Quote from: me, begging you, december 2nd
It's time. GW6 is almost done. I've seen a working version. Not the fanfare reveal maybe but it's not 100% yet so who knows panda might suffer a sudden heart attack and back to square 1, but it's coming! And we need some active staffers.

I am saying without exaggeration that while this isn't going to be the last call for staff probably, it is easily the most important. We need to open the new site GOOD. We are the content delivery system.

THE PHONES RINGING...ITS YOUR NATION OF GW...WILL YOU ACCEPT THE CHARGES?

and you all, in an old gw6 topic. one topic. ONE TOPIC. not all of them. not even the biggest one. a three page topic.

Quote from: Doktormartini
I wish I could help with the staff part
Quote from: UPRC
I do love to help. I did games for what, six or seven months, and it was pretty fun, but I bet any senior staffer left right now wants to get their paws on that position.
Quote from: Beasley
I'm always available to help with whatever you need help with on the site should you need someone to fill a position.
Quote from: Stadsport
If you need a staff position or something filled, I wouldn't mind doing it.
Quote from: Acid
If you need a mod or a staff member or someone to help you out i can, i was a former staff member at Golden Falcon
Quote from: Bisse
As for staffing, Rowain offered me a position about a month or two back, sent you a PM about it.
Quote from: larsdood
Wait what I'd like to contribute to a GW collection of RPG midis or whatever. If someone wants to use my compositions in games I'm fine with that. So yeah, that'd rock pretty cool.
Quote from: spacelion
I am willing to help GW however I can!!
Quote from: VinceP
is there any way you could make a list of exactly what sort of staffers you need, and what you need them to do? I'm interested in a position (who isn't though) but I'm not sure what would be needed the most, and what I'd be most useful for.
Quote from: Woman
If you need me for staff and SHIT, I used to write for DOP (lol) and I need to write more anyway!
Quote from: Mateui
I'd be happy to get into writing articles again, since it's been a while.
Quote from: ATARI
I haven't written any tutorials since October 2004 so this is going to mean BIG CHANGES
Quote from: Xanqui
Just throwing this out there, but I can still write articles.

WHOOPS YOU'RE ALL LIARS!!!

Let's see how many dumb replies we can get before I have to lock this topic because it is obvious nothing will come of it.  Thanks fellas.

Also ya we're always hiring staffers.  It is not like there is a DEFINITIVE NUMBER OF POSITIONS.

like i even need to apply. sheesh.

ps - I'll probably do that blast from the past article series we've talked about in the staff forum, since I have taken over the Gwiki and will be trying to promote it in the near future.

I just wanted to say thanks to GZ and headphonics. thank you guys, sincerely, I appreciate what you've done. I don't think I can offer anything besides bad articles written in slack grammar about nothing. I wish I knew something so I could help out. even if I did I know I'd probably be like all those guys up there who said they'd do something but never applied.

Despite this horrible thread I'm sure lars is still willing to send his midis to our resources section (RMN)

Yeah topic is about individual callout and not a hilarious fact that almost everybody here promised to help out at some point and then fucked off forever!

well I would argue that the vast majority of the people up there that offered to volunteer did it with the intention of writing general articles about music or THINGS and there's no shortage of that on the site

there is. we're down to about five regular staffers.

uhhh except people still continue to do this all the time and I would rather have people say NO I am too lazy/busy/apathetic to help than to take part in all these feedback topics like they give a damn and in general petition for GW REFORM and end up offering nothing in the way of actual help beyond empty promises to write.  heh GW6.... lets do this guys.... we can fix GW.  I for one am willing to help in any way I can *disappears into the ether when help is actually needed*.  people do this constantly and it is really, really annoying.

basically I think if you've talked to panda and gz about the site at all, you'd be fucking astonished how much they put into this site and how absolutely LITTLE they recieved in return. I had to quit, so did HL; I think we both had good reasons (and arrogant as it is, I think my reason is so good I could post a thousand dicks and maybe write it off at this point because come on PEACH IN HEAD). despite my best pre-tumor efforts, I couldn't get the current staff to work; james the composer appeared at the eleventh hour to say "don't worry I'm here" and then never came back. ptizzle has consistently VANISHED. other contributors have mysteriously disappeared, like BM. other staffers have from the beginning never promised anything.

and then more have just had to quit over time. and somehow NO ONE ON THE FORUMS realized with a new mainsite we need new articles from everyone. they just assumed the call for staff was a one time only thing, DANCE MONKEYS DANCE.

the fact that I've told Bled to fuck off NUMEROUS TIMES and he's writing more articles than people who were on staff is astonishing, but not as astonishing as the number of people who have pledged to help and then...didn't. Bisse might get ticked but lets face it he's one of the better ones up there; his quote says he was contacted and then obviously nothing was followed up on, and it's no surprise he wouldn't be the first to jump in line. but like I said, he's probably the BEST up there, the rest are all people posting now who said "I'll do anything to help!"

and I didn't go to the most recent topics but there's even more.


sooooo where's that help guys?

if you're detecting some anger, of course there is. I'll admit a bit is self loathing as with my medical shit I can't write fuckall and so I feel like yet again I've left panda holding the bag. but a lot of it is genuine irritation. some mods and staff have even been so arrogant as to say "heh good job guys we did it! WE DID IT" as if there was even a WE! it was panda, gz, and some help from goldenratio and I believe Konix. mostly gz!

there were TWO TOPICS made in private for mods and staff. it was supposed to inspire them to work more. you know what happened?

THEY COMPLAINED ABOUT THE FUCKING COLOR SCHEME FOR LIKE THREE PAGES!!! it was horrible! I felt GROWING DISMAY with every new post.

Idk the way everyone else has dropped the ball on this (into panda's bag heh) has been astonishing. there were years of people saying I'LL HELP WHEN YOU'RE READY but apparently unless you hold someone's hand they can't figure out that there's a constant need for articles???
