max2343 Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Why be a Mod. I Mean I come here Sometimes just to Waste Time. Why would you Want to be a Mod? Isn't it like this All the Time --------------> What's the Deal? Why do you Do it. Is it a Power Trip or your are you Just Doing it out of the Kindness of your Heart? Do they Give you Anything besides the Powers to possibly be a Axe-man by the Ban/Banish-Botton. Do you get a Guitar. Even a Factory 2nd. A stool. A T-Shirt. A Guitar Pick? Anything at All? If not, Why would you Take the Position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I Still wanta know "Why do you do it" I'm Really Why--- Does that Title Get-cha-Chicks--What is it. Hrm.... no chicks' date=' plus I'm already hitched... Plus I hardly think a hot dame would find appeal in someone being an Epi or Gibson Mod......... but who knows, there's all kinds of strange fetishes out there. Personally, I don't need any picks, we have enough Hello Kitty picks in the washer, dryer, on my amp, the floor and in just about every corner of the house[biggrin'] As for the why??? Good question!!! Maybe that's a better question for the Admins. But if I had to guess, it 's because we just can't depend on everyone to act like big boys and girls all the time...... because after all, we are only human.

ksdaddy Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 I became a mod because I was asked by Shadow. I get nothing. I have no connection with Gibson other than owning several of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 Because they like it here. Because they want to do something to help make it a better place. Because they have some available time, the necessary skills and were asked if they would. Because they don't want to see Gibson ditch the completely optional forum altogether, and they think Gibson might if things become anarchistic. /shrug It's not that deep a question... why does anyone do volunteer work of any kind? The answers can be fathomless. Is that what you're looking for DogMan? Or was it specifics for THE Gibson mod Squad? If the latter, then please forgive my intrusion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Motivation was True and they Have been Kool and Fair Damn--Toss-em a Bone---Gibson Honestly what would be better is Gibson to raffle off two Gibson guitars for it's forum members that have a 6 month tenure or longer......... That's where the appreciation should be directed IMO...... at the contributing members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted November 7, 2009 Report Share Posted November 7, 2009 In my Book you never Get Something for Nothing and if you do--You got Something Coming Very interesting, Dog-man-thing! I gotta admire that trait, sir, as I have almost none of that in me and am likely less wealthy for it! On the other side of that coin, though, I belong to an organization that is nearly 100% run by volunteers. Outside of some weekends of fun every year, and some pretend awards of titles or lands, no one gets a thing. In fact, it ends up costing most a sizeable portion of their income. For some, it requires a commitment of one year... pretty much every weekend. Free, as in you don't get paid, not so free in that it costs to travel and attend the functions... every single weekend for a year. Amazing, I know, and yet they line up for the chance. So I guess, it's really a perspective thing as to whether or not there needs to be compensation, or are they compensated enough already. I'm guessing...
