How do you become an Admin?

[MoPHo]

Do you have to know someone who's an Admin and they can recommend you or is it some underground society where you get some emblem burned into your upper thigh?

And do they get paid?

You have to be kidding me.... get paid!?!?!

Because they were thinking "wow, it'd probably be fun" when someone asked.
Little do they know...

The Elite Members are the key; they're actually part of a small committee of super-users within their respective sub-forum that helps decide the direction of it, including what kind of people would make good administrators/moderators. Your best bet is to try to impress the Elites; be courteous, praise them, helpful towards others, and do favors for the Elites, and you'd be well on your way to being an admin.
