I've wondered this too. It'd be nice to have an accurate account of which players are active, and by extension which monsters are too.

Related to active players....
Gira and Hayes are really the only mods left that do much reffing around here. IR is busy with the championships of course, but it's these two tackling all the other stuff. I think it's a problem we need to solve one way or another.
Branching off of that... Does MM really still need to be an admin? Not only is he the least active ref on the site (he had to be persuaded by IR to ref a certain match, and promptly forgot all about it for months), but he hasn't needed to use his powers as an admin yet. Hell, all I've seen is abuse of that power: the day he temp banned me for making a joke for example, or the time he tried his damn hardest to get certain members banned because he thought we were alternet accounts for some reason.

MM doesn't even come here anymore from what I understand. His profile says he hasn't logged in since last December.

I must echo KK's sentiments... I think we need a more active moderator/Admin for the UCA, since it's primarily me and Hayes doing everything, and MM is sorta just... sitting around like a baboon making money grabs at toys. Not to insult him, but I think ATM, it's sorta a wasted position of power that could have alot more potential in someone else's hands.
@yabs: Actually, he does come on. He's just invisible the entire time. Only the mods can see him.

If my calculations are correct, there's 10-15 active posters here currently. Gira/Hayes. What do you think would be an ideal number of moderators?

Uuuuum, I got a stupid question: How do you know what arena to post in?

Well first off, you and whoever you are fighting must choose an arena to fight in. Once a decision is made, then you make the thread with a name both fighters can easilly identify and remember. But mostly, you just choose an arena with your fighting buddy. The colosseum, however, is off limits most of the time except for special events.

I have a slight grasp on the rules, so if I end up having enough time I'll try this out.

I'm aware of that. I was just browsing through the monsters and stumbled across Masptot and Agrul who haven't seen action in over two years and are still listed under the Active Monsters section. Because the owner never asked for them to be retired. But yes. in the past I have gone through periodically and retired the monsters of players that had been inactive for a year or more. The main reason I haven't don't so recently is because the Proboards update has made it impossible to sort threads by creator, which consequently makes sorting through the monsters to retire the inactive ones a chore, to say the least. Related to active players.... Gira and Hayes are really the only mods left that do much reffing around here. IR is busy with the championships of course, but it's these two tackling all the other stuff. I think it's a problem we need to solve one way or another. Branching off of that...

Hell, all I've seen is abuse of that power: the day he temp banned me for making a joke for example, or the time he tried his damn hardest to get certain members banned because he thought we were alternet accounts for some reason. No offense KK, but you're the last person that should be criticizing others for inactivity. You're the primary reason the championship matches have dragged on for so long, and thus tied up my ability to ref. The UCA isn't THAT active anyway. I'm pretty sure Gira and Hayes aren't currently reffing 5+ matches (I am). And besides that, there is another ref you're forgetting about: Omegarex. Sure he doesn't volunteer for doing it, but he does log in regularly and there's nothing stopping you from shooting him a PM and asking if you're seriously having trouble getting a ref. I will grant you the criticisms regarding MM, though.

What is with all these member's names turning weird? Gira is Tenshi the Bratty Celestial, Hayes is Fainis the Sadistic Pansexual, AH is Beargguy Mother Fudger. And a bunch of others have changed to. Anyone want to let me in on the joke?

No idea myself, I just jumped on the bandwagon. My current name is a reference to this:

We all just felt like making silly names and changing our avies to fit those names. No inside joke, really.

Anyone want to let me in on the joke? It started with a typo in an AIM chat group that made KK's character Kadrah looks like she had a questionable interest in one of Gira's character. And it all sort of snowballed from there...

In typical AIM conversation fashion, it spiraled out of control into a ridiculous running joke.

My spellcheck hates me. It changed my post about Kadrah "dealing with Persephone" to Kadrah "feeling Persephone," or something to that effect.
So "Kadrah is a perv" jokes started cropping up.
More recently, spellcheck decided to reveal that I was a lesbian. I don't even remember what the original word was supposed to be anymore. Hayes has pictures I presume.
Then came a day where we were bored and inserting our names in to our monster's names for whatever WTF reason. Armagedan, Fhayesnis, stuff like that. I questioned to myself that if I was "KKadrah", would that make me a pervy lesbian?
That particular joke spread to the UCA because Hayes said he'd change his username to match Fainis if I changed mine to KKadrah the Pervy Lesbian. Dan followed in with Arma, and then a couple other people joined in.
Disappointingly, IR didn't have much of a reaction to the insanity on here. So now I'm waiting for MM to eventually pop up on the site, because if I know MM, he'll have at least something to say about my username.
