Hi,
I have recently bought the domain XLGamingForums.com, and have installed MyBB onto it. The forum is about gaming hence the name. I think we can make this big if we work as a team.
So what I need help with:
Design Team: Maximum of 2 people needed.
Scripting Team: Maximum of 2 people needed.
Page Managers: Maximum of 1 person needed.
Moderators: 2 per forum.
Advertisers: ME and 1 other person.
This is voluntary based for a certain time after I decide I can afford to pay I will.
What you get: You will get Staff capabilities also a name tag of your role on our forums.
If you think you can do so please PM me.
Thank you

Don't you think 2 moderators per forum would be a little overkill in the beginning?
I think it's a waste to get so many people in as staff in the beginning.
1-3 persons are very fine in my oppinion.
You should get some members and activity first mate.

I guess promoted a bunch of people to staff has both its pros and cons.
I'm sure that would be an easy way to have a nice, tight community, but it doesn't seem very practical (but still, it's good advertising). You could always try running a small referral contest if you have a few bucks to spend, but what you have going might work out in the long run.

Eww no! Never hire that many staff. What are you thinking man?
Design Team: Learn basic Photoshop or pay some one for a banner/usergroup images
Scripting Team: It's MyBB, why do you need this?
Page Managers: YOU do this.
Moderators: YOU do this.
Advertisers: YOU do this.
The important thing about being an admin and getting a board off the ground is being able to do things yourself and make choices yourself. People will join for staff, and when they don't get it they'll leave.
Change your direction now. On my most recent forum I didn't hire an smod until around 400 members an 150 posts per day.
As for the site, make Guests able to view.

I have been a mod on 3 gaming forums previously. I love it. I would be happy to be a mod if you would let me.
I also know this guy that is great in PS.
Here is one of the banners he made previously

I am a Website Developer so I could moderate and do the AdminCP if you need. I can also deal with file uploading and basic Server Enforcement/Duties.
