make me a moderator ;-)

j/k

how does one go about attaining such a prestigious position??

seems like thers a shift in power since this board was last up...

maybe its the opportunity to squeeze in some influence ;-)

I think it's almost necessary to have those in power perceive a need for moderators, or in this case more moderators, such as ourselves. I mean, it really is important--there are so many off-topic posts to be shuffled around and large images to be changed into links. I just want all of you moderators to know, that if you're looking for a Few Good Men, I'm one of them.

you'd have to be completely absolutely totally nuts and crazy and insane (and probably even have a fair dose of stupidity thrown in) to ever want to be a moderator on an online mac forum. oh it looks wonderful and glorious from the outside. but once you're inside, you're trapped, and made into a slave and you're constantly suspicious of everybody and you have to always watch your back, and it just really really sucks, and they take over you and it's pure torture for ever and ever. you really don't ever want to ever be a moderator. ever.



trust me

First, mods are added as they are needed.



Second, under the old regime, mods were chosen by the mods. We didn't pay attention to requests either (except to mark down people who seemed too eager). I have never asked to be a mod (or to take similar positions elsewhere), but I accepted when I was asked.



I don't really understand why people get so excited about the possibility of being a mod. Basically, you go from being a forum member to being a forum member with custodial duties. It's a service I'm happy to perform, but it's not all that and all that.
