As people have stated here previously (and in several other threads before that, we still got the funky little Search thingy up there..), the promotion process is launched manually and ran only like once a month, depending on how often I remember to run the darn script :-)
Senior Members and above are promoted manually, but as the sheer volume is nowadays so goddamn large, it tends to be that typically people with helluvalot posts (helluvalot means in practical terms that I launch a weird little admin tool, select "show only people with member status of Member or below and order them by their post count", and click as many users to Seniors as have energy to do ;-). For AfterDawn Addicts, it was actually pretty much created for two people -- Oriphus and Dela -- we didn't have a need for more mods back that time, but it felt silly to have guys with almost 10,000 posted messages to have the same status as guys with 400 or so messages.
For mods, we have promised and planned and god(s)know(s)what to cherry-pick 1-4 users "by the beginning of the summer" in order to promote them to mods. But then again, I'm lazy. I have two kids. I have a "real life job". And again, I'm lazy...
Anyway, the idea is/was/still is to change the moderation system ever so slightly and allocate one or more mods to be "responsible" for each forum room -- as now every mod is just a mod and there aren't any allocations that mod X should be responsible for room Z. This obviously means that the further mod selection is also based on the needs of particular forum room -- if DVDR forum room/s have enough mods, there's no point to promote a user that hangs around 99% of his time in those rooms to become a new mod, when there can be a forum room without an allocated moderator at that time. Obviously some forum rooms don't receive enough posts to justify dedicated mods for them -- yet -- but most of them do nowadays (very, very soon we'll reach the 300,000 msgs milestone in English forums).
Too much text, my head hurts..

Wow only a 300 000 message cut for the English forum. I thought Dela had posted 300 000 on his own. I will have to work harder with Oriphus to get to that limit for you. :P
I am amazed by all the hard work you put in dRD. My Hat off to you.

Thanks fasfrank and Nephilim! Comments like those are a much better reward than being promoted to Senior Member.
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the promotion. Being officially acknowledged as a useful part of this community is always welcome. Besides, now I don't have to answer any more questions about why I'm not a Senior Member. ;-)

Thanks darth! And at the risk of sounding self congratulatory, yes our seniors do rock! I got started here because of a single post by a senior member on IFOEdit and my wife's been trying to pry me away from my DVD burner ever since ;-)

I got started here with a newbie post, if sharpies were ok on discs. I answered that same question six times that same day, and after watching and reading the stuff here for over a month. I just needed to get connected. Now I am almost an addict, but don`t post nearly as much as I used to.

hehe, no worries man. every senior we have should scream as loud as they can "we f*cking rock!!" because you do, every damn one of you. There's a reason you guys were hand picked, it aint like it just randomly happens. Mods and other seniors throw the names around till an admin or Da Boss notices. plus we also have a promotion request thread in the mod lounge. so yes, be damn proud of what you are. :)
