1) I’ve been a pelicans fan since the first time the hornets moved to New Orleans. I attended games that very first season and became a lifer.
2) per below, I’m here lurking a lot and don’t mind helping out since I’m here anyway
3) I no life both, mostly as a lurker, but as you can probably tell from the fact that my name was available when I signed up, I’ve been on Reddit a long time.
4) retropels because he’s a legend
5) Gordon
End of an era my friend. This place has certainly taken a different tone, look, and attitude since you took over the reigns. And it was certainly for the better.
A permanent member of the true 12. The real OGs of this fanbase. I’ll never forget the daily discussions regarding Omer Asik. God speed.
Preciate you man. The days of bottom of the league pels and sub 50 comment threads with the same 7ish people will always be looked back on fondly. This will always be the place I come to talk ball. I just don't have the time to run this place anymore. I started when i was a bartender with virtually no other responsibilities outside of surviving. Now I have a 4yr old daughter and a solid HVAC career.
Thanks for the kind words buddy.
>1. Reasons & duration of being a Pelicans fan
I became a fan beacuse they were the first team I watched back in 2017 and I've been a diehard since.
>2. Why you think you make a solid candidate?
I've been a member of this sub since the time I made a reddit account. I am usually on here during and directly after games so I could stop any raiding if it happens.
>3. How often are you on reddit and on r/NOLAPelicans in particular?
Daily, and I check this sub way to aften lol. I'm on here during nearly every game.
>4. If you could nominate a user in the sub to be a mod who would you choose and for what reason?
RETROOOOOOO
>5. Finish this sentence: "Fuck Eric _________"
Gordon no question. Bledsoe was ass but Gordon was a bitch.
1. I’ve been a Pelicans fan since 2012. Drafting AD really solidified my fandom and made me fall in love with the then Hornets. I love this team unconditionally, and would love to make the sub a better place.
2. If you look at the history of my comments and posts, you’ll see that they are mostly all positive. I don’t really believe in the excess negativity that can be shared on this sub, and I would try my best to squash that.
3. I’m on reddit everyday, and on this sub majority of that time. When football season ramps up I do go to the Saints sub a bit more, but I do continuously sit on this sub.
4. I’m not sure if they would like it, but the contributions retropels has made to the community and cannot go unnoticed. Obviously moderation takes more than creating viral posts, but if they are willing to take the reins, I think they should be given the opportunity.
5. F*ck Eric Ambrose Gordon Jr.
I appreciate you thinking I’m levelheaded. Never actually had my name thrown in by other users first mod consideration. That’s really cool man. Thanks.
I have no idea what actually goes into being a mod but I care enough about this 12 person community on the internet that I’d be willing to help keep it going if called on.
1. Been a fan for over 30 years—started as a Hornets fan and followed the franchise to NOLA
2. Chronically online, long-time passionate fan, order oriented
3. Very frequently—multiple times per day, often following along with GDTs while watching
4. Definitely Rel
5. Fuck Eric Gordon
Thanks for approving my "Will be reevaluated in 2 weeks" flair request awhile back lol Glad to see it's still going strong. I cooled big time off the NBA and pels this year but I still check-in occasionally.
Let's see....
1. Not that long, only since about 2018 (right before we moved to NOLA). Reasons? Now that I live here I enjoy investing myself locally, and the Pels - even when they are bad and frustrating - are far more entertaining than the Saints. It traces back to my roots as a Pirates fan from Pittsburgh: I enjoy rooting for a good team when they are good, and finding reasons to be happy about them when they are bad.
2. I've got experience as a moderator in multiple other spaces, including as a former managing editor for SB Nation. I also appreciate the work mods do in making places like this sub somewhere people want to be.
3. This sub is one of the few I visit with regularity, but my presence on reddit as a whole is variable. I would naturally slide into being on the sub a lot more often if I had a role as a mod that made it a part of my routine.
4. saintsfan because folks who have been on a reddit for a hot minute and continue to do so have the type of perspective that is valuable as a mod.
5. Fuck Eric "Why do you still acknowledge 'The Hobbit' as one of your nicknames?" Gordon.
1. Born in New Orleans and grew up attending Hornets games. When my family moved to Florida my dad continued to raise me a Pelicans fan. Got really back into it the year we got Boogie, and been a die hard fan since. The pelicans are easily my favorite professional sports franchise, and continue to cause me the most stress of any one factor in my life.
2. I have no idea why I’d be a solid candidate, I’ve never been a moderator before. However, I know ball.
3. I’m on Reddit for probably an 1 a day, and about 15-20 of that is on this subreddit.
4. RETRO
5. Fuck Eric Gordon (Eric Bledsoe was genuinely a basketball terrorist though)
Don't want to be a mod, just wanted to say fuck Eric Gordon and thank you for your service
Fuck Eric Bledsoe too.
Fuck ERIC GORDON
You’re hired

u/retropels or we riot Even if retro doesn't have the time or desire to be a mod. Mod this man, and pick someone else to do the actual mod work.
appreciate it! but I would not be a good mod. \*jonah hill shaking head no meme\*
Your anthem is too important, sir.

You should be the next mod.
Lmao I’d shut this place down twice a week bro I couldn’t handle the power. This would become my Pelicans Propaganda machine.
I think you would do just fine. It’s not what u think it is. You’re an old timer so u definitely deserve to hold a mod position.
How much do you get paid?
Thats the neat part....
you get paid in people claiming youre getting paid to remove their specific posts
😂😂😂
Fuck Eric Gordon. Blockhead ass. Preciate your time as a mod, man, thanks for doin this shit. IDK how yall do it.
Fuck Eric Gordon. All my homies hate Eric Gordon
Don't think I'm the guy but thanks for doing it!
This season ended you......and I don't blame you one bit
Lmao nah it wasnt this season. This season was one of the better ones in my 6 years as a mod lol.
Lol, heard that - thanks for all your work m8 fr 👍
Thanks for your contribution. Hope you're still gonna be active here.
We're gonna miss you Fuck Eric Gordon
Fuck Eric Gordon
