1) The Hype/LeSoft War - Where do you stand? How would you rank each one? And how would you fix this problem?
I have talked to several SHH moderators about the Hype/LeSoft War and I think it was an overreaction by SHH moderators. One moderator even essentially said to me, if the ridicule wasn't done at the moderator's expense, they probably wouldn't have gotten involved. Which kinda shows the silliness of the whole thing.
While I am a moderator at LeSoft, I still post on SHH. I do not think of LeSoft as a rival for SHH only an alternative, a place where it's not PG-13 but not X-Rated as some SHH moderators would have you believe. LeSoft isn't a clubhouse for only certain elitest. Anyone can join, and we encourage others to join.
There's no way to fix the problem. You are always going to have someone do something that's going to continue the friction, however I think a lot of it stems from the fact that some not all of the SHH moderators are not respected which has led to the creation of so many other message boards. But perhaps a better system instead of picking "friends" as new moderators and more qualified ones would help alleviate it.
2) Why did you choose your running mate and what does he/she bring to the table?
Well, Matthew, you chose Brutal for me. I just mentioned that Brutal would do some really phenomenal images for me. I do understand that a few people do not like Brutal, but he's always has been fine with me, along with funny and witty to boot. I guess the best way to describe Brutal is to say he was the Wolverine to the New Avengers.
3) What do you feel the current state of Hype Moderators is?
They have a job to do and for free. However, I feel some of the top moderators, Mirko, Excel, Malice, are out of touch. They are not here on a day to day or even on a weekly basis to know what's going on. They hear second hand what is going on and make a decision on that. Moderators are fallible, so just hearing their side of things, it puts a lot of faith soley on the mod. I think there are some people here, who don't deserve to be moderators, because they aren't people persons. They don't know how to talk and be unbiased in situations. Others just stick to their niche parts of the board and only get involved if there's an incident and usually in secret.
Moderators must be like every other poster, be involved and step out of the Ivory Tower once and while. And while they don't have to explain every action, they should have a uniform rules and regulations instead of saying, well I'm a mod and this is being closed while not even doing that sometimes.
4) What the hell is the monster in Cloverfield?
Find out next January? Mr. Stay Puff? Godzilla?
5) Who is the best poster on the Hype today?
There's too many to just pick one person. Everyone has their favorites. I think this place wouldn't be the same without people like Wilhelm, Jag, Bella, Mee, Toven, Daisy, etc. and while it may seem like I'm kissing ass, it is their jokes, opinions, advice that I truly respect and can relate too.
6) Please mock your opponents in some way.
I :heart: DBella and Mee. But if I can quote a movie I was just watching?

7) Is the Hype "broken" and if so, how would you fix it?
Posters grow up, get jobs, have less time for the Hype. The only constant are some moderators, certain posters etc. I think there a few moderators who should step down in favor of more "in touch" posters as well as ones who are just more personable. I think an over 18 section where some posters would be able to go. And tired of the excuses of well, we got some compalints so we had to delete the threads. It's almost the go to excuse for them.
8) CellDog (Memphis Slim)...SolidSnakeMGS...Moviefan2k4. All very annoying Hype Posters. How do you suggest we deal with these *******s? Who is the worst of them? And how do they compare to annoying Hypsters of yester-year like Bakerboy, Mr. Parker, and Forevershiningknight?
I hate to say this but those posters are what make SHH interesting and fun because their opinions, posts are just so ridiculous that it just because one of the better threads of the week.
If I had to pick the worst of them? Blind_Fury, with all his stuck up and condescending posts, and how much better he is than you are, taking a stance against something and then have him back peddle or finish with well I only meant this? Plus the fact he never takes the time to explain or back up his posts.
I have to confess I never had interactions with Bakerboy or Mr. Parker so I cannot accurately guage the similarities or differences.
9) Why should you be Hype President?
What haven't I done? Not to pat myself on my own back? I've run the Hotties Tournament, Survivor, Hype Deathmatches, I'm usually the voice of reason as well as ridicule in almost all the advice threads. Posters click on threads where they see my name because they know funny is on the way or already there. I'm respected by the older posters and I win over the newer ones. I think that pretty much speaks for itself.
10) Matt...great host or greatest host?
I'm a former host so how can I say you were better than me?
I have to say Tukiluka and Kipobe run the best Survivors.
You are good Matt, but I think instead of goading some of the people in this game, you should have ignored them. Also, you should have just let people drop out and not replaced them. It's best sometimes not to reinvent the wheel.
I felt your last Survivor was miles better than this one. Sorry, Matt. Maybe it had to do with the people who were involved.
