Hello there! This thread, is a thread where I am looking to be hired at different forums or websites, for the long term. If you are seeking help and are willing to pay for it, I'm you man. If you are posting here for something other than hiring me or asking questions about the end goal of this thread, I will report your reply. Fair enough? I'd like to think so. 
First and foremost, I generally don't have issues with genres of sites, as I tend to be well enough versed to know when I need to look something up if I am in need of information on something. So don't take that against me, unless you have something that might be a bit too niche related. If so, please provide a link to me, so I know what I might be getting into, and if I might reasonably be able to do so.
