Sorry for being picky, but you surely didn't read the rules before posting this. Also, your offer should be more consistent, or just easy to follow.

one tip for your website - don't use big images then scale them down to fit. It's wasteful and makes pages take longer to load.

He's clearly using a template, and since it's a job section I don't see the harm. The forums have the potential to have all of those things. Small founder, CEO of UOK Games, doesn't sound like it contradicts.

Saying things like "yeah, you need one badly, haha" isn't going to help them out. I wouldn't like it if you came into my "looking for work" thread and said "lol yeah you are!". You don't even know this person, they've just joined, and I don't see the productivity behind coming in and picking at their initial post looking to bring jobs to people to help others, and themselves, progress further.

I read it and understood fully what was going on. Understandably there are some things that need to be referenced, but this can be explored further if any said interested party contacts these guys looking to investigate any of the job openings.

My comment was more of a "You need to fix stuff to gain some interest" as opposed to "This offer sucks, go away".

Unpaid internships? Shocked

@Micah - I'm curious as to what you guys do with Blizzard and EA. Any chance of some more info? Those are impressive collaboration credentials for a company as new to the games business as yours is. So impressive, in fact, that I'm having a slightly hard time reconciling this fact with your current web presence and the tone and content of your job advertisement above. Was this work something to do with your experience with Ultima Online servers?

Sorry for the delay on responses. So some one asked did we use a template? Ahh no. If I used a template Im sure the site would of looked alot better. "Site looks like crap." Thanks for sharing. My web designer is sick and I had to redo the site to fit in new content and ideas. So yeah thanks for letting me know I better stick to programming. BTW the sites being redone. Brandyns no longer sick and on some heavy meds. So Im ure it will improve shortly. Am I Tim? Nope. My name is Micah. Nice to meet ya. "What do I do with Blizzard etc?." Well because most of the things we discuss our private. I can only say this; alot of former staff works for them. Toy story 3 comment. Yup whats your point. I talk to john maybe once every 6 months. Hes a rather busy guy. An I all know what he tells me. An most of the things he does tell me is private. However Toy Story 3 is about to be released. So I can share some information about it publicaly. I hope that helps. If you have any further questions. Feel free to ask me or you can ask the staff. We all have emails. So feel free to ask them what they did before joining.

Why is the work you did for Blizzard and EA so hush hush? Was it industrial espionage? Usually people can be quite open about there employment position or contract work with any corporation. Heck at games companies they usually put every employee and contractor in the games credits complete with their individual role.

No, in the top post he clearly says that UOK Games does 'work' with Blizzard and EA. I was just wondering why he's not allowed to divulge what manner of work UOK Games does. I mean if it were just some contract programming or art then he'd be able to say. So now I'm intrigued to know know what this top secret work is.

Yeah, but he's clearly backtracking with this:

"What do I do with Blizzard etc?." Well because most of the things we discuss our private. I can only say this; alot of former staff works for them.

I'm (almost) willing to bet that this so-called former staff are just friends he maybe/maybe not made some games with at some point...

Besides, he didn't say what they do at these companies. They could be cleaning toilets, for all we know.

Anyway, the vagueness makes it pretty clear that it's all bullshit. Seriously, take a look at the website and ask yourself if this looks like a professional company that does work for Blizzard and EA? Of course not.

And this:

Yes, this company nobody has heard of that has a website that seems to have been slapped together in 30 minutes in 1995 and has spelling not worthy of a kid in grade school is the "leader in helping big and small developers in the gaming industry"...

Yeah we clean tolets lmao Man you just dont have a clue and your digging for something. Normaly I try to keep a calm head when reading these types of posts. But Im sorry I have to laugh at you. Your mocking a company you know nothing about. So let me help you out here. Knowledge is power. Ignorance however, leads to false claims. So keep digging. Im sure some day you'll move out of mommys basement.

Okay, I realize I'm feeding a troll at this point, but here goes...

You are asking people to work for/with you in your company, but you won't tell anyone what your company has made in the past or is currently working on. Maybe you should take that Business 101 class one more time, eh?
