TimeLord: Your slipping a bit Claymorez ;) You have "Current Escapist Events" that are half a year old now :P
If I'm right, Claymorez wants to be a doctor and is applying for a bunch of Russel Universities. If that is the case then he has a lot of work to do, so stuff like his Escapist Guides may be pushed back as a result. aka: Cut the dude some slack.
I'm going to be fairly busy tonight but if I get any free time then I'll see what I can do in regards to updating this guide. He's been planning on updating it for some time and was going to ask me to "dot his 'i's and cross his 't's" anyway, so I doubt if he would mind me messing with his thing, and it's something I've been wanting to do for a while.

I was having a laugh. How was I supposed to know he is studying to be a doctor?
Would anyone be able to enlighten me to any degree of how I would possibly go about becoming a moderator? I feel I would be a valuable asset to the site, and would like to help keep this community as objective, friendly and non-discriminatory as possible.

Just be helpful to other users and staff members. Kuliani will ask you if you're interested in becoming a moderator if it gets to the point where we need more moderators and he decides that you would make a good addition to the team. Until then, there isn't anything you can do other than being as good a user as possible.

Is there anything that would disqualify me? I do my best to be as helpful and objective as possible (look at the recent dealio with LegendaryGamer0) I didn't lose my cool then despite being friends with Sam as well , but there were a few mishaps half a year or so ago that coyld be considered blemishes on my record I guess you would say. Someone basically said my opinion on every subject was invalid because I actually enjoyed Sonic unleashed. I.. kind of got a tad hostile. -Tabs<3-

Bad history fades over time with enough good work. About half the Red Guard have recieved some form of punishment in the past before they got their position (I'm one of the only two Red Guards to have Neo, and even I'm willing to admit that I have a history of low content/ aggressive posts from when I first joined) and one of our former mods was previously banned from this site before proving that he had learned his lesson and eventually becoming trusted enough to join the team.
Almost one and a half years ago I felt that my posting history was so bad that I contemplated just making a new account and starting again, just over a year later some of the regulars regarded me as one of the best users on the site and I was asked if I was interested in becoming a moderator. Like I said, do enough good stuff and people start to care less about the bad stuff you've done before.

Awesome! I will do my absolute best to help keep this site free from prejudice, biggotry, and ignorance! I fight for the Users! -Tabs<3-
Added Show About Games Show to videos, and also replaced old events with March Mayhem.
I swear sometime I'll also do an epic amount of work on the written articles piece section, sorry about any confusion there (something I've wanted to do for a while), I just don't have the time for now.

I would like to mention that there is a public teamspeak server open to anybody from the escapist community (and beyond) who wants to be there.
The current details are:
uk.clanwarz.com:1103
There is no password.
I have been offered a larger mumble server from a person who already runs a non profit server for a different community and his server has a lot of free space and he's willing to set us up with our own mumble.
Added all the new video features, plus some new written features. Moved some over to the archives section, and added in a few spoilers to make the OP a bit smaller, so it's faster to get to the section you want.
Claymorez: Hmmm. I feel it has been a while but at some point in the next month I will try to find the time to clean this up/update it.
Good to see you're still here man! ^_^
Speaking of which, should we (if we hold any tutorial/guide threads) update ours as well? As in, anything we should include information wise or structural wise? Just checking because the website itself went under some changes too.
It's probably a good idea to review/update any threads you've made with that kind of information. =]
Just a quick note Sky, but I think this section of the guide urgently needs an update:

Nasrin and Susan no longer work at the Escapist and ChristopherRobin, Labyrinth and Copper Zen are no longer mods. TopazFusion, EscapeGoat and Eleuthera are also full mods now according to the Code of Conduct.
Given that Clay himself hasn't been online for nearly a year and the others who kept it up to date are no longer mods, I'd say the chances are unlikely. =/

Do you think if I made an updated one it will be stickied and replace this one?
Aerosteam: Do you think if I made an updated one it will be stickied and replace this one?
If you make the staff aware of it then probably? I'm afraid I can't offer a definite answer on this as I haven't really spoken with the current staff, but I fail to see any reason not to.
sky14kemea: If anyone wants to add anything to this thread, or thinks anything needs changing, please feel free to quote me and ask! I'll see what I can do.
Here's some changes that I feel should be made to the OP. Some links need updating: two should be redirected to another thread and four of them don't work.
