Normally I don't like to criticize, but I for one feel this has no place on the forums..

We feel that there are tons of great minds in the forums, would you have us keep these opportunities from your fellow minecrafters?

I see what you mean, and I respect your opinions. My main thought was, for example, if every McDonalds in the world advertised a job position for a job in New York City. It doesn't seem as news worthy as the Minecraft Wiki offering more language support or the release of an image of 1.8 to the community in general. I wouldn't have stated this if the 3 previous posters before me hadn't shown the same general attitude towards it. I will delete my original comment though to prevent further discussion on the matter.

That is correct, however, if McDonalds posted on their website about jobs everywhere, including New York City, would that be wrong?

Can you please explain to me what Curse has done to cause you to make this comment?

That would be fine, but metaphorically speaking this is a Mcdonald's restaurant in comparison to Curse.com. I have nothing against Curse and even have fully supported their actions in the past. I just felt someone needed to state the opinions that many players seem to have towards this.

Regular downtime, broken features and ridiculous signature restrictions.

I could possibly fill 3 of the positions mentioned if I wasn't quite pleased with my job. Are you saying people like me in a slightly different situation shouldn't have seen this? Is it really clogging up your space so much that they shouldn't use the opportunity to get hundreds of thousands of views in the day or two it's going to be the first topic? My video was featured here just yesterday so if anyone should be displeased with it clogging up the frontpage it should be me, but the rational way to think is that if you want people who are in the community to work for the community then you can do with 3 ticks on the scroll-wheel.

People complain about the tiniest inconvenience and completely ignore the fact that they might give 3-4 people from the community some full-time employment, there's no excuse for how juvenile this attitude is.

I must say, personally, I have absolutely nothing against Curse. It is a great community, it allows Citricsquid to relax as much as he can, not having to worry about all kinds of technical details, and it has some great features.

As I see it, the main problem in with the conversion from non-Curse to a Curse forum. The folks here at MinecraftForum simply haven't done enough to configure the default settings to our liking. A single image in the sig? I must laugh. We are a modding community, or at least a huge part of the community is a modding community, and only being able to support a single mod if we don't want to do all kinds of pesky stuff that would simply spam the forum with new "I support these mods" threads is simply not good enough.

I respect and applaud your opinion, withdrawing any statements I have made on the subject. Sorry for having the courage to express feelings I felt many people had. If you're able to accept the matter of your video being bumped down a bit for a "help wanted poster" then I can too.

For the love of god people, every company that works in the technology secotr will experience downtime, it's just how it works. If they want to advertise jobs here, that's fine. If you aren't interested in a job, just move along.
