Topic: How do you become an admin?

Many members have dreams of their own, but my dream is to become an admin. How do you become an admin and how long does it take to become one?

You could rob a bank, steal millions and then perform a hostile takeover of Bad Dragon.

We chose our location carefully. I mean, why the hell else would you want to actually live in Phoenix during the summer?

The food is pretty amazing, particularly if you like Mexican, and Tex Mex.

Because edidaf answered your question already:

So now that there's nothing really left to answer in regards to the original question, I wish to also mention that I had some very tasty food in Phoenix not long ago. Chino Bandido: http://www.chinobandidochandler.com/ It's a fusion of Asian and Mexican, and it is fucking good. Highly recommended. Get the everything.

There is also Richardson's, which is by and far one of the greatest secrets Phoenix has in my opinion. Amazing new-mexican cuisine with plenty of unique differences to really add to it. There is also that little Bosnian place that looks shady as hell (and I'm convinced its a total front for some organized crime) but the food is spectacular and amazingly cheap.

1: I'm sorry, I forgot about edidaf answering my forum.
2: Their menu looks like it has some good food. I might go there one day, Char.

Ok, I have to ask, what is a "Hen Grenade"?

Guess what? I am in that 10% range. I will become an admin. Just wait and see.

Hmm, cause you made privileged in under two months, right?
Sure he's off to a bit of a slow start, but let's not discourage him from making a strong effort. unless you're trying reverse psychology, then it's all good

I'm just saying that declaring that you will become an admin before you even do anything on the site is a bit over the top.

My first month, I didn't do anything or even talked to anyone. I got priv 4 months after I joined and then it escalated from there

It's basically resumed in these points:

  • Get known in the community.

Earn a bit of (good) reputation, by one or most of:

    • Tagging a lot

Posting a lot
Being helpful to other users
Not being a nuisance

  • Get to know the administration

Wish and hope an upgrade

As you can see here I got my upgrade not too long ago.

Also, apologies for stepping in the grounds of backseating, sorry but I feel a bit of arrogance with your comment :/

post #237983

I remember back when I was an admin on another site, this guy was like you, said he would become an admin and so on.

For months, I strung him along, making him work his ass off to try and impress me. It was when I upgraded someone else did he go ballistic and went insane with rage. He spammed my email with 'WHY DID YOU UPGRADE HIM AND NOT ME, RAH RAH RAH'

I let him have his tantrum for a week until he decided to post child pornography on the site. I deleted the images, and quietly reported his shit to authorities.

He's probably getting fucked in the ass in jail now.

Life is funny.

For me, I'd never want to be a mod/admin. For all the privileges, there's a load more stress, and that's just not for me. Even at member level it's possible to support the site on a large scale, so I'm curious: Why do you want to be an admin?

Last summer, my thermostat read 126 degrees in the sun, and about 112 in the shade. Making the air conditioners part of public services was a thing of mercy.

Yikes! That's pretty much inhumane. On the plus side, you could cook anything on the street without needing to use your stove. (Not that I'd recommend it except for the novelty of it all.)

There are dozens of pictures of people baking cookies in their car while they go to work. I think one person even did bacon, but I'm skeptical on that.

If you had a cast iron skillet on the dash of the car getting hot in the sun, I could see it.
Right on the dash though, not likely.

This I could see working. Cast iron cookware is right up there with duct tape as one of mankind's greatest inventions.

Cookies on a car could also work, provided there are no opportunistic seagulls. Or opportunistic co-workers. (Same result, only with less bird poop).

Two weeks ago, we had a snowstorm in 28ºF weather.

It was 90º within two days.

last winter we had almost a solid month of -20F to -30F temperature, not including wind chill. I remember our first above freezing day after that, with people outside with only t-shirts on.

I'm in NC, last winter we went from 5F and 18 inches of snow (a ton in NC) to over 70F in under 24 hours.
The snow was melting so fast the roads were like rivers.

That must had to be an awesome view... leaving aside the part where stuff was in the road, of course.

Yeah we had about 5-6 feet of total snow as well here in MN. When it was all melting, our poor sump pump was running none stop for about a week, but back to that cold month, It was so cold, that my car's wheels contracted enough to loosen the lug-nuts. I almost completely lost a wheel that morning

Always check your nuts.

No one here in NC has sump pumps, too high on the water table to need one usually.
Lot of property damage from flooding, even though it was only 2 days of snow.

Vulpix only has 6 tails, Ninetails has 9.
So apparently up to 6 tails is ok, 9 or more is too many.
Who knows if 7 or 8 is too many or not.
