Background: We moderators get all the membership requests via email. Due to spammers, we insist that prospective members tell us why they want to join. We really don't care what the actual reason is, as long as it's gaming-related.
When I got this one, with the comment, "I am webmaster", I expected to hear the incidental music swelling in the background, and I wanted to shoot a reply back, "Wait, are you THE webmaster? Because I've got some nits to pick with you, buddy."
Telas, occasionally amused by the small things...
