I actually voted for houston b/c he gets on in the morning regularly at a time when the server would be a total clusterfuck if it weren't moderated. It's almost like he is there at the same time every day, as if it were actually a job. That shows some of the most respect I have seen in any mod for their responsibilities ever in this krew. He is reliable and, despite our past differences and all that, a well minded and intentioned moderator.
He is also consistently helping the recruitment process along. He posts all his temp bans now, even though officially mods are not require to anymore. While there are some things (silly posts, talking shit every once in a while, being a little harsh) that he does which I guess some people would choose not to vote for him over, when it comes to the things that actually _matter_ in terms of being a good moderator, he excels.

Also, to be honest, I am surprised that Joe and I are on this list when HBeta is not.
Also, I think it would be totally funny if an admin would tell us if anyone voted for themselves
If they voted for themselves, they should say why! Right?
