The OFPEC Recruitment Lounge board in the forum has been replaced with a fancy new addition to the 'Experts for Hire' system!

Over the past couple of years the 'Recruitment Lounge' in the forum has been relatively successful in bringing mission builders together with people interested in doing voice acting and translations, and a few mods have even hired dedicated volunteers from the recruitment board. In an effort to clean up the forums we have decided to abandon this misfit of a board in favour of a more effective advertising system which will do everything the forum board did, and more.

Fast forward to the future! Bedges has developed a system that will allow you to place a request for an expert, or browse the list of volunteers and contact them direct! Advertisements placed in the new system will splash across the main OFPEC page for up to 4 weeks at a time, maximizing the number of people who'll see your request for help!

From that point you can take requests to 'private message', MSN, Skype or your favorite way to communicate. Once your requirements have been fulfilled, or if work on your project is paused for a while, you can deactivate your adverts until work resumes. You can also keep track of how many hits your ad is getting.

Cheetah has been busy updating and fixing the RSS feeds, if you have noticed they haven't been updating as regular as the news updates, that is because we updated them and didn't tell anyone! 

Over the years the tag system has been at the hands of many coders, and overtime we have found that some of the tag entries to be either corrupt or outright not conforming to the standard.

If you are the owner of one of these tags, please make sure you have an account at OFPEC and PM one of the OFPEC administrators. If your having difficulty retrieving your password for OFPEC, you can PM Hoz or Planck at the Bohemia Interactive forums. 

OFPEC will be undergoing many changes over the next little while. The intent is to improve the overall site design and navigation between depots...

THANK YOU!

In the past couple of weeks OPFEC has received several donations from our community members. The staff at OFPEC would like to thank those who have donated monetarily, as it is these donations that keep OFPEC going month after month, year after year and the cash is really appreciated. All cash donations received by OFPEC go directly to paying our hosting costs, so without those donations OFPEC would not have been around this long! Keep them coming!

There are donations of another kind that also don't go unnoticed! Sometimes it's in the form of one member's time answering another member's question, or members providing feedback for the Mission Depot's beta testing boards, some times the donation comes from the OFPEC staff, giving their time to add resources to the Editors Depot or completing a review in the Missions Depot for everyone to enjoy.

Whatever type of donation, all are very welcome here at OFPEC!

The OFPEC Staff!

By the community, for the community!

OFPEC's Faces Library has grown to 255 faces donated by community members like you!

OFPEC wants your face! If you have a face that you created and would like to donate it to OFPEC then click here.

Cheetah has been busy updating and fixing various aspects of OFPEC. You may have already noticed that you can sort items in the each of the depots now, this was in direct response to the 2007 Member Survey we completed at the end of the year.

Cheetah has also developed RSS feeds for the various depots. If you want to use the RSS feeds in your site then go right ahead, you can receive the updates as they are available on OFPEC, drop us a line to let us know your using the feeds!

RSS junkies can access the feeds here!

As you might of noticed there have been small updates here and there to good 'ol OFPEC. We don't always make a big deal about the minor stuff, but sometimes addressing many minor items helps with the overall experience for our OFPEC users. Bedges worked diligently on some of these features so I thought I would take a minute to highlight some of the more important items. Many other changes are happening behind the scenes to help improve the reliability and overall functionality of the site, these are just a select few...
