The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
Hello FFR'ers.
I had an idea yesterday that I think would be great to try as a community. But before that, a bit of context. As cliché as it may sound, I was talking with my parents about FFR, since they were curious about the website and whatnot. They knew I've been a judge here, that I make simfiles, etc. At one point, my father said something along the lines of: "Sure, you're playing games, having fun, but is it worth the time you sink in here? What did you acquire from this game?". The truth is that I acquired a tremendous amount of stuff here. Most importantly, I had the opportunity to meet amazing people, with talents as diverse as you would imagine. Without listing usernames or anything (hopefully, they'll say it themselves by posting in this thread!), I can easily recall people being good at coding on a variety of languages on computers, people speaking different languages, people who have a high degree in math, physics, chemistry, people who are good listeners when you have problems and seem to have experienced everything, people who can do any kind of graphics or photography, people who can compose music, tell you how to bodybuild, make an FFR engine.... The list goes on. Circa 2007, we were probably all a bunch of kids still attending high school. But as of this writing, I realize a lot of us are adults who studied in their fields of interests, whether at school or on Wikipedia. Basically, when you look at it, there's an immense pool of talent here, and I think we could all benefit from it. Whether it's resizing a gif, answering a tricky physics question for help on my homework, reviewing my files, helping me out when my girlfriend dumped me, learning about the history of New Brunswick on Skype, getting a lift to Anime North 2014... I have benefited from so many things from the kind people of this community. It cost me nothing, and in the end, it strengthened our friendly bonds. It's just a great win-win situation. The idea here is pretty simple. I want to make a list of talents users posting in this thread have. Sure, you're probably good at Stepmania and FFR, but I'm deeply convinced everyone on here has something they could share with someone else. Good at drawing furries? Trivia master? Hey, anything counts! Let your talents show you the way! TL;DR Basically, without using social sites like LinkedIn, I think we could build network/"toolbox" of our own that would be greatly useful in case anyone has a problem they need quick help with or are curious about, especially if they don't know where else to look to get it. And I'm pretty sure that many users would be willing to help each other for free, since it's about doing stuff we like to do in the first place! DON'T WORRY IF YOU'RE NOT THAT BEST OUT THERE AT WHAT YOU DO! After all, if the best is absent, they can be useful to no one. You, on the other hand, could replace them just fine! So if you have a talent, or an aptitude, some knowledge, or anything, really, please post it so that this network can take shape! Let's be proud of ourselves. I'll try to update this post. In the meantime, don't be shy! I'm sure the result of this exercice could be tremendously interesting. The network's humble beginnings --------------------------------------------

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
Haha good question, I thought linking profiles would do. Good question though, you could specify if you want to be contacted on skype or profile or email, etc

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
I'm not adverse to people texting me lol, although my phone number changed (which is why I deleted from profile)
people can contact me through text or on ffr, if I'm on skype I'm usually occupied with a call |

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
if anybody requires a utility/tool that would call for programming skills to create, i would be able to do so. an example of what i'm referring to would be something like this: http://www.flashflashrevolution.com/...d.php?t=120979
i wouldn't mind creating anything for anybody that would need it and i wouldn't charge any money to collaborate with somebody on a project such as this |

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
I feel like any skill I may have is kind of just at an amateur level. If that doesn't matter then I guess programming and general computer help if anyone is having computer problems.

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
screw computers, I'm good at violin (yes) and singing (I'd like to this so)
Also in another sense, I'm good as a punching bag when people need to vent about their problems. I might not always be the one to necessarily ask advice from depending on the situation, but if you need to vent, I'm always around.

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
Graphic Design graduate and currently working in my industry for a small agency/studio while doing freelancing on the side. I would say my specialty is everything to do with proper typography, typesetting, and typeface knowledge in general. Come to me if you want me to tell you why your typeface treatment, choice, and/or combination is good/bad.
Already should be a given that I can work with print, web, and mobile/tablet mediums being a designer and all. Other than this, I'm apparently a good listener? idk I've had several people just come vent their troubles/problems to me unexpectedly.

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
I transcribe, yea. Away from home at the moment but I can do requests when I get back home on Monday. If I recall correctly, Jurs Op starts with a G D F on the treble clef

Re: The FFR Network -- We need YOU!
Biological Sciences graduate. I might be able to assist some people, who knows.
Edit: I guess I can also help make bad stepmania graphics. Last edited by ~Zero~; 07-17-2014 at 01:03 AM.. |
