Hey all..
I just have a question about the moderators.. how do you get to become one? i'm not really interested in becoming one, i was just curious on how they are chosen.

Thanks.

Hehe... well originally Ray, the forum master, apparantely made a post advertising for moderators to assist him with the website.

Members then voted for one another etc etc and a while later Ray man came back with the results.

I wasn't around at the time as I was on a 2 month sabbatical!

jez, i dont think it went quite like that... ray asked for suggestions about mods... how many, what their powers should be, and yes, who... but i dont think it was a vote of any sort... so ray analized what we all sudggested... and now its like this...

It was mainly the top few on the hall of fame and the oldest (by age, not time on forum), so it's all related, but yeah, we were all also nominated, I got a few, so did Stan, Petra, Pandy, etc... and Ray made his choice.

There's a sticky topic of "How to become a moderator" so I'll close the others.
