Title: NSF is Now Hiring
Post by: Macawmoses on December 02, 2008, 09:58:14 PM
Did I get your hopes up? No, we're not after more mods, be they global/local/chat. No.

As I'm sure most of you haven't noticed, nsfcd.com is a Drupal "portal" of sorts. This lovely dovely home page is cute, and amazing, and awesome, and ____ ^______________^

However, it's also bland. Boring even. Why? Because nothing is on it. So, SUPERKOOL and I are teaming up once again. We've brought you Brawlin and Ballin (with help from others) and the 2nd NSFCD Awards. We're that awesome.

This time, we're after contributors to the home page. Yes, you, you there could be on the front page of NSFCD. It's unbelievable, I know. It doesn't matter if you're a Bane of Serious Discussion....well....it doesn't matter if you're any rank but BoSD, we want help. We want you.

That is, if you have the basic ability of reading and/or writing. Those of you whom possess good writing skills are encouraged to apply. If you can write reviews, news articles, or blurbs, you're welcome to try out.

Can you make comics? How about awesome Youtube videos? We might just want you, too!

The task would be to spruce up the front page. We'd have diggable content, awesome content, and tons of masculinity (even without Bluaki).

We want 4 of you to work with us. You'd be paid in some way, likely with vibrators, but it's to be negotiated. Plus you'd be proactive in helping NSF.

And never fear, if you can't do that fun stuff, other things will go on the front page. PotW will get a slot, Sigs, Tournaments and Contests, and maybe other pieces of work you may have.

TLDR: We want staff to write for the first page and sexify it. Send us an application with a sample of your work, us being me. We'll pick the top 4 of you. Only squares won't apply.

You can be Sir Kool's right-hand man or woman. (Woman preferably).


Imagine the possibilities. Imagine the stomped colons.

Most of the albums I have are by no means modern, though...although I guess I have enough to do at least a few decent reviews. Depends on what someone considers "modern" enough to write about, I guess. I think the newest album I own is Black Holes and Revelations.

I'll give it a try, since I enjoy writing.

I enjoy writing, and I make youtube videos...although they're not the best of quality.

I suppose I could write weekly anime reviews on some of the bigger name stuff (Bleach, One Piece, maybe Xam'd or whatever if I get around to watching it, etc.).  :robotindifferent:

Oh, before I forget, when's the deadline? I want to know how much time I have, so I know whether I have to start writing during my English/Computer class or not.

Cool idea, i would read and watch reviews and stuff on the front page

Sounds very sexy. I'm afraid I'm opting out of this, though >_>

I would run a contest given the chance, just not of my own design since they always suck. :(

If at all possible, just use me as a filler for something no one else wants to do. D:

I'll write weird but amusing sections of prose to spice things up a bit.

Oh, you guys have until Friday. SK and I will then go over who we want. PM me though, as I need samples and the like. We're hiring 4 of you, sadly, not all. D:

I could do this too.

But I can only go so far.

I might be banned from your ST0000000pid serious board, but I have the power to bring many people here!

They can still get banned.  And so can you.

A ban from serious discussion is usually a result of numerous things, though. I'm sure you can bring new users, and that's swell, but don't let them make the same mistakes you did.

Christ almighty, I can't read your posts without raging anymore, you dumb sack of poop. We don't give a poop about who gets what grades, and Naruto sucks balls. Even if they didn't play video games we'd still welcome them.

And for the last gosh darn time:


they're

they're

they're

I DID PM you, but only an excerpt because I couldn't send a Word document via PM.

I could review. I wouldn't be able to send you anything right now, though. My computer is broken. :(

If you want, I have a few fangame reviews on www.mfgg.net. You could search for my reviews on there.

How do you want me to give you the whole document, just cut and paste?
Title: Re: NSF is Now Hiring
Post by: Kaz on December 04, 2008, 07:29:35 PM
Why would you only hire 4 people? That's retarded. Just periodically take submissions from anyone who wants to give them to you, and put them up if they don't suck.

You're going to get no variety whatsoever if you do it the way you plan to.
