What is one thing you miss about being a kid?- TSquared
15:45 OldMaster3 Ignorance.
15:45 chatwuann Ignorance is bliss after all
15:45 HisMrs Oooh, I hear ya on that! Definitely...
15:45 HisMrs What is your favorite thing about NYC?- HisMrs
15:47 OldMaster3 NYC is a (expletive deleted). But it's my home so I have no choice. I guess it's the fact that you can get pretty much anything here. Although it will cost you both arms and both legs..
15:48 HisMrs LOL!! True dat... Stuff is pretty freakin' expensive there!
15:48 HisMrs What is your favorite forum on BB?- HisMrs
15:50 OldMaster3 Although it's pretty much a dead forum.....I've always been partial to the Watcher's Diaries. I love to read everyone's fics. Lots of talent there. And I dabble lightly in fic-writing myself.
15:51 chatwuann ever been published/
15:51 OldMaster3 Ya see...now I can't be a clown out of respect for the fact you have to leave soon, HisMrs.
😛
15:51 HisMrs Awww, yeah. I definitely have come to appreciate fic a lot more since joining BB.
15:51 Tsquared mmhmm
15:51 Tsquared some of them are great!
15:52 HisMrs I'm sorry! I wish I hadn't planned something so early this afternoon, but I really have to get going.
15:52 HisMrs Thank you so very much, OM3! Sorry for rushing through this last part!
15:52 HisMrs hugs everyone and dashes out!
