Legend has it that once you become a moderator for the Rockets board they take you to some strange island far far away. That is why posters who become mods are rarely heard from again.

You know, I was just thinking about this yesterday. I figured if y'all were going to bring on a new mod the candidates would be:

Mr. E
Guy986
Optimism Prime
moofs

I guess I was pretty spot on.

Oh yeah, congrats Prime. Now that I have an e-friend in the admin, I can get away with trolling on the Jazz/Mavs forum.

Thanks, everyone. We have, in my eyes, the best board and group of posters on the forum, and I'll do my best to help keep it that way.

HOWEVER, one thing must be made clear. Guy, I'm looking at you.

OPTIMUS PRIME is this guy:

OPTIMIST PRIME doesn't exist.

OPTIMISM PRIME is me.

If you can't keep it straight, just call me Prime. ;)
Hello ladies. Look at your posts. Now back to mine. Now back at your posts now back to MINE. Sadly, they aren't mine. But if your posts started using Optimism™, they could sound like mine. This post is now diamonds.

I'm on a horse.

That's so not true, I saw TMU post barely 6 months ago, Roosk couldn't stop talking about Yao as a draft pick, and I saw Wizzle at an OTC convention during the Carter administration.

Chuck Norris once had sex with a prostitute in the back of a semi truck. A drop of his semen got onto the seat and became infused with the truck. Th truck is now known as Optimus Prime

Please...Chuck Hayes' defense would shut down Chuck Norris's offense. I know this. You know this. Chuck Norris knows this.

Congrats, Prime! Good choice by management.

So do we, (A collective we, meaning people that post on this board!) now plan to take over the Rockets organisation in a massive coup? Today, RealGM, Tomorrow, the world, (The world being the Houston Rockets.)
