If you want a shot at being on the staff of the site, this is your chance. I will *personally* sort through these applications by Monday, July 15th. Don't worry about your past record or posting style; my goal with this is to get everyone who wants to be a part of the site on staff in some capacity, according to what they're actually good at doing.
You guys will be the forefront of the new site, the old GT regs leading and empowering the newcomers, just as it should be.
This list of positions may seem long and confusing, but these roles have been carefully selected to make sure that people who do things around the site get recognized and are given tools and a community to make their work easier.
Staff members in any capacity will also earn Experience in GTX0's levelling system, and once the site becomes profitable, the best staff member in each position will get a portion of the site's revenue for as long as they stay at their excellence.
As usual, in order to become a Staff Member, you must register an account if you don't have one already. I'll make sure the admins approve new accounts speedily.
Apply for as many as you want. If you don't get something, don't fret; there will be games forums added that need positions soon and mod hirings will happen once every month after the revamp launches.

Conclusion
I'm going to make a couple of forum-specific posts for things I'm looking for specifically, but I want to hire a lot of people in general.
Note that no assignments will actually happen until after the Revamp, which I'm aiming to finish sometime this summer. Right before the revamp launches, I'll get with you guys and double-check to make sure everyone's assigned where they should be. There might be another hiring as well if necessary.
Xhin forgot to mention this, but a new section for applying for staff positions has been added to the User CP(the icon in the header that looks like a melting CD). Applications can also be found there.
Blazer, if you have an account you can log in via the icon immediately to the right of the header logo that looks like some sort of spinning motion. It's next to the registration icon.
