Hello.
I enjoy SPOTM a lot. I check it often and I think of you guys as good friends (for the most part). No, I don't know the details of your life, be it your online life or your offline life. I don't have time to keep up with it honestly. I barely have time for my own life most of the time. I do make time for SPOTM though. I try to keep current on the debates that go on - and I'm a sucker for the Forum Games, though lately I've only played the RPGs.
I only have ever watched 2 pogotok's actually. Pogotok 4 (idk why I know that), and the most recent chuzzley one. I don't know what possessed me to watch it, but I did. Keep in mind, that though I don't keep up with a vast majority of the forums, I was aware that Asher had hacked Dan's account and started some things up, and everyone had mixed feelings for a while, and there was craziness (I might be a lurker, but I'm not that far in the dark). Maybe that's what possessed me, knowing that all this new stuff was going on - I should step back in and listen to the Pogotok.
Anyways, I was frankly shocked that I was nominated for the moderator team. I never applied, though I could have in the past. I'm not very prevalently posting in any parts of the forum OTHER than Forum Games or Debate Club. So I was really shocked that the new admins (or whoever it was that decided who should be nominated) had picked me along with the other 14 candidates. I was more surprised when I discovered that people were posting campaign type vids and posts. I support their efforts, though I won't be doing that.
I came to SPOTM because I thought through SPOTM I could help change the world. Over the past year that I've been here, I've changed my reasons for sticking around, but I still believe I can do that. The thing is, my way of changing the world is not through direct effect but through you guys, the people who come here every day. I debate with you (those in the debate club and sometimes certain posts in A&E) to open your mind to other possibilities, and to hopefully remove some of the close-mindedness that once inhabited your mind. I am here, to open the eyes of those who choose to stay and listen and think. I'm not here to be a part of the community, though I am. I'm not here to solve your problems, though I might. I'm here because I believe that maybe I might be able to change your mind a few times, and that you might be able to do the same to someone else. Maybe that someone else will change a new persons mind. Maybe that new person will open their mind and accept a new view. I cannot affect the masses, but I can affect you. And really, the masses of people in this world, are a bunch of yous.
So yeah, this rejuvenation project is all about bringing the moon back to its former glory, and I was a part of it when it was there before. I will be there when it is there again. And whether or not I get voted onto the Moderator team, I will be here trying to change your mind to the possibilities of new things. So vote for me or don't vote for me because I don't care. My job here on this site well defined, and while I may have new responsibilities from time to time, I'll do my job as well as I have for the past year.
