Want to volunteer to help in some way? Feel free to post it here so woof and the others will know that you're willing to help and where. :)
We've had a couple of volunteers already via PM's. I thought I'd open this thread because my PM indicator is kinda iffy when there are multiple GM recipients.

Web hosting - I able to get good deals on reliable web hosting - I only need be told how much space needed for RPoL and piktures - then I go get good deal and kum bak and tell you how much - then you treasurer decide.
Really, I can do this. Like I posted before, I just need to know what we need.

Re: Volunteers
Hi guys,
Sending in a donation today. Just came to the RPOL site in the last couple of weeks. Very cool indeed, just warming to it in two games. I am willing to help in some fashion.
I have time to spare for this, though am am neither a net nurd, computer geek, or rulesmonger (I believe in the absolute deity of GM's). But if there is somewhere I can help, I will.

Just let me know, what, and I'll work with you to do it as best I can.
Have a great day,
Raymond : )

Re: Volunteers
I can also spend some time doing grunt work. I'm pretty good at turning pictures into portrait size, but there's a lot of us who can do that. Anyway, mindless task? I'm your man!

Re: Volunteers
Mindless Tasks, have you got any that don't require that much mental energy. LOL
Just let me know what I can do, I'll let you know if I can do it.

Re: Volunteers
I'd be willing to help, but I'm not going to say that I would be available to help with whatever's necessary because that simply isn't true. However, I really don't know what needs to get done, what anyone needs help with, and how much of a time commitment it entails.
Could someone create a Help Wanted thread that states what needs to be done and how much time it should take... along with any other pertinent details of the task? Maybe then I would have a better idea of how I could be of help.

Re: Volunteers
Thanks everyone. Friends of RPOL is still in the organizational stages, but hopefully we'll be able to coordinate so that the things that woof wants done and would like help with gets matched up will all the volunteer skills.
However, your posts let him know that he's got a lot of support and a lot of people who appreciate having this warm, friendly site to indulge in their favorite roleplay hobbies, and that we're all willing to pitch in.
:)
Thanks again for helping to make the site the friendly place that it is.

Re: Volunteers
One of the p[roblems we have at the moment, is that while we have talked generally about finding people to help, we haven't been able to pin down any specific jobs with Jase - so its difficult to advertise ATM.
I want to concentrate on getting the Donations side working first - because paying for the server is probably the most effective thing we can do to make sure RPoL can support itself.
However, I guess that one of the ares that needs some work are the FAQs. I Wrote the beginners FAQ sometime ago but wasn't able to have a go at the others. Woof has done a good job with them - BUT are those FAQs what you needed whan you came here as a new player/Admin?
Could you rewite them?
Should we write a PBW conversion FAQ for those guys who come over here if PBW does close next June? How about conversion FAQs for other game sites? Should we write those to help new users settle in when they come here?

Re: Volunteers
If you'd like, I can create a PBWers Guide to Rpol.
