It's called "senior moderator". It's an unreleased package, you have to bribe a LOT of people to get it, but once you get it, the fun begins !

Pfft, I can undercut this... I'll do it for half price

We're still working out the kinks, of course. But err.. We didn't really foresee Senior Moderators buying these deals so we might regret this deeply

Mods are also regular members!
Honestly, I am a bit tired to follow the rules... I mean Mods are the ones who should show the example and it's sometimes frustrating, we need to be careful anytime... This is why I've bought the HOTHEAD pass.
Well that means I won't have the hot pink... Hmm... not a big deal, this is a minor issue. Thanks anyway man!
Now I can profit!! After 5 years being a mod, all those constraints are gone!

Well, there's market for everyone...

Well, April Fool !

Ugh I had to shell out for Hothead version. Pls don't ban me!

Welcome to xda-developers.com
This site is about certain PDA-phones, made by a firm called HTC in Taiwan. Their makers named them 'Wallaby', 'Himalaya', 'Blue Angel', 'Wizard' and 'TyTN', but almost nobody knows them by those names. The mobile provider O2 sells them under the brand-name 'XDA', and that's what we had in our hands first. They're also known as Qtek, MDA, SX-56, Hermes and many, many other names.
Since we develop software for it, we need information, and nobody seemed eager or ready to give us what we needed. So we 'reverse-engineered' the devices, found a lot of information, and shared it with the world. But as our site grew we realised that lots of ordinary users were also suffering from a lack of support. They started using the xda-developers forum to communicate and before long the forum was as much a user forum as it was a developer forum.
We hope that you will enjoy this site and find it as useful as we do. We encourage you to donate or otherwise support this site. Of course absolutely all proceeds from donations will benefit this community.

Yeah, that's thanks to the HD2 lol
Well deserved as well. Best site for technical advice on HTC & Winmo and progressing greatly on Android front to
Would be nice to get the active count up though
This is one of the best online communities I've been to
hats off to us all i say
Couple of Questions
This is very good news but I have some questions:
- How are the XDA servers bearing up under the weight of all these members? Getting error 502-bad gateway is a routine occurrence when I log on at night in Europe (daytime in the US) and find all our American cousins logged on, hogging our servers. How dare they (lol)
- Given that this site is probably singularly responsible for a whole load of people sticking with the HTC brand, has anyone from XDA actually approached HTC for financial support and/or technical collaboration? We seem to be solving all their problems for them and keeping them in business without so much as a Corporate thank you in sight
- Moderation, with this number of members, must be an absolute nightmare. How does one nominate oneself to carry on this good work (hint hint)?

1 & 2: the 502 errors are software errors, the only system level workaround is to build an entire resilient failover system, and this will be more that just new hardware .
We (well the admins) are still working on the software issues that are causing the problems.
As for moderators, we are 60 strong, but not all active at once, some of the others have real lives to live.

Dave,
Thanks for the answers to my questions.
As for moderators leading real lives, are you telling me XDA is not the REAL world? I feel like Truman off the Truman Show. Has it all been an illusion, a figment of someone else's turgid imagination (gets his coat)?
WB
Wow!!
Yes we are huge!
I think the real interesting number is the active users one as the 2 mill sure includes a lot of one time only enter members, spammers, etc.
Very funny Mike (ROFL).
WB
Somehow we need to get a "number of images posted by Mike" count. It must be near the 10,000 mark by now!
3 members moderating 2,206 users??? wow!
first time ive been on a site thats even gone pass 100k
good job
that IS huge.

I wonder if it's possible to organize a date to break our record of "most ever online" with a thread to check-in. Certainly would be interesting to me.

You Rock XDA for Saying No to Bigotry!

Thank you XDA's moderators for keeping this group focused on the phones and development rather than a place for bigots to throw insults around and use hateful, prejudiced language.
I was searching on the web for a new ROM for my Galaxy Note when I came across one here on the XDA site that looked interesting. After getting into its thread, I noticed it was closed. So, being the curious person that I am, I copied the dev's name and did a search on it. Sure enough, the dev was still using that name on aR new forum. On this new forum, someone asked him why he was banned from XDA. He responded that he had been suspended once before for calling someone a "fag" and then set up a new account to get around it, was caught, then banned for a year. Recently, he was in a "fight" with a moderator one night and the next morning discovered he was banned for life and all of his threads were shut down and his links/files were removed. He feels he was treated poorly and this was too harsh because all of his "hard work" was now for nothing. He was looking for others to commiserate with him, and of course, there were those that did and welcomed him to the new forum.
Well, I say good riddance. I will not be going to that other forum while he is there. I have no interest supporting bigots. He obviously saw nothing wrong with calling someone a "fag" since he so proudly mentioned it in his response, trivializing it as though it was nothing. I can only imagine what hateful language he was using with that moderator recently.
So again, thank you to XDA's moderators for keeping this a place for everyone to feel comfortable and not supporting bigotry, YOU ROCK!
Seriously, why can't everyone's first post on this forum be like this?
Thank you for not being like a lot of the new users, who just post rubbish across the forums.
Also for what it's worth, I agree with you 100% about the great job that the moderators and admins do.
Finally, welcome to XDA and I hope you continue to visit and enjoy your time here

Which Watch Faces Do You Want To Replicate?

I'm sure this part of Android wear will end up with lawyers involved and people with tear filled eyes within the next 60 days.
WATCHFACES.
Which ones would you love to see recreated on your Moto360?
For me, it's the Breitling Navimeter Series Cosmonaute, or as I call it...The Perfect Watch.
I'm not one to chase status symbols, but damn... damn.

Or the Breitling you get when you buy a Bentley Contenental....
PanoInverse XL from Glashütte Original
PanoInverse XL as a black one looks really great
Grande Cosmopolite Tourbillon from Glashütte Original
Zürich Weltzeit from NOMOS Glashütte
But I'll end up with a simple bauhaus style watchface.

			
				
I'm very simple. Just give me a Rolex submariner face with the branding. Yeah I know its a licensing issue, but hey its what I would want.
Have you seen the watch faces that are available for the Samsung Gear?
http://gearfaces.com
(keep in mind it's square of course)
Should give you some idea of what's possible. There are hundreds of them, once you figure out how to use the site. And copyrights don't appear to be an issue, lol [emoji87] [emoji85] [emoji86]
I own this watch..its beautiful. I would love a Longines face on M360.

Does Gearfaces have Moto 360/Android Wear faces support yet, or were you making a general statement about the images on your site?
I want this crazy face:

Yeah, just in general. There is already a guy who stole the hands from a face on my website. And ia selling it in the playstore. Which I think is unacceptable without asking or giving proper credits.

It will be seen here, this is why we put the thread here, for the public to see and his family. Thank you for your words.
Tom was one of the best moderators we had. Always very approachable and went out of his way to help both fellow moderators and users. He will be greatly missed.
I'll share one of my first encounters with Tom personally .
I was a RC. Already had my Mod application moving forward. Then as I recall, I may have overstepped my bounds posting where I shouldn't have silly He gave me a scolding that day. Lol
Then I became a Mod. And there's TonyStark. Crap I thought, he hates me. Lol. But far from it, I found he was inviting, encouraging and helped learn me the ropes, along with others.
He was a class act and devoted himself to this site. His presence will be missed here, and everywhere.
You are missed Tom, but never to be forgotten. :highfive:
thank you tom for helping with various threads here. thank you for your reply a week ago.. i hate someone leave but if thats the will of the almighty then let it be. may you enjoy the journey you are in now. you will be missed. may your family stand strong after you departed. they shall be blessed
