MLUKFC: In Depth

Steve6 · 09 Sep 2010, 13:58

I decided to create this thread, because there are questions about MLUKFC that I'd love to hear answers to.

I'm sure there are questions other members have too so this is the perfect thread to do so.

I hope I don't sound to blunt either I don't mean to be

R is the creator and owner of this site and he's from Germany; why did he decide to create a UK fanclub?

Are the rumours true the moderators on this forum get free tickets to a Meat Loaf concert, and free M&G passes too?

How did the moderators get their jobs on this forum, what talents did they have that other people didn't?

If R was to die does that mean MLUKFC would die too, as in be shut down? (sorry about this one but it's an interesting question)

How many people have been permanently banned from this forum?

Has anyone ever met their lover on MLUKFC?

That's it for the moment if someone can take time out to respond to some of these questions I'd be grateful. I think this could develop into an interesting thread.

1. R is a member of the UK Fan Club, back in the day the fan club's online presence was via a Yahoo chatroom, from that the first mlukfc.com site was created and it grew from there.

2. They're complete bollocks.

3. They're carefully selected following a rigorous applicaiton and interview session involving exams and practical exercises conducted in secret in the Scottish Highlands.

4. He's going to live for ever. Rainer has however, been pretty much the single constant in the MLUKFC management team as it's changed over the years.

5. None of your business

6. See five

Answer 1: was interesting, and it's explains how MLUKFC was founded.

Answer 3: I don't believe at all; it sounds like something you would do in the army.
Answer 4: So does someone have this forum in their will?
Answer 5: there isn't anything personal in giving us a figure on who's banned because a figure never hurt anyones feelings

Answer 6: Ah come on sure people would be delighted to hear romance stories on MLUKFC

Andy and Monstro's exercises involved drinking whisky...mine involved having to avoid making sarcastic statements throughout the training, it was the longest five minutes i've ever experienced.

Indeed. And we try to go on regular refresher sessions too

Steve6 · 09 Sep 2010, 15:14

So all you moderators have met before? But you aren't in the same country!!

I'm guessing being a moderator has no benefits..all you get is access to the delete/edit buttons, and peoples email and IP addresses.

Question 5 makes me giggle, considering who asked it.

Steve6 · 09 Sep 2010, 16:51

The two posts by Andy and Radiomaster add to the conspiracy. I always knew the moderators weren't doing the job for the love of it. R has them well looked after. I'm sure they get free coffee and doughnut vouchers for all the hours spent on their computers minding this forum. Oh and is it true that the moderators have their only special room on this forum too? I'd love to see what the discussions are like in their!!

*AndyK* · 09 Sep 2010, 16:56

If you truly believe that what RJ and I said was serious then you are more deluded than I thought...

24K · 09 Sep 2010, 17:02

Seriously Steve, can you really not tell when someone is joking ? Its as plain as day !

Steve6 · 09 Sep 2010, 17:28

They deserve a free ticket and a M&G pass for all their work to be fair. I wouldn't be jealous at all. This website has been a huge benefit to Meat Loaf since it's creation, and those that help run it everyday deserve their just rewards.

Rage Against · 09 Sep 2010, 17:34

I'd like to know if any of the moderators were the second gunman on the grassy knoll???

Steve6 · 09 Sep 2010, 17:50

1963!!! they would be to young to remember.

I think it is worth remembering when people are kicking off and getting themselves infracted/banned/being generally unpopular that the Mods and Admins here are doing this in their own time (and it is a lot of time) and entirely for free...very easy to forget sometimes...

I agree we're fantastic people...and also modest

There is no one on here that I would class as unpopular.. everybody gets along very well. To be fair they don't being giving out much infraction points or bans lately. It's that kind of power is what makes them love their job as a MLUKFC moderator.

Rage Against · 09 Sep 2010, 18:59

I would also like to know:

How many people have been banned for asking, "how many people have been banned"?
