Yesterday I got an email from a fairly large online gaming company's Community Director. ( I play 1 of their games )
Since I do occasionally check the discussion forums for the game, and participate, frequently helping other players with answers to their questions, [ weird, some of them been playing the game far longer than me and I can answer their questions ;) ] He actually came after me to become a Moderator for the game's board.
Now I'm the Game board Admin and moderator, the only one, for a game that has 5 servers and 250,000+ players.
ok, only about 5000 active players but still.
