I was just wondering how you become an admin, because if i got the chance, i would like to try it out. If anyone can help me, please step forward.

one doesn't just become an admin. Server administrators/moderators are chosen by the server owner/operator.

Yeah, you don't ask to become an admin. You get invited

I'd recommend that you learn how to be an admin by starting your own server. Once people see you asking _intelligent_ questions, and taking an interest (and being a decent guy on the public servers, of course) you may get an invite. There is no short road.

The last thing this place needs is more servers.

Administrating/Policing a place is more nuisance than fun most of the time. Make friends, play at places often, don't hesitate to talk to people. Earn their trust. Worked for me. I hung around a place, people noticed, talked, and bam. I have more trust placed in me than I probably deserve. Oh well.

Sorry, I should have been more clear. Set up your own private server and learn how it's done. You're right, we do have more than enough public servers.
