Search Update

by Russ Oates on Jan 9, 2009 7:26 PM MST in Miscellaneous

The response both in the thread and in e-mails I have received has been enormous. I know I haven't responded to every e-mail that was sent to me. So let this be a response to all of them:

Thank you for the interest. We'll have more information regarding the search this weekend, when we officially start it.

UPDATE (Rox Girl):

I don't want to get the front page of the site overwhelmed by these writer search threads, so rather than posting a separate further update, I'll just tack what we have so far to Russ's post. Right now, we have had ten people express interest in and stated an ability to meet the requirements for the two writing positions either via e-mail to Russ or myself or in the comments of the initial thread on Wednesday:

theoldgrizzlybear
roxintober
Poseidon's Fist
Sandlotkid8
rockinthepile
Purple Rox
Jabberwocky
Toonafeesh

Also two that don't have usernames as of yet, with the initials of B.P. and S.C. (to protect your privacy until you do happen to have usernames). If there are any others interested, please inform either Russ or me (by e-mail or you may post your interest in this thread) by no later than Sunday night, 10 p.m. MST. As Russ mentioned, we are greatly encouraged by the response thus far. I am going to ask that those that have already expressed interest (as well as anybody that may not have yet) e-mail to me their scheduled availability (at least two mornings that you could contribute a Rockpile, as well as at least one day/evening you would be available for a game thread and postgame wrap) as we will likely be looking for candidates to make a trial posting run in the next phase of the search.

Thank you, and good luck.

Good call...

Thanks for leaving my name off the list. I would have been a horrible choice. For one I am incredibly lazy and two I get writer’s cramp in my carpal tunnel syndrome.

Great Job & Thank you

Rox Girl, Russ and the other contributors- thank you for all of your hard work and diligence in keeping this site positive, informative and a joy to read. I know this is not an easy task and you are to be commended for taking it on.

Thanks, again. I look forward each day to reading The Purple Row!

Whoops, I forgot one from the thread the other night it looks like,

wolf213 said he could be interested, if that’s still the case (and you happen to be reading the comments to this thread) go ahead and e-mail me your availability as well, if you don’t mind. If I omitted any others by mistake (Charlie77, DbacksSkins, sorry guys, but you didn’t clear the initial and painstakingly thorough vetting process for security clearances) please let me know.

It maybe

That, and we turned up some uncomfortable photographs of 'Skins in Imelda Marcos'

shoe closet. Plus there’s a pretty good chance he has ties to the Visigoths.

I think we are setting some kinda record today

for obscure old references…I mean Imelda Marcos AND Visigoths in the same post?

And Russ isn’t around either

That's why it was so shocking to find out!!

But the evidence is pretty clear that you were on the super secret Visigoth SBN page, 410Forever, this past October. A captured screenshot that will only look slightly photoshopped will be produced to prove it if you try to deny it.

Psssshhhht.

C’mon. You can’t REALLY expect anyone to believe that, can you?? I was there trolling!!

"Super secret Visigoth page"?

Pshaw! The super secret SBN page to be at it is the Atlantean one.

Okay, time's up for expressing interest...

I’ve received a few e-mails of availability for posting, but not everybody’s. I’ll e-mail those few back tomorrow morning what’s next, and also double check with the rest to confirm continued interest.
