2006-08-14: Old asayyeah appointed Moderator status

[infoxicated]

Arnaud / Old asayyeah's legendary status at the top of the time tables, and his enthusiastic travels to meet other pilots, should give an indication of his standing within the community here on WipeoutZone.

Due to the above, I asked Old asayyeah if he'd be up for helping with the moderating duties - a position of authority he's accepted.

I'd like to thank Arnaud for accepting the position, and wish him luck in our efforts to fend off the pesky spammers that have taken to posting on the site.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Congrats Arnaud, all the best mate! :hyper

[Sausehuhn]

Rob, you really made nothing wrong with giving him the moderator status, I'm sure! :)

So: Congrats, Arnaud! Take it as an early birthday present ;)

[Task]

Great to have you even more with us Arnaud! (I didn't think that was possible, but it just goes to show what I know!)

Welcome to the task of spam destroying! 8 )

[Asayyeah]

I really appreciate this and hope to do a good job with 'Quaking or plasma-izing ' those pesky spammers..definitely :pirate

Congradulations man!!! It's an honor to have such a great person have such an important task, as such a great friend here on the zone. You obviously deserve it!!!

[Tomahawk]

Congratulations Arnaud! :clap My best wishes for you and your new task on this messageboard.

[Rapier Racer]

An avatar for Arnaud thats easy, a section of empty track with dust in the air ....Eat my vapour trail :dizzy

[infoxicated]

In other news, Old Asayyeah has reverted to his original username of Young Asayyeah.

Actually, it's just Asayyeah now. ;)

Still no idea what it means, but at least it's simpler now. :D

[Asayyeah]

Ok i can reveal it to you where my nick came from...

It was years ago while i was working in South America ( French Guyana ).
As usual, Job mates & me after work relaxing ourselves by a nice drink ( Rum, sugar and green lemon) contemplating the ocean in saying : ' Life isn't beautiful ? ' and most of us answered :' Yeah ... i say yeah ... life is so cool '

I took the ' I say yeah ' and transformed it by 'Asayyeah' ( phonetically close in french from the english 'i say yeah' ) and from that time i used it like my own anthem for life ;)

:cowboy

[q_dmc12]

I figured as much.....phonetically ;)

[Zerow]

I couldn't quite figure out what Asayyeah was all about before.

Well, now I know. ;)

[Lance]

A belated congratulations to you, Arnaud. I've just returned from Texas where I paid virtually no attention to the internet, and see you were made mod yesterday [in my wake-sleep cycle]. It will be good to have someone additional in an earlier time zone to get the spammers even earlier.

''I say yeah''
Well, that's what I always thought it meant, but I did not know exactly how it came about. But in any case, it is so typical of Arnaud's wonderful positive attitude about life. It fits him so well.

[Asayyeah]

:paperbag

[xEik]

Congrats from me as well! :D

Lately being late, but better late than never. :)

[eLhabib]

wow, now there's me, having the 1st day in weeks NOT checking the 'zone, and then I miss a big news like this! congrats Arnaud, you're definitely the man for the job!

oh and now we know for sure that you don't need proper english to be a mod :D

(I can feel the banquake coming ;))

[Lance]

^Lance puts the Stainless Steel Glove on the Titanium Fist and limbers up, then glares in Martin's direction, but just winks after all.^

[Asayyeah]

héhé :)
For sure Martin this is a great opportunity here to improve my english ( positive way of answering ;) ...but there's a 2nd way : we will see if your perfect english may save your bloody cheeky B. arse in Kai next time you join :hyper

[JABBERJAW]

great choice! I thought it was asay yeah I kicked your #@$# to rub it in:)

[Smoothly Does It]

Rock on Arnaud, but does this mean i'm not allowed to slag you off when i beat your times now? :D

[Asayyeah]

Ahhh my great twins Al & Ali what shall i become without you
:D

[Mad-Ice]

Congratulations Arnaud!

This is superb. I am a bit late to say so, but as you know i was in Kenya, and most of the time in places with no electricity. Psp was there of course and i had some real nice new and crispy records. I will let you know later on.

So anyway good luck with the new job.

[Del Stepho]

I'm comming in this forum to tell you congrats for the suprem post :D , Arnaud. Make reign the terror !! ;)
I'll try to come here more often :)

[Asayyeah]

thanks Matthijs & Stephane

the job is pretty easy i must say ( thx to the new registration process ;) )
But when the new record tables will be released , all moderators will have a ton of work with the 'mistakes times' or voluntary fake times.

[JABBERJAW]

arnaud, you are going to have to erase all your times and ban yourself:)

[Lance]

-- grin --

[Asayyeah]

Anything is possible, who knows...

[JABBERJAW]

IF you banned yourself, would the system allow you to ban others after? This is the question everyone is dying to know. Anyway, arnaud should ban himself from entering times due to his ITGFTGD (I'm too good for this game disorder), or at least take ridilin or something to "relax" his skills. In addition, anyone who beats arnauds times should immediately be banned for "voluntary fake times".

[infoxicated]

We used to feel the same way about you, Al, before Arnaud showed up on the scene! ;)

[JABBERJAW]

Maybe you can feel that way again when the kids get a little older, or I win powerball. The odds of you feeling that way again however, I should note, are about the same odds of me winning powerball.

[Asayyeah]

(...) before Arnaud showed up on the scene! ;)
and till someone else comes and wipe my arse ( i bet on a young japanese boy:D )
konishiwa san JJ

[Lion]

a belated congratulations on the moderator status arnaud :)
