I've been asked to help fix sfc3 files, to make it more suitable to the sfc community based on my experiences running BCfiles. The admin of SFC3 is apaprently in agreement with this. I have a number of ideas, but before I list them, it has come to my attention that there are a few people around here and in outalance that apprently have made their feelings known. Something to the effect of "if starforce2 becomes staff on sfc3files I'll never touch a filesnetwork site again". All I have to say to those persons is this: grow up. I've been asked to put my skills to use to help improve a filesnetwork site in trouble, and it will help the SFC community as a whole. If anyone doesn't like it, that's tough. I'm going to go ahead and do it for everyone else that has enough common sense to realise that such improvements are good for all. The rest can go rotate. In oder to assit them in the way FW has asked me to, I will probably need admin access to sfc3files. However, even if I am handed control of it I do not want to run it or keep it. That's phase one of my improvement plan:

1) New staff. FW doesn't have time to run SFC3 and outalance. Now, FW has indicated that theft and lack of proper crediting is pretty much rampant on sfc3. To help stop this we need people on the staff who are familiar with most of the work and are well connected in the community toknow the who's who and what's what. So, we need staff hand picked from dynaverse modders. FW say dawg is willing to help but a FN site can't run on 2 people. Assuming McCobbin wants to stay, and FW wants to stay, and Dawg is in, we need 2-3 more people to assist with posting files.

Requirements:
1) DSL or cable, some kind of high speed net
2) Decent english
3) Email and FTP programs
4) Familiarity with the community

If the above applies to you and you are interested post in this thread, PM me, Or contact FW, or Dawg. You don't need to say why you'd be good for a the job, we just need to know who's interested.

Other changes I plan to make or suggest be made:
1) have the general permissions thread updated, more authors added, and have it displayed on a page on the left menu of SFC3files.
2) Imrpove the links section
3) Add dynaverse next to the offcial FN forums on the left menu. This is similar to the way BCU is listed over at BCFiles.

Anyways, lets get going with the staff signup. Who here is interested in working at sfc3 files??

I could possibly help out...oh, and Starforce, I noticed your pics on different sites still point to Nightsoft.net, our old URL. We changed it to stop the constant DOS attacks....it is now Nightsoftstudios.com. Just update your links and the pics should show properly.

ahh good now I've got my sig back

But yea raven if you know some sfc people that can help run the place make sure they get ahold of me or fw so we got some names to choose from. Also Raven, if you have a nightsoft button that is 88X31 I can get you on the affiliates menu. Need to get nightsoft on there for BC and SFC3 and Legacy if you plan to support that.

Also, anyone who's graphicly inclined, it'd be nice to have a button for dynaverse and battleclinic for the sfc3 Affiliates menu. We already have outalance buttons.

I would also assume that sfc3 files is using their appointed staff section at the gamingforums. If they are, registering there will result in a private forum access being given to all staff, which meants TS or such wont be nessecary, just check there a few times a week and leave threads for one another. If GF sucks too much for everyones taste I have a forum where I run a private staff forum for BCfiles, we can use that or create one perhaps on the outalance forums and run ourselves. I prefer the second option because you don't need to wait around for the admins to ad new staff and delete old ones you just do it yourself,a dn you can have a public section for users of sfc3files to contact you with questions rather than email tag. That send email you can do from filesnetwork is only good if the person sending you the email hasn't changed thiers since they signed up. Oftem times you try and answer and their profile has a bad email. Forum threads solve this.

LOL..damnit Raven, I fix my sig and your server takes a crap.

Sorry, server traffic is especially heavy as of late. We have had to do higher maintenance....we might have to increase our server capacity.

I would like to work there too or is it too late?

It sounds like this would be a step in the right direction. Instead of some faceless detached website, the "Community" so to speak, steps in and sorts things out...

Good luck in this effort. I really don't see a downside to this other than you guys taking on a HUGE job. If people have jealousy or other personal issues about this, then that's on them...
