Christina:
“I recall being at AR a year ago, and 42 came to ask if I would like to help him with something. I said sure, and he linked me to the Trade chat. He made me an owner, and told me that it looked like I really wanted to own something. He told me that if this whole chat doesn’t work out the way he expected, don’t be offended. Once the people started coming to the chat, I got overwhelmed. I didn’t know who I should make a moderator, but that got worked out just fine. A year later, Trade is doing just great. I’d like to thank the administrators for giving me such a wonderful chance.
I randomly chose moderators with the help of 42. Only four remain today. They are: Charlie, Brian, Gizzy, and Physical.
With every power, Trade grew, and is still growing very rapidly. It’s hard to believe you could use the Trade engine on day one for days and xats.”
Gold’s recognition statement!
I can’t even recall when Gold first came to Trade. He just seemed to appear one day! I knew that I needed someone in a different time zone to help moderate the chat, and I quickly made him a moderator. As Trade grew, I realized that I needed help managing the chat! With that, Gold became the first owner of Trade in July, 2009. He has great leadership skills and keeps everyone in line.
Gold receives the topman power for being “Trade Enforcer.”
Nitro’s recognition statement!
As time went on, another moderator really stood out to me. He loved helping at Trade, and continues as if it was his own. He helped keep track of members, the trade requirements, and fair trade prices. He kept everyone on track and showed a deep level of care for Trade. He received owner status in October.
Nitro receives the heart power for being “Trades Heart.”
Brandon’s recognition statement!
There was always a certain moderator always willing to help and go above expectations, yet he never asked for anything in return. He is willing to offer suggestions and take criticism.
With his best dedication to Trade, Brandon wins diamond for his shine!
