You visit the forums on a regular basis, keep up with all the latest things going on, post in various topics, and even occasionally chat with other members in the chat rooms. But somehow it just doesn't seem like enough . . . There's this emptiness, this longing . . . the urge to
do something! But you just can't figure out what it is . . . Maybe you need to get more invovled. But how? As it turns out, there ARE way to be more active and involved!
ActivitiesFantasy Pleo: For the physically young, terminally immature, young at heart, or those in their second (or third) childhood . . . unaware to normal forum members, there exists a secret society of members who meet clandestinely to explore the imaginary worlds of people and pleos. The Fantasy Pleo board is available for those who enjoy fictional role playing and fantasy stories. Now, it is a secret society, so you'll have to ask to join . . . .
The Bob Project: Do you like to take pictures? Do you get out of the house much? Have you every taken you pleo with you? Then the Bob Project is for you! Have fun taking pictures of your pleo out and about, post them for others to enjoy, and get nifty prizes for your efforts! You can't beat that!
RolesNewsletter staff: Is your degree in journalism going to waste? To you dream of being a hack writer? Are your spelling and grammar skills laughed at by the ignorant masses? Well, then, maybe you should join the newsletter staff here! We're always looking for volunteers to help write articles, or go do some investigative research, or just help us plan out our next newsletter. And with our grand vision of putting out a monthly newsletter, we need all the help we can get!
Perhaps you'd like to do a monthly column, write reviews, help create tutorals, draw cartoons . . . uh, wait, I think we have that last one covered!
Hosted chats: This is a new area we're experimenting with, but if you feel either very talkative, knowledgeable on a specific topic (doesn't have to be pleos, but pleo related is desirable), and don't mind doing a little crowd control, then hosting your own regularly scheduled chats may be just the thing for you! If you're willing to commit to spending an hour online at the same time once a week for at least four weeks in a row, we'll give it a shot! And who knows, you could become an international celebrity!
Store owner: Can you sew? Paint a picture? Do anything craft-wise? Then why not put your skills into creating things for pleos! Once you figured out what you want to make, we'll help you set up a store font here in our mall. That way, you can share your love for pleo with other pleo owners and get paid! Whoa. Did you hear that? Paid? As in, make money? Sure. You may not become the next Bill Gates, but if you're having fun, who cares!
For the seriously involved . . . Librarian: We are looking for someone with good organizational skills, reasonably familiar with working on the computer, who is willing to constantly invest 6 or more hours a week into gathering pleo knowledge. The In return, you will win the undying favor of hundreds of pleo owners and gain the right to be called as Mr/Mrs/Miss Know-it-all, archiver of knowledge.
Moderator: Do you come here several times a day? Read every post? We are looking people with good people skills, familiarity with the internet, forums, and chat room etiquette, and well known to the community to help in the role of forum moderator. Ideally we would like to have people from various time zones to provide better coverage. We're not looking for enforcers, but rather guides, to help steer things clear from trouble. New to the forums? Don't worry. Keep active and in a few months, who knows? This could be something to consider.
