Apologies, I worded it wrong. Did you know your weight is significantly decreased under water due to your body being mostly water? Crazy.

I heard a guy help his breath for 17 minutes under water. Really scary.

Yes I did know something like that. It is crazy .

I don't believe Mr. Mario was ever an Admin here, I believe he only ever got to Manager before leaving the team. He was around back when Sanket was around, I believe Sanket was promoted to admin while Mr. Mario was a manager and he was still an admin when he left .

Do you miss him? I don't much about him, heard he was cool.

by **SLGray** January 12th 2016, 6:45 am

I joined the staff when MrMario was here. I do miss talking with him.

by Take Notes January 12th 2016, 12:55 pm

I know Mario was an admin, just post got messed up, I gave link to third page lol

What do you staff eat for breakfast?

by **brandon_g** January 12th 2016, 1:26 pm

Anything easy!

Was he now? Does that mean the support forum at 1 point had 4 admins? I reeber when I was here in 2012, he was still a Manager (Or Global Moderator) as it was called back then, I remmeber Sanket also was the General Admin too, this was in 2012 right before I left the web for awhile. I do remmeber you @SLGray , you were a Support Moderator and were under the username slg. You were the one 'original' staff, besides Base, who was here when I left.

Will the old group colors come back?(Manager: Green, Support Mod: Purple)

by **brandon_g** January 16th 2016, 7:23 pm

No, with the new theme, thsse are the colors because they match with the theme. The old colors were so because theh matched the old support forum theme. The old colors will not be coming back and the current colors are here to stay Wink

. Atleast on the english support forum anyway.

Why aren't most of the staff here paid?

by **SLGray** January 21st 2016, 3:22 am

Kratos wrote:Why aren't most of the staff here paid?

We volunteer our services to the members.

by **brandon_g** January 21st 2016, 3:26 am

Kratos wrote:Why aren't most of the staff here paid?

We are volunteers, volunteers don't get paid. We do it out of the kindness of our heart and a strong will to help the good users of Forumotion.

You can look at it as we are members will powers on the support forum, thats it. We have never seen the fm main office, never (atleast me anyway) been to France and we don't work (atleast not in the normal use of the word) for FM. We all work from our homes and have lives outside of FM Smile

@Brandon_g, why didn't you try out for Forum Reviewer?

by **brandon_g** January 22nd 2016, 8:15 pm

I didn't try out because I got offered the Support Moderator job/position before I could consider. Plus I work alot outside of FM and really don't have time to write reviews much Sad

I'm paid in coffee. Cool

Haha, honestly I do what I do more as a hobby. I like helping out with technical issues, and of course developing things for people. I could care less about payment, but getting something in return is always a nice perk, even if it's just a "thank you." Wink

I was not here when the support forum was created. I first found Forumotion when I joined a forum about Zoo Tycoon. Then I created my own forum and joined the support forum.

Can there be more then one Pro-Admin? Because the French support forum has 4.

by Nemo January 23rd 2016, 2:16 pm

Hello,

There is usually one Pro Admin in charge of a support forum. However, if there are many needs, more pro staff can help.

Hello

If you could change one thing in the world, what would you change?

The reason they also have 4 is because the Forumotion head office is located in France, so naturally most of the French Support Forum has the most paid forumotion staff on it then any other supprot forum. Even the techs are on there almost daily during the week unlike here where it is once and awhile. I like to think the English Support forum here has the 2nd most resources as far as pro staff go in aiding our users, followed by, I believe the Arabic Support forum which also has a pro admin Very Happy

Do you think you will ever change your usernames? @Staff

by **SLGray** January 23rd 2016, 8:48 pm

I have already changed mine: slg tp SLGray.

Will the english support forum ever change there theme to be like the Italian Support Forum?

by **brandon_g** January 23rd 2016, 10:33 pm

Nope I don't think I will change my username.

@Kratos we will not be changing themes again for a LONG LONG time, we just got a new one, a great one at that and we will not changing it.

I thought all support forums were suppose to be similar in design and appearance.
