How to get involved

[Dreygon]

Greetings and salutations,

Wow its been a while since I last checked TWC out. Still one of the best sites to date I have ever been to.
On to the question. I have been otherwise detained in Iraq but redeployment is coming soon and I was wondering once I get back to normal life how I can contribute to this great community. I have been an avid TW fan for a while now and I would like to give something back to the community so to speak.
If someone could offer up some advice in how to get me started I would be most greatful.
Thanks in advance!

Real question is, how can't you contribute? Post well; mod, possibly, if you have the skill; write articles; help the Helios, Podcast, whatever. There are so many ways to contribute.

[Dreygon]

Never had any experience of moding, not entirely sure what Podcast is, and I will have to check out the "Helios".
I can write articles, that seems easy enough.
Basically just post around is the "drift" Im getting though....

That's what I did, but then I don't do TW; you'd have to talk to someone from that side of things such as halie satanus to know how you could contribute there.

Got it, thanks for the replies Grim.
See ya around the forums then.. like the sig btw too.

Check out the mods, offer support and praise modders like that sort of thing, download the ones you like and write campagin reports, there always helpfull. if you see a request for Beta testers offer to take part. if you want to try your hand at modding start with something simple, and join a team when you think your capeable, don't worry if your not a modding genius, all help is.. helpfull.

Last of all never, ever ask, " when will this mod be finished, it drives some modders nuts.

If modding doesn't appeal, hang out in the TW community.

If you want you also write article's about your time in Iraq,im sure it will be read by a lot of people here, any first hand talk will alway's be appreciated.

[Dreygon]

I can certainly do that. I will write one up tonight and post tomorrow. It will only my personal account of things though, but I can certainly do that.
Ohhh scratch that, it will have to be Tuesday sometime I post it. Monday is going to be a long day unfortunately.
Thanks Dark.
