Aionsource opens up staff applications, are you tough enough!?

[Cynic]

My oh my how far we've come, to think Aion is already well and truly here. Regardless of this fool's daydreaming it turns out the success of Aion has caused a pretty hefty amount of traffic here in the hallways of Aionsource.com

On that note I'm happy to announce the opening of several positions across our volunteer staff, juicy details below :o

Forum Moderators Ahoy!

With the ever-increasing amount of users browsing and posting on our little slice of paradise the need for more dedicated moderators is becoming quite apparent. Due to this we'll be taking on a couple youngin's and training them into the ever so charming and dashing staff you've come to know and love.

Jokes aside for you active forumites out there this is a good opportunity to help enhance the browsing experience of other users and give something back to the community you've come to call your Aion home. If you have a pretty decent hunk of spare time on your hands and preferably some exprience under your belt this position may be of interest to you.

Simply throw me a PM here at Source detailing information you deem to be relevant. Things like name, location, availability, preferences, past experience, etc etc are all interesting. Be creative and let us know what you think we need to know! Preference will be given to known and established members of the community. Who knows, you may be so lucky as to be taken under Birdman's ancient 06 wing.

Note: Please title the PM appropriately, messages titled like "Hi" may be missed.

AionArmory Staff

Aionsource has not been alone in its growth with AionArmory sharing in the prosperity. On that note we're also opening applications for new AA staff.

For those of you no doubt on the edge of your seats, surely everyone is while reading my thrilling posts, allow me to give a brief overview on what such a position entails.

Basically our AA staff are assigned with the role of approving screenshots/guides/stigma builds/NPC&Item edits and anything else remotely related. AA staff are also responsible for porting guides to the Armory, checking for bugged/missing content and repairing said content where possible (or reporting it to those that can)

If you're interested simply throw me a PM, with an appropriate title please ><, detailing all the information you deem relevant. Just like the Moderator positions things like name, location, availability, past experience (with databases/wiki-type systems) and all that fun jazz.

Remember a position like this is a pretty solid commitment so give it some thought before throwing yourself in there, we have traps to stop you from leaving! >:)

Aionsource Content Writers

Just when you thought I was done BEHOLD there is more! Aion is a large game with different pathways to walk, unfortunatly not even I can walk them all. On that vague and seemingly irrelevant note we are creating an entirely new staff position here at Source humbly called (and subject to change should Knite complain too much) Content Writers.

Basically we're looking for members of the community who are willing to take on a position as dedicated authors for Aionsource. This would entail writing things like FAQ's, guides, instance walkthroughs and more. Such content would be featured, with due credit, in the News and Guides sections regularly. If you are an experienced player within the world of Aion interested in such a position I'm sure you can imagine what I'm about to ask. Simply throw me a PM here at Source (deja vu) with some relavent details and perhaps even an example of the content you would be writing on a regular basis.

This is a great opportunity to give something back to your fellow community members without being an iron-fisted tyrant (I'm not that bad... right?). So if you're creative at heart and bursting with knowledge let us know, the Aion community could always use more sagely minds!

And that about sums me up for tonight, be sure to stay tuned and I look forward to meeting some of you in a more personal regard. Incoming PM wall of death!!!

Oh one last completely unrelated thing, we may be seeing a couple blue names hovering around the hallways of Source soon. Ask no more since I wont be giving anything away just yet ;)

Later,

1st, oh wait.

[Cynic]

I had a feeling you would smell fresh prey.

[Chalky]

I wonder how many replies we can manage without a non staff member posting...

The world may never know.

On a side note, I am looking into future ways to bribe reward AionSource staff. Volunteering your time with us does not go unnoticed and while prizes and details are still safely captured in the void that is my inner monologue (I think there's a theme song that plays somewhere back there also), they would be exclusive to staff.

(Don't worry, regular AionSource contests will still exist!)

We've already got the largest Aion community of any fansite and I know that rattling within its walls are talented people with creativity oozing out of known and unknown places. It's time to take AionSource and AionArmory to the next level, but much like finding an umbrella in Bubble Bobble, why stop at one? Thanks in advance to those who volunteer and enjoy your upcoming weekend!

Excuse me, could you tell me where the restrooms are, please?

Should be interesting to see who lands with what on this site.

[Saintray]

Indeed. Its so busy here.
I think there are a lot of people regarding AionSource as the official forum, since the official-official forums are not useable.

Let's hope for some good new mods around here!

[Tarah]

no... :P

I would apply if I wasn't unemployed... but that makes me think that if I was employed I wouldn't have that much time. Oh well life is really complicated sometimes.

Regardless, best of luck on your applicants! Blood for Blood!

Condolences and Congratulations for those who apply.
