AMA: 1000 Posts of Unpaid Labour

[Bartolumiu]

Hallo hallo, your local slave mod here.

Against my better judgment, I've been informed that hitting 1000 posts on the MangaDex Forums means I am legally obligated by ancient tradition to host an Ask Me Anything thread. So here we are. I am officially touching the four-digit milestone. (Please don't ask about my daily screen time, the answer will just make us all sad).

I'll be monitoring this thread and answering your burning questions from my setup, fueled almost entirely by caffeine, questionable life choices, and whatever lingering sanity I have left after managing the last batch of site events.

The Ground Rules​

Before you start typing, let's establish some basic boundaries so I don't have to break out the ban hammer on my own celebration thread:

• Keep it decent: Apply the "Grandma Rule." If you wouldn't ask your grandma this question, don't ask it here. Otherwise, you'll probably notice my perception of human decency kicking in real fast
• No politics or drama: Permanent ban territory. We don't do that here
• Site features & fixes: I'm a mod, not a wizard. I can't magically make your favorite axed series come back or single-handedly code a new feature overnight (alright, maybe I can do this one, but don't expect anything great). But I can absolutely make fun of you for asking! (especially if you're Bananacchi~♪)

What CAN you ask?​

Literally anything else. Want to know about the chaos behind the scenes? My favorite ad banner or gacha card submission? What brand of cat food the Ministry of Truth actually serves? Have at it.

Just remember: as a wise man once said, "the more you fuck around, the more you'll find out". Let's see what you've got.

Fire away!

CAKE OR PIE?

So, about the new comment feature...

Now, seriously, are you both a mod and a dev? I thought devs wouldn't do moderator work

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

-what skills have you developed as a moderator that you could see helping you in your (future) career?

-what was it like growing up in the 1950s?

-have any of your bans ever looked like this?:

Anyways, what got you into MangaDex?

 

[Richman]

Would you kindly write a haiku in Basque that @EOTFOFYL would enjoy?

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

mods asking another mod questions in a mod's AMA? smells like an inside job to me...

 

[Grogzilla]

What is your mother's credit card number, expiration date, and the three funny little numbers on the back of the card?

Unrelated, but is she single?

Keep it decent: Apply the "Grandma Rule." If you wouldn't ask your grandma this question, don't ask it here.

Anyway, Barto-baachan, have you taken your meds today?

 

[robertelch]

What does your boyfriend think about the work you're doing on MangaDex?

 

[Nemo2342]

What's the afterlife like?

(You did say to only ask questions I'd ask my grandma).

 

[panzerkampfwagyu]

Anyways, gateway drug manga or anime?

 

[Dverin_Oshiban_Duren]

Guys, I don't think that's how the grandma rule works...

What's your favourite outdoor activity?

How often do you make #comments and which is your favourite?

I have a suggestion based on this thread by @Edo4169 :

Spoiler

It would be nice if we could bookmark individual pages or just chapters and add them to a list within MD. Like that'd be a great feature which I'm sure many will appreciate. Even if it's only stored locally it'd be cool. You don't have to make to make this overnight but can you like try to get it on a suggestion list or something?
Actually, it would be better if you ask whomever is in charge and once you get a greenlight, let me know first so that I can make a thread and get maybe two or three likes hehehe.

Optional questions (yes, the others are mandatory):
Please tell us a bedtime story.

 

[yogurtman250]

Nami or Dex-chan?

What's your favourite emote?
