<h2>Short Answer</h2>
1) Have you ever moderated a forum before?
1.a) If so, which one (please provide link), for how long, and are you still there presently? DaBlackGoku's Dragonball Z Collection!! -- I was a moderator during one of its incarnations.

I've also admined a forum (link is nsfeoff so I really need not post it (at least I'd prefer not to in public -- there's lots of bad words) ), so I have an idea of the inner workings of forums. Though really, I expect as a newbie Knight I'd just be expected to moderate posts.

2) What are your reasons for wanting to join the EoFF Forums Staff? I've been a member of this forum for longer than any other forum I've ever joined, whether out of attrition (they died out) or sheer luck (I haven't been permabanned yet). I'm not saying that seniority automatically conveys the title of moderator but I hope that my 'tenure' here illustrates that I can be trusted with power and I won't say, permaban half the population in a drunken outrage.

Seriously, if needed I believe most people would agree I can behave myself. Slapping the title of Cid's Knight on me will only augment that maturity (see what it did to Psychotic?)

3) If you were asked to participate in a Staff Orgy, how far would you be willing to go? I wouldn't be very comfortable being a catcher, if that's what you mean. But I'm pretty open minded to new and random acts of sexuality.

<h2>Long Answer</h2>
1) Imagine the users of LOCP decided to invade the forum, registering many accounts and spamming it up. What would your actions be in this situation? First despite having the power to do so (Cid's Knights are the equvalent of administrators as I understand), I would advise one of the actual administrators of what is going on so we can temporarily shut down new user registrations.

Meanwhile (I can do two things at once y'know) posts will be closed in short order, and any offensive pictures and what-not will be edited out.

2) Describe the perfect way to catch Raistlin slipping up so he can be banned.

Now that I think about it, why can't we just ban him by framing him?

I will first change Raistlin's password then log in as him. Then all I have to do is post a picture of a snow pen0r. Problem solved.

3) Detail what you would do to promote the forum in other venues.

You mean other than an aggressive spamming campaign? Or name dropping? I would recommend posting a lot (intelligently) in other forums' FF forums while having EoFF pictures and links in my sig.

Also if you ask me to, I will go to libraries, colleges, etc, and change their homepage to forums.eyesonff.com. Hey, it will increase hits.

4) Detail what you would to heighten the enjoyment of the forum for existing members.

*reads other entries and sees they aren't too too serious*

To be honest I figure that since I can't sexor newbies any more and I would have to enforce EoFF policies I think less pgism and pgnese in the forum would be a benefit for everybody.

I'm not saying that I need to be a cid's knight to behave better, but really, I'm peegee. Give me power and I suddenly behave. Leave me to do whatever I will, and I'll behave (albeit in a pg way).

Seriously though, I find that EoEo threads tend to fly around all over the place. Since I practically live there, I can essentially moderate that so that topics stay in place.

5) Tell why or why not you would be willing to work with the Front Site Staff in bettering the Front Site ( eyesonff.com ).

I've actually done this before. I've contributed a bunch of things for Final Fantasy 8 (I actually forgot how much; ask Strider or Roo) before, so if you need help on that, I can play the game again and figure things out

Anything else, I do have html skills and since the layout is already defined unless you mean 'hey pg wanna redesign the frontpage?', I think we're good to go for me making site updates, content upgrades, etc etc.

*thumbs up*

<h2>Subjective Section</h2>
What makes you so special?

Hahaha....well I am PG

Seriously though, I think the points that work in my favor is that I'm a long standing member of the forum. I've watched a lot of the kids grow up, and I'm in good standings with most people (and those people who don't get along with me, we don't get into idiotic flame wars that ruin the forum for everybody else).

I may advocate a permissive, liberal (or at least non judgemental) view on life, but I understand that EoFF is a private network with its own rules. So I will enforce your rules with a brutal fist, yet be permissive that I won't be a nazi with the rules either.

Also I like pie. I mean, c'mon. <3
