How do u become an admin member?
 
Just want to ask all admin member's how did u guys become admin?? did u have to pay?? or just be here for a really long time? also how many posts do i have to do to get my first star???? ;)

If ya want a star, you gotta get 100 posts, i think! U become a admin when you make the site or you win a comp for bieng moderator, and if ya a good member!

P.S. GO TO ODDCHAT!

The administrators are the creators of the board. Moderators such as myself are privy to preferential treatment as long as we give the admins their weekly kickback. They prefer receiving their money in a non discreet suitcase as opposed to the "bag with a dollar sign on it." ;)

You don't may spam too
You can try to kill a moderator so the place is empty and you can go in his/her place...

Actually I do prefer Pilot's explanation as opposed to my upcoming serious one. *Goes to discreet place to pick up suitcase containing money*

Admins, as Pilot and Abe333 mentioned are the ones that run the forums. That's myself and Sydney.

Moderators are appointed by us. They are people who we choose because we think that they will do a good job for a particular forum. Often they are just offered a position. Although for the Spoiler Moderator position we took applications, and chose Pilot as the most appropriate person for the job. Moderator positions are not very frequent, and aren't something to be asked for.

You get your first star at 25 posts.

A lot of conversation going on here would be better suited to a chat room.

Surfacing: Abe Babe said you shouldn't ask to become a moderator/administrator. She said nothing about asking how one becomes one. Now stop trying to increase your post-count and contribute something nice to the forums.
