The name of that first main thread is "The Mods are NOT EXEMPT FROM ANY RULES". That's the entire premise that this forum was made on; we wanted to escape a place where moderators were free to pick and choose what rules had to be followed and who had to follow them, exempting themselves from anything they felt like.
We think we've done a half decent job of creating the forum - what started out as a bit of fun has ended up with over two thousand members and is still going strong five years later. But the real magic isn't the mods - it's the members. It doesn't matter if you joined in 2016 or last week, every person that has jumped in with an opinion, a meme, or a tidbit of information has contributed to the atmosphere of calm debate, less calm excitement, and community that we try to create at IDB.
Happy 5 Year Anniversary, In Depth Bants!

alittledizzy, missemma, oqua, jesp, rizzo, Catallena, lefthandedism
