I think I should ask a mod or ioi

Very carefully.

Usuaully people's names will suddenly turn red followed by a thread from ioi along the lines of, "I've selected some new mods. Deal with it, bitches." 

I think that I would be interested in being one if ioi thinks I meet the criteria

Write interesting articles on how the console market is changing. Do an analysis on console sales last year compared to the previous. Go to a gaming conference and interview developers in the name of vgchartz and post about it...

Basically contribute something to the website other then the regular fanboyish stuff we usually write about.

Previous round of mod announcements where chosen based on their views towards consoles. The point was to have a fair representation of each console ex. SSJ12 i- PC mod, Roadkiller - PS3 mod, Rocketpig - 360 mod

Last round of mods where chosen by other mods (looks like since SSJ12 comment that he had given ioi's the nomination to both mods announced).

Who knows for the next round...

ioi asked for emails for those who wanted to be mods a long time ago. He picked those he felt would do a good job.

We've had a few votes and ioi has allowed quite a few voted people to be mods as well. Everyone always wanted bodsetheva(can't spell that at all) to be a mod, so now he is.

if i remember correctly you can't be a mod if you've been banned before

@ Gebx: Do we know when the next round of mods will be picked? Also, do you have to do the things you mentioned to become a 'full' mod (as in posting news and stuff) or is that just for a forum moderator (who can warn/ban)?

Wear kneepads.
