Hey guys,
Sorry for the absence, its been really busy around here.
To answer a few questions:
It's tough to say when the beta will officially begin. Originally I was thinking October 15th, I'll stick to that date for now but more likely itll be closer to the 20th. I'm swamped with school work right now (college doesn't leave much room for anything else) so I'll play it by ear. I'm thinking about launching into beta with a few less features than originally planned and just adding them throughout the beta, that way I can at least have people on the site giving feedback and testing things out.
As for those wishing to help out as moderators, I think this will be a better plan...
Could those seeking to assist as a mod please PM me? It'll make things much easier for me since I'll have you all right in my inbox instead of having to hunt and peck through the thread. The mods will carry the authority on the site. It's very similar to moderating a forum, although I will admit, it's a little more complicated for certain things. For example, disputes over item trades, fair play/cheaters, errors cropping up and all sorts of additional issues will have to be dealt with.
I request that anyone wanting to be interviewed for a moderator position be at least 15/16 years of age. You don't HAVE to be, theres certainly no "cut off", but I don't want to be interviewing people that can barely string a sentence together, hehe. Basically, I'm looking for maturity, intelligence,and individuals that can handle a position of authority and keep their emotions in check.
thanks
