Mods
How do you become a Mod? I bop you with the checkered Moderator stick and *poof* you are one!
But Seriously... I watch what people post, and how they behave on the forum and in the chat room. People who impress me as being responsible, level headed, and community minded, go into a little list that I keep in the back of my mind. If the time comes when I need a new mod, I tap that list and send out an e-mail asking if the person is interested.
Simple as that.
So make a good impression and you might hear from me some day.
