Today is Icy's 1-year anniversary of joining the auth team.
I was surprised when Ame asked me if I wanted to be a mod. I was excited at the idea, but wondered whether I should accept or not. I'd never been in a position of authority before, and there were some parts of the job I wasn't sure I could handle. Mainly, the idea of possibly having to deal with people who were angry about getting warning points was scary.
I did decide to accept, and I'm glad I did. It's been fun seeing how the auth team makes decisions on what action to take in certain situations, what changes should be made to the community, and how events (like the summer and winter parties) will be set up. There's a lot of stuff Icy didn't know about what happens behind the scenes, and Icy gets to give her input too now.
Since 2008, I've been in a few different online places (since 2004 if lurking counts). Most of the time, I was active for ~2 years before burning out and slowly becoming less active, or leaving for other reasons. I haven't ever been as involved in an online community as I have been in Reborn. In other places, I never participated in any site events or anything like that, and didn't really make any contributions to the communities beyond just posting.
Hopefully I'm doing a good job as a mod, and as a user in general. ^^ Thank you all for being here!
