I think we need an actual, non-satirical newspaper about the forum. So I'm starting one (see the logic?). It'll be called the "Daily News Times." Sign up to become one of the journalists or editors. Specify what position and why you would be good for the job. If this actually takes off, I'll post instructions for writing an article and posting it.
Postions:

Editor-in-Chief: LordQuackingstick
HR Editor: Exhibit A
Poll Editor: Beardo
Off Topic Editor (except games and A&C):
Games Editor: The Snork
A&C Editor:
Gossip Writer: The Noid
Obituary Writer (reports on who's been banned or has left the forum): sci-fi greg
Fad Writer (reports on fads): Shadowfox
Crime and Crisis Writer: Sherlockrunner
Staff Writers (3 or 4):

I'd be fine for anything other than Off-Topic and HR Editor. The first one has too much crap going on; the second one is mostly filled with imbeciles who come up with conspiracy theories about why Marzipan is really Homestar's father-in-law and Marshmallow's Last Stand was based on a true event in TBC's lives involving a walrus and two mischevious stagehands. Also, I'd prefer not to get obituaries or fads. And I'm not quite sure what a Staff Writer does. As I said, though, anything else would be fine.

This is because I'm apparently good at writing things.

A staff writer writes about no particular forum section. They just write about whatever is relevent.

Oh, I missed that part. Anyway, I guess... I enjoy Homestar and I hang around the Homestar section of the forums a lot. Also sometimes when I'm bored, I read random articles on the Wiki.

I would do this, but I'm one of the least reliable writers in the world and probably could not actually be bothered to write diddly squat.

No it isn't. I'd love a forum where people came up with weird theories and weren't completely joking. There isn't one on this server.

I'd like to do something. I'm a fairly competent writer so I think I'd be good at whatever jod I end up doing. Also, I'm usually up on what's going on so...that's good.

Anways, if this actually happens I'd like to be the Poll editor or Off-Topic editor.

People, you need to tell me why you would be good for a position, like Beardo here. He gets poll editor.

Well, I'm always knowing what fads are around here, and, i'm a pretty good writer. I've written two whole novels.

Does there really need to be a vault editor? There isn't anything recent enough in the spam vault is worth writing about.

Issue One Alpha Version (Incomplete)

CRISIS HITS HRWF!
by Sherlockrunner, Crime and Crisis writer
On Thursday, August 16, 2007, a crisis was born. People woke up the next day to find many of their posts on the forum, especially in the Getting to Know You, Off Subject, and A&C sections gone. Everyone was puzzled. Until the next Tuesday the Admins could not figure out what went wrong. "As you probably know, last Thursday evening, someone used Modestly Hot Girl's password to hack into the Forum and delete a large number of threads," wrote Didymus in his thread "WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED??". "Since then," he continued, "we have been investigating, hoping to discover exactly who it was and how they did it. As many of you have already guessed, we suspected Jello B. of being the perpetrator of this event. We now know this to be the truth." Jello B. has been banned permanently. Didymus also suggested that everyone change their password. We all do not want anything like this to happen. Jello B.'s last post before being banned was on his strange thread "GET SLAUGHTERED BY JELLO B.!"
