It's still being processed. You'll hear back from a RealGM Representative in approximately 6-8 weeks.

And remember, if you don't hear back in that span of time, just keep waiting.


I'll be waiting.

You can expedite the process. Turn that 6-8 weeks into 2-3.

Just snitch on someone. Anyone. it really is that easy.

PM miller for more info.

For anyone who is new-ish and don't know the story, long-time board members JWiz, donkey, and doc once *FALSELY* accused Miller of getting his mod-ship by essentially snitching on members of this board one evening when the three of them (plus Tom, a.k.a. Swami) decided to go all nuts.

Fast forward a few years and it's part of the fabric of the board that, whenever someone is named to be a new mod, we celebrate Miller's "snitching win".

Seriously, though. Miller didn't snitch. :CrossingMyFingersBehindMyBackEmoji:

Per usual, I am honored to overshadow the accomplishments and congratulations of others.

It's why I became a mod.

Snitching regarding what?

What possibly could be going on in these forums that's snitch worthy? :lol:

Oh God, yes.

:nod:

Ok, I guess shredded and then burned could be construed as rejected.

Wow, it's nice in the Mod lounge. Everyone's got their member suits on, smoking fine cigars, drinking the best whiskey, served by... well, they said I can't talk about all that.

In other words, it's probably safe to say that Melo won't be appearing in any of his upcoming music videos.

Hang in there AFM. I might post again before they get back to you...

Signing Paul Pierce was like the perfect interim option here. We get a guy for two years that is huge to the development of our young guns, who can help us get far into the postseason both this year and next year. Meanwhile, KD is home watching the Wiz do work in the postseason thinking "Damn, they look good, and I'd always get my touches with Wall dishing the rock" Then by the time free agency 2016 rolls by Pierce has done his work and is gone, only to be replaced by the great KD himself.

As long as we keep improving and making serious noise I don't see how Durant can't give signing with us serious consideration. It also helps that the Thunder just hired a rookie head coach out of college that could completely backfire for them and the fact that I've never considered Westbrook and KD to be really cohesive with one another

LOL - if Miller had actually snitched to admins about members of his own board - this Wizards board - well, that would be a thing. But Miller would never to that to fine, upstanding citizens like JWiz, doc, Donkey, and swami. He'd NEVER to anything like that to him.

I'd turn JWiz in in a heartbeat. All day, every day. And twice on Sunday's.

Miller clearly snitched on WizD. It's draft season and he's nowhere to be found

Caps win Game 1, Nats look to be figuring things out blowing out the Mets, and the Skins finally show a commitment to rebuilding the O-Line.

Good night. :)

Might finally be time to hang up the jackets and sweatshirts for the next ~4 months.

Just move out of the area.
You will be happier in the long run.

4 months passes by really fast and before you know it the cold weather will return and you will be miserable again for 6-7 months.

I'm not a huge hockey fan but I have to say playoff hockey is damn intense. Big win by the Caps last night. I'll be going to Game 4 tomorrow(my girl is a huuuge Caps fan).

All these playoff games are putting a dent in my wallet, but I ain't complaining.

Upload some of your girl's Capital's ticket stubs from 20-30 years ago on here so we all can see just how huge a Capitals fan she really is.
