Perhaps I am more blind that I think (hope) but... is there no way to submit Character Builds or articles of any nature, for that matter? Or are only certain people allowed to? I'm just curious because I love toying with character builds in any games that allow it, especially obsure or just plain fun ones... So I was curious if I could submit one?
Thanks... hope this is the correct forum.

I thought there was already a thread about this but I see I was mistaken.
Anyhow, for the time being, no, there is no way for the average poster to submit builds or articles of their own into our CMS. We've felt that it was best to restrict that kind of access - as well as the ability to add comments and other things - because we wouldn't be able to monitor the quality and accuracy of any such submission if everyone was free to make and change them as we would if any and all submissions had to go through an editorial review process first.
We certainly welcome and accept contributions from anyone and everyone. We just want to make sure those contributions are up to the standard we hold this site and ourselves too. So, if you'd like to add something, we'd be happy to accomodate you but until you've proven yourself we'll be the ones adding things to our website, thank you very much.
For builds, we've got a few ideas in the works that should allow everyone to post their builds. One thing I'd like to see is an interractive online build database where users can log in, change builds, save them, and share them, but that's a big project and one that's probably not going to be done any time soon. Also, we've toyed with the idea of letting everyone who registers on the forums the limited access to add and edit content in certain sections of the site, such as the Builds Directory. For now, however, if you've got a build you'd like added, just PM it to one of our staff using html format (That's <> instead of the [] of the boards. Check out the source code of a build page and copy and paste if you want to follow that format) and we'll put it up for you and make sure you're given credit for it.
Similarly, if you're interrested in contributing an article or essay or something else to this site you can PM or e-mail an outline or a rough draft to one of the staff (That's me, Spooky, and THX. Send it to me preferably as I tend to handle that sort of thing. PMs have a size limit so rather than using 10 or 12 of them to send an article you can use an attachment or an e-mail.) who'll edit and put it up for you. If you do so more than once you'll likely be given access to post your own articles. And if you contribute valuable articles regularly you'll also likely be given the coveted title of "Site Contributor" . There's no exact way to go about all of it because it hasn't come up yet, we've only had this site public for a short while.
