Title: Co-Admin Search!
aragornbird - May 13, 2009 03:42 AM (GMT)
So yeah, I've been so busy with everything for the past month or two. However, classes end next week and I graduate in three weeks. I shouldn't be too busy after that, but who knows? After graduation, I need to spend at least most of my time finding a full-time job. And when/if I do find a job, I don't know how busy I'll be.
Anyways, this topic is for anyone who would like to apply to be a co-administrator. It's a very high power position, but you must use it responsibly. Obviously, you must have been part of the forums for a long time and be constantly active.
More information on handling this position will be given to the person that I choose.
I am only hiring ONE person for this position.
If you would like to apply, please post a paragraph or two stating why you think you deserve this position. Note that an admin should be of reasonable intelligence so I AM checking for spelling/grammar.
I'll check back on this on May 16th.

Hello argornbird, nice to meet you! Well I guess i'll apply, who knows maybe the best person for the job is me.
I am on very often, I don't do much after school. I normally use very good grammer, most of the times I do silly typos. I am pretty responsible, I get very good grades in school ( I mispell good in my profile on purpose). I joined here about a few minutes after you hired moderators.
I actually think activebuttons ould be a good choice to.
Activebuttons - May 13, 2009 05:32 AM (GMT)
Sup. I'm glad you paid attention to my e-mail! :D
I actually think I would be good for the position.
I care a lot about this forum, and have been active since...June? I feel I can keep the kiddies in line. I don't get the best grades in school, but I do try my hardest to spell wonderfully online. I also know my way around an Administrator control panel. I can be very helpful when I need to be, and can explain things in quite a clear manner, if I do say so myself.
I can make new skins for the forum, accept smileys, and make new sub-forums for Platinum, and make a music forum and some other gaming forums that, although they would add to the forum, would not overshadow the Pokemon forums.
I am extremely active, and can currently moderate the forum from my iPod, Cell Phone, and computer. I would never desert this forum, I am bound here until the day I die.
I am finally of legal age to be on a forum, so, thinking the worst, I would be able to deal with COPPA and not be screwed by them just in case they decide to check the forum.
I can be a bit of a rebel sometimes, and maybe just a tad mean at times. I can have the tendency to swear (heh), but I can change all that if this means getting the fabulous job of Co-Admin.
I'm not trying to be a suck-up, and am trying to be as truthful as possible.
So, consider me? I am obsessed with Arkeis, and I actually had quite a silly dream a few nights ago that I was an administrator. :3
Thanks for reading my post!
P.S., thanks, Icydragon!
P.S.S., Seth Rogen's cool.

Aragornbird,
I think I would make a good admin because; I have had experience administrating a site and I have managed to get my head aroun scripting which, if you didnt know, is upgrading the forums with things that arent accecable via the admin cp. I have the capacity to be on very regularly aswell. As of tommorow I will be fifteen, currently in year 9 at school. Residing in Melbourne, Australia. I am smart in areas of science and some aspects of English. I am also good at graphics which would help the site. Even if I dont get selected I believe that a graphics team should be set up to help gussy up the site and its features. I am easy to contact and talk to. I believe I dont spam the forums and my posts always have a point. I know my age might put you off but another site creator put his faith in me and I ended up kinda doing more than him and he left it to me... <_< I will take a lot of the weight and responsibilties onto my own shoulder, thats if you would like that^_^. Also my name...I would change if you wanted me too:lol:. I currently love arkeis mainly because its a great place to get feedback on sprites. I would like to bring more GIMP and Photoshop users to the site aswell. I would make all the new forums and sub-forums that you think the site should have. Also I can show you the site that I helped administrate. I would also love to make some new graphics for the site such as smilies, CSS skins, staff underbars(I can provide an example) and many other things.

AragornBird, while I am intelligent, fun-loving, have a weird sense of humour and would try my best to be an admin especially while I would be learning, I have to say ActiveButtons has the upper hand and is the most suitable candidate for this position (No, I am not copying off of Icydragon).
mew is no.1 - May 13, 2009 04:57 PM (GMT)
i would like to be Admin but I do like being a normal Mod so it won't mind me if i don't get it. I know how to run a Forums because I run my own. My most down fall is my age and spelling. I'm very active but I can't be on when my family come to stay but that is not very often.
PS I would put AB to be Admin if anyone
md427 - May 13, 2009 08:20 PM (GMT)
It's nice to see you back, Aragornbird! :)
I'd like to be a co-admin. ^^
Catrat33 - May 13, 2009 08:20 PM (GMT)
I would like to run for admin.
I am now 16 years old and I am capable of keeping a website in shape. Also, I am great in these areas: Language, Math, and Science. I have a lot of new ideas for this forums that could really help. I don't know if I've been at this website long enough, though. I really think that Mewi1 is really good for this job also, so I wouldn't mind if he got the job, thank you! :)

Be nice, CK.
We might also want to edit the Badge Ranks topic.
There are Moderator badges and the Admin badges that need to go in there.

Icydragon - May 14, 2009 01:57 AM (GMT)
Welcome AB, and I know you werent copying me Charizardkiller.
I guess when argornbird comes back he has quite a few options.
Sttefan - May 14, 2009 05:25 AM (GMT)
My vote goes to Mewi1. If you ask me she is best for the job. IF not her than EB or AB
mew is no.1 - May 14, 2009 06:32 AM (GMT)

Pii - May 14, 2009 02:38 PM (GMT)
uh hie aragornbird :D
I never talk with you I think xD (I not interested in co-adm just want to say hie :D) my grammar is bad XD so I think I will never be....
espeonbird - May 14, 2009 04:20 PM (GMT)
Lol, high intelligence :lol:
I would suggest making me Co-Admin because I truly care for this forum and have been here for over a year now. I have quite a strong experience with Forums for I own one myself aswell as my own Website too. Though I am young, I act alot older than my age (most people on this forum have probably noticed that) and I think i'd make a great Admin and I can actually get your name right,(He, no offence guys) its Aragornbird not AragornBird :)
EDIT: I don't see you alot around here so hi.
streakerdj - May 14, 2009 07:25 PM (GMT)
I know that I have not been here long but i am constantly active (except for the couple of weeks where my computer crashed) I am very responsible and I love this website. With this great responsibility I would keep the site safe and to watch over it. I am 14 and am reliable and have been in the world longer and understand the great opportunity that has been put out and that i must use it responsibly. All in all i would make a great candidate and hope you pick me. I also wish the other contestants the best of luck.
EDIT: I spell his name right as well
md427 - May 14, 2009 08:55 PM (GMT)
kk, here's my little "speech" thing.
Aragornbird, I would really love to be a co-admin or a mod, for these reasons:
First, I am constantly active. I am on Arkeis Forums almost everyday, whenever I get the chance to get on a computer with internet. The longest I have not been on Arkeis Forums is one day, three once it's May 27, because I am going to camp for three days.
Second, I am (what I think) a pretty good spriter, and I have lots of connections with YouTube. I could probably get a lot of more members to join from YouTube just by asking.
This is why I think that I should be a co-admin or a mod. I hope you consider me to be a candidate.
Edit: I spell Aragornbird's name right!
streakerdj - May 15, 2009 01:05 AM (GMT)
If I don't become the co-admin i would also like to be a mod if it's not too much to ask
US Commando - May 15, 2009 01:49 AM (GMT)
I will now present my speech.
I would love to become the new co-admin, and help keep Arkeis alive to the end of its life. I have much experience with admin, I have also used the Invisionfree forum system before and know my way around the Admin Control Panel and how to use it properly, and efficiently. I have pretty good spriting skills, which I put to good use making sprites for people on another forum. I have the good grammar any person should have, and can communicate well. I joined this forum last spring, and even though I stopped coming here for the longest time, I returned and quickly rejoined the community here. I recognize the fact I have not been the most active person in the world lately, but that was because of tests in school, but as of now I can visit Arkeis daily now. I will not feel bad if you do not pick me to become the new co-admin. I would even settle being a moderator as I have plenty of experience being a moderator. I would love to do anything that will help Arkeis to thrive on for many years to come, Arkeis is filled with amazing people, I wish to help the forums continue on, and on so I will respect any decision you will make on this matter, as it is all up to you who you will choose, thank you for your time in reading this.

^ you certainly convinced me. O_o

Oooh, the competition is heating up! I like it. There's plenty of suck-ups. This is entertaining! ;D

I have knack for writing like that. =p
Shaymin - May 15, 2009 10:33 AM (GMT)
Still the 15th :)
I think I should be "Co-Admin" because I deserve it :)
(I did suggest this new admin thingy
here didn't I?)
Anyways, I have been on this forum for quite a long time.... though I did leave for a while during the 'No-Mod-Season', I was here since 2007 and I am active at times. I don't spam (at least I think I don't :P) and I have a reasonable amount of experience when it comes to forums and how they work.
I could contribute some worth-while ideas and mostly moderate the forums, cleaning it of spam.
I hope Aragornbird you pick a good person (so many good candidates!).... I think you should make a poll as too WHO will become Co-Admin :P
Co-Admin means the same amount of power as you right :)?
(Pick me!)

I didn't copy off of him, I truly am a constantly active member.
Catrat33 - May 15, 2009 08:02 PM (GMT)
I have a question. Why are all these people saying that they have good spriting skills when it doesn't matter whether they have them or not?
streakerdj - May 15, 2009 08:06 PM (GMT)
Eb I said before my computer crashed
espeonbird - May 15, 2009 08:54 PM (GMT)
SDJ: WTF are you on about?
MD: Lol, its funny you would put the same thing though :lol:
Activebuttons - May 15, 2009 10:59 PM (GMT)
Yup, I guess spriting skills don't really matter in any way I can think of, except for, y'know, helping people out with their sprites. An Admin must be reliable, trustworthy, and intelligent. Nobody wants Arkeis to look ugly.
md427 - May 15, 2009 11:55 PM (GMT)
exactly, so we need pretty sprites! XD
Activebuttons - May 16, 2009 12:12 AM (GMT)
There are some forums that truly fail. Ugly, generic skins, grammar mistakes, and too many sub-forums litter the forum home. I don't want us that be that.

Aren't you people, getting a bit off-topic? This is for Co-Admin search.
