I, too, have applied.

I applied too. I finally have time to sign in everyday since I don't have a block schedule at school.
I'm thinking Shadowing could do this well, also.
One_Fast_Kid, don't you have to be a UTI member to apply?
Edit: Oh, nope... I thought I saw that there somewhere, lol

that included during class time when I finished all work given by my teacher, the fact I barely had any homework to do (especially in my last year of hi school), I didnt needed to study at all to get good grades, my job was 10-13 hours a week only. |

no way. 70 hours is almost twice the entire time spent at a full-time job. you are either exaggerating, crazily persistent in your programming (to the point of insanity, :biggrin: ) or have made a mistake.

this seems to be somewhat off-topic. anyway, I spend about 4 hours a day programming and 2 hours on here
do you know when you'll announce the new Staff Member? and if a current staff member gets promoted then will someone else have to fill their position?

What's up with the double letters in people's names? lol...
Quote: and if a current staff member gets promoted then will someone else have to fill their position? Staff as in UTI Staff? That would be a demotion, since Staff are higher than Super Mods. |

Not sure what you're getting at here...

Just to clarify what seems to be a common misconception, I regard Super Mods, and Staff at the same level with decision making among our Staff team. The only real difference is who has access to the Admin CP, and FTP.
