New Moderator Request

[Stealth]

We should have a new moderator, since the forum is quite active and we should have someone around with higher powers since the admin is not around much.

We need someone responsible and someone who we can trust.

My vote goes to Mystical Sand

I think the admin should consider this, and everyone should let their thoughts out

[ssjup81]

True. This would be a good idea, especially, like you said, the admin isn't even around much anymore.

This is a very, very, very important point because we need to re-activate this forum with new energy and ideas.
We need to gather m.o.v.e fans all over the world with a cool forum and a moderator that can do a good job (and we now who's the best for this role ^^).

[Mystical Sand]

I agree; the site needs someone active to do things like add affiliate links and do general site maintenance and whatnot, since only people with mod privileges can. Three of our staff haven't logged in since 2007! The other two last logged in in April and May, respectively. I know Richard still lurks around here sometimes and the last time we spoke he was making a new layout for the site, but I haven't seen him since. XD;

I'm flattered by the nomination, Stealth. If the admin gave me access to the mod parts of the site, I'd be willing to give it a shot. I might need to Google myself a crash course in using proboards, since I've never moderated a forum before, but... I'd do my best.

As for my own nominations: any of the three of you, Stealth, ssjup, and pedro. You're all still active and it can't hurt to have more than one active moderator to bounce ideas back and forth.

it's not to tough to learn how to be a mod, making the forum is much tougher, maintaining it is much easier

Hmm, we just need Richard to come by to see this and share his input on this idea

[ssjup81]

I haven't modded in a long time either. I am a mod on another board, but, the problem is that I never have to do much there. I liked it more before the other guy took it over. The section I used to mod was dropped altogether (multimedia), so that's about it. I'm mod of their fanfiction section now so you know nothing ever happens there. Other site I used to mod on, the site doesn't exist anymore.

I concur.

And, y'know, I used to be a mod here, what happened?

[spike21]

You should come a bit more before asking to become moderator !

[ssjup81]

So, what's the deal now? Are we going to get new mods to work on the forum?

[Stealth]

we want too, but were waiting for the actual admin to come in and read this

Were you a mod? I thought you and I just randomly had special titles (gold and silver movers, respectively). Which, btw, my silver star that I worked so hard on in paint shop pro doesn't even show up most of the time. XP

Last time I talked to Richard on AIM (back in the dark ages) he was making a new layout for the place and told me he was thinking of giving me mod status but then he disappeared again...

Basically, our hands are tied until he notices and changes up the mod team.

[pedropinilla]

Silver star??? (I can't see it)

but Mystical, you should have a gold star for all the information that you always bring to us ^^.

[spike21]

What is that system of star ?

[Mystical Sand]

@pedro - Yeah, I used to have a big silver star icon where you have the three smaller gold ones. Now it just says "image" in brackets. XD; And that's sweet of you to say. *flattered* I think the reason Variable had the gold and I had the silver, though, was because:

@spike - Once upon a time, I think the gold/silver/bronze star thing had to do with the number of posts we had on the forum. There were the mods, and then Variable had the most posts, so he got gold, and then I was in second place, so I had silver, and someone had a bronze one; forget who (I just remember making the graphic; maybe it was molotov?)
