Yeah I like how SMF has the stats public (or can be made public) like this. On Invisionfree you needed admin panel access to view them and on PHPBB, I heard there are no stats at all.

EDIT: Keep in mind the new member registrations count is wrong, though, because this winter about 3500 spambots per month signed up.

Well back then we only added calc ones because there were just too many people applying and the team barely had any spot left (one which was taken by Shmibs and the other was reserved for SirCmpwn). Now there are like 5 spots left. I think you should send a PM to Eeems or another admin to apply, though, because sometimes they may not perform an hiring run, but maybe they still accept new CoT.

Yeah as I said to Spyro, if you are interested I think you should PM an admin, so he can redirect your PM to the rest of the team. Activity-wise I guess you would just need to ensure you have 5 posts in the last 30 days minimum consistently during Summer and 10 during school year, or whatever are the new rules now. And yeah from time to time I think some people on Cemetech invite Omni members there, especially Casio guys, and I myself did it with some people who asked DCS/SC questions.

I think eventually I'll start linking to omni again on other sites, instead of my Bandcamp store, because I hardly get traffic there anyway and it might help Google ranking. Of course it helps if other staff and mods put Omni in their sig or a link to their forum profile on other sites, even if not necessarily calc-related, as long as it's allowed and not intrusive. I do not think anyone should advertise literally, as in just plain posting topics to join a site or another, since it's not good netiquette.

I'm planning to apply for musician CoT if I get back inspiration to make new music, but only as long as no moderator work is required.

I hate those touchpads. Everytime I always click stuff by mistake because it's too sensitive. I wish we had to press it to click stuff, like on a TI-Nspire, but without the choppiness of the TI-Nspire touchpad.

That must be as hard as winning The Game!

in previous CoT hiring sessions, some requirements were laid out for potential applicants, like these:

-Have 100 posts
-Have been active posting for at least one month
-Have a good forum/IRC behaviour during that period
-Be involved in at least one of the following:
 *TI or Casio game programming
 *TI or Casio game development tools (on calc or on the computer)
-Have a project under development (screenshots or topic needed).
-The language used to program games and tools doesn't matter.

this is a good list to look at, but whether or not you are made a part of the team is still up to the team itself. if you think you qualify, just send a PM explaining why to anyone on this list:
Managers
-Qwerty.55
-Shmibs
-Deep Thought
-Eeems*
-Netham45*

we'll talk it over with everybody and then get back to you =)

Let it be known, I have not left omnimaga and I do and will continue to check in here often, although I haven't had enough time to comment as much as usually I have been a tad busy with something a bit special
