Basicly i franticly check for wiihomebrew updates day in and day out. And as we haven't had updates for years in the wii section but everywhere else seems to update i wanted to ask if i could be one.
For example of how out-of-date we are.
Wii Version 4.1 has been released.
Waninkoko has made 4.1 updater
bootmii
Bannerbomb
softmii 3.0 has been released (old news)
*and some more but have a headache*

I just want to be a poster mainly because not everyone knows what sites to check etr Also i recon the other news posters have been on holiday for a few months or can't be asked anymore (sorry :/)
I don't mind if i have to up my grammar a bit more, or have to basicly copy and paste some times i just like to be of service.
Anyways. Thanks, Alex.

A news poster:
Posts news- Hopefully 3 times a week.
Must show correct grammar to reflect the "professional" side of the site.
Must show an example copy of an article.
As of time being has a little say in the direction of the brewology. (Example: News poster gives example, mod may 2nd it, Admin approves)

Also, DPM will probably be the one to say yes or no. If i had admin i would give you a shot tho. You seem like a good enough guy.

If you do get the yes I am more then willing to show you around the "News posting station". :) It would be best over an IM client.

Alex needs to learn how to be courteous to other members before ever being allowed to smell the feet of a staff member.

I do agree with that... Anyways can i wash your feet First? :P
-----EDIT-----
I'm back onto my computer i do realise sometimes i do get a bit frustrated with the same old questions being asked and do go a bit off the frying pan...And that sometimes i can turn a debate into a argument... But i am a active Brewology member, i recon probaly going on this site maybe 6 times a day *EASILY MORE* and checking other sites for updates etr, i remember a few weeks ago i posted softmii 3.0 with download link in the Wiibrew forum and i got a few thanks for that :-)

Anyway. Thanks, Alex.

And P.S. are try to sort those stuff out i can't promise anything though.

any user can write an article and send it to a News Poster/Mod/ Admin to post (after some editing of course).

Yea definitely, there isn't anyone else. Although I agree he should work on his forum etiquette. :P

There aren't news posters currently. There's only one plus the forum administrators I believe. I want more, however, we aren't able to keep spam out of the comments at the moment and it's quite frustrating. I created a thread to help attract news posters and only one person signed up. I want more. We need more. But nobody is willing to step up to the plate for the site that they use daily.

I'll make sure to hook you up then.

EDIT *added*

You're going to have a rough time with the news tool, but try to make stuff look like the previous posts, including the hyperlinks and source pages and stuff. If you copy / paste from somewhere, always link to the source. If you have questions, which you will, use my AIM.

I don't mind sending my news to crait so he can Filter it, as long as Crait doesn't mind filtering through my stuff.

And congratz Crait :-)
Thanks, Alex.
EDIT:I didn't know you needed to be a mod to be a news poster(?) *i'm not sure if that is right*

Thanks. The more news the better.
I actually am probably a moderator because I've been here longer than the internet has been around (Lol) and I've got a lot of posts. I talked to a few people about being a moderator a long, long time ago.
