TSA Staff Update
TSA is hiring, again.Published 10/12/2009 at 11:30 by nofi
Exciting Times for TSA [55]
TSA’s Trophy Leaderboarders Speak [47]
TSA Forum Enhancements [23]
It’s that time of the week again when the ridiculously high staff turnover here at TSA Towers warrants a news post. People come along, they write, they vanish, never to be seen again amidst a cloud of dust. Thankfully, it’s usually for the better and it gives me great pleasure to formally announce that Gareth (you’ll know him as Gamoc) has taken the position of Content Manager. It’s Gareth’s job to ensure that everyone turns up on time and actually gets stuff done to schedule, so he’ll be cracking the whip for us to ensure our output stays consistent.
Secondly, Liam’s had to quit the site, so with that in mind we’re now looking for a dedicated, industrious Community Manager to join our team of writers. If you’ve got what it takes to engage our massive community of readers, manage our TSA Meets system, invigorate our forums and organise clan games please get in touch (emails to al@thesixthaxis.com) together with a brief synopsis of what makes you the best. We’re not just looking for an existing TSA member to step up through the ranks, although a familiar name and face would be preferable.
Thirdly, some of you will have already noticed that site co-founder Michael is back on the team. Michael has taken the role of Business Development Manager and it’s Michael’s job to take TheSixthAxis to the next level. We’re already one of the biggest independent websites in the country, with a superb community and server-busting traffic, but we want to cement all the hard work we’ve done with a self-sufficient financing structure, which is why you’ll see the odd advert and affililiate link around the site now as we test out our various options.
Finally, and speaking of familiar faces, I’m delighted to tell you Colin (aka ColinBarr66) has joined the squad as a Staff Writer. Colin will be helping out with our news output here on TSA, and his presence will hopefully mean that our evening content is ramped up a little so there’s always fresh stuff to read on the site throughout the day. Colin’s already our Killzone 2 clan leader so most of our community will be well aware that he’s going to be great for the site and I hope you’ll be as welcoming to him as you always are to new blood. Onwards and upwards!
We’re always looking for new talent on TSA. If you’re interested, get in touch.
Finally, a quick announcement – if you head over to your profile page, you’ll see (at the bottom) two new fields for your PSN ID and Xbox Live Gamertag. If you’re wanting to sign up to our TSA Meets then from now on we recommend you complete these fields because it will mean whoever’s hosting will be able to invite you to the game much easier and won’t have to search the forums to find your PSN ID or Gamertag. Thanks to teflon for the idea to do this, should make things a lot simpler. Your PSN ID and Gamertag won’t be shown anywhere else, so don’t worry.

Yeah, you have no idea! Zuler keeps floating up to the ceiling, I’ve had to tie him to a chair, and Davs keeps turning invisible (so I covered him in paint). Wish nofi’d stop poking me in the ribs, though. It’s painful.
Oh god – RAEN! PUT THAT THING AWAY!

Lol. What could Raen possibly have that would disturb you so much?
A Celine Dion CD perhaps?

I stepped down a few weeks ago to spend more time with my family – and since then I’ve actually been spending more time with my family.

One happy family
One other question: why do we have to blame Hodgi for high traffic levels?

Congrats colin
Can I not be named Folding@home team manager, and not be assigned any additional roles – basically a member with a different title.
After all I am trying to organize a few things for the team.
Just a thought.

Congrats to Colin. Well done mate. Its good to see Michael back as well.
I would apply for Community Manager as I enjoy organising meets and competitions but I think there are several other members who could do a better job than I could.

You would get my vote. Always does a good job with the Dirt2 meets.

Thanks Cam, I appreciate that but organising one or two meets a week is a very different thing from trying to organise the whole community.
I find it hard to make time for things as it is. If I had a daytime job it might be different but I am at work from 14:30 to 21:30 on weekdays which is when most of the community action is likely to happen so I wouldnt be able to do the post justice.

Congratulations Colin
Looking forward to your articles.
It’s great that Michael is officially back. This site was unnaturally devoid of Huskies for months now.
Sorry to hear that Fruit is leaving (again)!

I always read these posts and think ‘Hmm maybe I should get involved’ ……………
But then I think ‘Nah Fuck ‘em’
But seriously I enjoy the site, but with (fairly stressful) job, wife and 2 kids, it would be nigh on impossible for me. Probably be more of a hindrance TBH.

*fans face in an incredibly girly way* Oh! Im famous!!! :p
Just glad to see my idea’s made a little difference.
Good to see the site’s still going from strength to strength, even if some of the faces doing all the work are different to a few months ago. Keep up the good work (or start the good work if you’re new to the team)

Wow, well firstly congratulations to Gareth and Colin, 2 very competent writers and decent chaps.
Welcome back Michael, I look forward to seeing what you do to the site and I know for a fact you will do what is best for us.
Fruits departure is, well, seriously worrying when all we have heard in over a week and half is that he is ill, and now he has quit, I hope things are doing ok in fruitland and he pays a visit to us soon to let us know how he is getting on.
Onto the vacancy, I am willing to help where necessary, I care about this community and its events and am always willing to lend a hand if needed.
Looking forward to seeing how all this pans out in the months ahead.

What happened to Fruit though? He left so abruptly, hope he’s alright..
