Ryan Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So... is this going anywhere? Or is it going to take another 6 weeks to get anything done? Pretty much. Stefan said the other night that he plans to have the first issue released midway through August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unopescio Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So much for monthly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unvirginiser Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 For something like this to work you have to acutally have someone in charge whos willing to do the most work and pull everything together. Otherwise f*ck all will happen. I'm offering myself for that role. Recently I made a bit of an arse of myself and lost a lot of respect throughout the forums, this is the perfect oppotunity for me to show everybone that I care about this community. Just need permission from Stefan and I'll go ahead, not taking over entirely of course, just getting everything set up and then helping then onwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anuj Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So much for monthly. Well put. For something that called itself "monthly" in the OP, they plan to release it after three months work? Well, at least you could call it GTANet Quarterly or something. Anything sounds classy when you publish it four times a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan. Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Alright, alright, alright, from now on, please try and refrain from making needless, sarcastic comments, 'cause that's not what this topic is made for. This hasn't gotten off yet, but I really plan to get this going at the latest this week-end. I go on a three-week break from school starting next week, so that will be a perfect time for us to get settled. @The Unvirginiser: Thanks for the offer, mate! Yes, you have acted like a jerkbag, but because your avatar is funny, I'll give you the job as co-head editor. Just so I can get my mind on track over the next couple of days, can you start organising this until Monday just so that I can relax a bit? If you can, that would be great. EDIT: All the changes to the OP have been made; if there are any mistakes in there, please let me know (by the way, I decided to move from the San Andreas section to Sports Discussion). By the way, devilrock28, if you can make bordered tables for the first post, that would be sweet. Edited June 24, 2008 by Stefan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trows Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 "needless, sarcastic comments" being "is this still happening" and "3 months is hardly one month"? No dough this post will get questions and and maybe even some fighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan. Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 No, I meant more like papanesta's comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unvirginiser Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 (edited) Alright, here are the sections: • GTA IV • GTA San Andreas • GTA Vice City • GTA III • Vice City Stories and Liberty City Stories • Old Skool • Multiplayer/Gangs • Mod Showroom • Hosted Mods • General Chat • Gaming Chat • Tech/PC Chat and Web Design Programming • Movies & TV • Music Talk • Sports Discussion • Vehicle Talk • Visual Arts and GFX Requests • Writer's Discussion • Debates' Discussion Post in here a short paragraph about why you think you should be the writer for that section... More than one can be accepted, however you will have to take turns on which month you do. Make sure you post in here and don't PM me. Every month me or Stefan will post a new topic for the month, this topic is just the sign up thread. I will make a deadline for the finished pieces, and hopefully we can get a July issue going. If you don't make a dead line, then your off, I can't trust you Heres the things that should be included: What's been happening this month? Hot topics, intresting news, a lot of mile stone topics, a new mod or story released? • Correct spelling and grammar. • A summary of the key topics that were active in that forum, and key events. • Funny quotes of the month. • Notable contribution of the month. • Member of the month. Remember.. • Keep it in-formal, your talking to a bunch of teenagers, not a bank manager. • Make it funny • Make it entertaining • Decorate it, pimp it up! I think we should start new with the positions, because this topic got pretty f*cked up, so post your paragraphs about why your the perfect choice here.

papanesta Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 No, I meant more like papanesta's comments. I just phrased it a bit more informally. Dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Struff Bunstridge Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Way to follow the first informative and productive post for weeks with an insult, dude. When's your deadline? If you're looking for a completed issue in July, I'm guessing your first deadline's gonna be pretty tight, and I've got a lot on in the next two weeks...

The Unvirginiser Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Well if you want to sign up you can always do August The deadline will depend on how quick I get eevrything in and assign everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTArv Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Can I be a formatter? I'd like to help with writing, but I feel there are a lot of better writers out there who deserve the job. I've got some experience with desktop publishing and web design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathdealer Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 @ The Unviriginiser: What if my name is already in the gta 4 section? Do I still have to write a short paragraph? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Typhus Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Can I write for the Writers Discussion section? I believe I'm up for the job because I'm completely sane, rational and don't hold grudges. I also smell great in the summer and have some skill in editorials and the like. Besides, I've got some fun ideas for the WD page. I'd like to run them by the rest of the guys and get people really involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhoda Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Do I still have to type that obligatory paragraph explaining why I'm suited for the music section? Because if so I believe I'm suiting for that particular role as I am a fan and am tolerant of many diverse music genres, allowing me to offer unbiased and articulate reviews and opinions.

Runey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 I believe I am up for sports discussion because I've followed sports my whole life, I myself am a PA Announcer and commentator and I just feel I'm up for it. I know, not much....but there's nothing more to say than I know a lot about sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicko Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Alright here goes... I don't give a pony's bumhole if I get the position or not, and if you choose not to have me involved, then great. If you want me involved, then great. Good? I'll make tables for anybody who wishes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, devilrock28, if you can make bordered tables for the first post, that would be sweet. So how am I going to make the tables for you if I can't log into your account? (I'm not planning on logging into your account.) Maybe we should start a new account named "GTA Forums Times" so I can access the account and work on the tables. Just a suggestion.

Runey Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 So how am I going to make the tables for you if I can't log into your account? (I'm not planning on logging into your account.) You can send him the code via PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got some experience with desktop publishing and web design. Sorry bud. It's already taken. But, if it's ok with the people running this than maybe we can be partners. Or maybe if I decide to quit or if my work doesn't work out, maybe you can take my place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unvirginiser Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Runey your on, so are you typhus.. Yes, if you have already replied then please explain to me why you should get the position, it's not simply who called it first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan. Posted June 24, 2008 Author Share Posted June 24, 2008 Remember, Unvirginiser, I'm in Sports Discussion, and being Chief Editor I shouldn't have to re-apply. By the way, thanks for finally getting this up. My fat arse couldn't handle all the work. @papanesta: Whatever, Scott. I think we've figured out by now that most of your posts in this topic have no relation to the production of the 'Times', so it would be best if you kindly leave, please, if you have nothing to contribute.

Typhus Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I have begun my section. I'll PM it to Unvirginiser once it's done. Here's what I'm planning: Intro Rundown of members/contributions during the month Overview of a story in WD history that I especially like. New Ideas from Writers Ideas section Conclusion Sound acceptabe? And how shoudl it be formatted? I'm using notepad at the moment, is someone else going to arrange it and make it look papery?

Rhoda Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I was thinking, maybe for music I'll split my contributions into sections. Heavily influenced by you Typhus, don't worry though, I'm not ripping you off...

GTArv Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks for letting me be the formatter, Stefan. Sorry to see you leave, devilrock. So is the first issue going to be released in July? Will it be viewable online, or in a downloadable format? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
