Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

Okay, we're at the point where we need some help with the forums. I'm looking for two or three people who are;

:arrowr: 18 or older
:arrowr: Avid forum users
:arrowr: Computer literate

They are volunteer posts, which means you get a funky symbol. I will need you to note me if you're interested and meet those very, very rough requirements =P

Right, on with the updates. We've noticed that a few pieces of fan art are being submitted, but are not pieces of fan art drawn or owned by the person doing the submitting. This isn't a crusade against it, far from it. It's just an update to make you, the community, aware that it isn't any legal leg to stand on with that situation. I will try not to get involved, I trust you guys and ladies to do what's right by the community, you have done so far!

Anyway, if you think you meet the requirements, and want to help out, then note me! If you ask in the thread, I'm just gonna ask you to note me again :B

    I'm interested in such things, but I'm not noting you yet because I don't know if I want to do Forum-y things for another site. I must thinks about this some.

    All Your Base Are Belong To Me

    I sit here and look at the "JOIN OUR TEAM" and wonder.. what could I do?
    I look at the requirements for most of the positions and fall short on many fronts.
    Then there is this.
    I am not and hardly ever was a forum user.
    I go to them as required and occasionally just to poke around but never got hooked on them. Maybe it's too many in my life between clan and guild forums, art forums, game forums, life sux forums, etc... Who knows why I never dove in to them.
    I do want to help just don't see anything I can do aside from participate as I can and do my small part to get the site name out there.

    If there is something I can actually do, I offer assistance and I shall keep my eye out for posts on things I might could do.

    Best of luck.

      I know how you feel about forums, a lot of sites I'm a member of never really got me into the forum side of things. This is probably the first time I've ever gone beyond 1500~ posts on a forum.

      Hopefully something comes up that's suited to you, then :B

      Thanks!

      I'm with you too bro, lol so far looks like you and I have only been able to give money =p. I just don't have the energy that i did back in the day (under 18 tbh, i just lied about everything, i was a Community liaison on some forums) to troll the forums, and for some reason, i cannot get into these. I'm bringing it back to the energy thing.


      Maybe something will open up like Nirach said =p

        That's cool.

        Napalm needs a helpdesk and an FAQ, definitely.

            So you're trying to be the one-man "answer all the randomly placed questions" guy?

            Ouch...

            (also, you should poke infog, a nice forum post of what he/she's got so far might be nice)

        I am going to poke around here more! Now that I have several months of free time until class starts back up.

        And you need to crack the whip at [insert whoever makes the FAQ here].

      Worrying is about as effective as chewing gum to solve algebra

      First off: Sorry this took so long to reply to, but I was getting my head around it myself.

      Basically, the law assumes that a minor cannot comprehend the detail of a contract, which means they are free from a large number of the bonds that anyone over the age of 18, legally not considered a minor, is in agreement with when they sign the contract.

      This means that they could, without a moments notice turn around and walk away, and if they were to break the MNDA that they would have to sign, it could probably be argued in court that they didn't understand the contract, and get away with basically throwing away anything they caught wind of.

      What this also means is that a volunteer who was a minor, could essentially turn around and take us to court and claim that it was never intended as volunteer work, and claim back pay, and compensation for 'mental anguish' or something akin to that.

      What it boils down to is us covering ourselves. I know it sounds selfish of us, but we simply cannot take that risk - It would jeapordise a lot of peoples financial stability and we are simply not prepared to take that risk. I know it sucks, I've been in the same boat myself a number of times. Sadly there's no way around it.
