PXR Moderator Applications! [CLOSED]

[Bulbasaur]

1. Which board would you like to moderate? Choose a maximum of two, list in order of preference.
I'd prefer Other: Chat. If not, then Other Pokemon Games, like old times. Like Noble, if you think I'd fit somewhere else, let me know.

2. Please introduce yourself! What do you like to do at PXR? What are your hobbies? What do you do in real life?
Hey, my name's Eric! Going to be honest; I don't play a TON of Pokemon anymore, so I mainly come to PXR to talk about things that interest me, and hang out with cool people. One of my main hobbies is playing and composing music. I've been in a few bands playing multiple instruments, such as guitar, bass, drums, harmonica, and singing. I also have a love for technology. I'm a programmer, and I've helped out with web design here on PXR in the past. I am going to college looking to major in computer engineering! One other hobby worth mentioning is playing chess. A rather new hobby, I've been competing at tournaments the last few months, and even took 1st place in one of them!

3. Why do you think you would be a good moderator? Please include any experience you have that would help you in this role.
I like to share my knowledge and help out in communities. I am pretty patient, and an out-of-the-box thinker. I used to do Taekwondo, and I was a part of the leadership program at my Taekwondo school, which involved instructing less experienced students and being a role model.

4. Please share 2-3 ideas to increase activity of the forum overall AND/OR in your board of interest. This can be anything you can think of, from ideas for events, suggestions for running the forum or new threads etc.
I've noticed we've been doing this more lately, but we should definitely continue the events that get members involved. Specifically, ones where you don't need to make a huge commitment to participate in. Obviously we're having an issue of inactive members, which obviously means they can't commit to huge events like a communitylocke or such.
In Other: Chat, I really like the idea that mainly Palamon has been doing of bringing up random topics to discuss. We should continue doing those in other forums, as it causes interesting conversation. This idea also falls under the umbrella of what I just talked about with less commitment.
