Open casting call: Forum Guides

[CheapyD]

I've decided to give something new a try: forum specific mods or, as I am calling them, Forum Guides.

Forum Guides job will be able to move/lock/edit posts and threads to keep their respective forums organized. The will also try to help out CAGs who are in their forums.

If you are interested in a Forum Guide position, please post in this thread with the forum(s) you are interested in serving.

Thanks!

[evilmax17]

I'd be interested in being a guide in any/all:
-Video Game Deals
-Deal Discussion
-Nintendo
-General Gaming
-Request a deal
-CAG Feedback (even necessary?)

These are the forums that I frequent most, and I usually have my eye on them pretty consistantly throughout the day.

[moiety]

I am always viewing:
DVD Deals
Deal/Shopping Discussions

To a lesser extent:
Other Deals/Requests
DS/GBA
Wii
Cag Lifestyle and Off-Topic

I am browsing throughout the day, and would love to help out in any way I can. Thanks for this opportunity!

[Strell]

Sure, why not. This is just another excuse for me to do less work while at work, so I'd be happy to help out a little. Not being a full-fledged mod sounds like a simpler task than the great Shrike Shamans of Old. (Bwa ha ha! Old! Yageddit???)

So I'd be happy to look over (as should be expected) the Nintendo Forums, specifically the Wii forums.

Seems like a good place to ask: Could I start up some sort of repeating blog-type post over there simply concerning Nintendo? I'd like to think it would be enjoyable.

[shrike4242]

Fantastic idea, Cheapy. It should help out a great deal with spreading out the workload.

[willardhaven]

I'd be up for the PS2 section if nobody else is intersted.

[xmrblondex]

I'm a long time member of the trading forum, and I'd be interested in helping out there if needed.

[lordwow]

I'd be interested if you need help, as I get to spend a lot of time on CAG at work.

The forums I'm mostly on are:
- 360 and original XBox (Mostly regarding XBLA and the Game Nights)
- The CAGCast (do we even need more people for that?)
- PC Games (which is pretty quiet, but is starting to ramp up again thanks to SC)
- Off-Topic (but I think there are people who are more suited for that area than I)
- DVD Deals (as I spend a lot of time on DVDTalk as well, as DVDs were my love between systems)
- Wii

[Cornfedwb]

Fantastic idea, Cheapy. It should help out a great deal with spreading out the workload.

Assuming the overall number of mods is increased.. I'd say it sounds like a good idea. Just worrisome that we could end up with 3 trading forum mods online and noone else.

[Ugamer_X]

The PS3 forum always seems so sparsely moderated so I'd like to help there if possible.

I'd be up for the Cag Halo 2 forum as well. It's not very active now, but in two months I'd imagine it could use some extra help.

And if there's still spots available, I would gladly volunteer for the video game deals forum since I'm usually on late at night when the spam hits and no one is on to take care of it.

[Mike23]

I'd be willing to help with the Lifestyle and Versus forums.

EDIT: Also, the Canada forum.

[dallow]

I would like to second Ugamer_X's bid for PS3 guide, and I would very much like to join him.

I've worked hard to keep the sparse PS3 fans informed with new info and threads. Helping out new users since launch day with any questions.
I really do think of myself as lover of all systems, but the industry "whipping boy" the PS3 has become is what prompted me to spend much of my time in that board.

Anyway, just hope to be considered. I'm sure most of the PS3 board regulars would say good things.
The PS3 board is starting to flourish now with a lot of new faces, it's going to get busy this year's end.

[Strell]

Dallow doesn't get to be a mod forum guide because I pwn him so bad in Smash Bros.

*flex*

In any case, I think the VGD forum and Trading Forum both need more than one guide, as those are the two most active areas on CAG.

In total number of mods, I think we should get 1-2 more in addition to backfilling my position. Again, IMO.

Just out of curiosity, but would you ever consider being a Trading Forum Guide as opposed to a Global Moderator? Does one position seem more appealing than the other?

Not trying to yank you out of a comfortable retirement of course, just asking. ;)

[botticus]

Are we looking at having more than one per forum?

I can't possibly spend MORE time on here, so what the hey, put me on the interested list for Wii/DS, General Gaming, Video Game Deals in order of desire.

Edit: I noticed Linkin was made moderator recently, congrats.

[gomer1andonly]

I'd be up for helping be a guide to the Microsoft gaming forums since I'm helping out organize the CAG Gaming nights (I'm already running the Thursday and Friday night threads).

[daroga]

I'd be up for the Nintendo forums if you need a hand. Heaven knows I'm on here enough throughout the day, I might as well help out a bit.

[Ikohn4ever]

I think i could handle your man in Japan forum, right now its just a clusterfook



edit

I guess Nintendo, LifeStyle, and VS if you need it

[LinkinPrime]

Thanks!

[Rocko]

I'd be interested in helping with Off-Topic/Lifestyle. Definitely my most frequented board.

[Calamityuponthee]

I'm pretty much on here half the day, why not.

I'd probably work best in the PS2, or PSP forum.

[RAMSTORIA]

shotgun ds! put me down as interested for any nintendo forum.

[zewone]

I'd take either Microsoft or OTT forum (the only two forums I frequent).

I'm on real late as well.

[whoknows]

I'd be interested in doing it for the Sony forums and General Gaming too since those are the boards I visit/post in a lot.

[magiic]

I dont know if it needs it but I wouldn't mind keeping the Canada Regional forum in line :)

[neocisco]

I'd be willing to help out in the trading forum. Shrike could even be my mentor.;) I've gained a lot from this forum so it shouldn't be a problem to give something back.

[DustBoogie]

I tend to frequent the Video Game Deals, Request a Video Game Deal, DVD Deals, Deal/Shopping Discussions & Bragging Rights, CAG Video Game Trading, and Game Auctions & Auction Discussions forums. I'd be up for taking up a position in one of those, though once this semester starts I'll be only mostly in the afternoon/evening or early morning. I don't know, maybe that makes me more useful :-P I wouldn't be good as a lone moderator for a single forum (unless it's a slow one) but I could certainly help another guide or two keep things under control in a forum that warrants having multiple guides.

[Mr. Beef]

I'm too much of a nub new to be a mod, but if possible, I'd be willing to help with the DS/GBA threads.

[Pookymeister]

Id be down for a trading mod

[CouRageouS]

I'd be interested in the Wii/DS forums. So I'll toss my name into the hat.

[io]

Edit: I noticed Linkin was made moderator recently, congrats.

Whoa, congrats indeed. Another stealth appointment like Shipwreck!

I'd like to be a trade in value guide (spend enough time updating the wiki anyway), but then there isn't a trade-in value forum. I guess it goes under Deal Discussion, perhaps? Though recently most of the trade-in deal discussion has just been in threads in the regular video game deals section. I spend most of my time in Video Game Deals (of course), all of the Nintendo forums, and the Xbox 360 forum. Another place I might be able to help out in is "Game Auctions & Auction Discussions". Though wubb kind of has that handled, I try to help him answer ebay newbie questions when I can ;).

But whatever... anywhere I might be needed let me know. The Wii forum would be the most fun, but there's a lot of competition there, and Botticus and/or Strell (along with some others) would be good choices.

Like Ugamer_x, I'm also a late-nighter so could help out wherever off-hour help is needed ;).

[judyjudyjudy]

Edit: I noticed Linkin was made moderator recently, congrats.Congrats, Linkin! Did you just become a mod today? If so, you're doing a bang-up job on your first day :)

On topic, the forum guides is a great idea. I like a lot of the folks already volunteering to be forum guides (especially for the Nintendo forums :D ), so I think CAG will have its bases covered.

[LinkinPrime]

Thanks, I started last night as a Microsoft Guide Mod...became Super Mod today http://www.freesmileys.org/emo/basic/super.gif

[MaskedPlague]

I would love to be a sherpa for the PS3 forums.

[mtxbass1]

I'd be interested in the main deals forum, ps3 forum, and 360 forum.

[Jedi1979]

If needed i can help with the Trading forum, game auctions, Video game deals, deal discussion and bragging rights. those are the ones i frequent the most

Since i am going to be staying home with my newborn i will have time and will usually always be up late

This is a nice idea and hopefully it works out well for the CAG community:applause:

[jalu6]

I'd like to help out in the PC Games and Gen Discussion forum. It's easily the forum I frequent the most, and I think that us PC guys need a bit more love around here :).

[mykevermin]

Edit: I noticed Linkin was made moderator recently, congrats.

Indeed.

I'll do whatever. PS3, Off Topic, and Vs Forums are where I spend my time primarily.

[lilboo]

Hey! I used to be the ORIGINAL Xbox Mod!! LOL

PC crashed back in the day, and lost me title :(

I'd LOVE to be reinstated as a mod. I'll take Wii or the DS/GBA please!?
(Or anywhere, really)

[joshingit]

I'd be interested in helping maintain the trading forum.

[Liquid 2]

Off-topic or PC board here, as that's where I spend most of my time.

[centracore]

I'd be interested in the PS3 and PSP sections. I know I don't post all that much but I spend an awful lot of time lurking...

[darthbudge]

I would be interested in Maintaining The PC forums, Free Stuff and Politics and Controversy Forums preferably in that order.

I check all of those boards at least every 2 hours and generally even more.

[Dark Slayer120]

I'd be interested in the General Gaming board and the PS3 board. Those two boards I spend 99% of my time in so I could really help out and "keep things neat" in there.

[AlohaMars2]

I'd be interested in helping with the XBox boards, the classic/old school gaming boards, and the Southeastern Region CAG board.

[FriskyTanuki]

I'd be up for helping out in the General Gaming, PS3, PS2, PSP, and Wii forums. No mods visit any of those forums, so it'd be nice to whip them into shape. ;)

[Moxio]

I'm interested in PC forum and/or Old School gaming.

[yukine]

Terrific idea, Cheapy.

[contej85]

I'd be interested in the video game deals forum, the Trading forum, or any of the system specific forums. In reality I linger in them all, so anything you needed watched over I'd be willing to take on for you.

[mikeohara]

I'm interested in the PC Games forum as well.

[Cao Cao]

Without a doubt, the board I frequent the most is the DS/GBA board. I also often keep an eye on the PS2 board, though it has been dying out recently.

EDIT: Might also be worth mentioning that I also frequent the General Gaming board, bringing my list to:
1. DS/GBA
2. General Gaming & Industry News
3. PS2

[twiztidjester]

I would be interested in
Deal/Shopping Discussions
Other Deals/Requests
DS/GBA
Wii
Cag Lifestyle and Off-Topic
Microsoft
VS
Regional/International Video Game Deals
PC

or any other form that would need help out the community.

[shieryda]

Cheapy,

Please consider me for the Chicago deals thread exclusively.:lol:

I'd also be willing to chip in for the Microsoft Xbox 360 forum.

Cheers!

[snowsquirrel]

I would be interested in helping on both the Canada and the PS3 forum. I work on a computer all day, so I check for gaming news and deals hourly (sshhh don't tell my employer, j/k). And I frequent those two forums regularily. I also pride myself in having a pretty objective view.

~S

[Kfoster1979]

I think I could help with Other Deals/Requests, seems I'm in there alot with HDTV stuff and I like that fourm. Also I have CAG up most of the day when I'm at work. :-$

You could always start a Deals forum for Electronics like DVD players, HDTV's etc etc.

[PyroGamer]

I spend so much time in the Xbox 360 forum, I'd take that.

Besides that, I spend way too much time in the General Gaming and Industry News Forum and the CAG Video Game Trading forum (though I'm sure my trader score is too low for that).


I would of course rule with an iron fist, whiping this forum into shape ;)

[CYRiX]

I would like to be a mod of contests/free stuff, xbox 360, Old School & Other Gaming Systems, or PC Games & PC General Discussion. I own a 360 and game on my PC so I would be well qualified.

Oh yeah I have been listening to the podcast since episode 1!

[sinewav]

If there's a way for CAG's to help our home team count me in!

I would be interested being a forum guide for the West subforum of Regional/Internationl Video Game Deals or the CAG News forum.

[Foo228]

Parts of Cag I frequent on are without a doubt the Video Game Trading (leave it to somebody with more experience though) and the Video Game Deals.

If the latter is still available, I'll gladly try and help unclutter the mess in there now with all the ymmv stuff and whatnot (one ymmv walmart thread?). Also, I plan on assisting newer people to where their thread should be instead of in the Video Game Deals asap.

Now that I think about it, I guess anything would work...

[terribledeli]

360 forum please.

[cheapfrag]

Looks like you have quite a few qualified candidates for the PC games forum, but if you want another, you can toss my name into the ring.

[hootie]

I'd be able to help out in the DS/GBA forum, I check that forum out at least 5 times a day.

[RAMSTORIA]

i noticed guinaevere was made a mod, she seems to have a better head on her shoulders than most, so that should work out well, congrats to her. if theres one thing the site can use its more mods.

[KingBroly]

If the position is open, I'm interested in the Wii board moderator position.

I have done a lot of things Virtual Console related through websites and contributions if you've heard my name around the Nintendo gaming community in terms of getting stuff out there. If I had to point anything out to justify anything, it would be that.

[LiK]

i check the gaming deals section the most. i notice spam occassionally, i'd like to help out there.

[bobthecat23]

cheapy hook me up with how to back up ur games / how to pirate games......jk
i would to do the deals forums if u dont mind thank you bye

[cdeener]

I would have to go with what I look at most:

Video Game Deals
Gaming & Industry News
DVD Deals
Deal Discussion
Auctions
Microsoft
Sony
Off Topic

[ryanbph]

If you need the help, I can do it. I would be interested in either

off topic
msft
dvd deals
gaming & general industry news

to be honest I lurk a lot, as I work in a small family business, so if you needed help in any of the boards I would be open to it.

[Quintessence]

I would be interested in any of the following to help out with:
-Xbox 360
-Wii
-DS/GBA
-General Gaming and Industry News
-Contests and Free Stuff

These are places I visit the most on the site so I figured that it would be the best place to help out. However, if you need someone to do something which nobody else wants, I will gladly help out with that.

[kdunn77]

I'd be willing to help out in the trading forum.

[H-Town Info]

Microsoft or the VG Deals Forum

[Jewelz23]

I've decided to give something new a try: forum specific mods or, as I am calling them, Forum Guides.

Forum Guides job will be able to move/lock/edit posts and threads to keep their respective forums organized. The will also try to help out CAGs who are in their forums.

If you are interested in a Forum Guide position, please post in this thread with the forum(s) you are interested in serving.

Thanks!
I'd be willing to moderate the PC Section if it is still up for grabs.

[bobomallone]

Hey Cheapy, put me down for PSP, dvd deals, xbox360, DS, in that order =)

[LarryGe]

I would be very interested in possibly working in these forums (in this order)

1) Referral Central (I've been involved with these referral sites for a pretty long time, and understand them. I've noticed a lot of useless congas, and general clutter)
2) Contests and Free stuff
3) CAGcast

[Dingleberry]

I'm always checking 360/DS/Wii

[Pookymeister]

I'm always checking 360/DS/Wii

and the periodic table ;)

[io]

and the periodic table ;)

Oh, damn, so THAT'S who that is!! I played Bomberman with him in a CAG match and had no idea he was a CAG (as there were some non-CAGs to fill the ranks I think). I asked in the Bomberman thread but no one confirmed it :lol: One mystery solved! Yipee! Now I see the XBL tag and it's obvious ;).

[Ugamer_X]

Look at me, all up late 'n stuff. :)

The only thing that concerns me about this idea is having too many guides. As a result, it could cause the modding to be a bit unbalanced. Not saying that it will happen, but it could.

[Rei no Otaku]

I guess I'll apply as well! I'll gladly take any of the gaming forums except for PC and Wii. I'm always here browsing one of them.

I also have a lot of moderator experience. I was assistant webmaster at my gaming site ( www.gamingaddicts.net ) for a long time. I did leave that position though, and am now just a moderator there. So I'm well aware of the duties the job entails.

[HarassmentPanda]

I wouldn't mind helping out in the "VS" and NE Regional forums. I'm in law school, so I have quite a bit of time to watch the forums during class. I also recently started up a new video game law site and have quite a bit of experience with forums (although mostly phpBB).

[twiztidjester]

In addition to the ones i posted before ill take any that need help

[Redeema]

Hey if you need help in the Referral subforums or Contest/Free stuff forums as well as the Trading Forums (though that looks to be covered) I could help out.

[Gothic Walrus]

I have a feeling I'm posting too late in the game to have a legitimate chance, but I'd be willing to help out if need be. I don't particularly care where that would be, either - as long as it's not Trading or Auctions, I'd probably do fine wherever. :)

[MillerTime2523]

I'd really love to give back to the CAG community..

I'll do the Xbox section, or even Video game reviews.

Anywhere you need someone to help out would be great. :)

[Foo228]

just noticed foladar made the cut - congrats

[KingBroly]

Without a running list, it's confusing to know what has happened.

[Jobbercho]

I'll volunteer the couple evening hours I spend on the site.

[Rocko]

just noticed foladar made the cut - congrats

I believe that happened close to when this thread was created, possibly even before. I noticed him on the CAG Team list when Linkin was still a Microsoft mod and not a Global mod.

[Renegade_Zero]

Well, if you'd take me, I'm usually on all day, mostly in other deals, 360, ds/gba, and off topic forums.

[Kaijufan]

I'm on the Wii forum pretty often, I would be willing to help out if needed.

[Foo228]

I believe that happened close to when this thread was created, possibly even before. I noticed him on the CAG Team list when Linkin was still a Microsoft mod and not a Global mod.

Hmm...well I don't know then

Congrats regardless, but does that mean the other FG picks are still to come?

[Scorch]

I could take on whatever forum if needbe.

[FFMooglestar]

I'd definitely be intersted in the Regional Forums, specifically West, but would be able to handle all of them if needed. Who better to be the Forum Guide for the Regional threads than the guy who came up with the idea! Only kidding about that, but I really would be interested.

[Mr. Beef]

Still would like to express interest in the DS thread.

[Foladar]

just noticed foladar made the cut - congrats
thanks!

[shrike4242]

thanks!You get to try to manage that wretched hive of scum and villany. Lucky you. :D

[CocheseUGA]

I could help out by taking something that no one else wants. Not that I'll get picked.

[halu102]

Hmm, sorry if I'm very late for the call...

Personally, I cannot keep up with the ever updating VG deals, DVD deals or the CAG Deal Forum for that matter (with the exception of Regional: West where I happen to hail from).

The sections I most frequently visit are the General Game Discussion, Nintendo (specifically DS/GBA... I know... I know...), and CAG Lifestyle & Offtopic forums.

I haven't had much experience as an actual moderator. However before arriving here, I would frequent another forum that has unfortunately died where I was an "honorable" moderator of sorts in it's dying days. And yes, I completely respect and abide by general forum ettiquete. Plus I'm always for saving CAGs as much of their hard earned cash, be it directly or indirectly.

Now if we are paid with gruel... I'm definitely in. Even e-gruel will do.

Godspeed Cheapy finding moderators to help unify it's members, godspeed.

[Maklershed]

If the job isnt claimed I'd like to offer my services as a guide for the DVD Deals forum.

[daroga]

thanks!Yes, congrats on that! Good luck with the work! :)

[Foo228]

thanks!

no problemo

but whats the word on other forum guides?

[guinaevere]

i noticed guinaevere was made a mod, she seems to have a better head on her shoulders than most, so that should work out well, congrats to her. Hey, thanks so much! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/blush.gif

but whats the word on other forum guides? Ditto on the Congrats to Foladar. And don't worry, other Guides shall be chosen.

[daroga]

Wow, the General Gaming forum can get to be quite a handful as well, and I'm on there about as much as the Nintendo forums. Should an extra hand be needed in that forum, I'd be more than happy to help there in addition to / instead of the Nintendo forums.

[mykevermin]

Can I give a nod to daroga, FWIW? Dude's all class.

PM me that fiver, hombre. ;)

[daroga]

Can I give a nod to daroga, FWIW? Dude's all class.

PM me that fiver, hombre. ;)What are you talking about?! This isn't like some dirty campaign or anything!

check your paypalz dood!

[Kaijufan]

I forgot to post this earlier, but I would also be willing to offer my services on the DVD Deals forum if I'm not needed in the Wii forum.

[Zenithian Legend]

When I came to this site over 3 years ago it was for the Video Game Deals forum, and I ended up staying for the wrestling threads I went on to create with Casey. I wish there was a way I could clean the wrestling threads up, as well as, lock the old ones when I or someone else makes a new one, and remove other wrestling threads that are occasionally made.

That aside I'd also like to be a guide on the Video Game Deals forum. Far too much nonsense gets posted on there, and I'd like to help give that forum a more crisp look so the deals are easier to find. I also believe I could be helpful in deleting pointless posts in the many clearance threads, that make it harder to find the actual deals in them. Furthermore, I'd like to see the OPs of clearance threads updated more frequently, again making the deals easier to find. There's also a great deal of merging/thread deletion that could be done in the Video Game Deals forum as that attracts many newer posters who have yet to discover the site's search function.

Basically, I'd just like to make finding good video game deals as easy and as quick as possible.

[Apossum]

I'll volunteer for the PS3 forum, though it looks like you guys have some good candidates already. if needed, I'm ready to merge threads, bust heads, and enforce CAG law with an iron fist. I recognize that the ps3 forum is all over the place right now and that official threads don't get used that well, but I'd like to clean it up for the inevitable boom of ps3 owners. I check in multiple times per day and I'll be around even more during the semester. I'll check my many smart ass posts at the door if I become a ps3 mod :)

[letsgetacid]

I'd like the "Other Deals and Requests" or "Contests and Free Stuff" if possible. Should be a good time!

[rapsodist]

I'd be glad to help out if there're still people needed for any forum, even if it's a poor, neglected one. I figure it'd be the least I could do after taking advantage of being a CAG for so long. I suppose there are more than enough people chomping at the bit to take their share of power though... :lol:

[Xrazor]

Im would Be really good as Modertating the PSP or PS2 Forum
Im not inexperienced to Moderationg Forums. Ive been up to Op on IRC Channels and have been admin on a few forums already =)
But id Prefer PSP If i get the Job

[2Fast]

I'd be willing to lend a hand where needed. I have no specific preference as to what forum I could oversee, but would gladly help out the site that has given me so much entertainment, as well as do a stand-up job at it.

[Xrazor]

Wait Why Delete Me?

[SoNiC1023]

This might be to late but I would be more than happy to be a guide for the trading forums the microsoft forums or the free stuff forums!

[guynextshore]

I've acquired so much & spent most of my time in the trading forum thread...
I'd like to keep it maintained if possible.

On a side note,
congrats to Gwen :).

[sp00ge]

I'd be up for VG Deals, Deal Requests and Xbox and Xbox 360.

Thanks to gwen for putting the idea in my head. :D

[daroga]

Any updates on getting this program up and running?

[LinkinPrime]

Any updates on getting this program up and running?

I think CheapyD has been really busy lately, but its coming along, can't get into details but the list has been compiled and CheapyD is going through the list.

[gunm]

The newly promoted moderators have been doing a pretty good job so far. Maybe there's no need for the forum guides now.

Edit: oops, thx for the update LP.

[daroga]

I think CheapyD has been really busy lately, but its coming along, can't get into details but the list has been compiled and CheapyD is going through the list.I kinda figured the CC thing was putting the breaks on far less pressing issues like this. No rush of course, just wondering on what the status was.

Thanks for the update LP :)

[guinaevere]

I think there's definately a calling still for Forum Guides. Just please be patient; I know those of y'all who tossed your names into the ring (and even those who just enjoy following the goings on around here) are anxious to hear the outcome. We all are.

But you have no idea the gladiator games Cheapy is putting us through to fight for & against each nominee. Wubb barely escaped with both wings in the last match. Some of y'all will be glad to hear that I'm going to have to use crutches for at least the next couple weeks after the steel cage match.

[guynextshore]

What? gladiator games you say, Gwen?! I never knew such 'steel cage matches' existed - Details Gwen, Details please!! :).

Anyhow, I'm anxious (like the rest of us) to know who made the cut.
I kinda placed my name to be a trader forum guide a bit late... so I wasn't sure if the this was over or not.

Goodluck to all & thanks for the update.

[rodeojones903]

I would love to help out in the PS3 forum.

[fullmetalfan720]

I would like to help out in any of the forums, if it's not too late to enter.

[Jedi1979]

will we be notified when to go for a physical?...and how long till orientation after that?;)

[InuFaye]

I want to help out the pc fourms. Since there are like 5 pc gamers on cag

[unicron129]

I would like to help out with oldschool and contests and free stuff forums. I would also be open to other forums as longs as I own that console or know something of the subject. If it's not too late, that is.

[jer7583]

I'd like to give the old school forum a kick in the pants. Also Nintendo areas, because they have fuzzy heads that are satisfying to tousle.

[Ender]

I'm definitely interested in this. If available, I'd enjoy helping with any of the forums that need help in (even the lesser ones that never get visited), but I'd prefer to help out in any of these:

- 360 forum
- PSP forum
- Politics forum
- PC forum
- Game Review forum
- Referral Central forum

Thanks for considering me! *Will sing for extra consideration!* ;)

[contej85]

Just rethrowing my name in the ring for any forum really, but I'd prefer the trading, Game Deals, Xbox 360, or Deal Discussion and Bragging.

[Friend of Sonic]

I'd like to throw my name in. There's a shortage of maps umm I'd like to umm help!

[kjauburn]

I would be willing to take on the role for DVD deals. Figure its a area everyone isn't jumping in for, plus most of the new threads I start are in the DVD deals section anyways. Between all the cags dvd collections and the more recent action in the HD/BR threads its a area I believe we all can improve. With the upcoming holidays, DVD deals should start rolling in fast in furious.

Just by looking at the old DDD sale threads you can see how much money CAGs spend on DVDs. It would also be worth working on getting CAG it's own Deep Discount Sale code for the next sale.

[Chacrana]

If you're still taking people, I'd like to do General gaming, PC Games, or Game Reviews.

[garfep]

Heh, I'm probably too new to even be considered, but I'd love to help out with DVD Deals, as I've been a DVDTalk member for years and I always keep up with releases, etc., plus I'd like to think that I can be fairly helpful when needed.

Other than that, I'd be thrilled to help out with Trading, Contests, or either Request forum, but, again, I'm guessing I'm probably too new.

[lilboo]

If it's more then 1 person to a forum..if anything, I'd love to help Foladar out in the Contests/Referral Central area..since him and I are the KINGS of that thar area!

[Pookymeister]

At least I bought Christmas presents with it!!! :lol:

[yukine]

Did Cheapy give up on this idea? Or is the "View CAG Team" just not showing the forum guides: http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showgroups.php?

As the only person listed is Foladar.

[botticus]

As the only person listed is Foladar.Last word was they were looking at lists, but hadn't chosen guides yet.

[yukine]

Last word was they were looking at lists, but hadn't chosen guides yet.

Ah, my mistake. I guess it was addressed on the latest CAGcast? I haven't listened to it yet. ;)

[botticus]

Ah, my mistake. I guess it was addressed on the latest CAGcast? I haven't listened to it yet. ;)Nope, but same question was asked a couple weeks ago:

I think CheapyD has been really busy lately, but its coming along, can't get into details but the list has been compiled and CheapyD is going through the list.

[anomynous]

I would like to do:

the Xbox 360 forum
Video Game Deals forum

[docvinh]

I guess I could help out in the trading forums, or maybe locking spam threads in any other forum really.

[.JPG]

If the casting is still open, I'd be interested in applying for the position of the CAG Trading Forum. Its a great addition to CAG, and I'd be very interested in being able to help out with it.

Also I wanted to say thanks for giving us this opportunity Cheapy. It's nice to see that your giving CAG's the option to pitch into the community. :)

[msdmoney]

I would be interested in:

Video Game Deals
General Gaming
PC Gaming

[Darkside Hazuki]

Please consider me for the Old School forum. Thank you.

[banpeikun]

I'd like to be a forum guide for the DS/GBA forum which I check multiple times per hour, and the Wii/Gamecube forums also :)

[heatdolphins45]

sent you a PM cheapy. I would like to be a mod or forum guide. any position that's available.

[daroga]

Are we still in a holding pattern on this project?

[CheapyD]

Yeah, I'm going to get to it this week...sorry for the delay!

[tiredfornow]

:evil: I would like to mod the OT forum.

[daroga]

Yeah, I'm going to get to it this week...sorry for the delay!Hey, no problem at all. It'd just been a month since we heard anything from you or a mod and I thought I'd see what was up. :)
Not a good idea. With that avatar, it's clear you have a decided Nintendo bias.This is true. dallow is a Nintendo fanboy to the nth degree. I mean, comeon, he talks to Strell of all people. How much more brainwashed can one get? ;)

General Gaming & Industry News

and

CAG Lifestyle & Off Topic

Last time I modded something, it was back in the Wildcat! BBS days with a 2400 modem, in 1990. Those were the good times man. Good times.

P.S. I found it relaxing when I had to control a whole neighborhood of modem users, a bit beyond what some people have to put up with nowadays. Hehe.

P.S.S. I won't tip the keg over, okay?

[Nogib]

Haven't been on as much as I used to the past months, but would gladly welcome the opportunity to be a guide and return to frequenting the CAG forums more than ever. :D

I'd be interested in:
Sony Gaming (or are you looking for a person for each subforum within this?)
Microsoft Gaming (see above)
Nintendo Gaming (see above)
PC Games

[guinaevere]

Are we still in a holding pattern on this project?Much like my trip and flight home. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v76/guinaevere/smilies/cigar.gif

:evil: I would like to mod the OT forum.

:twisted:Something about that nomination just screams, "bad idea." ;)

P.S.S. I won't tip the keg over, okay?Good thing. What with the marbles I leave all over, and the banana peels some un-named mod tosses around, this place is getting dangerous.

[Sporadic]

I'd be down for either the 360 forum or the DVD deals forum.

I promise to keep my temper in check and be extra helpful if you decide to pick me :)

[zerowing]

I'm a late night surfer 11 PM to 3 AM (PST) and I see quite a bit of spam during these 4 hours. Its not every day nor is it an insane amount, but many of these spam threads can give the misconception to new CAGs that they are getting a "free Panasonic LCD TV" by clicking a random link and giving out their personal info. While commen sense could be used to avoid these, new CAGs may be awestruck at all the deals on the site that they think anything and everything is real.

While I haven't heard of anything happening to any CAGs by doing something with spam threads, I'm sure its just a matter of time before something does happen. I don't know what time they get taken down, but they are usually still there when I leave and I rarely see any form of moderation in the active users list aside from CheapyD on occasion.

So my thinking is someone who is around at these late hours could become a Global Mod or Forum Guide to patrol the forums for these spam threads. Who? I don't know. Should this happen? Up to the head cheap ass.

Just my 2 cents.

[-Never4ever-]

I would be up for anything, but I wouldn't mind "guiding" the General Gaming or Wii forums.

[Thomas96]

put me down for the Sony forums.. PS3/PSP/ ah heck PS2 as well.

[lilboo]

Congrats io, sp00ge, and evilmax :applause:

[Azumangaman]

I'd love to be the Forum Guide for the Canadian board (though I already PM'ed you :D )

[daroga]

Yep, congrats guys! :) Don't be mean to the rest of us ;)

[judyjudyjudy]

Yay, good choices! Congrats!

btw, is there a way to tell which forum a forum guide is for, or who the forum guides are for a certain forum?

[evilmax17]

Thanks all! Don't be afraid to PM me with any suggestions or concerns regarding the VGD forum. :)

near the bottom.

[guinaevere]

Congratulations to our new Video Game Deal Forum Guides! :applause:


Judy³, another way to see who is a Guide for a specific forum is to scroll towards the bottom of that Forum page. In this case, at the bottom of the Video Game Deal Forum (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=11) you'll see who your Forum Guides are.

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/8179/cagob3.gif

[CheapyD]

I'll be adding more guides really soon. Sorry for dragging my ass.

Also, you can see a complete list by clicking on View CAG Team (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showgroups.php) at the bottom of every page (right corner).

[guinaevere]

Sorry for dragging my ass.It's fine, but not on the driveway. The neighbors complain.

[yukine]

Bad taste in guides, io!? That guy is a troublemaker.

Haha, congratulations fool.

[daroga]

Bad taste in guides, io!? That guy is a troublemaker.No kidding. I thought the goal was to improve CAG through this program, not run it into the ground. ;)

[Kfoster1979]

Well I will only say it again becuse I put my name down back around page 4. I would like to do the Other Deals and Request fourm, or PSP .

I still also think maybe CAG should start a spin off forum from other deals thats for HDTVs, MP3 players, just consumer electronics in general. Just an Idea

[Rocko]

Congrats, you three!

[The Dord]

Grats

Thought had to had no life to be a mod :P

Oh well, time to play more World of Warcraft waiting to become special someday ;)

(P.S. Evilmax, get rid of that gold-selling link on the sig.)

[FriskyTanuki]

I would've never known unless I noticed this thread being bumped up a lot lately. A title change is in order for this thread, Cheapy.

Congrats to the new forum guides. It would be nice to have the forum they're in charge of in their titles.

[fullmetalfan720]

Congratulations to the new forum guides.

[Foo228]

congrats indeed

[daroga]

Congrats to the new forum guides. It would be nice to have the forum they're in charge of in their titles.I agree. Having "Deals Forum Guide" or "Sony Forum Guide" instead of just a generic title would be nice, if possible.

[VanillaGorilla]

Could there possibly be anymore ass kissing in this thread?

[shrike4242]

I leave being a mod, and we inherit two new mods and four forum guides. I guess I did some work after all. :lol:

Congrats to the new appointments. I'm sure you'll all help keep CAG running smoothly.

[guinaevere]

Could there possibly be anymore ass kissing in this thread?Is that a request? How much do you need?

I leave being a mod, and we inherit two new mods and four forum guides. I guess I did some work after all. :lol:Like there was any question. I'm still intimidated when you're around.

[lordwow]

Congrats guys!

[djkunai]

I'm tossing my hat in for next time. I didn't even realize this thread existed.

[daroga]

Another delay on fully implementing this project, 'eh? What happened? Did Cheapy have something big happen in the last several days or something?

;)

[Friend of Sonic]

I would love to be a forum guide. I'm on late nights, including weekends, so I could fill in for the tiny bit of time that no one is on watching CAG.
I also have my own Batman esque spotlight that you could use to summon me when there is trouble and chaos on the boards.

[daroga]

Any update on this?

[Thomas96]

They picked some forum guids, but I don't see where anyone was picked for the Sony forums... probably too late not, but I'm definitely throwing my hat in the mix. Trolls still coming to PS3 forums, and we're even getting trolled...

[sasukekun]

I'd be willing to help out if you still need it. Pretty much live on the site when I'm not in class.

Read most of the forums except for the PS3 and DVD forum.

[sayHey]

I check out DS/GBA daily, I'd love to help

[h3llbring3r]

Too lazy . . but feel free to lock, edit move my posts as need.

[InuFaye]

Cheapy,
General Gaming, Or PC Gaming.
Thats where I am.
Make it so.

[Nephilim]

Just saw this thread. I'd be up for the Trading Forum or PSP, GBA or Gamecube.

[guinaevere]

I just bugged Cheapy about this. Yes I admit it, the one thing a lady mod is good for: nagging.

[cochesecochese]

Shit, I'd love to sign up for the Sony boards if there's still a spot.

[lilboo]

<-- Is waiting patiently for his Nintendo Forum Guide position.
<-- Will be waiting in green room, eating mozzarella sticks. (mmm)

[Nephilim]

After reading the OP again, I updated my post to request some specific forums.

I would be up for the Trading Forum, PSP, GBA, or Gamecube.

[lilboo]

So, update on this? ;)

[Pookymeister]

^^

[LinkinPrime]

Welcome to the team Pookeymeister!

[lilboo]

Congrats to Pookey AND Congrats to sp00ge!! :applause:

[Pookymeister]

yay thanks

[xmrblondex]

sp00ge had been one for a while now.

We're still looking for more, yes?

[lilboo]

sp00ge had been one for a while now.

We're still looking for more, yes?

He's been promoted to a Global Mod, instead of a Forum Guide (well he's actually down as both)

[kube00]

I would be up for Trading, Deal/Shopping Discussions and Bragging Rights, or PS3. I'd even do pc games, game reviews, or cag lifestyle since I spend a lot of time there with my daily 5x a day visits. I'm more then willing to help people out and move/lock/edit posts, and fetch coffee.

Thanks

Grats are in order to those who just got positions or got promoted

[fullmetalfan720]

Congrats sp00ge and Pookymeister!

[Azumangaman]

The canada board still REALLY needs a forum guide. I'm up for it.

[lilboo]

So why are people getting picked one at a time.. and very much time in between? Just curious, really.

[io]

So why are people getting picked one at a time.. and very much time in between? Just curious, really.

As per the whims of Cheapy ;).

(Though the mods were pushing for help in the trading forum specifically as of late)

[Riyonuk]

So are all position filled? I would be happy to contribute my efforts in helping CheapyD. Be it the CAG Video Game Trading section, or maybe the Bragging Right's section.

[lilboo]

Congrats Io on being the Nintendo guide too.. :)

[guinaevere]

Congratulations to sp00ge for the promotion to Mod and to Pooky for being given the Forum Guide position.


Io, I didn't know you're a Nintendo Guide now, too. Yay!

[Inf^Shini]

Hmm, if nothing has happened yet, I'd be down for being a forum guide for PS3 and/or PSP forums

[The Mana Knight]

Hmm, if nothing has happened yet, I'd be down for being a forum guide for PS3 and/or PSP forumsI think you'd be pretty good.

I'd most definitely be up to be a forum guide of the PS3 forum (or any Sony forum), since I tend to spend most of my day at CAG (I do coordinate CAG PSN Gaming and usually help people out in the PS3 forum). Chances of me getting it are very slim I know, but I just wanted to throw my name out anyway. ;)

[ThatDamnDave]

If this is still an open invitation:
I'd like to profess interest in the 360/DS/General/Other Deals forum guide positions as they're the ones I frequent most and am most comfortable with.
The 360 forum is the one I participate in the most, as I've created the Xbox Live Gaming Group tag listings as well as getting some game nights started and providing the first implementations of CAG "clans" through the friend of a friend feature on Xbox Live. Linkin does a great job with the forum, but with his promotion to global mod, maybe there is room for a Guide in the 360 forum as well.

Beyond that, the Other Deals forum probably would be the biggest draw for me as it taps into a wide range of topics and could definitely use some oversight if only because of the volume of disparate posts created there.

I'd love to be a bigger part of CAG and would be interested in speaking to my qualifications for a Forum Guide position in the DS (not the quickest moving forum, but will almost certainly grow as CAG traffic grows) and general forums (most of the reasons I'd like to tackle the Other Deals forum apply to the General Gaming forum as well, which has a wide base of different types of threads) as well. Thanks much.
