We are always looking for site staff members, who are interested in providing the community with the latest ArmA/ArmA2 releases and information.

In particular we are looking for :


- Newsposter
Adding the latest News to our site. This may include WIP pics, Videos, Addon releases and more.

- Mission Admin
Adding Missions/Campaigns to our database.

- Translator
Translating news into any language from our language section. Or maybe you want your native language present on our website?

- Game Server Admin:
Your job is to search for MP Missions and add the missions to our gameserver. This might include converting missions. If you are interested in setting up a regular event on our server this is also welcomed.

- News Spotter:
Your task will be to search through various ArmA Forums and websites in order to find newsworthy informations like addon releases, WIP stuff, interesting articles, tutorials and more. If you find somethinmg you'll only have to Send in the News, providing the download link, source and screenshots.


You will not need any requirements, such as coding knowledge in order to post a news. Our site system is extremly user friendly and allows you to prepare a news within a few minutes.
We have also prepared several easy to understand tutorials (text and video).
Furthermore the site team will assist you on every problem you may encounter.

All we are asking for is, that you are motivated to help us providing the latest news to the community.
We do not force you to write any news, and if you are able to post a few news items a week, that's just fine !

If we have sparked your interest just post here, http://forum.armedassault.info/index.php?act=Msg&CODE=4&MID=11 or write an E-Mail to : recruitment@armedassault.info.

What do I need to be staff?
Thanks

I use your site a lot, so if you need help on the admin side, I can prolly help out.

I'm fairly new to ArmA, but I have a long list of bonafides for gaming and programming.

Sent an email from work, doubt it gets past our computer police, so I'm posting here.

I go by "TangoBlaster" in-game these days.

Regards,

Tango

"Programming"? What do you do?

Posted by: hispeed May 21 2009, 18:04

Programming...

In 70s, I was doing machine language with the military, involving a range of systems including crypto gear and missile systems.

In the 80s, I learned BASIC on my own and took graduate course in Pascal that got me interested in structured programming. I taught a course titled "Digital Computer Fundamentals" at Redstone Arsenal, for the U.S. Army Missle Command (USAMICOM), this was based on the old Z-80 chip set and 360 Winchester drives. At this time, I didn't realize it, but I was gradually migrating from harwdware to software. I was also involved in the testing of the old DARPANET, which was the precursor to the Internet, using Silent 700 terminals. In the mid 80s, I was trained in XENIX programming, and was a XENIX Level III Systems Admin in Germany -- I was the first one (that I know of) that figured out how to interface an Intel 310 Lan with the Bundespost telephone network.

In the 90s, I got interested in C++, as an amateur interest, and this has persisted off and on to the present. My favored C++ is Visual Studio 2008. I would rate myself as an intermediate level programmer, overall.

As far as gaming, I won't list out all the games I've played, but will mention the fact that made quite a few scripted maps for the Nova games including Delta Force Extreme and Joint Operations.

Currently, I'm the Deputy Web Director for a clan, and use PHP and HTML a lot, with MYSQL. I'm currently registered in a C++ oriented online course with the Game Institute. I own two commercial game engines, calledTorque Advanced and C4.

Hope this helps...obviously I'm and old guy with no life! LOL Btw, I see your siggy -- I lived in Germany for a total of 6 years, when I was working with Army Air Defense, in the 80s (bei Nurenburg).

English in the English section please.

Rest assured you have most likely won his heart without using his native tongue

Posted by: Viper Jun 16 2009, 10:02

My name is Kevin, I'm a Dutch software engineer and proficient in the usage of the English language for both daily usage as well as technical terms. My native tongue is Dutch and I'm wondering if there's any interest in supporting a Dutch language section on the website?

Posted by: I44_John Jun 19 2009, 17:27

Has been tried several times (including by me years ago). Basically language sections get no where near the amount of visitors, are not updated as often, and therefore even people the section is meant for just look at the English one instead because it offers better service. Especially seeing as how most Dutch are more proficient at English than most other Europeans (at least in writing), I don't see much use for it tbh. And looking at the other sections, the "Author X has sent us" intro bit of the newsposts is translated, but the quoted content (things the author said, which is like 85% of the times or more written in English) isn't, but is left in English, which makes having a section just to translate standard 1-3 sentence bits (most newsposts start with pretty much identical sentences) seem like a waste of time, as any visitor still needs to understand English to be able to comprehend the newsposts.

Posted by: Wittmann Jun 21 2009, 15:04

Basically we have found most of our Dutch members often speak the Queens English better than some of our UK members and visitors.

As John has explained; the demand for a Dutch section is never high and we have less traffic on Dutch forums in the past than our other language sections. For the same reasons our Scandinavian language forums were dropped post OFP.info

Hey everybody. If you need a english to hungarian translator, Im here to help.

Posted by: Old Bear May 8 2010, 14:52

Hi all !
Glad to see you wanting to help us.

We have been busy in Admin/Gamer life as well as in RL one so we probably find us a bit slow on answering ... but remember that this site is only based on the energy of guys dedicated to an unique game ... admins, news posters, newshound and spotters don't get cash, just the pleasure to share information and knowledge.

We are trying to operate a news Team with dedicated people happy to spend their own time and energy and that is time and energy consuming in itself ^^.

So be patient, for we need all help we can gather !

Posted by: ObamasHomeboy May 14 2010, 16:51

I will also be a good News Spotter

Posted by: Imutep May 14 2010, 16:58

Posted by: MiniMark Jun 15 2010, 09:09

Not a large enough percentage to need translation at least.

Posted by: johnbeyer Jun 20 2010, 10:59

If I would be given a bit of time I could translate the site into my native language, Dutch.

I am not on the forum alot so if intrested please send me an email to johnbeijer@hotmail.com, thanks.

Posted by: Cutthroat Jun 22 2010, 17:50

I've been checking the site for a good while now, thought I'd sign up and at least offer my services as a thanks for all the stuff I've got off here over the last year or so.

Therefore - I'd like to apply to become a Newcaster first and for most, and if that isn't available I'd be happy to do the mission admin side.

I do appreciate however that I have literally just signed up to the website to apply for these positions, so I'll understand if you turn me away on those grounds!

Please do PM me if you have any questions.

Hi,
my website OFP2.info (parnter-website to armedassault.info) is searching for 2 or 3 admins, too.
1th: A german translator (Im from germany too but i dont wanna write the english and german news
2th: A 2nd english news-writer
and optional an 'news-informer'

I know we haven't so many visitors but I wanna change this with new admins, more public and advertisement (from mouth to mouth - from website to website)

It were nice if someone could register.

Your Andi31

Posted by: JdB Oct 13 2011, 14:21

The OFPR.info site hasn't been updated in months, with mods like WW4 2.5 being mirrored but not posted about, so I figured you needed an extra newsposter for that site. I can update the site during the weekends, and upload mirrors when needed.

Posted by: Andi31 Oct 14 2011, 14:19

Why not? I will talk with the other admins about your recommendiation

And for Relikk: He has written Cold War Rearmed instead Cold War Assault!

Posted by: Old Bear Oct 19 2011, 18:29

@JdB : it will great, ol' OFP still alive event if rebranded as Arma : Cold War Assault ... so we do need people to make the site goes on !

I have sent a PM to Cervo ... and I will try to raise him again tomorrow

Posted by: JdB Oct 24 2011, 16:47

*Pokes with a stick*

Posted by: JdB Nov 5 2011, 14:59

Did Cervo suffer from nightmares, a nervous breakdown and random panic-attacks when he read the PM?

Posted by: Andi31 Nov 6 2011, 10:22

What is now?.. can JdB join?

P.S. If you haven't seen it already: I've set OFP2.info down. There aren't any mods, news, patches or anything.. the rest you can read in my last post.. OFP2.info is now down forever.

http://www.ofp2.info/index.php?cat=archives&year=2011&month=11

P.P.S. I try to conact Marc at Facebook!

Posted by: Wittmann Nov 7 2011, 01:21

It can be hard to raise Cervo these days and I do not have backend access to the OFP.info site to help you John

Posted by: Andi31 Nov 7 2011, 14:25

No.. Cervo answerd me through Facebook. He said that he will take care of it.

Posted by: Cervo Nov 7 2011, 17:26

Sorry guys for the delay, ofp.info admin stuff is a big old fashioned mess JdB! You'll have a painful 90's experience.

Posted by: JdB Nov 7 2011, 17:37

I was able to deal with it before, so I'm sure it will work this time around. If it doesn't, I'll deal with it the usual way (hit it with a hammer).

Posted by: Wittmann Nov 7 2011, 23:25

...he deserves it.

I mean, congrats and welcome back to the info staff John

Posted by: Cervo Nov 8 2011, 00:21

And you can contact me by Facebook faster (Marc Laborde)

Posted by: JdB Nov 8 2011, 01:26

Why thank you

Judging by the speed everyone works, each and every one of you must be employed in unneeded cushy government jobs that were created just to waste some more taxpayers' money

Facebook? I'm allergic to this mass-hysteria piece of data-mining tool.
