HI all zbdgoers!! yall may or may not have noticed ive been significantly less active lately, its finals at my university (am a senior) and its just been a rough time for me mental healthwise too. whats even worse is my poor, sweet, real life actual ZeekBook on which zbd was born (my laptop computer) is in critical condition at the computer hospital rn, and so that has rapidly tanked my ability to use this forum like usual 
appreciate every one of you for keeping the forum alive and active tho, and i will start prioritizing it again as soon as this rough patch is over! still have very high hopes for this forum
in the meantime, im gonna finally open staff applications for any of you who think you could do a good job maintaining this forum in my absence + as long in the future as you'd want to! i was originally going to reach out to several of the most active users privately before going public with the apps, but i only managed to talk to one person (viscera) before running out of steam and getting distracted with irl stuff again -____-
my current idea/plan is to have 2 types of staff for the site: administrators to help me keep the forum functioning (pin/move threads, direct new users with questions, etc), and moderators to help me out in assuring people follow the (very basic and minimal) site rules, preventing harrassment etc.
(also would love suggestions on fun object show pun names for the group names. maybe "co-host" and "assistant"? idk i cant think of anything better rn)
neither of these positions will require particular vigilance or responsiblity to the forum, and anyone is free to step down from them at any point!! all i ask is that you continue to use the site as normal, come to me and other staff in the board with thoughts and concerns, and be responsible enough to not abuse these powers. i love the idea of this site, but i really cannot run it all on my own!
if you wanna apply to any of these positions, or think you could do something else for this forum that i havent even thought of, send me a pm! just say what position youd want, and why you think youd do a good job/why you care about zbd in the first place XD
as always, pls put any thoughts and concerns in the replies to this thread! i love you all, thank you for making zbd so great!!!
