To the Staff...
I was just wondering, how did people such as WC, Tal and Kyle become staff on the network? This is not question of their ability, but I have always liked the idea of getting on staff one day, and was wondering how they did it...

Redink is there for obvious resaons (he has done so much it is unbelievable) and although I do get in arguments, I think I could stop that!

This is not a plea to get on staff, but I was wondering if one day, maybe...that SabreTrout could play a more active role in the community.

I commit a lot of time to Dink and am frequently online, checking everything that is new.

Just me rambling on again...
Re: To the Staff...
I became staff after shutting down Dink World. The reason for the shutdown was that DW was inactive and I was far too lazy to manage an entire website. Dan then agreed to let me carry out my Ask Tal antics at the Dink Network. Not much of a huge story there, eh? ;)



As for the other guys, I don't know. :)

You are on staff though, and that is pretty cool.

So what about the rest of you?

Me - I founded the dang site, I better be on the staff :)



Dukie - Joined at the very beginning... he asked, I said sure.  Used to be Secondary Webmaster... but now he's just a derelict staff member.



Jveenhof (No Longer Staff) - Used to be on the old Dink World staff... when that died, he jumped ship to DN.  Then he quit.  Then he died... then he came back to life.



WC - Like Jveenhof, he jumped ship when Dink World died.



Silencer (No Longer Staff) - He asked, and I said sure.  He mainly posted about BTS.  He disappears for months at a time... and was silently dropped during one of the server/news script changes.



Kyle - We needed someone to manage the Timeline, so Kyle did that.  Now we don't need somebody dedicated to it, so he's supposed to do discussions.  Its unfortunate that he seems to have disappeared.



Tal - Yeah, after he said he'd kill Dink World Resurrected in an April Fool's joke, I offered a staff position here so Ask Tal could live on.

I do seem to have a problem staying dead.

Grrrrr.
You had to post the same moment I did, didn't you! :)

Re: To the Staff...
RedInk: Created the site, so naturally the webmaster



Dukie: He was handed the job as secondary Web master from RedInk. (I don't remember the exact reason, I just think RedInk needed the help.)



Kyle: One day RedInk needed someone to update the Time Line on the Dink Network, so Kyle was given this job (he applyed for it).



WC: I begged RedInk to be on staff after my website was shutdown and I needed somewhere to post my news. I later got into backing up the server just incase we ever got shut down the files wouldn't be lost.



Tal: Allready explained

Re: To the Staff...
Well, if you ever need any help, or want a new staff member to help with ANYTHING at all.

I would love to join the ranks!
