In a sense it does - WebSense is a content-filtering proxy server. Of course, this is not the relevant thread...

I'll be willing to copy-edit anything you guys need, as always, especially with summer upon us.

Or, if you want to toss me in a department to make progress in some way, in some field--well, Zhen, I can talk to you.
 
Want to make a skin for us that's not black and white? :p
 
I don't have the ability to do that sort of thing. I don't have much web-design experience. I'm better off actually writing stuff. Or reading stuff. Or making stuff work.
 
You could always write opinion pieces.

~Almost anytime I work so best time for me to do stuff is on Sunday's and Mondays but i'm alway's online when i get off work

~I speak Enlish only sorry and i'm a people person *thanks to wal-mart*

I'm available after 2pm (GMT) on a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, after 5pm (GMT) on a Saturday, and after 4pm (GMT) on a Sunday. But not all the time.
I only speak English fluently, and a little bit of German and a very limited bit of Japanese. I have connections with all the games shops in my local area.
Why should I have the job? I know huge amounts about Nintendo, even the little picky bits that most don't care about. I have a lot of free time on my hands, meaning I can really go for it.
 
Reporter: Nintendo
Avalibility: Starting Augest 16th i have high school, always free after school.
Skills: Good writer, has experience withe daily news articles and nintendo info.

I should be chosen for this position because I am the highest ranked member on Nintendo Fansite Gonintendo (www.gonintendo.com). There I act as Pokemon and DS rep. By being such a high member there I have connections to the Nintendo PR rep and can confirm all information. I have been working at gonintendo for about 3 months and will stay there even if I get this job. I also have 36 DS games.
 
Those of you interested in positions, please PM me a sample of your work. If you haven't written any formal news stories, then choose a recent event or news story related to your position and write an article about it and then send it to me. You may post on Bulbanews whenever you like, but I am not going to add any official staff members until I see your skills.

It would be much appreciated. Thanks.
