Looking for Writers for the site

TDUFREAK500 · May 2, 2013

i wouldnt mind writing something, i wrote an article for the only issue of the GT5 mag that a few people did on here, worked on one for the second edition that never happened that hasnt seen the light of day, but my writing isnt exactly that great and usually get low marks on my essays LOL

Paladin Skylark · May 2, 2013

GT5 Mag. Oh boy that was fun..

TDUFREAK500 · May 2, 2013

indeed it was, such a shame that it died off before we could release a second issue

Eudemon · May 2, 2013

Well if you want to bring it back you could always do it, it would be cool to have a sort of GT Mag as part of the main site. :D

ScoobSTi · May 3, 2013

I only did the graphics for that but it was quite cool. Too bad Ken is banned, as he created it.

Camel · May 3, 2013

We didn't ban him because we're horrible. He did ask for personal reasons iirc.

Well, we are a little bit horrible though... :p

ScoobSTi · May 3, 2013

Interesting... :hmmm: What if he wanted to come back but was never able to all this time? :lol:

Camel · May 3, 2013

:hmmm: There's a contact us link somewhere or he could do what all other banned people do and just make a new account. :lol:

Ryzza5 · May 3, 2013

Which we would notice and ban... before you get any ideas :evil:

Anyone remember the disaster that was the two competing TDU mags? :lol:

ScoobSTi · May 3, 2013

Ah nvm, I thought it was an IP ban. :p

Anyways, GTA V's driving is supposed to be more like a racing game. I wonder how that will turn out.

TDUFREAK500 · May 3, 2013

i reckon we should try and bring it back

i would also be keen to do write ups with photos on local automotive events

Loz · May 3, 2013

I'll give it a go...

Content: Pretty much all racing and simracing games.

Blogging/WordPress: No expeirience with WP, but have blogged on another vBulletin site with a blog feature.

Examples: Other than forum posts, I mentioned that I blogged on another vB site, mainly about my iRacing NASCAR chronicles there. Unfortunatly, the site was/is members olnly so I can't provide it.

TDUFREAK500 · May 3, 2013

just found the only issue of our GT5 mag

GRIP Magazine

ken managed to screw up the english when he edited it though LOL, that article was poor really, i will find the one i wrote for the second one and post it later

In the process of writing a comprehensive guide so that I can make it as easy as possible for you guys who wish to do this. Should hopefully have it completed tomorrow evening UK time or on Saturday, Sunday at the veeerrryyy latest ready for the new week! I'm eager to get people on-board and playing around for the #XboxReveal and E3.

So again if you are interested and haven't posted yet then do so as we will be contacting you very shortly.

Thanks!

Eudemon · May 17, 2013

Completed the Guide :yayyay:.

I will be setting up the sub-forum for you guys who want to write for turboduck and will show you the guide and then introduce to the site software where you can play around, ask questions and post images of cheese freely!

ScoobSTi · May 17, 2013

What if the game I want to write for isn't out yet? :lol:

Eudemon · May 17, 2013

As long as you can keep up with news and media about it then you are free to write about it as you wish. If it's a game that's not even announced or has no chance of coming then yeah.... it's not going to happen. :p

ScoobSTi · May 17, 2013

Right. Too bad we don't know much about the Ivory game. :hmmm:

Eudemon · May 17, 2013

We should at E3 though.

Ryzza5 · May 17, 2013

If by the question you actually meant 'what if there is no category for the game' - just chuck it in the next best one (news/media/trailer/etc) and an Admin will create the category and assign your piece to it.

Eudemon · May 17, 2013

Or with the new sub-forum that will be created post to inform us that you have a post ready but no Category and we'll sort it.

TDUFREAK500 · May 17, 2013
