Joey is a former admin, moderator, and Wiki Sysop.
On June 22nd, Joey became a moderator for the General Chat but lost this title on November 14, 2007. He last visited the forums in early 2011.
Achievements
Joey is the first member to earn more than five of every Drawing Competition badge: 5+ Gold, 5+ Silver, 5+ Top.
Moderator
Joey was a strict moderator, and without most of his colleagues being active he often made decisions that were supposed to be out of his power. Joey was so strict, however, that some MFGGers (many of which were once or twice put on the permabanned list) became vexed over his position of power and protested many of the decisions he made. He was the target of many flames (ironically against the rules Joey upheld), and even the subject of an entire subforum on an underground MFGG-related website.
Joey’s demeanor on the forums prior to his position was reflective of his personality as a moderator. Having the privilege of being friends with the administration at the time, he often got away with flaming and harassing other members. He would often exploit the “no outside disputes” rule to harass members via AIM or LiveJournal.
De-Mod
On November 14th, 2007, Joey was de-modded after RII left his position as admin.
Joey stuck around until 2011, until a member he did not like was promoted to moderator. He dramatically announced he was done with the forums, much to the amusement of several members who were not fans of him.
Misc
He once dabbled in Fan Gaming and reviewing fangames, and gained his Big Help Badge by working around the clock with Shadowman to create thumbnails for all of the sprite sheet submissions on MFGG. He currently keeps up with former staff members Klobber, and Trasher, among many others.
He is no longer friends with Shadowman for unknown reasons, confirmed when Shadowman wrote a retrospective claiming they “were” good friends, followed by a statement that Joey’s only contributions were posting memes and harassing other members. Sources mention that the two had a falling out over political beliefs.
He is also the creator and main administrator of a Team Fortress 2 server for MFGGers called "Video Game Lord's Domain," originally started as an alternate server to Mecha the Slag's own TF2 server at the time.
