    To be a GM or Admin you need to live in the San Fransico Area and have the correct certifications.

    Try the search function, I think they were asked about this few times, or subjects related to this.

    The GM's work in a actual building in California, to my belief. The moderators are the only ones that works in their own home computer, but their jobs are voluntary and not paid and only gain power on the PWI forums.

    Note: To all the following Jobs Other then the one your Looking at...that are posted, Your qualification are at at a below minimal standard atm...Currently you stand at a high school level if i am correct.

    Those who want to basically wish to apply for the positions for working with PWI, All Positions State you MUST at least have a Bachelors Degree In the Computer Science Field or Graphical Designing, or nearly same experience...recommended 3 years worth. Now a Bachelors in this Field ( Which I am Currently Doing) costs About 2-5k Per Semester Plus Additional Books another 400-800$ now times it by 3 years and basically if all that hard work that your doing is worth it then go ahead and apply :)

    So My advise...Stay In school, Take Computer Programing Class's in your High school and TRY to get a scholarship, this way it pays off a bit and then you can start working for the game you like to play ;)

    Basically All the answer is on the link Provided By our fellow PWI player chesticles..

    P.S. to Recruitt , Even thou I aint a GM, I am a University Student and its pretty much the same thing almost I believe a GM would say above...

    SO like i said Study hard and try your best..maybe in 4 years or If your lucky Sooner you might be able to play the game and work for it. ( P.S.S take CPSC courses in your university...U'll need it)

    Anyways Spoons I hope This Helps you out a bit :P

    lol, nice sarcastic remark, but alas with his spelling mistakes, and grammar errors I'd say he still has a little bit more to go, before he really is ready to preform at a standard level (educational wise) of a Mod.

    Keep at it and Keep trying :)b:victory

    Sniper xD, Maybe if you sent them your resume instead of Nagging then they might beg you to Join there team (Joking of course)

    How ironic that people would point out the flaws in other people's grammar - whilst their own post is just as flawed.

    This thread has had plenty of replies that nicely answer the OP's questions, so I'm closing this before it goes down the ol' off-topic road the last thread on this subject went.
