Thread: Speak Now or Forever Hold Your Peace

Well, it really depends on which programming language we'd be working with. Have to brush up a bit, but still have my books handy if I need reference. My programming experience is fairly limited as I had to leave school early on due to unforeseen financial complications, but I do still maintain a bit of what I learned and can pick it up again with fair ease. The best asset I have working in my favor is the ability to comprehend things easily, which I've always possessed. As far as what languages I've worked with, basic and C mostly. Been a while, but you don't really unlearn those sort of things, though I would have to brush up a bit, as I said. And since a lot of what we do here on the forum is also centered around BBC code, which I am very familiar with, then that's not as much of a challenge. I'm not going to try and bluff my way into a position, as I'm volunteering more out of a desire to simply be of some help to a forum I greatly enjoy rather than have any delusions about being in charge of anything. I personally am not normally one who likes to be in a leadership position, having been Admin on two different Old WoD Java chat based RP communities in the past, and inheriting all the headaches that came with the position. . I do, however, want to assist in any way I can until someone better suited can possibly step up and fill the position. So, just to help you guys out a bit in determining things and to make sure nobody reads more into anything I say in any way more than I intended it, I am far from an expert at programming, and as stated before, I have SOME experience with it, though haven't had to apply it in years. I have the reference material to help me fill in the gaps, and my brother, who is closer to an expert, having been fully schooled, is readily available to help me if something turns out to be beyond my knowledge or experience. I just don't want people banking solely on me being a programming genius. While I do have a high aptitude for anything technical, my skills are still limited by my education in the matter. I can build computers from components and do anything with most operating systems as well as set up networks and lighter IT related tasks. It's been a long time since I've messed around in DOS though, so it might take me some practice to get back into it. Now, with that being said, I'd be happy to share what I can with you, Veks. Just PM me with any questions you have. I just had to make sure people understand what I was saying, and make sure I'm not selected by default because I can do a little programming. I'd much rather be selected based on trust and honesty, and if there's someone better for the job, I'd rather it be given to them truthfully. I just want to help if I can, but you'll never hear any argument or protest from me if someone more qualified or with a better rapport with other members is selected over me. Addendum If someone in a different time zone steps up to the plate, feel free to put me on the back burner, as I am probably the newest member out of your list, and haven't socialized a lot with many of the other members of the board. Most of my posting history, as you may see, is in actual RP and not so much in OOC boards, though I know as a mod I'd have to get in the habit of watching OOC boards. I have no problem with doing that, but I'd rather see someone in the position that people are comfortable with. As for PK, that happened way before my time it seems, but honestly, if it was that long ago and things have been okay since, I don't see the harm in a second chance at all. People in general seem to like PK, so I'd back her. Finally, on a side note, I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving! Also, I'm feeling a bit better, so should be back in the saddle soon and picking up the Role-Plays I'm involved in. Truly sorry once more for leaving folks hanging, but my body just turned against me for several days there. I'm looking forward to continuing my activities here, be it as a mod or a member, and want to thank you all for being patient with me this week. Happy Thanksgiving everyone. And I promise, sooner or later I'll stop editing this post. .
