Hey guys,

goofans.com as you know seeks to be the central resource for all World of Goo fan information. It has a fair bit of content but could use a whole lot more:

I'm currently seeking:

- authors who are willing to write up information that is currently lacking on the site - ideas welcome, but a few things that immediately spring to mind are: hints for each level; tips for gameplay; tips for ocd; common problems/questions; getting new content/levels; developing new addins. You'll get author access to create new pages and update existing ones.

- moderators to keep an eye on new content pages, moderate forum posts and page comments, approve new uploaded addins, and monitor published profiles/level stats (a new feature coming v.soon) for cheating. You'll get guidelines for what to do, and oversight access accountable only to me.

If you're interested, get in touch: my e-mail address is in the logo besides my name on the left. Examples of prior work in related fields would be helpful but not necessary.

-davidc

Hey davidc!

Have you still got my uploaded v1.1 Waterlogged level? I noticed King of the Jungle was appearing in the list but not Waterlogged...

I'll resubmit it if it's gone missing x

It's here now: http://goofans.com/download/level/waterlogged (it didn't have its type set to "level" previously)

Re: goofans.com seeking authors and moderatorsStickybomb6703/28/2009 - 12:02

I would be willing to do either; anything to help out a fellow fan of Goo.

If I could possibly make new stuff, I would.

I have the Demo on Mac and game on Wiiware, so...

It interests me the only thing is that I'm at college so my time is limited.

Re: goofans.com seeking authors and moderatorsdavidc03/29/2009 - 15:07

Thanks for the interest, I'm going to put together pages with guidelines and responsibilities and e-mail you all back individually tomorrow.

Re: goofans.com seeking authors and moderatorsStickybomb6704/05/2009 - 08:34

Yup. I type admin, but say administrator. ;)
