Looking for "employees" to help with a site

Swashbuckler · Post by **Swashbuckler** » Fri Dec 02, 2005 9:23 pm

I'm starting a website. Basically, it's going to be an extensive archive of ZZTers; including pictures, biographies, games, history, whatever. Now, I would normally be doing this myself, however...

I don't know anything about building a website, really. I know how to host my server, and stuff like that, but building a website is out of the question. I could do it with shitty HTML and so on, but it would take me forever and I don't have that kind of time.

So, I'm looking for someone who knows a good deal of PHP or whatever to help me out with this website. I will pay based on the structure, effort, uniqueness, and whatever else I can think of. I'm not going to be cheap, here. I'm generally serious about this.

If you'd like to take me up on this offer, please email me or hit me up on AIM. swashbuckler@peopledie.net , or SwashMustDie.

Thanks!

P.S. I am also looking for volunteers to help me gather any information, pictures, whatever I can get my hands on. You can email me pictures of you, too. I've already downloaded the entire IF picture gallery with permission from Hercules. If you'd like to check out my list of ZZTers so far, go to http://67.161.85.96/pictures/ .

Thanks, guys!

no good with html, but i'll totally help with the resource aspect of the site if you like

My ZZT time capsule would be useful.

By the way I think Wikipedia is free software so you could run one of those, which would lend itself well to the whole thing.

I also decided to make some information files for my time capsule. Here is an example!

Nadir's Mom

By various
Original Author: Dr. Dos

History:

Looking around in the incomplete Frost 2 file you'll find a board with various music composed by MadTom for the game. One of thse songs is called Nadir's Mom and is a parody of the Fountain's of Wayne song Stacey's Mom. The song was a recreation of Stacey's Mom in ZZT replacing Stacey with Nadir.

Dr. Dos when bored one day decided to take some pictures to create a pretty picture using the lyrics. Thus Nadir's Mom A-C were born. Mooseka then posted them on z2 on Feb 21, 2004 where others proceeded to make their own.

Nadir's Mom Z - This never existed. Our goal was to get a picture of Nadir's actual mother for it, but Nadir is a jerk.

The following is an explanation of all the existing Nadir's Mom pictures in the order of Nadir, Nadir's Mom, and MadTom.

M - Fat guy dressed as a baby, Some random girl, Some random guy
N - Man in a cowboy hat, Some random science related diagram, Guy who looks like he's from the 50s
O - Asterix, Tipper Gore, a boy sitting a corner with a dunce cap conehead
P - Gofer's father, Gofer's mother, Gofer's dog
XXX - Various furry porn done by Jeremy Bernal

Others included:

Ozy, Ms. Mudd, Millie
ZZT Nadir, ZZT Penny from Frost, ZZT MadTom
Photo of Nadir, Photo of Nadir's Hello Kitty, Photo of MadTom
Dos's Dog, Dos's dog's stuffed fox toy, drawing of a <:D on a piece of paper

Okay, I'll make a template for the resource part, which includes what of each person I want. You can make one for yourself only, for now, because I know what we all think of Scorch and Atrocity and stuff.
