Hi

Hmm... given the chance you were to make a blog, (Among the staff - Using SOSBlogs), what would be its focus AND name?

I actually wanted to create a blog for doing video game reviews and did actually create one. However I ended up scraping the project all together.

so.. Tell us a bit about yourself Base? When, how and why did you join forumotion?

Well, I'm a forum enthusiast you could say. I found and joined Forumotion back 2008 (just over 5 years ago) because I really wanted to see what it was like to run a forum. I joined the team back in 2011.

And yet You or Jophy haven't been promoted to Administrator, everyone know that there is a vacant spot for it and both you guys deserve it regardless of whether or not you want it or not.

Agreed!

Question to all staff
Why the chatbox not getting upgrade...

We don't make the updates, the technicians and management of forumotion do and we don't play any role in what is implemented.

Quick question:

A lot of posts by staff are just to tell people not to use colours/bold etc and not to double post. Why not just remove our ability to do those things?

Double posting is allowed and useful in some cases such as updating threads, bumping up threads (when the time is allowed or when updating it with a valid update) and colour can be used in some cases such as forum presentations area and when requesting reviews and graphics.

Haha, well you know the reason why I refused to be an admin of this forum yet. I think they're keeping the balance between the groups.

I usually play basketball or study my coding.

Hi

Who among the staff here actually studied coding as a 'course' in college or any higher form since it's quite common to study them during high school o.o?

I studied computing and information systems during high school so I did learn a fair bit of coding. However I changed plans on what I wanted to do after I left so its now irrelevant. The reason I never post coding here is because I don't really want to spend a lot of time learning how forumotion forums work in order to use my coding skills.

Yeah I can see that, I just hope they don't intend to bring someone else from outside of the staff to become Admin. That would be a real be a kick in the rear to the remaining Staff members.

It's definitely rewarding but also challenging. I enjoy helping people out and ensuring that the forum is running smoothly.

Nope,

The heads are horrible to us, our launch breaks are crap, the food in the canteen is just awful, the hours and terrible and they monitor our bathroom break time.

Only joking

Its actually quite fun and rewarding.

I study coding, write scripts for practice, and relax by playing games..unless the game starts beating me.

@Pizza Boi wrote:Among the staff, what is your favorite type of pizza and cheese (If you have one - No sarcasm intended)?

Q : What is the most common cheese used for pizza ? A : Mozzarella

For me the sauce would have to have a nice tangy flavor with a bit of a kick. Bland boring sauces make me want to fall asleep on my pizza.
