The Endless Story II

The Moderators were secretly building another forum, and had used the bugs as an excuse to shut the old one down.

This strategy, which had been developed by a tyrannical power-hungry global moderator, was totally successful.

With the first stage of his Master Plan now finished, the as-yet-unnamed moderator waited for an opportune moment to seize complete power for himself.

James Gryphon · February 06, 2016, 12:08:00 AM

As a step towards this, he "appointed" himself administrator on the new forum.

This mod's name was Heatlo Dellhounsh.

James Gryphon · February 06, 2016, 12:52:39 AM

His forum screen-name, however, rhymed with "Names Dryphon".

He could often be heard cackling evilly to his magic mirror.

James Gryphon · February 06, 2016, 01:07:49 AM

One day, he asked it, "Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the greatest Staff member of them all?"

LT Sandpaw · February 06, 2016, 01:12:45 AM

It decided not to comment due to the fact that it couldn't lie, and the moderator was holding a hammer.

So Heatlo said "I must not have plugged these speakers into the mirror right," and adjusted them. Then he repeated the question.

LT Sandpaw · February 06, 2016, 01:20:31 AM

The mirror then let out a grunting unintelligible whine of an answer that sounded suspiciously like Shadyrain.

James Gryphon · February 06, 2016, 01:24:18 AM

Heatlo, still not suspecting anything, said, "Maybe the mirror isn't getting enough power." So he unplugged it and plugged it back in. Then he asked, "Mirror, mirror, burning bright, who's the best admin on this site?"

LT Sandpaw · February 06, 2016, 01:27:12 AM

The mirror, finally able to give a straight answer seeing as the questioner was a moderator answered, "Matti1080P."

James Gryphon · February 06, 2016, 01:33:35 AM

Unfortunately, Heatlo was the one hosting the new forum, so he was still very ticked off, and screamed, "WHAT? I'M THE ONE HOSTING THE NEW FORUM!1! YOU UNGRATEFUL MIRROR!1!" In a fit of childish rage, he smashed the mirror, and then took a second mirror out of its box (which had a "Buy 1 and get 2 free" sticker on the front), hooked it up, and asked it the same question.

Jukka the Sling · February 06, 2016, 01:39:43 AM

"The forum is a moderator unto itself," the mirror replied nonsensically (it was broken).
