Contact Us - News Items

Gizmo · #1 (**permalink**) 28th June, 2006, 10:02 AM

I've added an option under 'Contact Us' from the Front Page, called 'News'. If you are bouncing around the web and you see something that you think would be news-worthy, drop us a note with a link to the news item and why you think it is of interest. If we think it is something that would interest the rest of the forum (or it just tickles our fancy) we'll publish it on the Front Page, with credit to the person who found it!

You may become a very busy Gizmo because of this....

No worries. I actually hope I DO become very busy because of this.

That would be really good! I know that there are some members who would love to be able to give something back to AOA, but don't have the funds to support AOA. I think it is important to remember that money is not the only way to support AOA - everyone can do their own little bit in their own way!

And if you don't believe that take a look around you here. Every single thing you see is member created and maintained! Add you talents and time to ours!":O}

I'm waiting........taps foot impatiently, looks at watch

Ok, here, I'll make it even easier for you: just click on this little link right here and it will take your right to the news submission form. How easy is that?

I did it! but just to say hello. Can I get fined for that?

Samuknow · #9 (**permalink**) 29th June, 2006, 05:14 PM

I was going to ask if you were recruiting slaves....

Daniel ~ · #10 (**permalink**) 29th June, 2006, 05:41 PM

Yes, slaves and indentured servants! We accept people from just about ever level of servitude. All we ask is that you never ask to be paid and that you work harder than you ever thought you could then send the money to us.

WAIT! There is a plan B.

You can write on any relavent topic you choose to! You can slam a review down a manufactures throat!

You can influence the buying habits of our readers and help them to avoid YOUR mistakes!

And when a manufacture pleases you you can sing their praises without anyone wondering how much you were paid, because your writting about something you bought and use!

Do it well enough, ...or make a submission in a very slow month and we pay you!

( God that still doesn't seem right, to pay an author!?)
That's what happen's when you take on partners, you lose all control!":O}

Samuknow · #11 (**permalink**) 29th June, 2006, 06:02 PM

To be as serious as I possibly can, I would never expect to be paid....

I have been paid more than enough by being allowed to dwell in this place.

I have some cool stuff on the way. I will grab a few moments and write something up..

Daniel ~ · #12 (**permalink**) 29th June, 2006, 06:09 PM

You've made our editorial day!

(I'm using the editorial "our".)

((Just something I picked up hanging around "our" newsroom with Gizmo....))

Not to worry! No one around here would dream of allowing me to edit anything!

Daniel ~ · #13 (**permalink**) 30th June, 2006, 01:00 AM

Sam, if you'd really like to work for AOA on a REGULAR bases (and most importantly are able to, let me know,and think about how much time you might have on a regular bases. I'm sure we can work out something for you to do together. I have several equally distas...recent openings, ya that's the ticket, several recent openings!

(This does come under plan A. But if your doing your job here, we never expect you to have the free time to make to much money to send in.":O}

On the other hand we like to keep a few souls in the forms, people we haven't burn out on the front page, you know, guys what can still type!

Samuknow · #14 (**permalink**) 30th June, 2006, 05:16 AM

What do you have in mind? It seems that I spend mucho time here as it is. It would be great to contribute smoething more than my random bantering.

Daniel ~ · #15 (**permalink**) 30th June, 2006, 12:16 PM

I've E-mailed you.":O}

Nope! Not just a form! It puts the information you wish to share with our readers directly into our editors hands where they don't have to search the forum threads to find it.

Had you used the form, it might be up by now! ":O}
