I know I've only been a member for barely a couple of months, but I wouldn't entirely mind being a mod. I'm only afraid that I might have to balance modding with my art projects. And I do still need to find a job so I can bring in steady income for myself. Still, I would be willing to learn the inner workings of the forum and the wiki if given the time.
I'd just like to say that there is absolutely no harm in applying. Ultimately the decision will lie with the mod team and will have little bearing on the content of the sent application, but moreso on things like activity, contribution and loyalty to the forum.
