Easier said than done. For one, I don't much respect the idea of going on other people's servers looking for staff... for multiple reasons:
1. they are already staff at the server they are on, and I am against taking staff away from servers
2. they don't know anything about 2k1 (if they did, wouldn't they know something is going on with it after all this time?)
3. if they don't even bother visiting the forums I really can't expect them to put much effort towards helping either. It's not like these forums are invisible.
Aside from that, there is more to hiring a scripter than just saying "you're hired". I have to make sure they fit into the following category:
- can script in gs2 very well and knows how to deal with clientside/serverside and making things efficient
That already narrows down the field a lot. Then:
- can work multiple hours a day for at least a few months and also be easy to contact
That pretty much kills it for everyone else. I want to get this server released within a few months, but hiring someone who is going to work maybe 30 minutes to an hour a day or every other day is not going to give me the results I'm looking for. It will give me results, but it's too frustrating having to wait on people to do things for me. I either need someone who I can rely on to get things done quickly, or I have to do it myself.
But really... 2k1 has been around since... 2k1... and it's not hard to keep up on what has happened with it. I don't really care to have a bunch of noobs applying for a position just so they can screw around and see all the content.
The main problem is that anyone who is good enough and could devote the amount of time needed, are either too lazy or uninterested or lose motivation too easy...
