I'm really tired of seeing Rock Band DLC articles as the only thing this site has to offer lately and how many months of the community spotlight has been skipped now? The last one was September... That makes 6.

I agree it's been stagnant around here for long enough. I'm sure AJ would love a staff nod to write some Trials HD articles...but id settle for the limelight making a comeback.

No, no. No Trials articles. Maybe an Evolution one when it comes out .
I was going to write a ME3 review, but I haven't beaten it yet. Maybe soon though.

If you want a quick laugh check out the user reviews for ME3 on www.metacritic.com. Last time I checked it had a average score of 4/10.

If a Meta or Mini sees this, could they please approve the article I have pending? Thanks.

I agree with you man. I'm not nearly as old of a member as you, but updated news should happen!

I'd gladly volunteer for the role. I enjoy writing.

Meta had stated earlier that this was already in the works. I believe it was in random thoughts

I've noticed in the past that some of my news articles haven't been published. I even have one for the new Forza 4 DLC that is coming out soon that hasn't been published yet. I'm not saying that Mini and Meta aren't doing their jobs anymore but it would be nice to have some more people to help them out.

I agree. I think having more than two ACTIVE staff writers would make a fresh change to the site.
If they decide to have more staff writers, I think they should be chosen on the quality of their work and not by site seniority. We all know that some members have been here years and would love the position, but we also have fairly new members who demonstrate good writing. Just my two cents.
Agreed.

Yes, damn that Mini and that Meta; never around here, shirking their duties and disappearing for months at a time! ... Yes, just disregard that "Senior Staff Writer" Usertitle near my name. Come to think of it, the word Senior in my title makes me feel older than it used to when I read it But I digress.
Anyway, I agree with all of you on all accounts. Obviously I have had quite a prolonged absence from the site, due to many issues both in my personal life and also a bit of a lack of laziness. Stopping in from time to time, however, I realize that my absence not only affected my own account, but all of the members here on XbA who expect, at the very least, up to date news, and at the most consistent game reviews and community articles.
With that being said, I am going to get the ball rolling in order to remedy this situation ASAP. I see a lot of new faces, and overlooking the (now-dated) articles and news updates, there are more than few noteworthy writers hidden in our user ranks. I appreciate bringing this up, as well; I've seen the problems, but some times need nothing short of a kick where the sun doesn't shine in order to get off my duff and make a change.

I could help out with the Spotlight if needed.

I have the time to help out, if there is a need for my writing.

There's always a need for skilled writing. I'd love to see tons of user-written articles posted every week. Of course, that means getting off my lazy @$$ and publishing them, but there's no need to point that out, now is there.
As for Lime and McDevlin, both of you, as well as anyone else reading this, should consider trying out for the writing position outlined here! That was a shameless plug, I know
