Well we all know, or atleast hope, CB is almost apon us. The new release isn\'t the only thing coming our way. I have decided and been planning for a while now on creating a PS fansite. It will be called The SilverLeaf Tavern. Now don\'t be fooled by the name, it won\'t be a copy of Kada\'s Tavern. It will be a fansite like a vault or warcry site. Now this site is going to be huge so I\'m going to need a staff to help with content. This site is a non-profit organization so its staff will be made up of volunteers. We are doing this because we enjoy helping the community and giving something back to them. Here are some examples of the jobs I will need done:
General Staff Writers
News Editor: Post news and keep the community up to date.
Editorials: Articles on various topics relating to the games, game mechanics, game world, and more.
Satirists: Humorous write ups on various topics.
Guide Writers: Guides on various game elements and walkthroughs of those most difficult of tasks.
Database Builders: Take lots of screenshots and help build databases for things such as a beastiary, weapons, armor, items, and crafting materials.
Fiction Writers
Write fictional stories that take place in the game world to entertain us. Wrtie about your in-game encounters or your characters life story. Write anything as long as its a PS-related story.
Columnists
Start your own column related to PS.
Staff Artists
Draw/create pictures etc. to go with articles, stories, or anything else.
Or create a standalone piece like a comic strip or anything you can come up with.
Site Designers
I also need people that can help with the website design. I need people who also can help code it to make it easy to update like by making it php-nuke or some sort of CMS.
Etc.
Anything else you can think of.
You can have as many or as few postitions as you want. If you are the slightest bit interested please reply to this post or PM me. If there is any other job you think is needed or that you want to do please ask me about it. If you feel you can help in anyway, please do so.
Now this fansite is in the early stages of developement and may not be ready for a while. Right now it is just in the planning stages but I have already started work on the webdesign. Though I can\'t do this alone so if no one becomes interested in helping this site may never happen. I have seen a couple people in the past try and get a PS site started but ended in failure yet I hope that is not the SilverLeaf\'s fate.

Good luck with this new site!!! :)
Im willing to help you so heres what im interested in. Pm me if you want me help.
Satirist, Guide Writer, Database Builder, and Columnist.
I cant juggle too many of them since I have a guild to take care of and way too much Homework. But I could one of those four for you. Your choice of what you want me for :)

I know somewhat of the following things
1. IF/N Statements for Javascripting
2. Visual Site Designing

Finally you anounce it. Good luck.

I can write something...anything, really. Just anything with writing, I can do. Some people think I am funny, so I could do comics with someone (if they design them) or I could write serious. I don\'t really care...

*still isn\'t in bed...*
Eh, I guess I could help with the visual design. By that, do you mean making the template in Photoshop, then chopping it up to make the site? If you could just hand draw me a basic layout, I could pretty much do the rest.
Of course, it\'s really better for YOU to make the site. If you can\'t even write HTML/PHP for the site, you might want to reconsider even doing it. I\'m not sure how much you know by your post, but a project like this would be rather difficult for someone who doesn\'t know much about Web Design. If you merely want help, I\'ll be glad to help you...

I do have experience with html and some with PHP. I was hoping though that someone(s) would be able to help me convert the layout I have started into a Content-Managment-Script like Php-Nuke. Also there maybe possible improvements to make on what I have so far.
Anyone interested in helping I have set up a temporary forum so that we can talk about the site. Even if you are only slightly interested or just want to follow the sites progress and give help by commenting on our work, please feel free to join the forum.
