  VEEC

Seeing the VEEC home page here at the VE, I have noticed that there is a lot of oportunities to trooper on Web desingning, VE today, and the Technical part of the VEEC. I know we are lacking on members, but the VEEC is a big use for troopers that join and want to help out the VE. The VEEC will be a huge contribution as well as another daily job in the VE. Aside from other divisions, the VEEC is the most inactive division/ closed by the president. I think if it is re-opened in the future, It should be an active division. Is there any possibilities of there being a new VEEC in the near future? If we gain members? If our activeness goes up?

VEEC was never "rolling" so to speak. Ever since I joined the VE, it has always been the division in which one person would do something here, then another person would do something a few months later, etc.

Participation in the VEEC isn't related to club activity in the sense that you are speaking of. The VEEC was originally designed to house the programmers, web/graphics designers, and game modders of the Vast Empire. The VEEC houses the VET, lead by myself, but the VET is somewhat a seperate entity in itself. There have been numerous (well, many times to be frank) times when I have tried to revive the VET, but it doesn't really matter what I do, or what Bear did (the previous Editor in Chief). The VET relied on the constant participation and responsibilities of that of its writers, and the writers were the ones that always slacked off in the end.

Now, if you, or if someone you know, is very fluent in ColdFusion, then maybe that person can give Kad a ring and see if he/she could do anything to help with any projects. Bear in mind that "coding websites" for the VE may not be as simple as some people may think. The vast majority of our websites consist of member logins, data bases, etc., and as such, an individual would need to have expertise knowledge in these concepts (databases, mySQL possibly, and a variety of several languages).

Graphics, on the other hand, is a little easier to produce, but it is still very difficult to have the superiors approve of your work in order to use them as "official images" of the VE site. Why? Because a lot of people here use images from Google or other StarWars sites, and laws can/will be broken if some people just copy/paste images into Paint, slap some text on there, and call it their own.

All of this information is not to discourage people, of course. It is merely information that one must know before thinking about taking on such a responsibility.

One of the things people did not like about the VEEC was that, in terms of its Engineering department (web design, game mods, etc.), the "employee" was paid by commission; meaning you were paid for each project completed. There was no monthly check.

Now, this was the old VEEC and its old operations. If we had a good bunch of members that could be, say, game testers, then we may have something to play with. Game testers: a group of 5-10 people that went out, played online demos and gave detailed reports of the upcoming and new game platforms that we support/could support.

There are many possibilities that we exploit via the VEEC, but finding the people to take the time and responsibility to engage in those oppertunities is another story.

Ah, Thank you for a detailed explanation. I will definitely take this in mind in the near future. Le't just say I know amazing friends that are Web designers. Pursuing this further, the VET is going to be revived again. I have taken the initiative to put forth maximum effort on making 30 headline articles. Along with some friends here at the VE that I have spoke to about helping me. Although I have limited knowledge about Coldfusion or PHP, I can still make arrangements, and spend some cash on web designers, and specialist. If your interested on some of my ideas for the VET, will chat sometime in mIRC. Not like many people that tried to revive the VET, I have perseverance and enthusiasm for a better VE. For troopers, legionaries, and pilots to be in-formated about each current event here at the VE; Controversy's, and news headlines about each division excluding the DJO.

Thanks you for your input, please let me borrow some of your time to explain more my ideas, I insist. If you will like a diplomatic proposal, then it is as you desire. I just want you to listen to them and reweive them in a constructive way.

.. Salutes...

In terms of making changes to websites or adding websites in addition to the ones we currently have, you would have to send your inquiries to Kadann. He's in charge of everything VE/Site related.

Referring to the VET now: one of things I was thinking about was, perhaps, having a seperate window on the main domain with all of the new articles that have been posted. This way, when someone posts an article, they won't feel like they've done it for nothing. By having a small or seperate window of sorts right on the domain, their efforts would be publicized right away... Kadann may have a better feeling for how that can be arranged.
