I'm sure lots of people are wondering what the deal is with this site and why
it is not regularly updated anymore. Well, the truth is, that I have little
free time right now and I really am not interested in wasting the little
free time I do have updating a web site. (I can think of at least 10 things
I would rather do). Anyway, this same reason is why Chris no longer updates
the site. I have an idea though; one that may save this site from disappearing
like many other sites have over the ages.
We need a staff here at Archaic Ruins. It has been far too long since there
has been a number of people running this site. From what I gather through my
email conversations with Chris, he no longer has the time nor the interest in
keeping up with emulation or maintaining this site. There has been hints made
by him to give me the site. But I feel this site will always be his masterpiece
and his creation and therefor his to own. Whether he works on it or not, it's
still Chris's site. For that reason his name will always remain on these pages
here.
So, on to my purpose. Since I am now in charge of the site and solely running it.
I am recruiting a staff to help me with the many duties of the site. I need
people to maintain just about every section here. We need updaters of every
kind; ones who update emulator releases (a few of these people), ones who update
utilities, translations, interviewers, site lists, and anyone willing to help out
with normal everyday updates of miscellaneous news, URL changes and any other
news that should be noted. What I'm talking here is a large staff which will
take individuals who can work in a team-like matter and be organized in the way
they do things. I need a group effort to save this site.
Requirements are simple (I think), you must know the following things:
- edit html (in dos edit or notepad only)
- ability to use proper english and spelling (a must in Chris's eyes)
- must know about different operating systems (MS-DOS, Linux, Unix, Win9x...)
- must know the format of the site
- any other little tidbits will be given to each person who applies, dependant
upon what they are asking to do.
Needless to say, the site will remain scarcely updated until I have a full staff
working here. I will do what I can to cover major things but I still work all day
and have little time as it is. I hope I get a good response from this effort.
Archaic Ruins is a long standing emulation site and it would be a shame to keep
watching it wither away like it is. --Roni
