AB
From Interdex, the community-edited guide to the local internet.
AB (also known as sners) is a Flash animator and the owner of Albino Blacksheep, ABS Forums and #albinoblacksheep. While he originally ran the forums and IRC channel, he has since delegated most of this duty to moderators and ops. Following the April 2, 2005 ABS Forums takeover, he removed most of the forum moderators, and is now very cautious about who is allowed to moderate.
He appears to have enforced a limit of around 10 simultaneous moderators, presumably to deter another takeover. Many believe this limit would not actually help to prevent another takeover, and that his reluctance to allow additional moderators does more harm than good. Others claim he spends so little time on the forums, he should not be enacting rules like this.
After the forums suffered a massive spamming from ZAF on Christmas 2006, he told the moderators to be more lenient, citing "member feedback". When being serious, it is customary to address him as Steve or Mr. Lerner, something which makes him feel threatened.
