Blog Curators! Looking for Volunteers again! [Please fill the App] -CLOSED-

[Oizen]

You've probably noticed by now that the KCMM Blog is pretty lifeless. It gets an update once every 2 months at best. Its not any of our team member's fault, we were rather foolish to stick to the old hacking team formula anyway. I remember when people would form new hacking teams every two seconds in an attempt to copy Syntax Error or some other one of the bigger teams. As brawl hacking went on, this team formula became incredibly obsolete.

So what are we planning to do about it? Instead of recruit more members to the team and repeating this again in half a year, we've decided to work out a new system. We've decided to ditch the entire team formula entirely.


We're looking for people who spend a lot of time on Brawl Vault to find new and decent hacks and to make articles about them on the KCMM blog. Hopefully this will get things moving again.  and hey its free publicity for hackers, thats always good right?



What is expected of these "Blog Curators"

-Find decent hacks on Brawl vault and type up a brief article about it to feature it on our blog
--Do that maybe once a week, possibly more, but it be best not to flood the blog.

These blog posts are meant to promote quality, originality and know-how. They are not meant to shame less talented hackers. Forum rules still apply on the blog.


The requirements for this position are:
-Fluently speak English
-Know how to navigate Brawl Vault.
-Spend a reasonable time on the Vault to best hand pick the hack you want to showcase.
-Have a good taste in hacks
-Actual Hacking skills are not required, thought it doesn't hurt to know what you're talking about.


Its a pretty simple job, but what are the benefits?
A Custom User group, with a new name color, stars, the works.
Ability to set a custom title by yourself
A Blog account capable of posting on the KCMM Blog
Miacis will love you

This is pretty similar to the features we used to do, but instead the blog will be made up of nothing but features.Basically its a project to use our blog to give some recognition to lesser known hackers.

To apply, fill in the following application and post it in this thread or PM it to me or Albafika:

1. Why do you want this position?

2. Have you written for a blog before?

3. When you aren't lurking the Vault, how do you spend your time?

4. When you browse the Vault, what kind of Mods catch your attention?

5. What do you usually browse the Vault for?

6. Do you have pets, if so, what's their name?

7. If you met your favorite hacker, what would you say to them?

8. How are you feeling today?

I spend an unhealthy amount of time on the forums and vault daily, admittedly. I'd totally be willing to do it, count me in!

[Puraidou]

I wouldn't mind doing this, i check BV daily for hacks to approve and such.

[SJS]

This is a great idea, hope you guys get things moving soon.

Actually I mulled it over and I'd like to volunteer to write up some hack features. Between making CSPs and modding the Vault, I see plenty of hacks. Plus I do enjoy writing.

[WarioManX]

I accept your challenge!

I spend far more time lurking around the vault (nearly daily) for awesome hacks and repairing broken ones then actually posting, so I volunteer my hands to the cause. Treat them well.

[Linnc]

I'd like to :)

[SonicBrawler]

Im on here more than I think i should. And I obviously know my way around the vault. I would enjoy doing this.

Make that two.

[chaokid999]

I check this site for new hacks multiple times a day, and I find lots of cool, older hacks after digging through the vault for a couple of hours. Count me in if there is still an open seat!

[Akeno/Archer]

Sounds like a good idea! I'd really like doing this!

[Granfalloon]

As someone who spends way too much time here, it sounds like an awesome idea. I'm always marveling at the works of hackers on the vault and would love to read what other people think of the hacks too. I already follow many hackers' personal blogs like Tock's Project M Unlocked tumblr, an entire blog dedicated to everyone's hacks would be ideal for me.

Glad to see all the support this ideas getting. Would be nice if we could get some traffic going to the blog again.

[Convour]

I'm counting at least 10 so far. That should be good to get the ball rolling, right?

Yeah, but not everyone is being made into one. We'll probably start of with 3-5. :P

[TheDarkMysteryMan]

I would love to. I go on brawl vault almost everyday so I guess it dosent hurt to try.
