So, whoever volenteers gets a mod status? O_o
to bad I don't play any other game except Mape and Halo @_@
HS.Network - Saigo and I have been discussing for the past few months about a project: expanding HS to not only cover MapleStory, but also to many other things in the MMO world (And no, that does not explain the lack of updates in HS).
The basic idea is this: Hidden Street will cover as much online games as we can (hopefully it will come to every possible online game), by writing reviews, getting the latest news and updates, features and events, screenshots, guides and FAQ, informative databases and other features that we can think of from the game. Furthermore, Saigo and I will do our best to establish good contacts with game developing companies to acquire first-hand information.
So far, we have drafted the layout of the site and it is being developed into a theme layout along with the content structure.
As the layout is being developed, we would like to start recruiting staffs into the site. 'Writer' is currently the only position available for application, as we do need a team of writers to put up reviews, news, and so on.
Below are requirements that we want for a Writer:However, do take note that applying for the position at HS.Network is on a VOLUNTARY basis. Of course it won't be voluntary work forever, as we would need to establish the site well with contents first before we can start talking about benefits for our staffs to enjoy (such as monthly game subscription fully reimbursed)!
- Proficient in written English is a must.
- Ability to write wittily is a plus.
- Fairly knowledgeable in online games.
- Ability to meet submission deadlines.
- Active in playing online game(s).
- Able to provide a sample article that you have written. If not, write an article based on the title "Online gaming is..." with a minimum of 800 words.
To apply, kindly send us your resume at hiddenstreet[at]gmail.com with the subject: "HS.Network Writer position", along with your attached article.
If you have any questions, kindly post them here or e-mail us.

Not sure how long the application will go. We will have to announce in here when it will close... Probably 2-4 weeks beforehand.
Yes, it is possible to be specialize in only one field, by providing any reviews or news & updates of the game.
Yes, you may. However, if it you are on hold for too long, then I guess we will have to drop you out from it =/

Very nice. I may actually consider applying for this.
Ah! I guess we will have to search for those talented and skilled writers lol. And thanks for your support!
Cool! Hope we will receive your application on this ;)
Turles has also applied to write reviews and stuffs, as he is really passionate into this lol :D
We're gonna turn HS into IGN?
SWEET!
The only thing preventing me from applying is Actively Play Online Games.
If that was what I did then I would be dead by now, murdered by my parents
噢如果超人会飞
那就让我在空中停一停歇
再次俯瞰这个世界
会让我觉得好一些
哦拯救地球好累
虽然有些疲惫但我还是会
不要问我哭过了没
因为超人不能有眼泪
Aw guys if you expanded to FPS I Would be lead role for halo, i can describe every detail about the latest 1.08 patch.
Indeed I am very passionate about HS growing in the right direction!
I posted this earlier in the mod forum;
Just talked to Jon (Cloud3z) about this and I think it's a great idea.
I've always had aspirations of writing for top gaming blogs like Joystiq or Kotaku.
Indeed online gaming is the pinnacle of gaming right now, but I'd love to write about so much more -- any game I get my hands on I'd review, same with gadgets, any kind of tech.
Online gaming is a good starting point, especially when you already have all these members here who are for sure to check out HS.Network already, not to mention the passerbys who just check the database page.
This is a great way to expand Hidden-Street, who would've thought there'd be another way? ;P
So count me in -- I am back for good now, if you haven't noticed.
If any of you are interested in this, please put forward the effort to apply! Who knows how big it could become. (:
