MAD Industries

I was asked about two days ago by a new member of this site "How can I get more involved?"
I thought about the question for a little while after asking him what his talents were. Unfortunately, I could not determine any one place for him so I decided to make a list of the things that can be done around here and let him decide for himself. I told him to pick whichever one he would like to do and then I would tell him who to talk to.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So here is the improved list (and the go-to people):
1. Moderator [ArmedKilla, xXWhiteShadowXx] (Requires you to be online for large amounts of time performing maintainence on posts/threads in the section you are assigned to. Applications for mod have been temporarily closed)
2. Tutorial Creator [WhoIsYou, Scruffy120] (Must be good at both visual appeal/user-friendliness and knowing what your talking about. Not many things are worse than an incorrect tutorial)
3. Graphics Designer [MZA] (Artist must be comfortable using photoshop or other graphics design programs. Works must be accepted and approved by codinghs.com members)
4. Help & Support [WhoIsYou, MAD Industries, Scruffy120] (Requires that you be online for large amounts of time talking to Noobs (see below) and helping them with the simplest of tasks. Also must know alot about what your talking about.)
5. Hacker [Sonnie, xXxTWiST3DxXx, xXWhiteShadowXx] (Must have created a hack for one of the PSP games listed on this site. A hack is NOT a weapon mod. A hack is NOT a glitch.)
6. Resource Expert [WhoIsYou] (Must be good at finding rare things online such as programs and files. You will be asked to go and find a program for download preferably free. In certain situations, this may be illegal in your country of residence so we discourage your participation in such requests. In the end however, that is entirely up to you.)
7. Programmer [MAD Industries, xXWhiteShadowXx, Sonnie] (Must fluently know a programming language and have made a useful program through the coding of that language. Usefulness and skill of programs will be determined by the codinghs community)
8. Apprentice (Noobs become apprentices and eventually graduate to one of the other categories. You may become an apprentice by finding a skilled person from the category which you would like to learn and requesting that they teach you. They may say no. Also, you do not have to be taught to learn these skills, many people teach themselves.)
9. Noob [too many good examples] (Someone who does not know enough to be in one of the other categories yet.)
10. Spammer [TBD] (A forum low-life who delights in the litter and cluttering of forums)
11. Leech [TBD] (A forum low-life who uses the forum to help himself without returning anything back)
12. Leaker [SkankySAM] (Possibly the most disgraceful of all types of members, leakers steal information from one website and post it on others usually under their own credit)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Legend/Key:
1. Category [Person to go to for more information] (Definition of category)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry if you are not in the list of people and you should be. I obviously cannot remember everybody on this site. If you think you to be one of the recommended ppl, leave a post with the category you want to be in.
