Don't get me wrong. This is not a definite thing. This is just something I've been debating back and forth for quite some time. You see; I originally took down the frontpage due to the fact that I was leaving for basic training and I felt as though the frontpage would stagnate and become a useless part of INTL. However, now I am no longer in basic training and have the time to work on the site (well, not at the moment, but once I get out of AIT).

Anyway, I thought this might be something that you all might want to participate in. Much like back in the day, when the original frontpage was up, the site would be dedicated to various types of articles and whatnot. One day the frontpage contains an angry rant, the next it's some political satire, the next it's nonsense advice, the next it's absolutely serious.

However, as much as having a frontpage sounds good in theory, there is something that hindered the original frontpage: dedicated writers. Forumers that have the time and are willing to put forth the effort to write at least one good, well articulated, funny, serious, and/or satirical article each week. This is what the problem is with having a frontpage. I can't, by myself, write content for the entire thing, thus there is a need for people within this community to devote some of their time and effort to helping the site generate more traffic and perhaps laughs.

I guess I'm creating this thread not to tell you that I'm going to bring back the frontpage, but instead I'm creating this thread to get an idea from you, the INTL populace, who would be willing to seriously write good articles on a scheduled basis for the INTL frontpage. I don't suspect most of you out there would be willing, let alone have the ability to do so, but I'd like to know now who would want to give it a shot.

I know that Brad is in on it. As am I, as often as I can.

So who else is in? If I don't get at least four people that are willing to write at least one good article each week, well, there's no chance that INTL will come back, simply because it won't be worth it.

Well, I'd give serious thought to it.

Just as a bit of a resume, I used to write for Useless Static before they sort of died.

Why don't we just have it like before, where people just send in articles to be accepted?

It seems like you are looking for a staff of writers, as opposed to what we orignally did, is that true?

Jeff, when we had less people, we made this a welcome, worthy addition to the community. I think this will go over well.

I would love to write for it, and you know that, but I probably wouldn't be able to crank out an article every week. That is, I could write on a Saturday or so, but seriously, since most people here are students, all the articles would be coming in on Saturdays alone. What fun would that be?

The other thing to, I probably wouldn't write constantly good quality. Like you said, you're only looking for people who have the ability.

However, if I did write (what I thought) was a good article, would you think about posting it having me as a "Guest Writer", or would you only want your staff to write?

Thanks, and good luck with all of this,

Nick

I think the old system would work just as well, if not better, now that we have more people. No pressure to put out articles. No pressure means that you won't be rushed to write something shitty.

Well, I could organize weekly photoshop competitions, complete with submission of responses to the best three.

Maybe they'd have to be bi-weekly.

Joanie gave me Noel to hold while she ate her eggs. What an ungainly package: incessant squirming, foul discharges from every orifice, and you have to hold up his drooping head or it will fall right off. They should pass these things around in high-school health class, if they really want to scare kids into using protection.

We could accept and publish user submitted articles from non-regular writers, but we'd have to have the committed writers to ensure regular turnover of hilarity profits.

Also, I'd hazard a guess that the non regular writers would have to submit their story to some sort of quality control person first, eg. me or whoever else wants to do it.

Indeed. If you ever wanted to write regularly for the frontpage, you'd have to submit to the current staff to make sure you're shit was good. If it sucks, too bad; if it's good, welcome aboard.

But yeah, non-regular submissions will be welcome.

I would love to do a short weekly feature like horoscopes for the real world. Perhaps something like a very surly Ann Landers (Ha, Kita)! Mondays are my only true evening off right now, but if I were to be considered, I wouldn't want the entire page all unto itself. Maybe just a little box in the bottom corner, while someone else's article got the main play.

Why settle for boring prose when you can say it with a grinning skeleton?[/w]

I can't write regularly - I don't have any ideas. But I will submit one if I can get a hold of a scanner and my school's health book.
Which probably wont happen.

If you bring back the frontpage, I will write for it.

What people are saying about my cock and/or cock thread:
FA: That is one ugly-ass cock. Hessian: It looks fucking swoolen(sic). Mellie: Nice cock. Fisher: I'm going to um..pretend that's not your wanker ...bye. Pixies: that's your penis. Vervet: ::leaves:: Socky: We're penis brothers! Drah: i guess i should have known better than to open a thread named "Ladies and gentlemen, my cock" in the schools computer room JamesMartigo: What.... in the world... possessed you to post this? Surt: Baby jesus; cries... Dani: I think the fact he posted it is hilarious. The fact that I saw it isn't a laughing matter. Titben: i dunno, you have to give him points for doing the unexpected

I'd even like the idea of a front page having "interesting" links to games/random stuff/anything really. I could try and contribute to these. I just thought of it right now, so it might be a crap idea.

I could write rants or satire, or about how disgusting Hentai is.

Seriously, I would write for it regularly.

How about a weekly comic? I could draw, and might have some good ideas for jokes, but it would be better if others got together and helped out.

Well, I couldn't do it weekly. But I'd be willing to try and get in articles whenever I could.

Or maybe some other sort of thing, an advice column, or something better than my lame "Songs of the Week" I used to do.

Dr. Bashir: "I can't belive you're not pressing charges."
Garak: "Constable Odo and Captain Sisko expressed similar concerns but really doctor, there was no harm done."
Dr. Bashir: "They broke seven of your transverse ribs and fractured your clavicle."
Garak: "Ah, but I got off several cutting remarks which no doubt did serious damage to their egos."
Dr. Bashir: "Garak, this isn't funny."
Garak: "I'm serious doctor. Thanks to your administrations, I'm almost completely healed but the damage I did to them will last a lifetime."

I would write one article per week at least. I've written some stuff about my school, which was promptly taken away by my prinicipal. Go figure, huh.

Yes, I would write weekly, sign me up.
