Why should I be on the council?
Quite simply put, because I do my job like a boss 8)
I mean, it's only a small part of the forums, and to alot of members, it's a useless part of the forums, *gives the hairy eyeball to certain members*, but, to be honest, it's my baby.
Now, I'm not hugely involved in the forum in alot of other places, but I'm generally monitoring what's going on there. However, when it comes to the forum games, I'm always on ball. I'm up to date on what's going on in most games, checking for spam, player hating and the like. I start up new games the day I get the PM, and quite often, almost immediately after you, the submitter, have sent them to me.
Some people think the forum games aren't important, but for others, it's the whole reason they're on the forum.
I put up with alot of hassle for this section of the forum, and have absolutely 0 real power, and so, I think, with all humility, I can handle having a small fraction of power.
So ya. Also, I'm kind of 8)... Just sayin.
