Haha, I'm flattered you think so, but leave that to the man and power and then the rest of the community, I wouldn't so no, as I'd be happy to moderate, but with some of my uh 'previous immaturities' I'm sure there are better candidates.

Artistic? For the tate maybe, I just call it a pass time activity.

To be honest, some modern art makes me want to urinate on it...most in particular that urinal...After I visited the tate, I began to question what art really is...perhaps that's what the point of it is, that's what makes it art...hmm I don't think so.

I'm going to do what my friend suggested and sit down on the seat there for hours, if people ask, I just say "I'm modern art on display at the tate".

Why don't we show a little respect for indi, afterall it's his thread. Rather than using it as a discussion on how to replace him.

What size is he, I'm a size 7/8 UK (Sometimes I'm a size 6, some shoemakers are weird with their size)

People who would fit his shoes is someone who is online enough, is mature enough and can handle comments without insulting people and can deal with situations where people are stressed and doesn't snap at other people or offer snide/sarcastic remarks and doesn't try to wind people up, thus being fairly reasonable...

I'd probably say, nobody fulfills all of those, but I'm sure people do come close, like Fallout, soapyfish, Benjamin (Although I'm sure his sense of humour may be too much for some people, although I love it)

But leave all this up to TGC, instead of running around 'nominating people' ,you'd be complementing people for nothing . I mean they may have someone planned or have decided one less moderator won't hurt.

Fine art is art, because of it's inherint beauty in capturing something. Classic modern art is a form of expressionism taking something that is classic and applying your own feelings to the subject creating a very stylised peice.

Modern Modern Art (the bullcrap they put in the Tate Modern) is quite frankly art because some guy is that good at blagging or is so dilluded he really believes that drawing a 700 layer dot equates to the human soul because every layer is black. i.e. too complex to see the entire surface of someone. Which makes sense, but when you have to explain that's what somethig is about to sell for a nice 5-6figure pricetag to someone who just wants it for the label, like their custom pair of nike trainers or armarni suits.

That's what makes modern art, art. The fact someone is willing to pay for the excuse of what it's suppose to be.. the more ellaborate the excuse and peice... the more you'll get. Should really be called BlagArt rather than modern art.

Ah yes, of course, I missed that comment, it's too easy to go off topic when someone mentions something else.

Sorry, well, he will be missed as a moderator, I mean, his name has cropped up all over the place for his good moderating, although he has made his mistakes, but he's done his best to correct them as I've seen, despite any of the tensions between him and other members. It will be hard to replace him, I think my description of 'who to replace him with' is a description of the majority of Indi's moderating life whilst I've been around. But, after all those years of moderating, I guess you want to feel normal again, as oppose to a voluntary authority. I'm sure some peoples comments get a bit down pulling, especially when there praise is more rare than criticism. But as you can see, as soon as you stop, all of that recognition comes out and I hope you feel you've done a good job and that you enjoy 'retiring' from being a moderator of TGC and best of luck to the guy replacing you, he'll need it as you can't be replaced.

I see, the actual meaning behind modern art that counts, the meaning isn't put into the actual art itself as other styles do...this requires background info - and the art is represental of what they're saying...sort of philosophical I guess (Suprised I didn't see that one, I'm usually good for sussing out hidden meanings)

Really? I thought he signed up here either a week or two before or after me. Which was sometime in 2000 I believe. I remember because he absolutely crucified my post count in about a month (and I was about 5th on the leader board at one point about a year in). Pretty sure he wasn't a mod until quite a while after that. Nobody remember what he used to do in the beginning BTW? Basically designed free logos for people. Very very good too

What about jsg? He fits all those criterea.(joke)

Indi, you are a great mod, without your guide, well... this forum would go up in flames, and I find it difficult seeing you as just a normal user.

Anyway, ill keep saying this, take a brak and think about it.

I'm sorry indi, i wasn't here for much of your reign as a mod, but
zenassem is right, its your thread and not a lot of folks have really said much about you. So i will again.

Once more, having not had the privlege of knowing as a mod or user for long, it will be an honor to see you back on the fourms. I don't really recall any quarrel between you and i so i've never witnessed the arguments that others are speaking of. From what i've seen, you've been a tough but good mod and it will be a shame to see you have to step down from your post. On the other hand, having over eight years of modship is a great track record and like you said I'm sure you want to finish your projects. Having said that, i'm looking forward to what you bring to the table. Good luck with rejoining usership and we'll miss you as a mod.

Doesn't that surely mean that I should take his place

Well that aside, no idea how he could've been here for 8years+ given TGC (DBS) have been online since late 1999.
Been wondering for a while about who here is the oldest member out of those still remaining.

Except for the TGC staff themselves, I found the site late-August 1999. It was only a few weeks after the website went live iirc, then we didn't have a forum until what mid-November? That's when things started to get busy as PC Gamer ran something on DIV Game Studio, and Blender v2. Then they built-up buzz about DarkBASIC, that was quite awesome when someone gives the tag line "3D Amos for Windows!"

I'll leave it at that, or for indi to expand on if he wants. BTW, I didn't mean just MOD status, there were other things behind the scenes... and I think my 8 years is fairly accurate IIRC.

Hey Indi,

I've known you and your work about as long as I have been involved with the online communities, which is late '99 early 2000, and as has been stated, you are one of the most honest guys I have met. Remember telling me that my 2D artwork was fake? Hehe I was more honoured than offended that you thought it too good to be my work!

You have a high standard, and try to keep it. Kudos.

Good work countryman! So when's the Aussie DB conference eh?

Yeah, about the same time as me. Although I didn't come back and sign up on the forums until about a year later I believe. Basically couldn't think of anything interesting to ask. Until I did, signed up, asked, and Dr Av gave me 99% working code for a rolling ball. I say 99% because it didn't quite work and I had to fix it myself. I think it was his way of handing over decent code without just letting a total n00b totally rip it off without at least putting some effort in. Either that or he cocked up...

I thought that ColourArts game was DarkWorld or Darksphere or something. The first project I remember is a little one called "The twin Towers" Or "Two Towers". The later iteration was "Axes of Evil". Yarbles was a master. I always looked up to that guy.

Also, Xenith's Yore was a big up-and-coming game.

Those were the days. Grey forums rocked.

All I can say is, I will always think of indi as a MOD. Whether he's a user or not to me he's a MOD for life. Your one of the MODS that actually does the job without taking sides or getting involved (Well that's what I've seen) and your also one of only Aussie MODS! It's a sad day for all of the TGC community. But thanks for all your hard work moderating, you did, in my eyes at least, a great job.

indi I salute you!
