Who wants to be admin?
HBH is having a big administration change. Instead of having a few admins that do everything on HBH, we are changing to a select group of admins who have particular tasks and specilize in that only. The idea is that hopefully this will make HBH expand and improve in all its area's at once.
So if you have been at HBH for a long time and have worked your way up to a respected member or knowing me personally etc, then you can apply for a admin position.
Positions:
- Article Administrator: someone who reviews articles, organizes them into categories, edits articles for spelling, moves articles into correct places etc.
- Link Administrator: someone who reviews submitted links and can organise the link section into a much more diverse section + frequently add links they find.
- Download Manager: someone who organises the download section and frequently ads downloads to it.
- Strict Forum Mods: someone who will be very strict in the content we allow in the forums and is quick to remove repeating, noobish and/or illegal threads from the forum. You also must be a active forum user.
- Competition Organiser: someone who will organise, review, judge compeitions on a monthly / every 2 weeks basis. Must have good programming knowledge so they can review competitions in many differnt languages and be able to set challenges of various difficulty.
- Logic/Other Challenge Reviewer: someone who will regulary check the daily answer submissions for these challenges.
Either PM me or post below and explain what position you want to apply for, and why you want to the job etc etc etc.
I would like to Organize competitions. I have know lots of different languages such as HTML, JavaScript, PHP, SQL C, C++, & CSS. I have been here for 5 months. However during those 3.5 months, I have been on HBH nearly 75% of the time. I am also interested in being forum mod if the above doesn't work out. I am quite active in the forums.
I want to be a Article Administrator or Strict Forum Mod, I have not been here long, but in the time I have, I've been doing really well, I haven't been on computer very much lately because my brother is always on kills I have my own website, it is currently down do to my server messing up Apache! kills Anyways, I used to have PHP-Fusion, and I really want to help!
I would love to become anyone of these admins and I will try to give fair arguments for me doing each
-
Article Administrator: I am generally online a large amount of the time. It is approx 8+ hours a day. I am a fast reader and due to completing a large number of missions spoilers are unlikely to affect me. I have already writter two articles and am planning on a set of articles at the moment.
-
Link Administrator: I am an avid web crawler and spend a large percentage of my time on the internet research etc. I was thinking if I did this I could code a "Website of the Day" with a description and stuff.
-
Download Manager: I don't know much about this posistion but I would be able to do this as well because I have a good knowledge of programming etc. This is the one area where I have not had as much experience as I would have liked and hopefully I would be able to come up to scratch
-
Strict Forum Mod: I would be a good moderator because I have had a lot of experience with forums before and as I said before I have also completed many of the challenges so it is likely that I will be able to spot spoilers quickly
-
Competition Organiser: I have a wide knowledge in many programming languages my favourite being C++ but I also have spend a large amount of time teaching myself a wide range of programming languages including C++, C*, ASP, PHP & SQL, JS, VB, VB.NET, VBS, HTML (XHTML, XML and CSS) (If it is a proper language) I also have good organisational skills and have high standerds and good ideas.
-
Logic/Other Challenge Reviewer: I guess all this takes is for someone who understands the challenges to be online at the right time. I am online as much as possible and have a good logical mind.
Overall I believe I have what it takes to be a good active leader of this community.
Hi Mr_Cheese :-) I would like to be an admin, i feel i can be very dedicated to the job, im friendly with all members as far as i know, and im pretty good friends with Frozen Flame and hack4u. Im on the site almost as much as Frozen Flame is, and i was hoping to become a article administrator/ forum moderator or Logic/Other Challenge Reviewer. You can contact me on aim at: crazyXwhiteXgyrl
I look forward to it :P
hey im up for it again… i got dropped after the A99 hack about 5 months ago and never got reinstated :( but if i remember I had to look through hundreds of submissions daily since… well no other admin looked at them.
well i think it would be cool if i could be admin for any position. Ill be making competitions for the Zine along with frozen flame already and if i was admin it would make it easier to communicate between zine and hbh :)

phoenix121 … youve been here for about … 1 year so far. I think we should give a chance to the people who have been here for almost 2 years now. not saying that I need that chance ive already had one. :)

Why are you capitalising your 'I's in 'I'm' while mid-sentance then :P

umm flash if you correctly write in english you are supposed to capitalize I's when you use the pronoun I as in I am here. maybe you should worry about your entrys and no others

There were times when that happened to me too, but I notified cheese or someone else that I wasn't going to be there because of holiday or dog show etc, but I was here like every day, even through school and normally when I'm round friends houses too
I'd like to be an admin to this site as it is my favourate site on the internet and i spend virtually all the time im on a computer logged in to this site. I am an active mission user and i spend alot of time reading the articles and forum posts. I just do not post regulary in them but wish to change this in the near future. I would be hournerd if you made me an admin. If not i will still use your site non the less. I would like to be considerd for Link Admin or Download manager. As i like to keep things orginised so i belive i would be able to sort out downloads and i am willing to browse the internet for downloads for others benifits. Or the Link Admin due to the fact i spend so much time on the site and i do normally click on most links on this site so i may aswell do it for a reason (ammitidly it may seem a bit sad) Thanks.
I'd love to be an Article Admin :) I like structured articles that are usefull and presented well, and I always look for new articles on HBH because I think that one of the best ways to learn something new easily is to do it step by step, and have something to go by. Since English grades have been mentioned, I'm in express English, if that counts for anything. Im for at the very least a couple hours daily, iif not more, and I'd really like to read through people's submissions, from first time articles to people who've wrote a few :) And, if there's a few reasons why I wouldn't accept a submission, I'd try to PM then telling them why, because I'd find it annoying waiting for my article to appear, then not knowing why it doesn't !
Please consider me for Article Admin Mr_Cheese !
Thanks for reading, AbSoRb
Hey there Mr_Cheese, long time no see. :) You know me pretty well, so I'm not going to write a long biography or anything. I would love to be an Article Administrator or a Strict Forum Mods. You know my english is very well, so I would make an exceptional article administrator, and I've moderated many forums (always strictly ;) ). You know I can easily spend more than one measely hour per day on HBH, I used to all the time. I just felt ithe whole hacking scheme was getting boring, so I stopped coming but after buying Web Hacking: Attacks and Defense (which I highly recommend to any Web hackers out there), it rekindled my love of Web hacking and I'm back in action. We can talk some more if you'd like, I never catch you on AIM anymore. :(
P.S. I hope you don't mind I PMed you this message as well as posted, just so you don't miss it with this thread's replies populating so fast.
