lol a lot of people think that mods on pages are paid - and that is probably true for big boards like somethingaweful etc.
But lets be real, most pages have mods that do an outstanding job because they like the page.
So we have two options here both a little bit pathetic in its own right:
1) Matt paid members to be mods which is regarding the size of his board pretty stupid - you should always moderate and admin your board until it becomes so big that you actually need help - thats the golden rule for any web/board master.
2) Alex was either not informed correctly or just made it up
which isn't too cool - slandering somebody's name is a and will become increasingly more problematic and can have real life consequences.
You too just make up and be friends again
