[QUOTE=CarnalK] Not to play junior mod but I think this belongs in the Pit. **ATMB:** For technical questions and concerns about the SDMB. **BBQ Pit:** This is the place for […] discussion regarding administration of the SDMB. I’ll go ahead and report the post so a Mod can move it for you. [/QUOTE] Stop it, you’re killing me here! Are you going to change your name to CarnalQ? 😛 ---

[QUOTE=carnivorousplant] So how did you get to be a moderator, Marley23? [/QUOTE] I applied - and I’m guessing there was a bunch of other stuff going on, because I think I sent my application some time in 2006. They got back to me in March and asked if I was still interested. I said I was and they accepted me, so here we are. ---
