Willing to suggest, but not contribute?
April 2nd, 2008 by FreekSo a few days ago, I posted this announcement requesting gaming staff for the site.
The amount of replies I got? 0, null, zero or none. Any way you put it, this is a sad number for a forum memberbase that feels its needed to initiate a riot when an admin does not have gaming experience. I feel that a number of people (you know if this is you) just come on to criticise and sometimes even make suggestions now and then, especially during our infamous forum riots - but do not contribute anything when it is being asked.
At any rate, I realise many people here no longer play the games, but still. The only staff position that seems to be popular at times, is when a new moderator is requested. Maybe someone can explain that to me, but a writing positon allows for much more freedom, creativity and a hell of a lot less criticism then you would get as a moderator.
But meh, its probably just me. But some of these old-members-turned-lurkers are usually just pissing me off rather then contributing anything.
On a related note, Zach has been helping out on the RoTWK pages. I myself am working in the LotRO ones.
