Hey folks,

I think as you can see on the staff roster on the site, stuffs getting a tad thin on the staff. Beav is in lala land doing school stuff, Kevin is off to pursue working on Nuke reactors and fun stuff like that, and everyone else besides Bri, Ph and myself are gone and busy with life.

Now this cant stand. One thing that’s hard about finding new folks to step up and perform on the staff is finding people who not only know how to write but have the time to write, and have the knowledge to back up what they are writing about. Its a very rare combination and rarely websites have even 1 person that can fulfill those requirements.

I think if there are some people like that I could find them in here, But I have come to terms that I suck as a recruiter... of all the people I have tried to get on the site, many have helped a lot, but an equal amount never did anything. Some are not even listed as Alumni simply because after a bunch of talk back and forth and inviting them onto the site, they said "Cool! I will get right onto getting stuff done for ya!" and well 3 years later, and I still have nothing from them

So, if you: [list=1][*]are smart or at least have an open mind and are willing to learn[*]SERIOUSLY have the time to commit to producing interesting articles/reviews at least once a month[*]and have a solid grasp on how to write with some flare and style. ( no one has 3 days to proof and fix bad writing including me).[*]Have a Digital Camera that’s not a POS[*]Have a solid interest in high end cooling and advancement in cooling technology.[*]Have a good personality and attitude. Looking for mature, and personable folks.[/list=1]
Then I think we can use you on the site. Please PM me in the forum, reply, send carrier pigeon, or email me if you are interested in helping the site.

We currently are in a nice solid position with our sponsors, and reader base and I think we have a ton of potential to kick it up a few notches if we could just get some more solid writing talent on the site. (cause lord knows I suck

)

What would really rock is to get some niche or independent writers out there that run their own lil sites to come onboard. I am sure we could work something out where they could host their site on the PC server as a lil money saving perk to them

I am just thinking of ways to get the best writing staff I can on the site to help solidify ProCooling as the center for all things cooling related. (yet still nicely niche like

)

If you got questions you can normally find me in the Pro/Chat after 6:00pm every day. ( or one of the other staffers or regulars.)
