I'm not sure what kind of forum you were an administrator on before, but if you only feel that you get something out of a "job" if you get paid, that's just sad. |
It was just sad, actually. At first it felt like I was getting something out of it. It was rewarding to see the community grow and become known as a place to come to discuss our hobby and to have a lot of laughs. I left the experience bitter and never wishing to repeat it.

That's the problem with being "funny;" I'm not always funny except to me. Sometimes it just doesn't work out, sometimes it all comes out wrong.

That makes sense. The people who are the worst about the rules are usually also the ones wanting to put their male and female guinea pig together because they seem lonely but will separate them if they start mounting.

Sorry, that wasn't the intent. I'm a goofy, dorky person, and I spend a diminishing amount of my time with both feet planted firmly in my mouth. I'm very flexible, so this works out okay in the long run, but it doesn't always come across well in text.
