(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Here is some intersting threads on how moderators and site managers were chosen back at the start of the site through last year.This is not a comment on the current selection process(which I am fine with). This is more of a look back on the last 3 years on the site and to bring back some memories over the last 3 years as NGU approaches it's 3rd Anniversary in 2 weeks.
Please do not post comments about the management selection process:( This thread is about looking back, not forwardSmile

Take at look at these and have some chuckles at old members applications and Outsiders responses.
You Have all seen this one about the qualifications for being a moderator, posted October 2008: You must login or register to view this content.

I like this comment by Cobra-D in early June of 08 on how people will know if they have been selected: When you see peoples name turn blue, then you will know. Things ever really change?Winky Winky

Here is one from Outsider announcing the June 1 08 moderators:You must login or register to view this content.

Here is Outsider's staff announcement from Aug 1st 2008: Source:You must login or register to view this content.

I tried to +rep you for this, that is, if that means anything these days. Anyways, I was out, so I thanked and nominated. You impress and amaze me with these factual threads you put out, it's purely entertaining. Seeing all the interviews from some former staff were pretty revealing, and showed the demands and necessities back then. It was a good old look at the the good old days. Awesome thread once again, props is all I can say. Keep these statistics threads coming, I'm loving em. :y:
