Okay, we have 100 members exactly. As I previously promised, it's time for two new moderators. I've got Doma and mimic12455 down for moderating. Anyone else?
Also, it finally dawned on me that the forum is behaving and looking differently than the way it was initially set up. I don't know if this has anything to do with some people not being able to edit their avatars/sigs, but it's more likely than not. Any suggestions to improve the forum?
I would like to be a mod,I would always look for usful contrbutions and make it my mission to keep flamers away but no promises there...so how bout it?
I think I could do the job, but I haven't been around for long, so take that for what it's worth.
Regarding the forum, I think it runs quite smoothly as is. Sometimes it marks a thread as having new posts when it really doesn't, but that's a minor quibble since I usually go by the times to see what's new.

As do I nominate Black_oracle and I also come here a lot loike every mintue of every day because well...I got nothing better to do.
Oracle should be a mod for being the top member concerning posts, and being a really good fanfic writer, and being a loyal Loonatics fan, and...well, you get the idea.

Good grief! I never come to the Headquarters forum! I really should check it more! People think i'd make a good mod? Aww gosh you guys! *Blushes profusely.* Umm, what does a mod have to do exactly then? Don't know if i'd be any good at the role really.
We have 100 members now? That's good news! The LU fan population grows!
On the side of improving the forum, i feel it runs smoothly for the most part. I've noticed some of the minor points about post limits within a certain time frame and threads being highlighted as having a new post when they don't necessarily as oddity and Skifox says. But those are really minor points. The quick reply feature has been very convenient for me personally, but i don't have an emoticon list to add smiles to my quick replies with. But that's no real biggie either.
Awesome! I see many have agreed with my nomination for Black Oracle for mod
As for moderator responsibilities, it's pretty much making sure things are in check on the forum... tidying up stuff here and there, and also if there's any disputes/activity that goes against the rules of the forum - we'd try to end that as soon as we could...
I figured that you'd be a good moderator since you're around for the most part and you tend to see most of the activity here... 'cept for this post
I have been a frequent attendee to these boards for a while, but i don't know if i'd be any use at settling disputes if they happen. I could always give it a go tho'.

I think you`d be good at it. You helped me through a dispute before, and I`m a mod, making you some kind of meta-mod. You`re like a warrior who fights not with a sword, but with sincerity and words. I`d definitely nominate you for the job.

Wise? Me? *Scratches head like a monkey.*

Aww shucks! I think you portray me as a bigger person than i really am. I just try to help where i feel i can.
*scratches head* So it was just my imagination after all...
Hmm. Black_Oracle, loonaticfan, and Skifox are in the running. Has anyone seen Doma lately?
The forum is automatically set for someone not to post until after 60 seconds have passed. I didn't know that some people's computers were so quick.... I wish I had a fast computer (or, come to think of it, one that works). I'll change the post time limit, but I can't do anything about the "new posts" icon.
I'll inform you guys of my new moderator decision by next week, if I'm on. In 1.5 months at the latest, and if you don't hear from me after that, go and attack godiswatchingyou2007.
So only one of us is going to be a mod...bummer..I have been in contact with doma via email she says shes way to busy with school that she only has time to write emails here and there but nothing else send her an email at domitupsyk@yahoo.com
well since i did tell Cali-bunny i wanted to be one ever since the site first started and if im not mistaken that topic is still in the help section I'm pretty sure that i have wanted it for a while but thats up Cali who gets the job.
B_O: I don't think anybody's desperate, but you are definitely qualified x 10bazillion. You're the most active, and certainly one of the most respected members of this forum.
As for me, I've had a blast here since I joined and would love to help out, if I can.

Okay, so Black_Oracle, loonaticfan, Skifox, Akira, and kari bunny are all in the running. I'm going to need another day or so to think on this.
Akira, if you become a moderator, you're going to have to promise to give up the dream cakes. The newbies to this board have a right not to be...uh, changed by them.
And this goes for anyone vying for a mod spot: no attempting to force your pairing or fan beliefs on anyone. That applies to current moderators as well (which means no attacking people if they don't support Ace/Lexi, or if they aren't a Techie or a Revvie... ).
I raise my right hand up as though I'm making an oath.
I, Akira Cat, do solemnly swear that should I become a moderator, I will prohibit myself from serving out my Dream Cakes, that of which have apparently been a problem to many of our hononary members. And I do solemnly swear that I will not use my powers of moderation, should I recieve them, for purposes that might breach the rules upon this fan base.
Amen.
So I can safely say that no more Dream Cakes will be provided on the welcoming of new members who come here.

It hasn't seemed (to me, at least) like there's been any forcing or attacking around here since I joined up. Just a lot friendly rivalry, which is half the fun!
Y'know, Akira, part of me is gonna miss those Dream Cakes. I kinda enjoyed freaking out every time you offered them up to someone new. XD

I could still be an obssessed Techie as a mod right? Coz Tech is the very air that i breathe here! Without my love for Tech, i have no reason for being!
And i'm not entirely sure what Earth Master is trying to enforce with her signature message. Tho' i'm sure she means no harm with it.
