We need another moderator for the open discussion forum.

Please let me know if you are interested. We need some one who is here every day, who doesn't get angry, who can police our most active board without taking things personally.

email webmaster@guitartricks.com if you are interested.


thanks,
jon

Me!

I come here nearly every day to get guitar tricks. Hardly ever post, though. Usually just lurk around. But it'd be different if I were a mod ;)

Zeppelin gets my vote. He's almost as susceptible to anger as any of us, but he's civilized about expressing it.

i'm hear usually everyday, i would like to do it as well

To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

Thanks for the great response. A LOT of members volunteered to help out.

I picked zeppelin and educatedfilm for this forum. I think they will do well.


This time last year, we had about 1000 members. Now we have 13000. Wow. I couldn't even guess why that happened. We need mods now way more than we did before.

Anyway, a lot of hosts were put in as moderators more or less against their will. I just needed more help than we had. So, I am going to send them a note asking if they mind stepping aside.

A lot of spots will open up. If you're interested in moderating one of the other forums, I'd like to hear from you.

Here are the guidelines to become a moderator
1. at the site generally every day.
2. has been a member for at least 6 months.
3. doesn't fight with other members, get angry, or use the word "sucks" or the word "lame".

If you are interested, send an email to webmaster@guitartricks.com. Be sure to include your username in the email, verify that you meet the guidelines, and tell me whether you would moderate any or only certain forums.

by the way, I almost banned bardsley before i figured out it was a joke. which was pretty funny, really. ironic.

I broke my arm and moved to a new apt, sorry it took so long to get this done. slow typing and no dsl.


thanks again,
jon

Understandable. Carple Tunnel and dial up wreak havoc with my internet life. Hope you don't accidently try to use your arm too soon ('cause we all know how much that hurts).

Anyway, get well.

he he he, maybe I shouldn't quite take the joke so far....
lol, that would have been sort of funny if I had been banned, though perhaps not that funny. I really am a very nice boy Mr. Broderick, really truly...

Educatedfilm was picked? Oh my God . . .

Just kidding. He seems to be a good guy, even if I don't always agree with him. :)
