Ooh, what is this thread?
I'm a (socialist) professional writer serializing a WWII alternate history webnovel.

I CAN VOLUNTEERZ.
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
FOR WHAT!?
Brony? Moi? surely you jest!
I may need something more specific before I could say if I could help or not.
He who fights bronies should see to itthat he himself does not become a brony. And if you gaze for long into an abyss, Pinkie Pie gazes Also

Look at the first post. Anything in bold is a category one person take responsibility for.

Could I do two columns? One of my own, and one of the available ones?
Go play Kentucky Route Zero. Now.
Define "My own".

Thinking... Thinking... Thinking...
I would be willing to take over Forum Watch. If I think of something else fun for me to do, I will post it.

I think I Might want to do the meta humor column. What exactly does it entail?

I would ask for a position, but I'm kind of not the most responsible type, so...
Maybe I could read the posts before they go out, look for editing mistakes?
Nah, I would probably mess that up, too. -__-
Eh, I'll still read it, though!

Good.
No idea, actually. Never got around to it.
Heralds! And the three new mods! We need articles on those!
Putting on watchlist!
Hmm...I'll make quick, rough drafts. Feel free to take those and warp those for your needs.
During the holidays, Fast Eddie added a new staff position: Forum Heralds. They are identified by the badges that appear by their name in their assigned sub-forums. (Thanks to Lock for designing them!)
Their role is to guide newbies in their assigned sub-forum and answer questions. When a Troper posts in a particular sub-forum for the first time (or after a long time), the Welcomebot attached to each handle sends a welcome PM written by the herald. Don't be surprise. Feel free to ignore it, or ask a few questions. Just don't flip any of them off. That's a surefire way of being whapped with the banhammer.
Unlike all the other positions, being a Forum Herald is an actively-recruiting job. You can apply here
. The list of Heralds can be also found here.
New Moderators:
Due to On-topic Conversations getting a bit...flamey, a few changes had been made:
- Three new moderators had been installed. Best Of and Tropers/Katrika have been made full moderators, although their focus is OTC. Tropers/Shimaspawn had also been promoted from Engineer for Trope Repair Shop.
- New topics made in OTC have to be approved by a mod before any posts beyond the first one can be added.
- The "Straw Dog" thump tag had been added. Basically, a "straw dog" is when an outrageous argument is proposed for the purpose of everyone else ripping it apart and replacing it with a better argument. Since it had been observed that this can be mistaken as trolling and cause...flammy material, straw dogging is no longer around.
Remember, welcome our new moderators, and don't be afraid on using the holler button. In order to keep the forums civil, we have to respect the staff and the community.
Ch-ch-changes probably should be decided near time of publication.
Oh, and I nominate Extremely Short Timespan to have the trope spotlight. Either that, or Narrative Profanity Filter. Oh, and Rain would make a good Work of the Week. Or some other webcomic.
EDIT: How are we going to write this? Sandbox?

Mods are conscripts.
'All he needs is for somebody to throw handgrenades at him for the rest of his life...'
Suggestions:
- Change "volunteer job" to "actively-recruiting job" or "actively-recruiting position".
- I'd spell it "flamey".
Changed.
-poke-
Should I go ahead and write some of the things I mentioned?
Oh, SOPA! We should make an article on that!
Namely, having some fun with their avatars.
People who participated posted in this thread, although here are some amusing ones:

Yeah. Test how your article looks in Sandbox then PM it to me so I can compile it into the whole issue.
Okay.
Just for reference, I'm making my own personal sandbox. I'll wipe it once you receive it.

I always just used the forum Sandbox. If you look through it you'll even see all the old articles still in there.
Is it okay for me to use the wiki Sandbox?
What progress has everyone else done?
Wadaya need?
