Searching for new co-mod!
Aug. 23rd, 2010 07:17 pmyviHey icon_style,
sincekerravonsen is pretty busy, I am going to be 'taking over' this community - however, I can't do it alone and thus I am looking for someone to share the duties!
It wouldn't be too much work - I'll run September's challenge and the next co-mod could then run October's and so on. Running the challenges mostly involves writing the intro post for each challenge -kerravonsen has thought of quite a few things we could have as challenges, so you wouldn't need to be creative in that direction (though it is certainly not discouraged!) -, after that post, a few reminders need to be put up and of course the voting and the winner posts at the end of each challenge need to be posted.
You really don't need any experience with comm moderation for this, just a bit of time and teh ability to post things on time :)
If you are interested, just send me a PM. Thanks everyone :)

kerravonsenThere will be a delay in posting the results; I'm going to a funeral tomorrow, and there will be family stuff in days coming. So no results before the weekend, I'm afraid. Which means that there is time for more than a mere eight people to vote.
