New Staff Positions
We are currently trying to expand our community in multiple ways and to accomplish this goal we require a head on approach to each topic. This means that we set a goal, we find people to work at that goal, and we complete that goal with that group of people no matter what it takes. The key to doing this is you, we need your time, your motivation and hard work to get this done. You may just be a player, or even a staff member but you can still help us out with giving us part of your time back to us when we spend so much time making it better for you.
We need people to take up jobs around the community and actually follow through with them. They need to do the tasks at hand, get them done correctly, report about them, and make sure they are good for the community. If they are not able to do this then they should tell us and find another way to help.
Some of the following are example jobs that will be available around the network, and remember, all jobs are Volunteer, meaning their is zero pay. Your work will count as a donation toward the network and will help out greatly.
