Hi all,

Yes, I'm working on some different things in the background.  All will be revealed in time.

While I'm waiting for some paperwork to complete, I figured I'm shameless steal an idea and start this thread up.

It's just like any other "ask X" or "Ask the Moderators" thread.  The usual rules apply.

Let's get this train rolling.

Solution: delete each thread you read, and you won't have to worry about them ever again.

even better solution: delete every thread that has been dead from between 2003 and 2005.

How did you know what I was working on?

Hi all,

I need a Cooking Mama apron.

If you're good at making such things, let me know.

Thanks,
Scott

Yeah, these type of thread will probably never stop being made.

Sadly, you are right.  I'd like to have a solution, but my instincts can only suggest "ban people".  :)

Like hearing candy mountain on the loudspeakers on Monday afternoon?

There were swear words in my general vicinity when it moved into the song.

And I wasn't responsible.

This thread has been made sticky, as requested.

Hi all,

We are bringing back the tradition of booking of "pre-registering" some contestants for the Trivia Show.

The Trivia Show is a trivia based game show, running Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights 8:30pm to 11:30pm.

While we always take contestants directly out of the audience, we are also interested in having a few "seeded contestants" with a guaranteed spot on stage.  If you are interested, have a good knowledge of anime, and have some stage presence, email us at [email protected]

Applications must be exactly 45 words long, and include a head shot.

Be careful out there, everyone, or I'll move the thread to the Internet Drama area.

I'm debating whether to give:

• a sensible answer (hotel/convention center space is private property; they dictate what is and is not allowed in their space)
• an obvious answer (non-local or overnight vacations cost money, period.)
• a threat, like I'll permaban people who cause trouble for me.
• Tifa cosplay pictures.
  

I'm not sure though.

Hey all,

I'm inspired to try something different, so I'll take a swing here.

I'm trying to create a staff information site for staffers to get information.

There are some basic requirements on access:
* There are at least two roles.
* One role is the normal staffer: they have the ability to read nearly everything on the staff site.
* One role is the senior staffer: they have the ability to write new content, either for all staff or just senior staff.
* People who aren't staff should have no access to the staff site.

Other requirements on content:
* There should not be a bottleneck or a single gating point:  if the tech-lead wants to write a paragraph, they should be able to do it directly without having to rely on some administrators busy schedule.
* There should not be a risk to bury content.  if GR posts 10 updates on guest status, this should not bump a critical article on con-ops.

And two last administrative requirements:
* It should be easy to install (less than 8 hours)
* It should require little to no day-to-day maintenance.


As a stake in the ground, I'm thinking of MediaWiki with some tight permissions.  I can set up one Wiki page per department, control editing a bit, and that should be that.


Are there better options?  What say you?

[Web coder]

While I work on the official staff recruitment site, I'll highlight what I'm looking for..
There are two positions that are open, web coder, and system administrator.

Web coder: I am looking for people who can build and manage projects for both the internal and external websites.  The primary language of concern is PHP, although as most of these sites have front-end, you'll need HTML and CSS.  You will also need the ability to set deadlines and meet those expectations; this is quite important.   Ideally, you will need to have some experience in making PHP projects, either for yourself or for others.  Practical people are worth bonus points.

System administrator: We have a number of Fedora Core servers that need love and attention.  Managing security things, making sure nothing is breaking.  You will likely need to help with some bigger stuff, like "help design a front end for Spamassassin" or "migrate a mail server from sendmail to a different MTA".  Things like that.

You can find me at [email protected]   Or email Kelsey.  She's cool too.

Depends on what he says (Ie: Scott is stubborn sometimes), you might want to email it to me as well. :P

Apparently, this is the kind of boss you'll be working for. :)

Yes, but dancing with them on real pads is harder.

Oh, the shame of it all.

I'm just glad there's no footage of the songs I did.

I've skimmed the last few pages.

I'm not going to name names or take sides or single anyone out. 

I am giving everyone a warning: "be nice" is still a rule, and still applies here.

Thank you for reading.

It would probably help if people used tags in their titles.

Suggested tags include
[Art]
[Cosplay]
[Stage]
[Request][Cosplay]

That kind of stuff.

This is your forum, so be open-ended.

This is the place where you can post about something that you made.

So be visible and fun.

Use tags in your subject titles. For example, you are showing off your art project put something like [Artwork]. If you are posting something relating to your music creations, post [Music]. This is not necessary, but helpful.

OK: Links to your artwork, or deviantart site.
Not OK: Linking to other people's artwork.  This isn't the point of this forum.
OK: Explaining that you take commissions for art.
OK: Asking for an artist to make something for you.

OK: Links to your cosplay photos.
Not OK: Linking to cosplay photos of other people.  We have a different forum for that.
OK: Explaining that you take commissions to make other people costumes.
OK: Asking someone to make a costume for you for money.

OK: Advertising that you do commissions.
Not OK: Using this place as a store.
This forum will no longer support buying and selling. Please go to this section: (dealers room)

Not OK: Bumping your threads solely to keep them on the first page.
Not OK: Using your friends to do a bump, solely to keep it on the first page.

So far so good?


This does not have to be exclusive to art or cosplay or anime, but the same general rules apply.
If you have a game or science fair project or an acting gig or something that you've created, then post it here.

This forum is experimental; I'd like to see this grow and prosper, in the "by Fans" style.

Hi all,

There will be another incarnation of the trivia game show.

Right now, I'm looking for some people who can assist in writing questions.

It's mostly a trivia show, so I'm biased for those who can write that sort of things.  I'm trying to inject some more humor into things, so if you're good at jokes and being funny, that's helpful too.

If you're ambitious and want to go all the way up to producing (that is being able to create an idea, sketch it in a feasible manner, making it actually work) in addition to writing, that would be also appreciated.

If you're interested and interesting, please email me, [email protected]

Thanks,
Scott
