Who was the youngest staff member to join the team  and oldest?

Youngest to date was I dare say Scamite; being I think 16. Only served a few weeks.
I have heard of someone younger way back in the day but that was never confirmed.
Oldest volunteer, probably, Caihlem. Not sure of his age, but most surely the oldest.  5-7 years in service.
Although I am approaching that mark myself   

This is based on history so overall if anyone has an idea o.o.

The staff these days have no idea what staff were like a few years ago lol

Who is the longest active mods?

Again Caihlem above, as he was also a volunteer Admin here so not sure if he's classed as a "Moderator"

In current staff today, it would be Base, our lead volunteer.

You can check out the Forumotion Team topic to see when our current staff members joined the team: https://help.forumotion.com/t368-forumotion-team

Speaking in terms of the current team,

Jophy is currently the longest serving staff member on the team, having joined in 2009.
I joined the team back in 2011, making me the second longest serving.

1. What do you guys do in free time (not on forums)?

I do the following things in my spare time, other than foruming:  Dungeons & Dragons Tabletop Game, Video Games, Anime, Reading, Writing Poetry, Singing, and visiting with friends!

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

Regards,
Pizza Boi

My favorite type of pizza is mushroom & black olive pizza and my favorite cheese is sharp cheddar!

Rhino.Freak wrote:Okay so   
How did you guys (all staff), found about forums ? which was your first forum ? and can you name any 5 members who are your best friends / you respect them a lot?

I found out about forums through a friend, who introduced me to a forum centered on a video game fandom of mine when I was in school!  My first forum was "Xenolegacy," which was centered on the Xenosaga video game series...unfortunately, that forum no longer exists and has now been replaced by Xeno Underground--which is still a good forum!

Five members that are my best friends are: (do staff members count?)
Derri
DemonWreckage
Ange Tuteur
BlackScorpion
DustyBones

Hagoromo Otsutsuki wrote:Is being on the staff team fun??

It most certainly can be!  However, I believe that it can be just as fun to be a member.  =)  What matters is that we all post together as a community with respect, honesty, and open-mindedness.  I do enjoy being able to help others on this forum, but I don't really need the status to do that, nor does anyone else--and that's simply the best part of being on this support forum.

Does forumotion admins work in an office like proboards admins do?

Only ButterCup, our ProAdmin does. All other staff here are volunteers and there volunteer at home.

It's a very large complex they are situated in as well   

And The GodFather.

Don't you guys think the Hitskin section is dead?

JazeonX wrote:Don't you guys think the Hitskin section is dead?

It's quiet, but by no means dead. It's always open and there for anyone who has problems regarding HitSkin.

how many times have yall banned someone?

Yuri31 wrote:how many times have yall banned someone?

Not counting spammers I haven't banned any member. Obviously I could never tell you who but yeah...I've personally never banned anyone or even issued a warning

What is the most weird post that someone has ever done here on forum support?

Yuri31 wrote:how many times have yall banned someone?

Way too many to count. My ban hammer has struck many victims.   

The Wicked Angel wrote:What is the most weird post that someone has ever done here on forum support?

I haven't seen anything much weirder than spam, really.

Most of my bans have been spambots.  They have been the weirdest posts I have seen so far.

Okay! i'll get to it!

Hi

Hmm... can anyone of the staff tell me what's Forumotion's main icon called? It's really a hassle to search in google renders if you don't know what it is (The one in the avatars I made was pretty much just a shape tool).

Also, what did you guys do this Easter?

Was it Fabe?

A mixture of ForumActif and Editboard (what this place was called before Forumotion)

It's not Fabe, although very similar, and has been the only logo used by the company and yes, he's been around since EB days.

Editboard & ForumActif are 2 different business plans, although they are similar, they have some differences. EG: EB was a global plan, now days were not a 1 plan for all languages.

Well a topic started by TGF and then suggested by Caihlem said it was Fabe and then through my digging he's been referenced as Fabe. But I can't actually find anything other than Fabe.

Hi

Well, I actually tried using google search and all I got was a mask of star wars villain, Yu-gi-oh! stuff, a pretty lady, etc. lol.

So is 'Fabe' not searchable in Google?

Excuse me, I have to go attack Caihlem now on facebook for lieing to me   

Fabe it is then, as I was told it was Abe. 

Fabe would be search-able however due to the lack of parameters the result would be irreverent to what you were looking for, would likely bring up some guy called fabe on facebook or google +

Hi

Well, this came up in the search:



Thanks for answering, guys.
