Hey, it's a good sign that you're willing to own up to it. Now let's all just forget this happened. lol
It might be easier to move to a CMS system, where certain news-posters can have moderator rights where their news submissions are automagically posted...

Does this involve actually gathering news or just sorting through submitted news? If it's the latter (or something similar to it), then I'm interested.

Being able to do both is best, and not as time-consuming as it looks.

I have a script that will check pages for updates, so I don't actually mind having to check. The problem is that I don't have a bunch of sites to check for updates already, so it makes the script kinda useless <img src=smilies/retard.gif>

I have both a script and a database of sites available to staff. That part is a non-issue. In fact, once you get used to it, I would say you could do several posts in under an hour.

Well if that's the case then I wouldn't mind checking sites.

You know what? I could do a few posts a day... either from work or after work. It might not be the entire queue, but I could do a couple for you.
I used to do it. Let me know.

It's ironic that I've offered my assistance, and Narvick, who posted the thread, continues to tell me he doesn't have the power to actually ADD anyone to the news staff; and that it's totally up to Sam.
...Uh, what?

I'm interested. Even tho I can't guarantee 2 hrs a day 7 days a week 100% of the time, I surely can improve the current situation around here! Now...where can I get an icon that matches my name?
I'll do it. I have too much free time anyway, but do I just wait for people to send news into the mailer, or do I go search the net for emulator updates and such?
Just wondering...I can do both <img src=smilies/magbiggrin.gif>
