Update - Site is more or less functional. User system not enabled and a few other systems that require extensive database injections to get kick started. Uploading music to auto-dj and sorting out playlists now. So to be honest, the website is ready to go live in a beta mode. Just understand, there is alot of work still to do. But everyone is more than welcome to start browsing around, tuning in, chatting and what not. We do have alot of plans to get the forums active and the chatrooms populated, so be sure to stick around to join the soon to be had fun!
Job Posting Update - I have all the Forum and Chat moderators positions filled. Got alot of feedback for those 2 spots, so I won't be accepting anymore for now. But if you got your PM to me already, I will be in touch with the details shortly. Just want to organize the site a bit more so we can all communicate effectively =]
Hey everyone!
Well it has been a long time since Evony Radio has been online. But I have been getting alot of people asking me where it went and if it is ever going to come back.
The main reason it went offline is simply due to the expense factor. It was costing ALOT of money to run and we simply weren't getting the users to keep it sustained. Plus real life issues came up and I didn't have the time to manage it any longer.
So, with that being said, I went around and did some more research on how to make this service as low cost as possible but continue to operate with optimal services. After all that I have come up with a very good way to run this radio station again and keep it operating at very little cost.
Within the next week, I plan to have Evony Radio once again live and operating over the air 24/7. I will keep this thread updated as much as possible on the status of the site and if anyone has any questions/ideas/comments/input, feel free to drop them in here!
All in all, everything is coming along nice and smooth.
Job Posting
DJs - Well, simply put a radio station can never have too many djs. I am willing to give people a try who have never djed before, so long as you are willing to learn and do your best! In order to become a DJ however, you must at least have 250 mp3's on your computer, a working high quality microphone (no, a $5 mic/cam from walmart is not going to cut it. Sorry), a stable high speed internet (DSL isn't good enough), and a decent computer. Everything will be explained/taught to you before you do any live shows just to make sure everything goes smooth. For the expierenced DJ, we are running Shoutcast 64kbps 44.100kHz Mono stream. Using Winamp only, no SAMBC.
Web Developer - Really could use a web developer. Someone expierenced with PHP/CSS/HTML and other backend systems. This part is one of the most important roles, so I really won't be just accepting anyone who once made a website with joomla for a school project. You would need to be able to provide references to previous work done and show me what exactly your skills are. Since this part takes the most effort, you will be compensated with free webhosting and other goodies!
Graphics Designer - Simply put, need someone who is good with making graphics such as banners, avatars, sigs, headers and things like that. From time to time, you may be asked to make up a new banner to advertise a big show or something along those lines. But for the most part, I would like to see you pumping out unique Evony Radio themed banners and sigs for us to spread around to people!
So, if you are interested in taking up one or more of these tasks, please drop me a PM telling me so, and if you could provide any past expierence into those fields as well, that would be great!
