Someone once asked if I ran Spawnpoint? Someone else once asked if Spawnpoint paid me for all the work I do for them.......
Well see now here's the thing.
I don't run Spawnpoint and to be honest don't want to either. Have you seen how busy Labec (Tony) is on a daily basis? How often do you see him playing on server? That guy does a ton of work behind the scenes with the development guys and gals making sure everything we take for granted runs smoothly.
As for getting paid....Well yes I do :eek: but just not in any hard currency you could spend :lol: I joined this community as it seemed the right thing to do at the time. I was granted admin on the UK Assault (not because I asked, but, because someone spotted me and liked my attitude on server).
It progressed from there. I'm not young and don't try to come over as such or as a smartass or as being better than anyone else. I post on the forums when I've got time. I help out as much as I can. It doesn't cost anything to divulge knowledge. It's how I would hope others would help me out if the roles were reversed.
I've noticed in my time here, that, I'm having a good effect on others on the forums and in the servers. Other community members take the time to answer others queries and admins on servers are taking a "leaf" from my admin book and therefore helping the community to grow and flourish.
I'm asked, by many, on a daily basis for help and my opinion on situations that develop. I don't expect payment for any of this ( I'd LOVE a bumper sticker, actually 2 as i've 2 cars....) As I feel it's only fair to give back something to the community that has allowed me to play and admin, for free, as they do.
I guess what I'm saying is that, Spawnpoint has become like my second home and, as such, deserves all the respect and such I can give it. So, the next time someone on server or on the forums asks you a question, take the time to help them out.....You never know you might just become the new me :)
