Staff Applications WW is currently looking for ~2 new mods. I'm looking for specific skills and personalities that will mix well in the staff team. If you'd like to apply for staff, please fill out the form below and post it here. If picked, you will be given a month to get settled in and learn the ropes. At any time, feel free to ask any questions at all. Once the month is over, you will be expected to help with the tasks around the site. This will include checking bios, staff posts, advertising, updating lists, answering questions, and contributing to staff discussion.
I am mainly looking for people who are willing to help go over bios [aka have a good grasp on grammar, etc.] and are willing to do link backs, etc.
A good candidate for staff does not only want to apply for the "power or title". They can deal constructively and fairly with all members and are able to dedicate their time to the site, around one hour per day on the site to keep it running smoothly."
Please direct any questions to this post as well.
I'll lock the thread once we get enough applications. ^^ Probably in a week or less.
[b]Username:[/b] [b]Characters:[/b] [b]Skills you have:[/b] Just a list; graphics, coding, personality skills you think are applicable [b]Examples:[/b] Coded sites, graphics, etc.
[b]Why I want to be staff on WW:[/b] Whatever your reasons be; length doesn't matter.
Thank you for reading and or applying!

Username: Sky Characters: Sky, Vanya, Lupa, and Thana Skills you have: Hardworking/Helpful: I am very hardworking. Once I start a project I will not stop until I am finished, and I try to do my very best at whatever I may be working on. I encourage others to work hard, too. When posting, I always have more then 300 words, because I try my best to write good posts. I try to help new members out as much as possible, by giving them links, or simply some tips on how to make their bio. I try to learn from my errors and mistakes, and try to keep other members from doing the same mistake. I do not rush when I am writing or explaining something, for I want to do my best, and make sure the other person knows what I'm talking about. Personality: I believe I have a good personality for a staff. I am helpful, kind, devoted, patient, and I try my very best to help new members, and even the older ones if they have a question I can answer. I try my best at everything, and do it again if it doesn't turn out right the first time. I do not mind looking up things for members, and I am always patient when answering a question. I try to explain things my best, and will not stop until the other person has their question answered. Fast Learner: I am a very fast learner, and I am not afraid to work. I listen to those who are trying to teach me something, so I often grasp it quite quickly. I have a moderately good memory, and I can remember how to do things pretty easily. I also do not mind showing other members how to do something. Graphics: I have started a while ago, and although I did not think I was any good, I have kept on practicing, and now I believe I have a few okay pictures, though nothing very good. I mainly do lupus, because I find those the easiest. Examples: Just three examples. oi39.tinypic.com/4ing5y.jpgoi40.tinypic.com/167a58h.jpgoi40.tinypic.com/317i78k.jpgWhy I want to be staff on WW: I have been on Wonderwhy for quite some time, and I really like this RP, and I would love to help it. I have seen some of the stuff the staff do, and I believe I have a pretty good idea about what they have to do, like checking bios, the WW shop, adding PP, and stuff like that. The staff helped me a lot when I first joined, and I want to do that too, and help the new members that come. I would be so happy if I was a staff, and I would do all I could to help the site and keep it going, any way I possibly can. I believe I have the right qualities for a staff person, and I am also extremely active. I make a point of coming on every day, and seeing what is going on, along with replying. When I first joined, I doubted that I would ever apply for staff, but now I really do believe I have the hang of the site, and I think I would be a good addition to the staff.

I want to be able to help this place grow and thrive in any way possible, and I feel like I can't do very much as just a normal member.

Username:Queen Kitten Characters:Chance, Brightness Darkly, Angel, Rache, Aspen, Dev'on Zarki Skills you have: Examples: My site(Its the only real example of anything substantial that I've done. Why I want to be staff on WW: Look I'm not good at applications, or exalting myself. Wonder Why means a great deal to me and I would love to be able to contribute to more to this place. I'm on all the time and am very invested in this site (that sounds a little sad....) But anyway, I love this place and would love to help out. Lord knows I need the experience.

Username: soar Characters: Draugur, Tortoiseshell, Hawk, Red, Ajax, Ácélan Skills you have: - Decent graphics - I've had years of practice manipulating or whatever so I'm fairly quick with making pictures and often the outcome is quite decent.
- I think I'm quite friendly and easygoing. I would be more than happy to give any help with anything and answer any questions. I don't like the idea of intimidating new and old members, no matter how they're behaving or who they are.
- But if I have to deal with a serious matter, disagree with something, I try to not to be harsh, but reasonable. I try to see the both sides of an argument or any possible cause of a trouble, in order to resolve these problems.
- I know WW in and out so this would provide to be useful for new members. I can answer most questions easily and try to provide accurate information.
- I like sharing and hearing ideas and participate in any discussion. Also, I'm happy to do any duties.
Examples: Why I want to be staff on WW: WW is one of the most successful sites I have RPed on. I like to believe that this site is very unique and very original. I was one of the oldest members and I've seen how WW has improved (and it has improved so much) and, during my short staff period in the past, I felt like I was helping the RP I love so dearly to thrive and would love to do this again <3

Username: Molly Characters: Dreamith, Sailoon, Jackle, Tauxic, and Surrow Skills you have:
I actually enjoy going over bio's and correcting things and like to help others improve in their writing as well as improve myself to excel in becoming a better writer. I enjoy answering questions and helping out new members and love to befriend them quickly. I am happy to receive and to use advice thank will help me in anything I am doing or writing. I love to hear other peoples creative ideas while also giving my own opinion. I work hard on anything I do and do my best on anything and all that I write and do. I am also active almost everyday and enjoy being in WonderWhy with all it's lovely members and hard working staff. When posts need to get done, I usually jump on them quickly and I don't give up on things to easily. (An example of that would be that I have had my own site thats about a year old now with hardly any activeness on it other than myself and I am still not giving up on it.)
And as far as graphics and codes go.... I am still kind of new at but luckily improving. I also know the very very very basic codes.
Examples: * i43.tinypic.com/333khgi.jpg * i43.tinypic.com/dfvyo5.jpg * i44.tinypic.com/j8l2k1.jpg * i41.tinypic.com/dglymh.jpg
Why I want to be staff on WW: I want to be a staff member because I want to help Wonderwhy improve and stay alive for a long long long time. I would do my very best to help out and keep the place running (even though the staff is already doing such a good job already) and I think being more than a member, I can help with that. I also think that all of the people who are trying out for the staff will be a good addition and do well as a staff member.
(That was sooo much longer than I intended it to be...)

Username: revvy Characters: cyther aladar (unfinished) Skills you have:
- I'm friendly, social, and active on the c-box and forum (once Cyther gets finished). I'm more than willing to lend a helping hand when it is needed, and can handle things calmly and professionally when needed.
- I am versatile when it comes to learning new things and try to learn from previous errors.
- I am very OCD when it come's to updating things and keeping things in order, as well as devoted to anything that needs to get done.
Examples:

Why I want to be staff on WW: I have been around Wonderwhy as a member since day one and positively love the role-playing community here.

In the role-playing category I have loads of experience and would love to share and collaborate ideas I have for the site. During previous experience on the staff team here I felt like I was genuinely helping the site and would kill for such an experience again. ❤

Username: henley421 Characters: Laura Skills you have: - I'm kind, and patient. I'm good at keeping active on the site, and the c-box. I joined in like July, but missed an activity check.
- I'm good at coding, as I've coded over 3 sites. Links in the Examples section.
- I'm very OCD on checking up on bios, making updates, and very dedicated to whatever needs to get done.
- I'm very professional, and calm, keeping myself collected. I can handle things very calmly, and hassle free.
- I love to look over bios, and read them. When they make a mistake I won't hold it against them, and I'll explain everything as nicely as needed.
- I know my way around, and love to answer question that new members ask.
Examples: I own, and run this site, but it's still under construction.A small banner I made for my site. A Averra for the image contestMore graphics will be provided. Why I want to be staff on WW: I'd like to be a staff member on Wonder Why, because it needs to stay open for a long, long time. The staff are doing a wonderful job running it, and I'd love to contribute. I've had experience and coding, and this was my first RP I've joined ever. I'm very active, and love this site so much. I'm good with manipulating(I learned how from here!!), and would love to help check over bios. I do it anyway, reading over them, but I never point it out to them. Just keep it to myself. I've been waiting a long time to become a staff member on Wonder Why, and now I'm going to grab at the chance. I can be on for up to 3 hours every day, and will take all my responsibilities seriously, and with the utmost maturity. I've almost got too much experience and will help with anything needed. I love helping other people, as it helps make the site run smooth. I'd love to one day see a Wonder Why, where everyone is active, respectful, and can get their questions answered to as soon as possible, and will strive to make that happen. This is the MOST successful role play I've ever played o, and I've done like millions of role plays. I love to listen to ideas and share mine too. I think keeping this site running smoothly is one of the most important goals ever on WW. I'm ready to discuss anything, and join in on anything I need to.

Username: Sanity Characters: Vereine , Clovis , Revontulet Skills you have:
Graphics - I make decent graphics, and I believe it to be one of my strongest points. I’ve been manipulating for around two years, and I’ve started more graphic edits in the past year. Simple manipulations, gif. tables, photography edits, and more, I really have a fair grasp on working with graphics.
Self Taught & Fast Learner - Practically everything I know about technology/the internet, I’ve managed to teach myself. From how to use Photoshop to using Sony Vegas, I figure it all on my own. I’m also a fast learner, so getting a stable understanding on how things work is something I can usually accomplish in a short amount of time.
Adaptable - Environment, situation, power of order, you name it. I can easily adapt with a sudden change and when things don’t go the way as planned, I’m quick to think up a compromise and make sure the alternative is just as good as the original.
Social & Reasonable - I’m kind, willing to help members new and old, and enjoy interacting with others, be it in the forums or c-box. Should a situation ever arise, I know how to be stern and deal with the situation in a professional manner, still coming to a reasonable conclusion with both/the other parties.
Examples:
just another cold war.
[/u][/url] - A major work in progress site of mine. I will most likely modify the layout some time in the distant future, but it’s just an incredibly minor sample of my graphic edits and coding. animated/gif. tables.[/u] - here , here , here , & here. The tables are made entirely by me, even the animation. I think I’m the first on WW to create an animated/gif. table, showing my ability to ‘think outside of the box.’ [/blockquote] Why I want to be staff on WW: I have a love for writing and roleplaying, and being able to help and assist the site that feeds that love is something that I would enjoy greatly. WonderWhy is probably the longest running site I’ve been on and I really want to help it stay around for even longer. I’ve been roleplaying for quite some time now, so I have a lot of experience with bios and character applications, and even just giving ideas. I also don’t really celebrate with family, or travel much, so when many of both the staff and members are away for the Holidays, I’ll most likely be on and around for an extensive amount of time. I’m very dedicated to things that interest me and that I have a strong passion for, so becoming a part of the amazing staff team here on WW would be a great honor. [/sub][/justify][/blockquote]

Username: Ethereal Characters: Tsunami, Rava, Halcyon, Hysteria, Siren Skills you have:
- Graphics - I am a fairly talented photo-manipulator and creating artwork is one of my favorite things to do. Of course, I'm still learning and enjoy admiring other's skills.
- Experience - I have been role playing for many years, and currently co-own a very successful site. I know how to advertise, code, and lay down the law.
- Personality - I think I'm rather friendly and accommodating. I like to make new members feel that they are welcome here.
- Creativity - Coming up with fun new ideas is something I do best. Wonderwhy is a perfect outlet for my creativity and as a staff member I would have the opportunity to give back.
Examples:
Why I want to be staff on WW: As cliche as it may sound, this site is a home for me. I enjoy being a part of it and I feel like I belong here. I love this place and would be happy to do whatever it takes to keep it going strong. Wonderwhy has been my passion for about a year now, and I would be extremely proud to become a member of staff here.
