As most of you know, I post most of the news on the front page. Until now!

Tivon (Jared) has taken the position of news poster on the main site :Thumb Go Tivon go :)

Yay that means you can give us 2 times as many video reviews a week...right?

Jk, lol that would probably be a very hard quota for you.

Tivon lives here :spin

We really appreciate his work. It really contributes to making this a truly KICKASS forum. But what would it be without the video reviews, which dragged most of us to the forum? This is great work. Keep it up guys! :Thumb

Yup. Still running Joomla... Zeek has something under his sleeve for the next version of 3GM.

Tivon, You are doing an excellent job so far :Thumb

How do you find the work load?

The real question is, how does sherry find the extra free time? ;)

Still taking me longer than I'd like, but I'm starting to get the hang of things. My goal is 20+ per day. 10 at night (1~4am) and 10 (12~5pm) during the day. At least every 10 or so I'll add in a picture or video if possible to stimulate the eyes. Trying to input a slightly wider range of news while keeping the traditional 3GM hardware mindset. Yes, there is a method to my madness. :Blah

You know I might find it hard to do both this and the forums. So later if things get to be too much we might need a few people to moderate the forums.

^^ I think we need 1 or 2 mods that can just move, and delete posts to cut down on spam threads (spam bots) and threads posted in the wrong part of the forum

You can count me in too, although you guys probably want someone with a higher post count than me.

Some of the news can be sort of mind numbingly dry.. "Blah.. here is this not really new hardware, but we want to get paid." Those have their place, but what I like most are the games and new techs, that's what we are buying all this hardware for. I've been checking out other sites for some Interesting reads to toss in the mix. It's addictive... :)

I don't think I left Rodney much for the Weekend. LOL XD :Blah

If you don't mind, could I make a small comment/request?

If you're posting news that links to a spanish site, please say that the site is in spanish. Or better yet, if its a non-english site, please say so... I don't know spanish, i'm sorry..

Thats about it ^^;;,

I normally just delete those kinds of news emails, but the quote was in English, so I was lead to think it was English. I can't find an English page so I've added a translation link. It will be pushed off the bottom anyway on my next news update some time on Monday. :)
