How Does One Become A Collaborator?

I only write reviews by accident these days. If I`m in one of the offices I use and get sidetracked I`ll write one. Right now, there are a few that need fixing up so I kind of feel guilty writing fresh ones. Plus I`m working on a top secret project for the site right now which is consuming a considerable amount of my time .

As I said before think this guy should be a prog reviewer. He even lists his occupation as composer/songwriter so his interest in music has some depth. The enthusiasm is definitely there.  I`ve seen other people on the site with fancy titles with only a handful of reviews.

Okay, maybe not quite that... How do you have time for that? Between work and studies, personal affairs to take care of and a very limited time for myself, I don't have time for reviewing much and I have a small stock of promo's to review. I personally need time to review as I don't like to just write a short thing but rather put time and effort into it like many others do here (including you) and so it takes me time to write them. I really envy all those who seem to have time for this. I'm unemployed and I neglect my family.

Haven't thought of this... I'll ask my wife's permission to neglect her...


On a serious note, that is also why I have little time to work as hard as I did in the ZART in the previous years (and also assisting other teams) when I used to add bands on a regular basis and do more team work. Now I can't commit to it due to lack of time and I'm very jealous of all the other team members which seem to be here day and night. I come in here several times a day but it's for short periods each time and only for things that take short time, like post news, recommendations, add an album, give my opinion of a band in the ZART, but that's it and I wish I could go back to the acitivity level I had before. Now I feel bad for not posting the reviews for the promos as quickly as I did

.

On topic - the opening poster should definitely be a Prog Reviewer.

I used to have the time for two reviews on a daily basis, without neglecting school (well, the important classes, at least ), study, reading, etc.

But now I'm utterly blank.

Publish them. Best-seller style.

Maybe you need to get out some new albums to review, man!!!

I've read a number of his reviews as he was putting them out a massive pace, and they're all quality. If he maintains his interest in the site, I think it's a no-brainer that he should be a reviewer. I've certainly bounced in and out of other sites enough times that at least some sustain should be part of the selection process, though.

I believe it also has to be dark on a Thursday. Does sleeping with my wife count?? You mean he (the thread starter) needs to sleep with your wife to get a promotion?   than we'd all be collaborators. How can you be sure? Do you know his wife? Bloody hell. Now I'm getting paranoid...time to put The Wall on, methinks

Hey. Wassup?

I was asked by Max after only writing a few reviews and took a week to decide but that was when the site was in it`s infancy. I also write bios. Maybe check up on missing bios and impress the hell out of the admins by writing a killer missing bio.
