Jabba_The_Hunt · July 2003

Keyser · July 2003

Hmm, how much do you get paid per hour? Those are some pretty hefty qualifications. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

Majin · July 2003

We don't get paid in normal money, we get cookies sent to us in the mail.. Well most times just the crumbs, but its worth every minute!

Things like
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Some basic knowledge of php or html
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
Meaning: can you write this post I am writing and use the <i> Word </i> tag and know what your doing to get italics.
or
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Be an Active member of the Natural Selection Forums and other Forums</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
If your reading this, you qualify!
or
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Implement documentation standards for front page News
</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
*Buzz words* example: Don't Post about how you got a new dog on the front page... NO ONE CARES ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL LIFE, post about NS!
or
</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>Contribute each week to the site</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'>
Unlike other NS community Sites, we update every single day, with somehting interesting Most days. we add around 5 posts of news with 2 da 4 new articles or interesting additions. Each week we have a Special Article called a Weeky feature, this is a special Honor to get, think of it as the Front page of a news paper, the staff all trys to get a story worthy of the front page.

We are a great site, and we are a Community site! Its important to remember that we are here for the community and right now with 2.0 comming we are going to need another DEDICATED FULL TIMER like Anti or my Self!

If you can write and love NS and everything about it, contact me or Anti, but we only want a serious person, that is why I posted this "Job Posting"!
Maybe you might even enjoy being a slav.. I mean working for us! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Bosnian_Cowboy · July 2003

I'm interested.

My Qualifications:

1. I can spell 'Qualifications'. (I am also aware of the "Spell Check")
2. <i>I can press the button "I" before and after a sentence. If needed, I can spend long hours deciphering a way I can use Italics without pressing the button marked "I".</i>
3. (Wow, these qualifications are getting harder to think up by the number) I believe I've been a part of the Natural Selection community for more than a month, not sure.
4. I am lazy and unmotivated but I sure do stuff when people depend on me.

Note: I checked this post for spelling errors and I made one. I wrote 'sentance' in Qualification #2. (Yes, I did check this note, too. And this parentheses add-on also)

Bosnian_Cowboy · July 2003

Also, despite my comical tone, I believe I want to work for your website.

Gliss · July 2003

Me too, as long as I'm not the only one doing it =D. I have a strange tendency to not do things as well when I'm in something alone. Maybe write something every few days. I can qualify for most of them, though.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»A minimum of 1 month playing Natural Selection</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Since early 1.02, so, yeah.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»Proper Writting and Grammar skills</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Of course, haven't you read even less than half of my posts? Also, you spelled, "Writing" wrong... =D

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»Some basic knowledge of php or html</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> <i>I am </i><b>sure </b><u>that I can </u><b>fulfill this</b> <i>one</i>.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»A good Attitude</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Good day sir, can I take your hat and coat? Can I get you some ice water?

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»Be an Active member of the Natural Selection Forums and other Forums</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Yep. Not of other forums, though, unfortunately, because I dump too much time on the NS ones.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»Be able to post daily if needed</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Hmm. Depends on how long the 'daily' is. More than 4 days, I don't know, but other than that, yeah.

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»A willingness to go out and find stories or get that interview with someone, with out being told to.</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Well, if I was given something specific, (e.g. what questions to ask, what kind of a story)

</span><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><b>QUOTE</b> </td></tr><tr><td id='QUOTE'>»Very Newbie Friendly and Helpful</td></tr></table><span class='postcolor'> Recently, I got very angry with SNiperMarine, but now, after seeing a moderator's post, I have changed my ways, and I resolved to be newbie friendly from now on.

It seems I can more or less write for CommChair. Though Bosnian would probably be better, he's funnier =D.

[edit] I found a problem... My e-mail account is Hotmail. I get tons of spam mail, so does a new e-mail come along, like Pjofsky@commchair.com? If not, it doesn't matter, I'll get one at xhibitreign or something.

Bosnian_Cowboy · July 2003

I just realized that I wrote "belive". It is edited but I live with the shame. Why do we all have to be so spelling-aware?

By the way, I own a Retail version of Day of Defeat that incorporates a new cd-key (And I don't need you "veterans" of Half-Life interrogating me about why I own the retail version of Day of Defeat, but I'll give you a hint: it has something to do with AVAILABILITY). These DoD Retail cd-keys require the server you're joining to be running the latest Half-Life Dedicated Server patch. Your server isn't, so I can't join. I guess that leaves me out. I believe the ability to join your server is an unspoken requirement.

Majin · July 2003

Because you both seem to just Suck up.. I mean are great <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>
I want you both to stop by and check out the site, tell me what you think.
We need 2 people. So First Come first served comes to mind in this case, meaning, you both seem like your interested, you both seem like you have a good time in the forums.
Meaning, Stop by then tell me what you think of the site. (I know about the Grammar and Spelling mistakes from our early days <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'> )
After you guys stop by and go over the site, learn the ways of the dark side... I mean get to know the layout, please send me and Antichrist an Email (just CC me)
We do have an Email for you, but its a special kind that redirects to an email you have already.
I will talk to antichrist and let him know about you two.
PLEASE, PLEASE don't let me down, we need guys who want to write for as long as NS is popular. If you feel that you aren't going to be dedicated after a week or a month, don't do this to me... But if you look over the site and think "Hey its all just a bunch of filler, I can do this kinda stuff, Hell maybe forever and for free" Your right for the job! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

I hope that you both want to join us, I will have the WELCOME mat dusted off by the intern.. speaking of which "WHERE THE HELL IS MY GOD DAMN COFFEE!".. Ok I'm really my own intern.. I know.. I need help <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

Look forward to seeing you both soon! Email me and Anti
Majin@commchair.com
Antichrist@commchair.com

Gliss · July 2003

I'm in the process of changing mails right now, I'll edit this post later. Just a note, you know, so you don't send any e-mail to my old one.
[edit] Okay, my e-mail is now currently pjofsky@mail.com ... all e-mails to my earlier one will be discarded after 7 days, you guys. I'm checking it for ... actually, maybe 5 days after today, and then poof.

Forlorn · July 2003

I meet all of your qualifications, however:

Couple things which may not be too good for me(or just any one person):

Updating daily with lots of articles. I only spend around 2-5 hours a day broswing websites and stuff. I don't go out with the intent of looking for new stuff on NS. Frankly, I don't think that is possible... Well, I could scrouge up some stuff from these forums to put on your site everyday, now that I think about it. Such as good idea's I see on the S&I forums, or any big developments in 2.0.

Another thing. I don't play NS 1.04 very often anymore <b>at all</b>, because I just got tired of the game. I know I was/am pretty darn good at the game(been playing since 1.0!), but I don't think I would go around on a server knowing that I wouldn't be having much fun. Right now, I'm currently sucked into getting good at War3: The Frozen Throne.

I meet all of your requirements except for playing on NS servers often, as I won't untill 2.0 is released.

So I can work for you, but I will not be able to meet your requirement of playing NS on servers now, and I would pretty damn hard pressed to find fresh material for your site daily, but I think I could do it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

So there you have it. However, if you accept more than one writer, this shouldn't be too much of a problem, right?

Gliss · July 2003

Alright, I checked the site, added server to my favorites, it looks nice... Although... You know, I have some different layout suggestions and all

Diablus · July 2003

Id gladly join! of course in about 2 weeks this will be in headline news:

Reporter: "The former writer named Diablus has somehow stupidly unlocked a virus that has spread throughout most or all computers around the world simply by trying to send in an article about a gamecalled Natural Selection, The virus has spread and is taking control of all machines, hey wait... this sounds alittle bit like that movie terminat......"**fuzzy Screen**

Gliss · July 2003

What do I send you an e-mail about, what I think of the site and stuff?

antichrist · July 2003

Hi everyone! thanks to majin for this post and the permission to post this. We have had many other admins post one thing and never again <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> what I m suggesting is a 2 week trial to be fair. Also about the site layout and forums. Our designer is always busy <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'> so if anyone wants to edit out current php theme be my guest <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>. Also I updated the site to php6.8 but wasnt able to update the forums to phpbb2.5 or invision so if anyone knows how to do either please help.

p.s. - I m awful with grammar and spelling but I own the site so I dont care! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Thanks for your intrest Forlorn.
Let me see how things go with Bosnian and Pjofsky and If we still need more people I will look you up.

(Pjofsky)
Don't worry about the email thing, just go to the site and become a member and you can send us a PM from the site, that way we can fill you in on all of the details!

(Bosinan)
I think I said the same thing to you, so thats covered! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

(antichrist)
I'm taking over the site, with my new lackis we will rule Commchair with an Iron Fist (well maybe not iron, maybe Brass). <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'> <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif'>

(few)
Thanks for checking us out.
As Antichrist said, we will give Bosinan and Pjofsky a shot, see how they adapt and enjoy the site, if we need any more people we will be back here and you will be on our list for sure!

Thanks to everyone who posted on here. I am glad that you like our site.
We could still use an Expert in PhP and a Talented Site desiger to fix one or two things and add some flare to the rest of the pages.
If anyone is interested in adding some Sexyness to some of the pages that are plain post here and let me know!

Majin

If you need to contact me, just use the PM fuction in these forums, I'd give you my e-mail but all I use it for is deleting **** enlargement ads, pron, and other useful information.

JoltGris · July 2003

I would acctually like too help, but I'm pretty stupid..
I think I meet all the requierments <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

GhostlyPea · July 2003

My friend Miserygut said he would be very interested in this, he's going to email you once he gets home.

<img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Only down side, his knowledge of HTML is limited at best, other than that, he'd be a good choice.

Creepsie_Creature · July 2003

I really do hate people that simply upload PHPnuke and go round shouting about how great their site is. Try making your own site from scratch and then see how talented you really are.

when I take over Bad Spelling and Poor Grammar will rule supreme!

Anyways:

There is still a spot left due to the fact that Bosnian isn't able to write for us because he has to help write for his Clan site and take care of things there.
Thanks alot anyways buddy! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'>

Pjofsky, I am assuming that your still interested?

I am sorry about the site, as normal we felt the need to make us better by updating to a new php version, it didn't work out smoothly(big surprize there <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>) and like the last time we did this, the site is having a few hickups that we are taking care of! Sorry to everyone who has stopped by and found the chaos of the forums and anything else that is missing or messed up.

So who is really interested is writing for Commchair, not just writing, but being apart of the team, and working on the site?
I have siad it a few times, so I'll say it one more time.
We are a daily updating community site, so we need DEDICATED members who are willing to make interesting posts each week.
Read over the first page and anyone who is interested please Email me
Majin@commchair.com
