Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.

That automatically disqualifies you from becoming a moderator as every single candidate has to successfully pass a breathalyzer-test. Sorry, shiznatix.
All I can say is I'm honored to be mentioned in the same breath as the others with whom I was.
Well I guess that's not all I can say:
this community is absolutely outstanding and everyone in here who participates makes it what it is. As others have mentioned in this thread, it is very well managed by the people who've stepped up to the task and for them all I am grateful. There are a thousand other names who need mentioning some of whom have sort of dropped off the radar as of late, but none-the-less I think it extends significantly beyond those of us who were named.
yes very much agreed, (of course you already know that since my first post ) but there were a few who i did not mention that i regret on not mentioning, if you are wondering "maybe it was me" then yes you, are very much appreciated on these forums and should give youself a good ol pat on the back, thanks for being a super help!
There are many qualities we look for in aspiring moderators.
Programming knowledge and experience are good but not essential. The main thing is to be a good moderator first, good programmer second.
Good moderators will religously read every post each day. Cough. They will be gentlemen/women - at the very least house-trained. Usually they don't have a criminal record although there may be charges pending. They don't abuse alcohol but some - like Japanese whalers - are engaged in serious, scientific research. Wisdom, judgement, understanding: all these are required but to finally be accepted applicants must undergo a gruelling induction course where they are abandoned in a remote area of Canada without a map and have to live off the land for two months. Grizzlies permitting.
We do regularly offer positions on the team: it's just that those bears are awfully hungry.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! that seriously just made me laugh for quite some time! i know i fail in the "abusing alcohol part" and the "crossing the line part" here so i guess ill just have to live in shame as i ask my questions and try to help others. i do hope i win the award for "most drunk php coder" thou once the voting begins! (ps. i hope i didnt start this insanity with the starting of this thread)
