I'm serious, I am no longer going to join a website staff where there are no rules and no pay! It's not the pay that I'm worried about, but for a project to work correctly it has to be well kept. I have been dumb and keep joining these free content site staffs and the sites end up crashing, the staff doesn't post because they have no insentive to do so. I've seen it happen too many time. If I EVER did a site like that I would either do the ENTIRE site myself or pay some GOOD, RELIABLE people to run it that I could trust with my life, sounds bad, but it's the wicked truth.
Don't get me wrong, I _LOVE_ free content, but it has to be done right do the writters get rewarded and the site still makes money and the readers are happy. It's a hard thing to balance out, and I will say that I haven't quite figured it out. The only successful project I ever did got shut down so I have nothing to show.
I love Web design to death, but I'm going to have find some new friends to run the thing. Here is a good hint if you want to start a site like this. DON'T STAFF IT WITH 15 year olds! I've seen that happen too many times and end up killing the site. I know I'm not the best writer in the world, but some of these guys can't spell "the" and don't know how to use the SHIFT button on their keyboard. I wish I could say how to fix these problems but I can't. So if you were going to ask me to be on your site staff, pay me, have the other staff post articles, or leave me the heck alone!
