I chuckled.

Besides, I was wondering if I could help you lot out with testing new mods, as I'm thinking of making a move into the game industry.
You don't understand. Basically, what you just said is, "Can I have whatever wads you are working on early?". Do you know how to make levels/characters/SOCs/graphic replacements/etc. and know C++ enough to edit the source code? If not, then you probably aren't moving anywhere, dude. To move into the gaming industry, you need to take courses. You can't just download skill off of a website (not to mention Sonic Team Jr. is composed of a team of a few people, that have been working on this since 1996(?) or even earlier, so first you would need to be trusted, and by saying "can i be a beta tester even though i have no idea what the hell im supposed to be testing").

And by being a member of Sonic Team Jr. would be the first step. I might not get any further than that, but IF I do, I will use my skills to make the games you have EVEN BETTER! But it's up to the owners if they want me as part of Sonic Team Jr, and I will respect their desision, if it's to let me in as a member of them, or if I am denied. But I would feel much happier if it's yes - but I won't go mental if it's a no.
Also, this sounds like "oh can i be an admin for no reason". You just come up randomly (seriously, you joined a day ago) and say "can i be one of the creators of srb2 even though i havent even done any editing or even have been here for that long". Just because you were some Administrator/Moderator somewhere else doesn't mean you automatically become one at every other forum, because it isn't hard to just make your own invisionfree or phpbbforfree forum, and make yourself the "global admin". Next, I want to talk about these so called skills that you have. Where are they? You haven't made anything, and I doubt you know anything about making a simple wad.
I also love how you said you will make their games better. How?
You just joined a day ago. Even if you've been playing it for a long time, it doesn't mean you're some sort of master of it. You expect them to just make you one of the creators? The owners' decisions are most likely going to be no, and you better respect their decision and explanation of why you're being an idiot right now. Read back. Honestly. Do you think what you want to happen is going to come true? You are not going to be a part of Sonic Team Jr.! Maybe if you contribute (heavily of course, bug fixes, wads, etc.) for a couple of years, but most likely not. Also, of course you'll love if it's a yes because, it's automatic credit for you. So far, what have you done to help? Nothing. (I noticed that you tried to be reasonable and try to act noble about how you said it (IE, when you want to go home sick, you don't say, "I think I need to go home, I don't feel well", you say, "Well I don't really want to go home, but I don't feel well enough to continue, so I don't know what I should do")).
A couple of things I need to ask.
- What makes you think just asking, "oh can I be an admin" will make you become one? Seriously, you asked if you could have free creditability within the creation of SRB2, to be an administrator here (the entire staff has administrator status), and if you can have wads that are in development, early.
- How old are you? If you are under the age of 18, I highly doubt you're going to get anywhere, especially because you have to take classes for game development.
- Did you read this fully/without skimming through it? If you didn't, you aren't mature enough, responsible enough, sensible enough, and not trustworthy enough. Seriously man, if you give me any response without reading the damn message, then don't talk to me, and don't ask for free stuff. Got it?
That's all I have to say, and let me just say this;
You pretty much ruined my good mood. Thanks.
