Dear Zandronumers,
as real-life draws more and more attention lately (it was a huge task to find enough time to update the Realm667 to the latest available CMS and forum software), I think it would be a good decision to recruit people from the community who are interested in contributing and maintaining news on the news portal at http://www.realm667.com/. It's all about the community, mostly what's happening in the various forums (doomworld.com, zandronum.com, zdoom.org, drdteam.org) in terms of projects, sourceports and other interesting trivia as well as cross-posting news from Doomworld and other Doom news and review portals related to classic Doom.
The system is quite easy and if you are active in the community, it shouldn't be a big deal for you to post a new news article with relevant information and a screenshot to the frontpage portal of the Realm667 once or twice a week to keep the site running and interesting. The good thing is: You have total freedom in your choices and what's relevant for other people. You can take a look at previous news items to get an idea what I have posted so far just to make decisions a bit easier. Everything else is up to you. So if you are interested as you are interested in showcasing what's happening in the community, just let me know and we can give it a try :)
Just send me a pm, tell me a little about you, your Doom experience and how long you are active in the community, and I will reply as soon as I can,
Looking forward to your help and interest,
thanks already in return,
best regards,
Dan

get someone from doomworld, they love writing. Singleplayer content >>>>>> multiplayer content in terms of project counts too, so even better.

I don't think that this is a good decision. The Zandronum community is a special place and Doomworld doesn't cover most of it. Someone directly from here would be a better choice.Combinebobnt wrote:get someone from doomworld, they love writing.

I dont mind writing stuff if you need someone. I don't know how long I will keep interest into this but I suppose I could lend a hand with writing Zan-related stuff if anything even happends at all.

thanks we're flattered. Just said that because I always saw mostly super zdoom singleplayer projects on r667 news.Tormentor667 wrote:I don't think that this is a good decision.

Re: [Realm667] Looking for news authors?
The point is that I am not part of the Zandronum community as I am simply not a multiplayer-interested player. My focus is on single player projects and ZDoom as I am editing for ZDoom as well, that's where I know what projects happen and are under development. This doesn't mean though that I don't want to showcase Zandronum stuff as well - it's the opposite actuallyCombinebobnt wrote:thanks we're flattered.

@Fused - If you are really interested, please send me an email to info@realm667.com - I would reply with some more info about the system and how things work. Looking forward to this :)
