// The fact that the positions are unpaid is a good idea, really like it - This makes sure that the people who write these aren't doing this because of some sweet sweet $ - this make sure that they make this because it is their passion, they do this for fun, they do this to work with new people from all around and if you wanna work in some esport related jobs and you say that you got some articels on this site with a lot of views and a lot of positiv feedback, that pushes your application even more. // On November 29 2014 19:33 graNite wrote: no one is getting mad. i am just asking why they are not paying. i know this is for volunteers, i know there are no problems caused for anyone anywhere.

Good point Because you asked a question if they get something, i found this, this should help you a bit, maybe On November 15 2014 07:09 Zealously wrote: Not that it should really matter - it isn't what most (if any) of us signed up for - but we do get TL store discounts and access to press passes for a bunch (most) SC-related events. Depending on what you're like, a more public outlet for your opinion (writing editorials really fits some people and allows them to share their opinions where more people will see them) is also a plus. And I mean, I guess TL can probably be a way to get into other esports-related things if you're really into it, so you can think of it as an opporunity to broaden your skillset and so forth. | ||

As for the for-profit/nonprofit discussion/argument... why does it even matter? If you believe in the cause, you'll give your time and effort as the scv/probe/drone for free, and that doesn't change whether you're a company intern or a volunteer of an organization (profit or non-profit). If you can't find enough faith in the cause, you'll just choose not to pitch in your hours - that choice is only yours, and clearly not shared by the people who are volunteering. No amount of "this is stupid/unfair" Negative Nancy talk will dissuade future believers in the cause from applying, because they already are firm believers in the group's cause, and it usually takes a LOT for someone like that to lost that faith. @lichter - would me teaming up with the Graphics team to bake special TL cookies (or I can go solo and bake Carbot cookies) for the TL staff (a few at a time, I don't bake for a living) make it worth it?  | ||

Yes if you have any graphic questions we shall answer. ^^ Or want any advice, etc. I wouldn't have been here where I am today if I didn't try. I don't regret doing graphics for TLnet. One of the top things I love to do. | ||

All of us have read this discussion 64 times and I wish people would stop assuming we dont know the value of what we do. We love TL and starcraft and that is why we right. I think (think) I speak for every volunteer on this site when I say that we really, really dont give a shit about not being paid. | ||

I have no artistic talent but I do wanna help in some way. I don't really recommend using MS paint for graphics we wanna do (I'm looking at you lichter!), but another option out there is GIMP. It's a free program! Photoshop, gimp, and MS Paint don't magically make us banners, we have to have a sense what we are doing too. They are just tools (like a computer) to help us do things faster. ^^ If there is anyone who went from not doing banners to doing banners is riptide from LiquidDota. :D Back before the split he started to handle the banners as well (as the editing) cause he didn't want me to do too much work. He progressed quite well with making banners. :D Hope this helps! | ||
