My name is Q and I'd like to nominate myself for the Livejournal Advisory Board.
I'm 25 and live in Switzerland - please excuse any English mistakes, this is not my native language!
I've been on LJ since 2002 and it's one of the very few sites that I stayed registered with for such a long time. (And I've had access to the internet for 15 year by now.) Naturally this means the site and my journal means a lot to me but since
A little bit about me:
LJ can adapt to your life just the way your life changes ever so often. Over the past few years I've been using LJ in many ways and always found a way to reflect me and my life trough it all. This being said I'm part of many fandoms and have created some successful communities in that regard when I have fallen for something new.
But fandom is not all I care about, I'm just as interested in what's going on with LJ itself. So I also help out with some LJ oriented communities and have created a community for LJ's scrapBook since LJ closed the 'official' community.
As you can guess, I'm using my scrapBook and I love it! I love photography and getting free storage space with my perm account = brilliant! But fandom and photography is not all that my life is made of but I always find a way to incorporate new things into my journal or into the way I use LJ and I think it's just that which makes LJ such a great place!
Why I think I would make a good member:
Running a community with a lot of members is hard work. I've been doing that for about 3 years now and the most important part of making this right is always having an open discussion first with your co-mods to see what they think and once you have reached a decision you see how the community feels about it.
Now my community with 5000 members is of course just a small dot in the world of LJ but it gives a good taste on what things might be like. I also understand that sometimes it might be impractical to run every decision by the community but I guess that's what the Advisory Boars is for now, right? (HA! LJ totally stole that idea from me when I suggested we get 'advising moderators' for one of my comms! :-p)
With all this being said, I will always fight for what I think is the right thing to do for the users, not for the money makers. And being a fandom-person, you can also be sure that you have my understanding as well!
Thank you!
P.S. Now comes the grueling decision of which icon to use!
Being past 100 votes now, I wanted to thank everyone who commented! (There are some muffins over at my journal for all of you :-p)
