Positions @ the NLSC

Mon Nov 29, 2004 8:50 pm

With the server move, I'm looking to expand the NLSC. We're now able to offer some things that were either too difficult or impossible to implement on the old server.

Patches

When the NLSC was first opened, it offered hosting for third-party patchmakers. Although we were able to do this on GameSpy, it was difficult to add new members to the team as getting new FTP accounts was a real chore. However, now that I have control over FTP accounts again I would like to add some more patchmakers to the NLSC Team.

As a member of the patchmaking team, you would get:

  • FTP Access for uploading files and preview images
  • An @nba-live.com email account
  • A news posting account to announce your work on the main page
  • Access to the Downloads section to add your files to the database (or, if you're not comfortable with that, you can let me know about your latest work via the submission form and I'll add them with the other submissions)
  • The most exciting feature, an NLSC Team Member title and "badge" in the Forum

You would of course have to comply with the various hosting policies that we have agreed to abide by. I will discuss these with anyone who is interested in joining the team.

While we should be able to host some third-party patches, I highly recommend Mikki's excellent new project, NBAFiles.com for those hosting needs.

As a patchmaker on the team, if you'd like to write any tutorials or feature articles for the site I'd be more than happy for you to do so. That is something else that we could discuss.

Technical Support Guru

I'd like to add someone with a good knowledge of hardware and troubleshooting to the team so that we could provide some unofficial technical support and offer general advice about upgrades and other hardware issues. If you think you fit the bill and would be interested in lending a hand, please let me know. As a member of the team, you would have:

  • An @nba-live.com email account
  • The most exciting feature, an NLSC Team Member title and "badge" in the Forum

Further access to the various databases and scripts may be necessary depending on expansion of the role, that is something than can be discussed.

Feature Article Writer/Columnist

We're hoping to have more special features, articles and columns on the NLSC. If you feel you'd make a good featured columnist, please let me know.

What you would get:

  • An @nba-live.com email account
  • Access to news posting and feature posting, depending on your role
  • The most exciting feature, an NLSC Team Member title and "badge" in the Forum


Please note that these are all unpaid positions. The NLSC is a non-profit website, we're all doing this for fun and out of our enthusiasm for the NBA Live series. If you're interested in any of the positions mentioned here or would like to discuss the possibility of being involved in the NLSC in some other way, please get in touch with me at andrew@nba-live.com or through the forum's PM system.

Hope to hear from you soon. :)

Thank you to everyone for the enthusiastic response to the positions offered at the NLSC. While we're still open to more patchmakers joining the team, applications for the position of columnist/feature article writer are now closed. There will be more openings in the near future. I look forward to introducing new members of the NLSC Team very soon.

File Additions

As you can see, we're continuing to restore our Downloads section after the server move. A huge thanks to Alexboom and Andreas for their help with this unenviable task. However, I am looking for another person to help out with this job and to generally assist me with the File Additions here at the NLSC. If you're interested such a position, please contact me.
