We finally got the system back up and running to assign genres and tags to Flash submissions. I've been going through some older submissions on the site and setting their status and tags and it got me thinking, this is the perfect job for someone who wouldn't feel resentful about spending time doing gruntwork for the sake of the NG archives!

So I'm looking for someone who is good at determining game genres and tag info, and feels excited about the prospect of doing so. If you're this person, feel free to PM me with "FLASH ORGANIZATION" as the subject! I will probably look over your account activity and send you a list of games to categorize as a sort of quiz. If I don't reply at all, it's because I got a lot more responses than expected and got all overwhelmed, but I'll try to be polite and let people know if the slot has been filled.

In case your wondering, the genre info will eventually be used to categorize Flash in the GAMES and MOVIES sections, while tags will play a whole in a crazy new collection & series system.

Sounds like a nice idea.

Would give me something to do so I don't feel as much of a bum in between working on projects lol.
Always nice to have ways of making the old submissions resurface a bit.

If you don't get enough responses, you should really try the Where Is/How To forum. People rarely visit this forum unless they actually own Flash, so you're missing out on a huge potential workforce who are more than capable of doing the same job!

Doomsday-One, working on stuff better than preloaders.

By the way, I made the 'Create an Animated Sprite' preloader for Sprite TV 3!

It kinda depends how many flashes need assigning genes and tags. I'd love to help, but I won't likely be able to do hundreds of them every day.

...Then again, if there really are that many flashes, it'd probably be better to have a team of people doing it instead of just one person.

I'll give ya a PM if the workload involved isn't impossible for me to do (I'm not one to promise things I can't give :P).

Bored? That's not the spirit.
You're an enthusiastic flash portal dweller willing to
donate some of your precious time to the development and
organization of the beauty that is the Newgrounds Portal.

Okay, maybe that's a little too enthusiastic.
Yeah, definitely.

I sent a little request earlier, too.
I hope I'm selected, I actually kinda care about this.

I'm the most enthusiastic bastard alive. >:(
And I also care about this, I think it would actually be pretty fun to go back to the older flash cartoons and games and watch/play them so I can categorize. I actually enjoy categorizing things, as sad as that may sound.
The bored part meant that I'm just, you know, bored. At home. Not here.

Yeah

Been checking out the flashes for almost 6 years now.
I'm capable of doing it, if you're interested Tom.

How is the progress coming along? I never got a PM response so I assume everyone was chosen at a quick pace or it was just defaulted to staff.
