When I joined the old forums, there were only 2-3 Admins and a few MODS.  Jo From Flo was the only daily active Admin.  I think the other two were actually accounts controlled by the team.

I became a MOD a one point because I've modd'd forums for a long long time and understood what it took to have control and be fair.  Denny became a MOD the same time I did.  I stepped down as a MOD at some point because I didn't have time for it.  Denny stayed on, and even then was letting the control go to his head.  Jo stepped down as an Admin.  Denny was promoted to ADMIN and became a tyrant, which is why he is so hated to this day.

Denny was not hated for his positive attitude, but for what he became when he took over the forums.  He and Joe both had emoji's created because they were both fan favorites for a long time.  Before he was a MOD Denny was actually (mostly) a beloved poster.  The problem is that most people don't remember that far back.

Appreciate the insight.

When I first joined the old boards I stayed out of jungle noise pretty much all together. Found the smack section much more of a home then some of the takes in the old jungle noise that were just super homerish. 

By the time I started to post in the old jungle noise, the beloved side of Denny had been replaced by the controlling side. I remember the emojii's though and you are right, he was a nice guy at the start of things. Just a very positive guy who was super passionate about the team.
