It became too easy to become a MOD, for me when I think about "back in the day" I think "old triedia" and the old "Meso"..it was mostly about trust and mods amongst themselves hooked each other up with stuff..whether it was with gear, ancillaries or something one needed like emergency quick..there was also this rapport with the board owner. In essence the mods were the back bone of the board and they knew all the angles..they knew who and appreciated real "active" members, Vets where right up there with the mods too...throwing around free gear to win that trust quickly and/or to have special priviledges became all to frequent. I remember we could ask for anything we needed (amongst ourselves) and more than a few would quickly spring to offer support. Big egos, greed, loose talking ruined it all. We don't need more chiefs, we need more "active" indians.


Well said Sean-very true.
