Although it is still possible to apply for a spot (http://ourl.ca/6802) in the Coders of Tomorrow programming team, tonight we are announcing the additions and changes to Omnimaga staff, although these changes were done several hours ago.
-First of all, we are pleased to announce the addition of Bwang and apcalc to our programming group. They both program for the TI-Nspire in C and apcalc also program for 68K calculators. Both of those programmers recently made ticalc.org front page with two of their releases. In Bwang's case, it was the TI-Nspire raycaster (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/146/146386.html), and in apcalc's case, a TI-Nspire port (http://www.ticalc.org/archives/news/articles/14/146/146386.html) of the popular Block Dude classic. Apcalc also becomes our first 68K programmer being part of the team in one and half a year. Currently, Bwang is continuing to work on his Raycaster as well as a Floorcaster (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=96.0), and apcalc is working on TI-Nspire and TI-89 ports (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?board=128.0) of Trapped, which was a spin-off of Block Dude released on MaxCoderz a few years ago.
-Secondly, we are pleased to announce that Hot_Dog has been added to the Administrator group. From now on, he will be able to help for forum updates such as addition of projects sections and updating other areas of the site. As our community grows, it is important for us that we can continue to help the community and provide a nice discussion environment. It should also help for when some admins are busier.
-Third, I am returning into the administrator group. For the past month, my status on the forum was uncertain, as my activity was sporadic and I did not know if I would be able to contribute to the site anymore as admin after the contest is over. Although I may still not be able to answer many requests and that I may mostly be involved in the downloads section once this month ends, I will still remain active on the forums.
-Finally, the admin user group was renamed to "Managers".
Congrats to Bwang, apcalc and Hot Dog for their new positions!
The site front page and the forums were updated to reflect those changes.
On an unrelated note, the 40000th post of 2010 was posted today (http://ourl.ca/6807/112233). This amounts to an average of 167 posts a day since the beginning of 2010.

Huzaa!
Welcome to the team, Bwang and apcalc!
Congrats Hot_Dog
Good to see your name in the admin position again, DJ!
-
Thanks ^^
-
Congradulations!
I like the new level system! ;)
I might apply, but I don't think I've been around long enough. :P
-
Whose idea was the level system? I just noticd it 5 min ago. Great idea!
@DJ: Are you the only Super Veteran?
-
Nope.
Super Verterans number three.
There is DJ, Eeems, Builder, and me. ;D
( >2000 posts. :) )
I like the thing under DJ's name, but above his level. :P
-
i thinks it has to be over 2000 posts. so it would be all the managers except Hot_Dog. ;)
EDIT: ninja'd! what aoubt Builderboy?
-

DJ and I worked on it together, although it was DJ who cam up with the cool level names
-
EDIT: ninja'd! what about Builderboy?
Builderboy = Builder ;)
* ZTrumpet is deeply sorry for think you had about 1900 posts Builderboy.

Judging by your join date and activity, you meet the time criteria fine. I would need to see more progress on your projects, though (even if just in private).
And yeah Hot Dog got the idea about member levels. I totally forgot this feature despite having used it on TIMGUL before. On TIMGUL, nicknames change color gradually as your rank goes up. The only downside is that the member level only show up in the member profile/list if the member has OmnomIRC enabled on his account and if he isn't part of a special group. Otherwise, it shows near his posts. Also, at 1000 posts you can add something else below your nickname, such as what I did :P

Really? Wow! How do I do that? When I reach 1000 posts, that is
-
Profile->Forum Profile Information->right above your signature field.
-
When I finish the data part of TAO, and get my own forum category (maybe) for it, then I will apply for COT.
Good job Bwang, apcalc, and Hot_Dog. Here's your throne and royal scepter, DJ.
-
Lol thanks :P
And yeah normally, if I notice signifiant progress on a project, it gets eligible for a sub-forum. Nostalgia, for example, is a good candidate, but I am waiting until I see a more complete battle engine (right now, I do not see any HP/MP being displayed/raising/decreasing), mostly finished menu and some NPC interaction. In the past I added RPGs very early in their development but the author finally didn't get far. As for staff I guess it can be the same thing, too. I can't wait to see more progress about those, too :)
-
Congrats to all! And I like the new level system.
-
Congrats Bwang, apcalc, and Hot_Dog! You all deserve it :D Also, glad to hear that you are an admin again DJ :)
-
Thanks Player
I hope things goes well in long terms IRL too. So far it seems ok, though, to my surprise.
-
congrats on joining the team you guys :)
Oh no! Another contestant for ultimate power of Omnimaga...errr....Congrats Hot Dog :P

Tattle-tale...thanks for giving my secret away :P Now I'll never gain control of it.
:) Seriously, though, no one can replace DJ. I think I can speak for everyone.
-
Good job guys! Sadly, I don't think I will ever become a coder of tomorrow because of my past trolling x.x
-
Thanks Hot Dog, it means a lot.
-
Congratz all around guys! :)
