Myself and the rest of the LMW staffers have decided that it'd be more advantageous to have two separate teams of staff members - one for the Forums and one for the Discord/Wiki. I know that moderation is very much lacking here and I sincerely apologise for that... I'm hoping this change would makes things better in that regard.
With that said, we're taking applications for new forums staff! If you'd like to throw your hat in the ring, please reply to this post with a few notes about why you'd like to be an LMW forums staffer, your timezone and a rough estimate of how often you'll be able to carry out moderating duties etc.
I wanna apologize to everybody for my lack of moderating this past month or so. I'm currently working a full time job, which eats up a great deal of my time.
For now, I'd be more than happy to work Saturday and Sunday as an active mod. If that's okay with dycaite of course.
SeventhRing, can you put what days you'd like to be active? This way we can fill gaps?
If anyone wants to join our team, I'd be more than happy to recommend!
Edit: I think having a schedule for mods would be ideal, sometimes I check in and things are already taken care of.

Edit part 2: I'm mountain time btw.
I'm unemployed and rarely busy so I can work whenever you guys need me too.
I'm nothing but a mass of concrete yet my heart is calling my name

Also to anyone reading this, please understand if you become a mod you need to be mature and not act childish. Before I became a moderator co told me something that I tell myself everyday "if you are made into a mod, then be respectful, understanding, and stern. Try not to escalate a situation any further. You're better off being even keeled". So please keep that in mind!

I’m open to providing assistance where I can be of help. I’ve been a daily visitor to the forums for the past two years, as checking in has become part of my routine due to my fascination with lost media. While I haven’t posted as often as others, I feel comfortable with the community and its discussions. I’m committed to becoming more active and contributing meaningfully if given the opportunity.
My moderation experience stems from running a ProBoards forum during my teen years, which gave me a strong understanding of the platform’s tools and functionality. Although the forum I managed is no longer active—primarily due to its niche topic losing relevance over time—it was a valuable learning experience that honed my organizational and interpersonal skills. I’d be happy to share the forum privately if needed.
Currently, I’m a stay-at-home mom with significant flexibility during school hours while my child is at school. This gives me ample time to dedicate to moderating duties. I’m in the Mountain Time Zone and can check in multiple times a day to assist with forum management and community support.
I’d love the chance to help with searches or any other tasks needed. Even if I’m not a fit at the moment, I’d greatly appreciate any feedback or advice for the future.
I’ve been a part of this community for a long time and really appreciate what it stands for. I officially joined on May 27 2024, but I’ve actually been following the forums for about four/five years before that, reading and learning a lot from everyone here. Now, I’d like to give back and help ensure the forums remain a welcoming and engaging space for everyone.
Time Zone:
I’m in PST.
Availability:
I’m currently in college and don’t have a job at the moment, which gives me plenty of time to dedicate to moderating duties. This might change in a few months, but it won’t significantly affect my availability, I’ll still make time to contribute to the forums regularly.
I’m excited about the opportunity to help out the community.
