I'd guess the best way to become a mod is by proving that you can respond to a thread without "rolling in the mud" (not my qoute). That you have the power to avoid flaming those that flame you. Above all can state your opinions without putting down others opinins, even as go as far as making sure that people understand you are open to everyone elses.
Oh and possibly helping the mods monitor the forums for flame threads, misplaced threads, spammers, etc via PM. But its hard to know who is watching and who isn't...sneaky ninjas.
