How old are you? (this question is optional): 19
You've been a member for how long: since last January ^-^ one whole year with chicken smoothie!
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I'm am on everyday to check my pets and threads that i participate in. Usually i spend between 2 and 8 hours active on chicken smoothie, though i have it on whenever my computer is on (which is all the time ) As my university work and such is more computer based i have a lot of access.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: I feel that i could answer most questions easily, i hang out in the forums a lot and see the mods and other friendly members being helpful. I have learnt a lot since i started here and would like to have the opportunity to help others learn too.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yes i do. Im a rather patient person and it takes a fair bit to get my back up.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I was helped a lot when i came to the forums, i would love the opportunity to help other new users. I can't stand going onto threads and seeing how user's who don't know better get treated. We were all new at one point, a fact i think some of the more aggressive members seem to forget. I like meeting new people and i think this gives new users the chance to not only get help but to make some friends too. Helping chicken smoothie a friendlier place to be.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: No i haven't, but i'm willing to learn and I'm keen to help make chicken smoothie a better place, the way i remember it.
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: Chicken Guides XD Smoothie Buddies, Smoothie support tea. i'll work on it

[Cottleston]

How old are you? (this question is optional): 13.

You've been a member for how long: Since October 08, so... a year and 3-4 months.

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: 2- 3 hours every week day, longer on weekends.

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: I beleive I do.

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: Yes :3

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
I see so many people getting angry at Newbies for... Being new. Of course when you start a new site, you're not immediately gonna know everything. You're not going to know the rarities of pets, and what is a fair trade and what isn't. You're not going to know what forum to post in.

I think this is a great idea which would really benefit CS, and I'd love to give something back to a site I love so much. I'm not in it for benefits or customs (even if there were any involved XD), I simply want to help this site grow and be a more friendly place for everyone.

Any Newbie, with friendly help, could "grow up" to be a wonderful, helpful and beneficial member of CS. That's why I'd love to take this opportunity to be a help to this site.

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: No, but everyone has to start somewhere XD

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: I think Newbie- Helper is pretty good, maybe Newbie- Sitter or something XD

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: Because Id like to meet new people on here and leave a position mark on the CS community.

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: yeah, i have gotten to know the rules of each section of the forums well enough.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: yeah, I'm pretty use to it in school.

I have a good temper to handle different questions. Plus I'm active enough on here, so if anyone ever needs help, I'll most likely be online and ready to help out as much as i can.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: Sadly no, i normally make my own roleplays from time to time, though i don't think that actually counts. :<

How old are you? (this question is optional):13
You've been a member for how long:Around 1 1/2 to 2 years.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: 4-5 days a week for a couple of hours
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:Yes, and some more difficult questions
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:Yes, and I will try and make sure the answer is thoroughly understood
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:Because I enjoy helping people and I think that if more newbies actually understood this site, less would quit. Plus, it's not fair if people that are new get yelled at just because nobody took the time to help them.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link:No
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: NHinc? Like Newbie-Helper incorporated? or something like that

[Tammanae]

How old are you? (this question is optional):
22 years old.
You've been a member for how long:
A year now.
How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?:
To be honest with you, I am not entirely sure. I tend to be on at the very least four hours a day though.
Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?:
I believe so.
Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?:
Yes I do.
Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?:
I wish to help newbies out because I have seen so many of them been given the 'noob' treatment, something that I do not particularly like. People flame newcomers for asking questions that true, may be perfectly normal for us, but for someone new and probably young it may need a bit of coaxing to help get to the right direction.
Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link:
In forums itself no. I have had experience in a Guild in Gaiaonline, being a Vice Captain, in which I mostly deal with pointing out newbies to where they must go and whom to contact for certain things. =3

Here is the link to the guild, although I think it is not open to the public...
Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?:
Transit Arrows? No I kid. I think Newbie-Helper about sums it up.

[Turq8]

How old are you? (this question is optional): 12 (almost 13, but please don't judge me by my age)

You've been a member for how long: Since the 22nd of October 2009, so a little more than 3 months, but I feel I have the experience of someone who has been here for 6 months, maybe even more!

How much time do you spend on CS in the average day/week?: I spend around 5 hours a day on week days, and 8+ on the weekends. So total that is 40+ hours a week.

Do you feel you know CS well enough to answer all the common questions?: I feel like I do, as I constantly stalk the help board and answer questions where I can. I also try to stay up to date on all the rules.

Do you have the patience to deal with stupid questions being asked over and over?: I can be very patient and understanding with people, and I try to help out where I can. I am pretty good at explaining things.

Why do you want to be a newbie-helper?: I want to be a newbie- helper because I was a newbie not too long ago, and I had to figure out everything by myself. I still remember trying to figure out how to get my pets on the forum and where everyone was getting "fursonas" (I finally figured it out). I would like to give people the chance to try work things out themselves, but if they can't, help them work it through, instead of yelling at them for being stupid because they can't figure out how to post a pet on the forums or just telling them where to go for that one time. I could correspond through a series of PMs instructing them or tell them step by step on the topic where they asked the question (Instead of saying "Go to the UCP, find profile, and you can change your siggie there." It would be more like "At the top of this page, right under 'Board Index' do you see where it says 'User Control Panel?' Click that. Then find 'Profile.' It is the second tab on the top. From there, click the second button from the top on the left navigation area. You can change your signiture there.")I also feel like I already help newbies, and even became friends with some of them, because sometimes I post saying welcome, and tell them to pm me if they have any questions. I have a group just for free pets for newbies too. Even if I am not chosen for this important job, I will keep welcoming newcomers to our site!

Have you ever had moderating experience on any forums if so please post a link: I am currently modding here (Blossomwolf's site) but the site hasn't quite taken off yet, so I don't do much. Mostly I make suggestions and answer questions.

Do you have any suggestions for the team name (instead of 'Newbie-Helper') xD ?: Support Staff? Maybe Newbie Support Staff? (NSS for short) I'm not super good with names...
