If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? if it was deleted I'd probably migrate to another of the forums I use less frequently. Maybe AC-related, or maybe something different like TheStudentRoom. I wouldn't be very happy about it though. If ACC never existed, i'd probably be actually studying for my Welsh exam tomorrow.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? ACC. No time for video games, lots of time for internet.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? I feel really bad for not actually having an answer to this. I may post back when I remember one!
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? I don't feel bad about sending notifications if the person has done something wrong deliberately wrong.
Are you as busy as people think you are? Yes. I'm not doing Scout stuff every moment I'm on ACC or anything, but I'm busy with real life and it's difficult.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? Just be as helpful, nice and friendly as you can. Just be yourself! It's a great feeling when you help someone, I think. =)
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? I honestly don't know. o_o Maybe THIS time when I posted the exact same thing as Ryan_17 at the exact same time.
How long have you been on ACC Staff? Since the St.Patrick's day before last. So March 17th...2009?
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? Not really. But there are parts of the website I'm embarrassingly ignorant about, like the ACGC sections and Town tunes.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? Like I'd go to a reunion with those losers! Haha, not really. I don't know. I'd want to talk to all of them! =D
If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
If instantly deleted w/o warning: I'd probably discuss the issue on facebook with the other staff to figure out what the heck happened. And message Jader to find out if no one had answers.
If the games had never existed, my husband probably would have found some other game to get me back into video games, but as far as how it would affect my online life? I'd maybe now be moderator on crafster.com by now, or participating in or running my own fab Lego site somewhere.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
As far as basic games like DS Scrabble and my fitness things on Wii and my DS: maybe about the same? As far as full-out console games like AC, Endless Ocean, Rock Band, etc.: it really ebbs and flows. Most days much more ACC. Every once in a while, much more videogames.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? hmm, nothing specific is coming to mind at the moment, but I'm sure if something did it would be in the department of some ridiculous user ticket situation shared among staff, which I wouldn't end up being able to discuss here anyway.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
It's totally dependent on the specifics of the ticket situation. Most of the time I feel pretty neutral, like I'm sending a minor infraction warning to remind everyone to keep our community running smoothly. In more serious cases, especially when it's a first time offense, I feel more like an intervening counselor who's trying to help someone get back on track. And then in the chronic repeat offender cases, especially the worst ones who are flagrantly breaking rules, causing harm, and being rude with staff about it, I'm like "good riddance!" or "hah! gotcha again, sucka!"
Are you as busy as people think you are?
In terms of my online time, I probably use the computer and the internet alot less than people here expect I am. In terms of whether I'm "busy" during my offline time, I'm probably a lot less busy on most days than people imagine me to be.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? Just be yourself, behave like the ACC citizen you want to be, and if you're the type we're looking for, one day it'll just happen. Seriously!
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
Well I've seen some pretty bizarre behavior as a Mod that I would have never thought possible, most of which is not of the sort of content I can specifically discuss, but which usually involves someone very elaborately going through a ridiculous amount of effort to deceive others and pretend to be people who they are not, sometimes with people they know in real life. But as for personal bizarre experiences, I once got a really bizarre "threatening" PT from some person I'd never met or spoke to ever and I was just like "wow, that person is really odd!! What the heck?"
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
It'll be 2 years come the end of this July.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC?
Absolutely, just like life there is always something to be learned.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
Well, there are very few staff and former staff that I wouldn't want to greet and chat with. Probably first would be VK and cmh, since I've already met them in real life and would recognize them most easily. After that I'd probably first try and properly introduce myself to Zwaalie and herd2001, Essie, SmilnJenn, iolite, & gggtownresident, who I've gotten to know fairly well online by now. Oh and lukieboy and fensti, and that guy who's online name I can't remember but whose real name I know who reminds me of my brother in law... and... I'm sure I'm forgetting someone in that list (so don't cry, people! I'm just absentminded, and also can't include everyone!), and I'd pretty much want to meet everybody first, so probably for real I'd just meet whoever was happening to be standing in front of me...
If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? Aaaah! Um... Yeah, like happypippi, I'd probably run over to Facebook to see if anyone knew what was going on. If it never existed... Wow... Well, I'd probably get more work done on my political philosophy short course... Other than that, I guess I'd spend more time reading, or possibly playing another game (I can't see myself so interested though).
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? I'd definitely say ACC. I get very limited access to my TV, so most times the Wii or other TV based games are out. But I do try to get a little go for WiiFit, AC:GC and AC:CF once in a while. DS I'll play now and then, but I definitely spend way more time on ACC.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? Funniest moment... I can't think... More interesting, odd, strange, touching moments on ACC...
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? It really depends. Usually it's something small that the offender really doesn't care about, or, as I would hope, will just take it as a lesson and learn not to do it. On the other hand, like happypippi said, there are some that are just constantly breaking rules, so I don't feel so bad. I'm still a very new mod though, so I'd say my experience of these cases of "Gotcha!" are far more vague than the more experienced mods who have dealt with those members far more than I have.
Are you as busy as people think you are? I would say no. There are times I'm just going through my PT box and I'll come across a message that has "I know you're probably really busy right now, so take your time." and it's not really that true. I do spend quite a bit of time trying to do modly stuff, and as most people who know me will know, I belong to quite a few giveaways, which keep me busy for quite a bit of my time, and mean I gain PTs very quickly. But I'm very determined that I make sure I still get to use some of my ACC time to answer PTs, respond to BTs, post on forum games (number resetting!) and browse the boards finding things to post on, so even my ACC time gets to be split somewhat into relaxing and chatting as well as giveaway/mod stuff. Real life wise, I'm really not that busy at all at the moment, having had a year out of study and having little work, though I expect that to change after the summer.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? 100% agree with happypippi on being yourself. It sounds like something people say a lot when giving advice for pretty much everything, but it's true. For one, you're probably not going to be very happy acting different from who you are to get somewhere, and chances are, the acting isn't going to work anyway. Just relax, be yourself and enjoy the community, post on things that interest you and have fun.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? I have to say that birthday movement headed by Alex (Cyartia) was pretty bizarre when I logged on to see 124 people being me for my birthday... Really, really awesome, but really bizarre.
How long have you been on ACC Staff? Since June 3rd 2010, soooo 14 days/two weeks.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? Yeah, probably. I'm sure I'm still coming across details I'd overlooked before. As for the staff side of ACC, I'm DEFINITELY learning, considering how new I am to all this! But yeah, there are times I go to the Site Support board and actually flag a topic to see what someone else will answer because I genuinely don't know. Those who have sent me PTs will probably also know that I'm very unsure about things.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? What a mean question! I'd love to talk to any of them... I've had great conversations with many of the other staff, so I'd talk to anyone I saw.
If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
If ACC got deleted from the web, like other staffers have said, I'd be on facebook or sign into a chat program and try to get ahold of other staff to find out what's going on. If AC games never existed, I'd probably be involved in some other forum or really bored with not having ACC around. I have to say finding AC and then finding ACC has been a great experience in my video gaming life. I never imagine I would stick around a website for so long and learned from and met such interesting, great people in giveaways, on staff and just in crossing paths on the boards.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
I'm on ACC more. I have the window open most days when I'm at work and check in when I come out of the lab. I haven't gotten any new games for the consoles so I haven't been palying video games. Not unless you count Facebook games. I've been obsessed with a few of those for a few months now and play them daily. Right Cafe World buddies?
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
I'm a very serious person so I don't have funny moments Kidding! I can't say I really remember any funny moments from me. One time I nominated someone for a staff position and I was reminded that they had already been on staff and recently resigned. That was both funny and embarassing.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
As other mods have stated before, it really depends on the situation. If it is a repeat offender I really don't have any qualms about sending a notification. For new time offenders I think of it as sending them a reminder message about a certain rule. Hopefully they receive it that way and know what to try avoid doing in the future. Bans are a diferent matter. Bans are never given lightly so members that have receive bans have earned them for very good reasons. For members that really cause a lot of trouble on the site it can be quite satisfying to give a ban. I especially get an, "Aha! I gotcha!" moment when I've figured out a difficult multiple account ticket. Other times I feel justified in sending a ban for an accumulation of violations and explain that to the member who receives the ban. And there are rare times when you feel a bit sad to have to give a ban but due to the rules and guidelines we have as a staff the ban can't be avoided. It all comes down to the circumstances of whatever ticket I'm dealing with.
Are you as busy as people think you are?
I think my online life is really busy. I have many unread PTs in my inbox and some I only get to once a week if that. From my staff duties to my involvement with ACME giveaway and my real life job, I don't have a lot of time to keep up with BTs. Sorry to those that I'm in but haven't posted in. I prefer one on one chat via PT and I try to keep up with those as much as possible. Other online interests include my facebook games and catching up with foreign shows through youtube and dailymotion etc. I also have my weekly shows to watch on the DVR so I don't have enough hours in the week to try and catch up with everything. I fee llke I'm always behind on things but I probably have more time than I think I have. Did any of that make sense?
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
I have to echo what has already been said. Be yourself. If you actively pursue a staff job it is in all likliehood going hurt your chances overalll. Beside that, I'd advise anyone and everyone to treat others on this site as you'd like to be treated. Be respectful of others and their opinions, try and be a part of the community wether that is working in giveaways, writing fan fics, playing/creating forum games, making patterns etc. Be a good citizen and surely someone will take notice and think, "Hey, he/she would make a good staff member" and you may find an invitation to join the staff in your PT inbox.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
Can't say I've experienced anything bizarre. Anything bizarre I've seen would have to been during my time as a mod. Interesting site bugs or things we can't explain.
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
3.5 years and counting
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC?
Sure. Eventhough I'm one of the more veteran mods on the team there is still stuff I don't know about the site and things I have to ask others if they know about. That's the beauty of this site is that you can still learn things about it.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
I'd chat it up with everyone eventually. I've met five staffers IRL so those are the ones I'd probably hang out with most at a reunion. I'd first make a beeline to Essie and then Zwaalie (miss you!). Really great ladies and they're so cool. I'd chat it up with lukieboy, cmh and happypippi too since I've met and hung out with them. cmh is full of stories and happypippi is sorta zen and down to earth cool. Lukieboy likes to play quiet but I think he was on his best behavior when we hung out in London. As for those I only know online, I would really love to hang out with other cool ones like LadyKathryn, BonnieH, Jedi723 and CrazyOldLady. I'd also like to see the man behind that Dalek armor

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
I would first let out a Darth Vader “Nooo!” and then try to figure out what happened. Oh man, it’s hard to say. I’d still be gaming of course but I really don’t know what I would be doing online. Not really sure if another site would have nudged me out of my shell or not.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
Well it really depends on what games I’m playing. If for example a new Pokemon game was just released than I definitely be gaming more, however when the gaming front is quite I’m probably on ACC more.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
That would have to go to late night ACCing with friends. I probably laughed the hardest at some late night discussions of infomercials. Good times!
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
Well it really varies case by case. When someone is doing something deliberate and you’re able to put a stop to it, there’s a certain satisfaction there that perhaps you’ve done a little something to make the community better. Most of the time though it’s really a kind of neutral feeling like Pippi says.
Are you as busy as people think you are?
When I’m on ACC, then yes I’m usually pretty busy and seem to be playing catch up in a lot of areas. Offline, well sometimes yes but oftentimes I’m probably not nearly as busy as people assume.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
Keep following the rules and lead by example.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
Definitely the “Dancing Bananas”. A close second we be the great Avatar change, it was weeks of not knowing who was who.
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
If memory serves it was last fall, so less than a year.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC?
Without a doubt! There’s really a ton of stuff out there to learn about.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
I’d probably look for those I’ve known the longest first but like everyone else is saying I’d want to meet them all!
Signature-------------- When all else fails... "Do a barrel roll!" "Made it in time, now why would you think to say something like that?"
If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
I'd have to agree with everyone here and say I'd go to facebook and talk to everyone there and help figure out why ACC went poof. If AC games didn't exist, I'd probably be less involved with video games overall, since AC:WW was my main incentive for getting a DS. I would also probably be spending a lot less time online. Instead, I may be working on artwork more, reading, thinking of writing random short stories... or anything besides ACC.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
I am also on ACC more. Sometimes the TV with the Wii is being watched or my sister's already playing it. Since it's downstairs, I can't play it later at night. I haven't played too much with my DS lately since I've started lifeguarding again but I still have my plans for new patterns in AC:WW all ready to go. It's just easier for me to go on ACC or online since I have my own laptop and our router is always on.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
Oh, there's been plenty, but nothing that comes out right on top for me. I'm the type of person that, once you get to know me, you see my funny side, but normally situations don't call for that side. I've had several adoptions that may have cracked me up, but unfortunately I can't go into those details. The best chats tend to be ones where I'm tired and not entirely aware, or late night ones in general. BTs can also get pretty hilarious.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
Normally I don't have problems sending the occasional ticket to the mods because it's not my fault that people didn't look over the rules or forgot one. Also, like Dusty said, if they deliberately did it or if it was personal (such as directly flaming me), I definitely don't have a problem sending in a ticket.
Are you as busy as people think you are?
Sometimes... it fluctuates. Now that it's summer, I have more freetime overall, and can stay up later at night. Right now I have no problems juggling lifeguarding several hours per weekday, an online college class, and ACC. When I'm online, I'm always multitasking- it comes to me naturally and it's the best way for me to get things done. When I am in college, obviously schoolwork and swim team responsibilities come first, but as I've found this past year, it didn't seriously impact my time and I had plenty of extra time to take care of adoptees and giveaway jobs. Adoptees don't take a lot of time to take care of, and I use spare time to just venture out and enjoy ACC's boards (beyond the Giveaways board)
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
I would say to not always beg or ask for a position on staff - that's a main deterrent. Also, I especially agree with "being yourself", since it should come to you naturally. Let your good points shine out and help out around the site when you can, whether it be sending in notifications or joining giveaways. Staff do notice potential members and can bring them under consideration for a staff position. You may not feel like you are being noticed, but there's always that possibility that you really are.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
No specific event or happening comes to mind, but when ACC is being buggy/glitchy, things can get interesting.
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
1.5 years and counting, woohoo!
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC?
Definitely yes. I always have to check around the boards for the correct guides for adoptees; that's my main case for learning since there's many of them and I don't always remember exactly where they are.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
Oh man, I'd love this! I haven't had the opportunity to meet any staffers in RL (yet...). I'd probably talk to Irr_Ational, SmileNJenn, CrazyOldLady, Arwen, Cielmer3, blizfan, Essie, and ZacharyTheOwl first because they've helped with some RL issues and have really supported me on and off the site, and I'd love to thank them personally. happypippi, Zwaalie, ManekiNeko, Mamanator, LadyKathryn, iolite, Squirrelzan, VenusKamal, and probably others that I'm forgetting have also been/are great friends and have helped me in the past with ACC things and an occasional RL thing (and also deserve a thanks for dealing with me). I'd have to agree with VK - I want to see who this Dalek guy really is...

How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? I don't see much rule breaking, at least around me. If I do and report, I don't feel bad. Are you as busy as people think you are? Not at all, if I'm bust it amounts to me working on graphics for SIC related stuff.

Not really, I learn something new once in awhile, but for the most part I think I've seen it all. If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? I'd probably jump in around the scout area, more of them are around my age.

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
"If ACC got deleted from the web, I would cry. No joke. I cried when JUG left and I'd cry when ACC leaves. But luckily, with AC:3DS, it won't happen anytime soon. But yeah, then I'd check Facebook for any updates and we'd all be ragging on jader to fix it. And accusing the admins that one of them pressed the big red button that clearly says "DO NOT TOUCH". I'd probably be still hooked on Neopets."
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
"ACC! I'm upstairs in my room, away from the Wii, so I don't get onto it as much."
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
"Funniest?...I don't know. Probably one of the times my friends and I were hyper and kept doing crazy things."
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
"I hate it when I ban someo- Oh wait, I'm a Scout. As for sending in reports, I don't have a problem with sending in one."
Are you as busy as people think you are?
"Yes. YES. I am. I have been doing everything from ACME (which takes longer then you think) to school to ACC updates to reading to WiiFit. I'm busy."
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
"When I got the invite to become a staff member, I didn't even really realize that there was a staff on ACC. I never ventured beyond the JUG Giveaway threads, and I just enjoyed helping people there. So just keep enjoying ACC. And don't let us from not choosing you keep you from helping."

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? I'd be doing real life activities instead, like Titan. I have no interest in any other forum.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? ACC, because I am usually on it skimming PTs while on facebook/youtube/random stuff.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? Oh, wow, I dunno. There have been a lot, way too many! A lot definitely involved diva_dancer_77, ZacharyTheOwl and Septer.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? I don't feel bad sending notifications. I mean, hopefully they'll learn from them and it'll help it not happen again. I see notifications as little pokes saying "Hey! You're not allowed to do that here, sorry bud." So no, I don't feel bad.
Are you as busy as people think you are? Yeah. I have running practice every day after school, plus homework and all that jazz. When I'm on ACC I'm usually multitasking.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? It's fine to aspire, but my experience on staff has taught me that it's not what's it's cracked up to be. After a while, you realize that the icon and avatar don't matter to you anymore. You're sticking around because you get to help out. For those who want to help out, you most certainly don't have to be on staff to be a helpful member!
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? Baha. So many. Way too many. This was quite odd. Wait til you find out who sent it to me.
How long have you been on ACC Staff? Since December 1st, 2008, so that is one and a half years.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? For sure! I'll admit that I am unsure about a few things around here. Like the trading post and stuff like that can be a little fuzzy, things I am not actively involved in.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? Probably the Scouts since they're around my age, but other than that, I think I'd recognize Mow and ask her how Nick is doing or something.

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? I'd be very sad. D: I'd probably still play AC games, and probably stay online on Facebook/Twitter/Youtube and stuff; although perhaps for not as long as I do now.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? ACC definitely. I'd like to play videogames more, but I'm too busy on ACC. XD
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? Can't think of one at the moment....
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? I agree with Ryan, I never feel too bad; unless it's someone I know well, but that doesn't mean it's still wrong.
Are you as busy as people think you are? I'm not sure; I can get quite busy at times, but that's usually due to my compulsive need to have all my PTs read and click on them everytime there's a post; I'm getting better.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? Help out how you can already; don't try badly to become a member of the Staff; it's more hard work that it sounds. If you're the right person for the job, you should be noticed.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? Can't think of one at the moment again. XP
How long have you been on ACC Staff? One year in September 2010.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? Probably similar to Ryan; things that were around on ACC before my time (ACGC and the trading post) and things that I'm not involved or experienced in too.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? Probably the UK Scouts and Staff, then the rest of them. I don't know why, but I'd probably feel more comfortable around people my age and with similar accents.

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? If ACC got deleted from the web, I'd ask who threw the ball behind the fridge again... I'd then find out what went wrong and see if we could fix it. If it was permanent, then I would try to just keep in touch with everyone via other means. If AC and ACC never existed, I would probably be on another forum somewhere, still playing Nintendo games.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? I'd have to say ACC more. I tend to like to play video games for long periods, so unless I have a lot of time to play, then I don't. Though I am on ACC most mornings.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? I guess I have a few, I think that being a part of this crew of staff has it's funny moments, as well as being apart of some wonderful BT's.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? If people break the rules, they get a notification, it's all part of the responsibility of being a staff member. I don't really feel anything when I ban or send them.
Are you as busy as people think you are? How busy do people think I am? I guess being SM they probably do, but I don't think that I am as busy as they think I am.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? Don't try too hard, we can spot people that are just in it for the privileges. We like members that are genuinely willing to help, and would mind if they didn't have the benefits of being staff.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? There has been some strange PT's sent my way. Let's just say that.
How long have you been on ACC Staff? I was scouted on the 12th December 2003.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? Yes. ACC and being on the staff is always a learning experience.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first? Since I have been here longer than most, and this is a reunion of all former staff (well it is now) I'd go and talk to the likes of Jedi723, partyp00per, BlueSpeckledFroggy, Belay Dog, all the old hands that I learnt from. BonnieH and Zwaalie are good friend too. I'd finally make my way around and meet all the rest of the mods and scouts.

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
If ACC got deleted from the web, I would be spending a WHOLE lot more time on AIM talking to all the ACC members I have listed as contacts on there. If AC games never existed, I would probably be helping out on a MK forum instead.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
I go on ACC more. I actually hardly ever play video games any more.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
Funniest moment... well, the first one to pop into my head was Townie's response to the TIC birthday movement. I thought that was pretty funny.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
I tend not to feel bad when I send a notification because it's usually just for small things like spamming or mass notification PT's.
Are you as busy as people think you are?
No. I spread ACC work out throughout the week.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
I would suggest reading the ACC FAQ first and then secondly, not trying to hard.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
My most bizarre experience was when someone on the SIC asked me who I was and how did I get the Scout badge even though I had been staff for a couple of months.
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
10 months and 1 day.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC
Definitely. I was a very unobservant person when I first joined ACC and had no idea what was going on unless it was spoken about within the BT's I was in.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
I'm not familiar with the old staff, so I would talk to the current staff first, making a beeline for Derie (aldericon). I would also talk to Cie (Cielmer3... his accent is so cool!!!), Townie (gggtownresident) and some of my other close staff friends. After talking to the scouts who are around my age, I would talk to the admins because well, who wouldn't and Mamie (Mamanator) and Manie (ManekiNeko).

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead? Probably, do the same stuff I do outside of the web, but maybe spend more time on social networking sites. I don't really think I would have joined another game's forum.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more? Sadly, lately, they're about even (not much). I'd probably have to say ACC though since I've been traveling a lot and can't carry around my Wii console.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC? Hmm there's a bunch, but I liked when someone pretended there was a wedding going on between me and Mark1119.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually? This is more of a mod question, but I usually report minor stuff, and if it's a little major, I have the proof right in front of me that this person violated a rule, so usually I don't feel that bad about it.
Are you as busy as people think you are? YES. And even busier. I'd like to switch lives with people and see if they could handle the crazyness of my life.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help? Have fun, get involved, help out!
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC? The whole staff experience...? They're crazy people.
How long have you been on ACC Staff? It'll be 4 years in Novemeber!
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC? Yes! With updates and everything there's still a lot to learn.

If ACC got deleted from the web, what would you do? If Animal Crossing games never existed (so this site would probably never exist) what would you all be doing instead?
I'd do a double-take at my computer screen. Since I don't keep in contact with most ACCers outside of ACC, I'd probably be in a pickle with the communications factor. For a few months, I'd still try to check into the site just to see if it were back.
If Animal Crossing and ACC were to never exist, I'd probably be more active on other forums like GameInformer and the Nintendo Tech Support Forums. I'd still be a Nintendo gamer, but I wouldn't be getting my daily doses of Animal Crossing and ACC.
Do you go on acc more, or do you play video games more?
That's hard to say. I probably spend my time playing video games more, honestly. A lot of the time, I will log into ACC when I'm busy playing a game, but will go idle, and will check a few things during breaks between gameplay. Other times, I will just strictly be on ACC, or just strictly be playing a game. They're pretty close, but I feel like video game time just overshadows ACC time, a bit.
What’s your funniest moment on ACC?
So many to think of... Let me just say April Fool's Day 2011.
How do you feel when you send a notification or ban some one? How many violation points you have to handle in a day usually?
I'm not a Moderator...
Are you as busy as people think you are?
It depends on how busy people think I am. Well, I'm usually not that busy, if that answers anything.
What advice would you give to aspiring SIC/Staff members, or those that just want to help?
Be active on the site, have fun, exemplify the spirit of ACC, and the biggest thing: just be yourself.
What is the most bizarre experience you've ever had on ACC?
I guess I will say the April Fool's Day 2011 experience again. That was funny, crazy, and bizarre all at the same time, especially seeing as I was a new staff member at the time.
How long have you been on ACC Staff?
At the time of this posting, it has been seven months, two weeks, and a day.
Would you say you’re still 'learning' about ACC?
Sure. I learn new things about the site and the AC games on a regular basis.
If the ACC Staff all had a Staff Reunion, who would you talk/hang-out with first?
hoggle, and then I'd probably move on to some of the Staff I pretty much idolized when I first joined the site, like Jedi723, Belay Dog, Highguy7612, and others... I'd eventually make my rounds to everybody.
