Mike is not a moderator.
He is simply granted access to non-public areas and the software thinks he's a moderator. It's a software flaw.

I have said at least one time and I'm going to say it again:
There has never been a connection between that promise and these meet & greets. This is just your opinion and it is in fact splitting hairs to suggest that these m&g were arranged for the promise. I had a discussion regarding this as the registering topics were opened for public access and some people were moaning about the 8 people limit and the limited amount of Meet & Greets. That promise wasn't our idea, in fact all of us have been quite suprised to find something like this on a public forum. Furthermore we have never been contacted on how to fulfill that promise. With these points in mind the 1st message talking about that "forgotten promise" was hijacking the thread and directing the discussion into another personal argument. The arguments did not stop - now you can continue in Fight Club.

I have absolutely no problem with the Fight Club. I installed the Fight Club because I simply don't like these I-need-to-have-the-last-word-on-this-disussions. Just for fun, check the posts in Fight Club and do a topten list of messages there. You might be surprised who has the highest postcount. Looks like, if these people wouldn't be around, there would be no need for the Fight Club. Anyway, I have no problem to get rid of the Fight Club. This however would mean that I'd tell my moderators to lock threads as soon as they drift to off-topic. Is it that what you want?

For those who think I'm trying bury this topic:
I don't mind if somebody opens a new topic in "Genereal Messages" dealing exactly (and only) with "The broken promise".
Start one, keep it on topic and discuss. I have absolutely no problem with that.
In fact, I'm wondering why nobody did this as of now.
