Well it's more a policy that Omnimaga staff needs to participate to the forums, I don't want staff that appears like once a month to tell they added a new sprite to their projects or changed the title screen a bit.

It's a matter of personal opinion, though. From experience, staff with so few posts or so few posts in the last few months usually dissapeared after a few months. Tama, Tstach, JFISH, Harrierfalcon, JincS, BCTurk (altough he left on his own), Master Jc, Snake (not the guy on Revsoft), Tstach. All are staff who hardly ever posted when hired and they all dissapeared every few months and I had to beg them to post every few week.

Personally if I have to beg to a staff to even post at all, I feel he doesn't really care.

Interesting, don't see post relation important. I've been part of Unitedti since early 2006, which is pretty long to meh in the calculator "scene", but I only haz 16 posts. :P

Oh well ;o
I had about 400 and now about 425ish, from 2006 I was/am staff there too :P

Btw, there are some chances that the minimum post count in 2 months requirement is lifted to apply for staff. However, it will only be with the approval of the rest of the current Omnimaga staff next week. There are no deadline to apply yet too. It might simply be reduced a bit, maybe to 20 or 25, since one of our staff didn't even have that about a week ago. The 2 months old account requirement will still stand, though

Hmm, this staffing suddenly doesn't seem like the best idea. If anything, I think you should lose the less active members, unless they reported they would be away for some time.

Call it a premonition if you will. It just doesn't look professional to have all those staff members o_O

I suppose if you planned to lay a few off, then it would be ok. I dunno. I'm just gonna shut my mouth now :X

well in the past we had 25 staff for 2 years in a row and 20 during the second half of 2007 and we didn't have problems, except two staff in particular who started causing trouble, especially the CDI guy when I hired Netham45. (he hated Netham45 for no reason) We were guaranteed to at least have 4 or 5 projects progressing regulary.

THe major difference right now is that the staff I hired so far are mostly people I knew for a long while before adding them to the team.

-You must have followed the forum rules in your entire stay at Omnimaga (this includes all incarnations of Omnimaga forums from 2004 to 2009 and the IRC channel)

I feel discriminated aganst.

srsly though. last thursday someone tried to roleplay with me and they wound up calling the party van and they dialed whine one one to get the wambulance to take them to intensive care (because nobody gave a crap.)
