Just a quick question.

How did you guys get picked to become Mods / Admin at this forum?.

Any room for me?.

Be cool to hear the stories.

You have to have given a lot to the forum with good knowledge, be committed and oh....heard you got to be good looking too

**Jason09** · 05-26-2009, 08:12 PM

Yeah, carsey is right. Even at my young age, I got to be a tech by posting a lot of good/helpful advice.

**Coolfreak** · 05-26-2009, 08:28 PM

If you post good, legitimate and helpful advice for users looking for help you'll be noticed. Just stay active here and be a helpful person.

to whom are you dangerous ... we don't usually allow those types in but some have been known to bypass the screening ..

as the guys and gals said above .. it's a question of knowledge, attitude, posts, location of posts and the most important of all is that someone spots your abilities and contacts you!!! Offering your services doesn't count ..

**asidman** · 05-27-2009, 01:59 PM

A little mental instability can be to your benefit...

And bribes are accepted too, i can PM you my banking details if u want, no guarantees, or refunds...

**Done_Fishin** · 05-27-2009, 02:25 PM

**Done_Fishin** · 05-27-2009, 03:34 PM
