As these forums get busier and busier as the new ThunderCats series gets closer and closer, we’re looking for a couple of volunteers to help out with moderating our forums!
What we’re basically looking for are a couple of folks who’d be willing to help us deal with things like spam posts on the forums, threads accidentally posted in the wrong forum, and things like that. In particular it would be really good to have a couple more moderators based in the US, as most of this site’s team members are now based in Europe and so there are time periods where we’re all offline and thus things like spam posts are sitting unattended for several hours.
If anyone would be interested in taking on this role, please could you post up in this thread letting us know that you’re interested, what sort of times you’re able to be online, and what timezone you’re in.
There are many factors we’ll be considering when deciding who to pick out of the candidates available (including things like timezones, etc.), so if you don’t end up getting selected, please don’t take it personally - we’re sure it will be a difficult decision for us to pick just a couple of people!
And just to add, although I’m sure you guys will have figured this out already, unfortunately any work done for this site (including that of those of us on the team) is all unpaid and done by fans for the benefit of other fans, so sadly there’s no salary, even though we think all you guys are worth your weight in gold!
Chris, i’d be more than happy to help building the site even better for free but you mentioned moderators based in the US.
Can i provide some help from Greece?
I’m based in the U.S. on the East Coast, and would be happy to submit myself as a candidate to be a moderator. I’m in the EST (Eastern Standard Time) time zone and absolutely would like to join the team.
Availability - Most any time in the range of 6-12ish M-F and virtually any time on the weekends for a few hours. The couple of hours varies by day as I more or less go to the gym whenever i feel like it, but I’m constantly checking in on the site regularly for the better part of that time.
I could help you in the evening, US Eastern time. I may be going back to work during the day, so my availability would be after 6pm through most of the weekdays.
I’m on the East Coast USA, and would be happy to help. Hours vary, but I usually surf the web a couple times a night between 6 PM and 12 AM EST (11 PM to 5 AM England Time).
I would be willing/able to do it if you need me. I haven’t posted a lot here, but I’d certainly made a stronger effort if I was a mod. Of course, the down side is that if you took me and Prussia, you’d have two Michiganders as mod! Scary!!
Obviously I’m EST as well. I can usually check at various times during the day and certainly evenings as well.
I’m a moderator over at MotownSports.com (a Michigan Sports forum) so I’ve got some experience doing the whole Mod thing too.
I’d like to volunteer my services! I know I’m new here, but I think I’ll fit in just fine! I live in Michigan in the Eastern timezone and I’m on the computer most weekdays from noon until about 8pm! :liono
Just to say thanks to everyone who’s held their hand up in response to this - there’s a heck of a lot of good candidates here!
We’ll (hopefully!) be making a decision about this over the weekend. Thanks again to everyone who’s responded to this, it’s going to be a difficult decision!

If it isn’t too late I’ll throw my hat in as a mod candidate. I live in Central Time Zone (N. America) and generally check the site M-F 10am-6pm. Let me know if you can use me.
I am new here as being a member, but have visit the site for many years. I am more than willing to help out, but totally understand if my newness is an issue. If you do though need help I am more than willing, I have over many years experience policing the internet, and I am in the US, EST, but mainly on during the late night early morning timeframe.
