I had an ingenious idea. If you need something done for a FreeSpace mod, post in this thread. If you are willing to do work for a project, post in this thread. Find someone offering the service you are looking for.
Thread Usage Guidelines:If you are looking for a project member, begin your post with "
Wanted: ______" in bold, on its own line, with a blank line below this one.
If you are looking for a service, begin your post with "
Request: ______"
If you are giving a service, begin your post with "
Service Available: _______" or "
Talent Available: ________"
If you are offering to trade a service/talent/thing for another service/talent/thing, begin with "
Will Trade: ________ for ______"
If the status of your request changes, please add below this line one of the following:
- "Invalidated" or "Cancelled" or "No Longer Available" or "No Longer Needed"
- "Replied, Work In Progress"
- "Replied, Complete"
- "Customer Found"
- "Customer Found, Still Available"
If
more than a week has passed since you posted, and you still are awaiting a reply, add this: "
Still awaiting replies"
Follow this with a more specific description of what you are offering and/or what you want.
Try to keep track of your requests and such, and please update the status text (line below the topic line) quickly if the status changes. And please, if you have responses that are directed specifically at one post,
use PM, so that it's easier to search, etc. This includes guideline comments. If you have suggestions to improve the guidelines, feel free to PM me as well.
Template:Type of Post: Specific thing offered/needed/whatever, in a few wordsStatus of request/service/whatever, if applicableDescription of the thing you need or are offering, or the trade you are willing to make. Make it detailed without going overboard. Please use PM to respond to posts in this thread, so that it is easier to look through and find what hasn't been fulfilled, or if you have a general message to users, me, moderators, etc., pertaining to this thread:
post the message in italics.Recent Update (as of 3/27/08):I've noticed a lot of requests and not a lot of replies. To facilitate the success of this thread, please browse through existing posts looking for people offering the service you need or people who are in need of a service you can give. Also, please
offer services! If you have free time there are people who you might be able to help.
Also, it's limegreen, not green, and purple for unfulfilled requests (which shouldn't be noted as anything unless it's been a week or more since you posted them).
Comments and things that do not fit in your requests/services/classifieds should go in italics so that people can know to ignore them when skimming the lists.
I am also considering a recommendation that you remove any "garbage" posts you made, but I'll have to think about this and look through to see how interrelated they are. Most of them could have been averted if people had just used PM and then edited the existing posts, which is what I think would work the best.
