Sitting here this afternoon, dealing with some potentially devastating news of a medical nature, when I start thinking about some things to do with this site to take my mind off of it.
Frankly -- and I say this with the greatest of respect -- it looks like a few of the people that used to help out with the site by way of moderation have wandered off into more appealing territory.
As primarily a Mac user now, I can't blame them at all, but I'm left with the unenviable position of needing a little active help with keeping the site up to date. Not so much with the forums because the new tools for reporting posts ROCK... Everyone can play moderator with only a couple of hammer wielding button pushers actively keeping people in line.
What I'm finding is that if this site is going to flourish -- let alone survive -- I need a few active people in the community with a good English vocab and some time to spare;
---------------------------
Position 1 : Finder of Trendy knowledge.
No matter how easy we make it, no one seems interested in posting news to the site. This isn't new to the big switch, but something that I think we could do bettter.
If you have a good rep, good writing skills, and a little free time on your hand where you're checking Amiga sites anyway, would you mind posting news items for us?
Number needed : as many volunteers as we can get.
What do you get? : VIP status and a user rank of "News Reporter" to go along with it.
How do I get the gig? : Let me know you're interested.

Position 2: Seeker of Internet knowledge
Like above, we need a bit of help scouring Google for new, valid, and active Amiga-oriented links to add to our reconstituted Links directory. All this really entails is submitting a new Amiga site whenever you find something new or interesting.
Number needed : as many volunteers as we can get.
What do you get? : VIP status and a user rank of "Links Moderator" (or somesuch) to go along with it.
How do I get the gig? : Let me know you're interested.
