Yes. :)

Well, maybe. Many of you may have heard of the Neoseeker Presidential Elections of 2009, I've been accepted to become a candidate in Shane's Party.

God knows what I'm going to do to get through to the next stage, I'm in a party up against the likes of bobbonew and Praetorian_Lord, as well as Angyles and FortePenance. I've only spoke to three of the four, and I'm looking forward to see which of those four pass through the primaries (as I sure won't). Just like Rome, Praetorian_Lord seems a smart man, I believe this will give him the advantage over us, just as Rome did over his fellow primaries party members.

Anyway, I'd appreciate any and all support. During my campaign, I'd like to frequently draw attention to the Site Related and more specifically, forums such as:

• The Site/Forums Help and QA Forum; nearly everyday new members come here and ask for help, normally hoping for a quick response. However, other than a few regular helpers this forum doesn't seem to get as much attention as it should. It's a shame, because questions are asked regularly that aren't hard to answer for us regular Neoseekers but can be tedious to find the answer to for new members.
• The ReQuests, Feedback and Suggestions Forum; this is a forum where members can freely suggest things they'd like to see come up in the forums, a fair amount of the things that make your Neoseeker experience smoother are suggested by members you may come across everyday. Not only can you suggest features for the forums, you can give feedback on suggested ideas that have not yet been implemented, as well as suggestions that have been implemented too. Feel free to also request for things in this forum, which is very similar to suggesting things. This forum may not be severely lacking in activity, but it'd be much appreciated by the staff if more members could suggest the things they'd like to see so making Neoseeker more and more user-friendly is easier.
• The Neoseeker Automated Markup Forum is a forum that I think deserves attention, NAM was originally an Internet Explorer program that helped members write things with markup with ease, which made using the normal posting interface a much less useful thing for NAM users, this was developed by Superfast Oz and Artificer, both well-known and hard-working members. Some point along the line, Superfast Oz backed out of the production of NAM and Artificer eventually moved onto programming and developing NAMFox, which is the same as NAM, but it's a Firefox addon instead; this makes using NAMFox so much easier as it's not seperate from the browser like NAM was. Artificer has poured 400 hours of his life into NAMFox making it as good and helpful as possible, over 100 users use NAMFox and this number is raising, it's now receiving sitewide attention, the updates are now posted as a sitewide announcement and are posted in blogs.

These and the many other forums in the Site Related section are vital parts of Neoseeker, it's these forums that allow members to improve the Neoseeker experience for everyone, moderators, members, staff and admins all post in these forums which creates a helpful environment. I'm campaigning for a more helpful Neoseeker, the majority of you are already very helpful individuals, but for those of you that are not, I'm trying to get you to find the positives of helping and post in such forums and help out around Neoseeker more. I'm standing for a more helpful Neoseeker.

I'm not only standing for a more helpful Neoseeker, I'm also standing for more attention to be paid towards the Special Interests section of Neoseeker, which I will elaborate further within the week when I come across more time to ready my campaign.
