iOi,

I am also wondering if there is any certain incentive in this. I am a graphic designer and would like to help. My business site is http://www.subodesign.com and I also run some t-shirt websites at http://www.redpilldesigns.com and http://www.cafepress.com/filmfreak

Let me know of what assistance I can be.

See, look at that. A designer who will work for money. You can't expect things to be done for free, and if you do, you'll get subpar work.

Yeah, but that defeats the purpose of this work being done on the 'community' side. By registering with this website, you have joined a community - and, in any community, you're supposed to pitch-in and help out in anyway you can for no other reason than to benefit the whole. Do you think the mods here get paid anything? For that matter - do you think the mods over at sites like IGN or Gamespot get paid?!?!?

I'm managing my son's T-Ball team this year - I don't get paid squat to do it - but I'm helping my community by teaching other kids how to play baseball... ...and that's pretty much what ioi is asking for here. If you don't want to be involved, no harm - no foul. You shouldn't expect to get paid for it...

...besides - aspiring journalists or web programmers will, at the very least, have something to stick on their resume. :)

 

 Head of Marketting and Advertising.

Anywhere else, is a job, you get paid.

 

Head News Editor.

Journalists get paid.

 

Graphics Designer

You go to school for a degree, you normally get paid.

 

The rest are smaller things which anyone could do if they were explained on how to do it.  The point is, don't expect community work to be free.  I doubt you get over 1 million people watching your sons games a month.
