Just a sugestion, but I was in on the forums as a "Correspondent" for the Star Wars: Galaxies game, and that seemed like a good idea if you ever need one...

I was a volunteer for the site that took care of one forum on the whole site. Now there were paid moderators that regulated stuff, but us Correspondents kept everything in a prety good order, like by locking forums and stickying important ones (we could not delete topics, only put them up for reccomendation for deletion).

I was just thinking that if you guys seemed backed up on your forums/encyclopedia/etc. then you could "hire" non-paid people like me to contribute to the site with simple functions...

Just a thought I had and wondered if you had considered such an option. This topic is also open for people who support and or have alternative ideas of this nature. Or, even if you do not support it, I'd be interested to hear your ideas.

This site works almost exactly in the way you are talking about. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop Furthermore, the server has its own backup and protection system running.

If you are recommending yourself to become a Mod and/or Encyclopedist, please do so once you've been more experienced and contributed enough to this website. It's really weird for a first-time poster to do so. Rolling Eyes

Oh, I wasn't replying in that manner, per se, but I was just fronting the idea since I had read a lot of disgruntled posts about thow slow the archives were being updated/added and how the forums had been full of garbage.

However, I see now that you people have everything in control. I believe I will be sticking around these forums for a while. Wink
