Check the user info. At least one of the mods is definitely watching the community. :) So I just thought I'd be polite and say hi to her!

And if they are...so what?

They've already banned all of us from the other comm, not like they can DO anything to us!

*grins* So if they're going to watch, might as well acknowledge them and say hi and stuff. :)
Don't mind me, I'm just amusing myself.

-=waves hi to the silly mod watching this=-

Yes, of COURSE we're mocking you! Because we'd have nothing better to do.
/sarcasm

To the new member, hi! I see they're culling the herd of sensible people again. Can't wait to see what other rants are going to occurr. Hopefully, I will be a little more clear in them than recently. :)
