1. Why I would like to be a citizenI haven't been as active on the forums as I would like to be. That might be a strange way to start an application but I feel that as active as I have been it is nowhere near the level I hope to reach. In an age where forums are on the decline this one strikes me as the kind I miss from the golden years. From what I've been able to ascertain the vague principles behind Exilian as it stands today are ones that align fairly well with my personal motivations.
With the second upcoming Exilicon I feel it is only appropriate that I seek the approval of the community before becoming further involved. I don't wish to be an outsider interfering in your business, however well meaning I may be in my advisory bumbling!
2. What I think I can offerA great deal of experience in all sorts of different things. During my student days I founded a student society which won Best Society in its second year. I've run a gaming magazine before (
Issue 1,
Issue 2. N.B. PSP magazines were usually collections of images formatted to the exact screen resolution of the PSP: 480x272. They'd sit as a folder on the device and the shoulder buttons made it easy to flip through the pages), I've admin'd a forum since 2005 (pretty much retired at this point), a video podcast (as part of my student society - 50 episodes), organised a number of events, worked at others (T in the Park, The International Festival of Falconry) in various roles.
That lot should probably have been bullet points. There's also the work I've done on
tUGS creating new content for Gorkamorka, collecting old content, sorting out legal issues with regards to copyright wherever possible, and so on. These days I run
Fox Box (I have
a thread here where you can learn more if you're interested) where I sculpt miniatures and make copies, amongst other things.
I can also do things like video editing (unsurprising, I suppose!), image manipulation, DTP, a bit of coding (mostly PHP and MySQL at the moment but I hope to learn more when I have more time), a bit of server management (Nothing too advanced - I still hate setting up mail servers), and other generalised techy stuff.
3. Type of ApplicationDirect vote, I suppose. I hope you'll have me.
