To all staff:Wats the most stressful part about being mod of a compny like this? Have you ever regretted being mod? If you could, would you go back as a member?



1) People asking to be staff
2 + 3 = no


Well, I have two main stresses about being a mod.

For one, as Wrighty said, people asking to be staff. I get asked at least three times daily either "What are my chances of being staff?" or "Would you recommend me as staff?" {Unsure}

Tied for first with that is knowing what to do in certain situations. This is a support forum that sets an example for an entire service, and even the slightest mistake could negatively impact how all of vForums is viewed.

As for 2 & 3, not really. Would I still be active today had I never been promoted? Most likely, yes. Would I be as active? Probably not, but I would still be on every day. {Smile}

To all staff:Does anyone outside the computer such as friends, family, ETC, know your a VF mod? do they care? do you ever have a stranger run up to you and say "aren't you blank, VF mod?" (it may be 2 early for that)


The only person that knows for me is my girlfriend, as i occasionally have to call her back, or quickly nab her laptop when i'm with her to check on things.

To Any Staff: What is your favorite TV show?
To anyone that knows the answer: Why was it decided to name this place Virtual Forums? Why not something else?


My favourite show changes, but it's mainly comedies like Family Guy, Scrubs, Teachers, Spaced, Green Wing, Red Dwarf etc.

As for the name, it was Ross that thought of it so only he can give the definitive answer {Tongue Out}

I think it's keeping a close eye on everything that goes on. We're fortunate that there's a strong mod team here and pretty much everything is discussed before a decision is made. As Marc said, it's the "spur of the moment" decision that are the hardest, and normally we poke each other via text or MSN etc to consult each other.

I've not once so far regretted being a mod - it's a wonderful opportunity to be a staff member at a fast growing forum service and while there are times you wish you could cut the reins and go nuts, we still manage to have fun and enjoy ourselves while getting the job done in a professional way.

Now obsession rules my mind
This commotion makes me blind
Searching out who ever runs
Or has stolen away my life

But i've already said

Don't ever back down
Don't ever turn around
My end has come
So now I come for you....

When everything has been rewritten so there's no pages which look a complete mess {Tongue Out}

I think giving that choice to individual admins is best. I know that a couple of formats don't get used much though so I'll either try to come up with some layouts which better incorporate them or scrap them altogether.

This question goes to Ross:Will you ever hire more Admins?

At some point in the future it may be necessary to have other people deal with either support, development or general administration duties. It won't necessarily be an existing member though depending on the requirements at the time.

As I said, it doesn't matter to me. {Tongue Out}

If I was ever asked if I wanted another colour I'd choose it, but otherwise whatever I have is fine. {Wink}

We should be allowed to choose our own colours for each of us.
