   CGEmpire looking for  Resident Experts
  Hi everybody,As stated in an earlier post, CGEmpire is a growing community aimed at supporting independent game development, and offering support and advice to those trying to make games, or trying to break into the game industry.http://www.cgempire.comAll the Resident Experts on the site are currently situated in the UK, and so we are currently looking for additional Resident Experts, who work within the game industry, who enjoy helping others, or would like to contribute and help someone else who has the same ambitions as you once did, to help us offer around the clock support to our members.It is our aim to bring back the bedroom coding era, and empower as many people as possible to be able to make the games they have always wanted to play, instead of the games publishers decide we want to play. As development costs rise, and the cost risks of innovative games increases, independent game development is where different and original games have a chance to flourish.If you would be interested in helping out and supporting the community, we are looking for Resident Expert, preferably in different timezones to GMT (e.g. US, Australia) in:Art:  MAX | MAYA | XSI | LW | ZBRUSH | PhotoshopCode: DirectX, General 3D / 2D, PS2, XBoxIf you have a little time to post even one post a day to help out the budding game developers out there, then please please sign up and get in touch.Thanks!chris @ cgempire.com   
  Just a comment about the site itself: it looks very cluttered for a forum page, and the forum exists of many seperate boards (ans sub-boards...), too many compared to the population of each, I'd say. From my experience, I think compact forums work better for smaller groups - you can always expand or re-arrange when the need arises.Also, the sites artwork makes it look like a game fansite. While it's definitely a quality look, and a nice way to promote your games, it may not be the look you need to make it stand out as a game-dev community. Perhaps keep the games site and the dev community separated, with distinct themes and colors, but linking to each other?
