How does one become a Mod?

[BowDown]

I was wondering this. I run my own forums (link below), and mainly because of lack of traffic I don't get many hits. I see that being a Mod here isn't a paying job, just a very powerful job, and I was wondering what "test" you had to pass to become a Mod?

LMK... thanks!

I think the "becoming a mod" ritual involves goat sacrifice and waxing Anand's car twice a day.

BowDown,
nobody becomes a mod

I've heard a blank check to an offshore account will do the trick

I don't get it Paulsonator

Is that a new one Blake? I must be getting old (or just be too confused to think straight). Crummy day at work

 

[snow patrol]

I don't get it either, unless you're referring to removing the 'L' from clock or something? :Q

 

[IBhacknU]

Thanks Snow...

I thought it was me

Sorry Bowdown, but you can`t become a mod. You are born a mod.

 

[Poontos]

Actually,

It's just like the X-Files, &quot;the truth is out there&quot;...

You`ll hear rumours, but no solid evidence.

how bout a born again MOD?

 

[Duckers]

Don't you guys think the mods should get paid?
Don't I wish?

And if they got paid, how much $/hour should they receive?
Am I hearing the sound of a voluntary contributor?

And where's the money gonna come from?

 

[Duckers]

Anand I guess.

 

[BowDown]

Ah well, worth a shot.

Mods are first obducted by Aliens, then a transformation of some sort takes place. :Q

 

[Duckers]

lol
something is wrong here :Q

I hope you're not referring to probing :disgust:

 

[compuwiz1]

Yep, anal probing! :Q
