If you would like to submit an article, you need to be part of the "Article Writer" group.
The criteria we require is (we feel) quite fair and realistic. While not all the parts of the application requires information, providing examples of articles etc will help us get a better feel for your ability to write good articles and it likely to improve your chances of being accepted. We also do not require users to write an article specifically for us or ask users to publish an article for free for the purpose of their application. If you have your own blog, written articles on other sites or previously written articles here, linking to them is enough. We are not looking for people with perfect English or vast knowledge that few people on this earth possess. We just want people who can construct quality, useful and interesting articles.
We consider the following areas when deciding if a user should be part of the article writers group
- The quality of your posts here. These can be a good judge towards the likely quality and writing style of your articles.
- How well you follow rules here. If a user has a habit of not following the forum guidelines set out then we will feel that there is a reasonable chance that they also will not follow the article specific guidelines
- How long you have been a member here. It is hard to judge newer members however members who have been active on the forum for a little while will allow us to get a better idea of your article writing ability.
- Your application in general. We are not expecting a job application type submission but if a user replies with examples of good articles written by them, we are more likely to accept them.
If you wish to apply to be a part of the article writers group, please send the application below (obviously once you filled it in
) to @Cyberfreak.Please ensure you read our Article Guidelines prior to submitting your application. Questions marked with a * are required. The other sections are not required although may increase your chances of acceptance if you can prove your ability to write good articles.

We will typically get back to you within 48-72 hours and we will give you a decision and maybe some guidance if we feel it is needed to help with a future application if you were not successful this time or guidance to ensure your articles are exactly what we are looking for so you can be confident when you submit an article, it will not be removed.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact either me or @Fergal
