Question
Ummm... this will sound awkward but... could I be a mod? I just looked at a lot of other mods' works/info/etc. and I tried comparing.
1. Being on for a while. I have been signed up for about 3 months longer than JSO, and when February rolls around, I will have been a member for roughly half of Scratch's lifetime.
2. Vital to the community. You thought I would say yes? Think again! But I think I'm not noobish anymore, and my projects do get comments.
3. Visits frequently. I go on at least once a day. And I post quite often.
4. Programming skill. Archmage and Paddle2See are the 800-pound gorillas in this category, but I think I size up moderately. I have dabbled in variables and have successfully tried the [blocks] <abs( [/blocks] function. There is also a steep curve as I went from the (atrocious) Mario Animation 2 to my latest works.
5. Sheer fame. You'd be surprised what this can accomplish. I think part of my relative "intangibility" is because I have never been on the front page. Circle World Demo, on the other hand, was a complete fluke. It reached the top slot through spamming... I think.
I'd like to think that I have half a chance. Laugh all you like...

Re: Question
I doubt that they'll let you be a moderator. One reason is for asking. No one (That I know anyways) on ANY forums becomes a moderator by asking. They earn it
(Oh and sorry if I sounded sort of mean, I wasn't trying to be 
)

Re: Question
JSO signed up 2007-06-23 and you signed up 2008-02-21, so he actually signed up just about 7 months before you.
I think you could be a mod, but the scratch team isn't known for making you one if you ask. (as much as I'd like to)

I'm taking a break from Scratch until 2.0 comes out. Any messages sent between then and now probably won't be read - sorry.

Hi big-bang - I'm glad you are interested in serving the Scratch Community as a forum moderator. It certainly is interesting work! I don't know if the Scratch Team is looking for more Forum Moderators right now but when they do need them, they look for them among the people that have been the most active and helpful on the Forums. As Jello715 put it: "they earn it".
Good luck with your quest!
