Many of you know I'm very, very serious about having this site grow to the size of competion sites like Comic Vine and Superherohype, and I want us to bring a new level of quality to the table.
I'm going to begin working on a business proposal and I need to know who is dedicated to this as well. This means you're going to stick with writing articles/news/reviews/previews/etc on an almost daily basis, interacting in the forums, cleaning up the forums, etc. This needs to begin ASAP to prove this site is worth funding and produces quality content/discussion for all comic/comic-media fans.
This also means in the event this does work and we get an office, I need to know why you believe you should be a staff member and what you'd contribute. I already have a few in mind for specific spots. Obviously IF this does move forward, any budget we receive would not be even close enough to support all of us. It would be a handful at best and the rest would remain as mods and bffs. This means in that event you'd need to move to wherever the office is as well. This will likely be extremely tough to get off the ground, but we'd be working on something we love and giving our full effort to make it the best site possible.
I know personal matters always come first and if you're too busy to give it your all, I understand. But for me, this is my personal matter and my goal. I want this to happen and I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure it happens. We have the knowledge, skills, and understanding of what modern fans want and how they feel. We should and will be the go-to site for these kinds of conversations.
I know the chance is slim this will happen in the near future, but I always like to prepare for any outcome and we need to speculate on this.

You know I'm in. I do as much as I can every day to add/improve content on CL. You're the person I had in mind for any kind of "reporter" position we could create. You ARE news, lol.

I'm not just news, as you know. I'm dedicated to improving the site and its content any way I can, like videos, which covers a lot of different content.

Obviously you wouldn't be limited to only news, but news is the emphasis I had in mind for you if I had to create a certain position. Obviously everything else would be included with not only that, but everyone else. I'd want EVERYONE to take part in videos and more, especially.
For example, round-table discussions on key issues or even movies would be really fun.

I agree we should take part in multiple/most aspects of it.
It's just something I really enjoy and think I'm pretty good at too, so I would like to remain a regular for those.

Dude, don't go all corporate on me. lol Just because I think you're the best person for news doesn't mean you're going to be shoved in a cubicle working on news and rarely able to voice in on anything. I want things to operate exactly how they are now with staff. Everyone has a hand in everything, but when it comes to writing up the big news articles and getting them first, that's likely going to be you a majority of the time, ya know? Focusing on news wouldn't restrict you from anything else, just like it doesn't now, silly.

You know I am in k4tz. I have slacked on the reviews a bit but I will pick that up. I think I just had too much reviews that needed to happen so I got burned out. But I am back on track I think. I will just be doing less reviews.

And of course, I am the go-to guy for organizing shit around here.

Erik, you put your name for like 10+ titles and you were writing full-fledged reviews, so it's no problem. Besides, we've all been slacking in that department. I'd just like to see us all (those who want to, of course) step it up big time. If you're reviewing too much, shorten reviews or just toss aside some titles. Besides, you know I love ya and I'd want you to be a part of it I think articles are the big discussion points so I'd love to see us all make more of those. I'm going to work on an article for the Marvel: Ultimate ALliance video game franchise and how I'd like to see the third turn out.

Lol yeah. I foolishly thought I could take on that many reviews. It was actually 30+.
Silly Erik.
I would totally be willing to do articles on things like games but since I am virtually penniless for a few more weeks, I can only review what I can steal (comics).

I don't think you're late, Vance. Besides, you are ideally placed geographically for this operation.
I dunno what plans K4tz has for me, if any, but I'd obviously wish to be part of it.

I will help as much as possible, but since it is my senior year, I will have a hard time doing stuff on a every day basis.

You know I want this site to do well k4tz, but don't underestimate how far I'm willing to go for it. Whatever it takes. If you need the new website to take priority and get everything running I'll pull all nighters if I have to to see it come up asap.
As far as we've gone you guys have been happy with the current forum so the website has never been my top priority. If you say our potential success pins on it and it could help you guys (and possibly me) reach our ultimate dreams in life then I will move fucking mountains to make it happen.
