The part time positions at least generally don't have benifits like health care, but most of us part timers have time for a full time job as well, so it works out.


1. Assuming the Full Time employee's get Health Care, how good is it?
2. Have you had much luck finding someone to fill Danalanalog's old position?

What MMOs have the most players visit here?

Like, uh, some sort of top 5 list by traffic.

I've been meaning to ask this for a long time because I have no idea what it is:

What is the purpose of the check box above "Post Messsage" on a new thread that is also above "Add Signature" called "Parse Markup?"

I can leave it checked or unchecked and it doesn't seem to make a difference-- though I am not very observant.

I don't know that they do. one of the full timers would have to answer that. And no, we are still critically short on developers. We need at least 3 or 4 more.

WOW (main site)
FFXI (forums has more than Wow, but less people visiting site overall)
After that, EQ2, Warhammer and Eq still get alot of traffic, but i'm unsure of which order to rank them. WoW is the top traffic by a large margin at this point.

Parse markup turns on or off markup tags. If you turn it off, the post looks something like this.

Edit: it is apperently not functional at the moment either.

I also have another question pertaining to the Web Designer / Artist slot currently available.
If you had someone apply that was skilled as an Artist, but not a Web Designer, would they be considered as a part time position?

He used content of PM's sent to him in confidence as an admin in a post admin skirmish with another poster. We chose to disable the account rather than allow that possibility in the future. It was not an easy decision, but showing that we will not tolerate that under any circumstances was important. My job effectiveness depends on people being willing to communicate with me. If they won't because they are afraid an admin will use something they send against them, that hampers my effectiveness.

That was the sole decideing factor.

2. What are my admin notes?
3. How come stupid fanfiction on Caitsith, Bismarck, and Garuda and a mini OOT thread in Valefor can get a sticky, but my legendary Pandemonium thread can't get a sticky?
