Job Openings (and Job Renewals!)

posted by fandom on jan 22 2010, 06:03 pm | 8 comments

Hey, everyone! We're going to be revamping the Info Pages of the site soon and we need your help! We're looking for maintainers for our new pages, which will be in a Wiki format.

Please only respond if you have good grammar and spelling skills and if you are willing to submit a sample of your writing. You must be familiar with either Naruto, Bleach or Fairy Tail (although we're looking for people willing to create info pages on other Properties as well.) We are looking for a small, dedicated team - so please do not apply if you're going to quit updating in the short-term!

We are also going to be revamping our Moderator Team. Most of the existing moderators were allowed to keep their roles during the change over last May, but it's finally time to clean house! If you currently are a Moderator for either NarutoCentral or BleachCentral, be sure to drop us a line and let us know exactly what your role is. If you don't, chances are that you will lose your Moderator rights in the near future.

Note that we are looking for a couple of new Moderators, but please do not apply unless you:

• Have been an active member for over one year.


• Spend a lot of time on the site(s), both browsing and commenting.


• Avoid bickering with other users.


• Are very familiar with Naruto and/or Bleach.


• Want to augment your resume by becoming a Moderator for a community that is rapidly moving towards 1 MILLION USERS!

If you randomly email us looking for Moderator rights, you will not receive a response (nor will you be promoted). If you repeatedly ask existing Moderators to try to get promoted, you will be banned.

If you're interested, please send email to info@fandom.com, with your First Name, Email Address, Position You're Interested In and Writing Samples, if necessary.

Thanks everyone! We're working to make the sites that much better in 2010!

Pre-E3 News: TOMY Announces New Naruto Titles

posted by fandom on may 28 2009, 10:55 am | 42 comments

According to IGN, TOMY has announced two new Naruto titles in 2009: one for the Nintendo DS and one for the Nintendo Wii.

Although the IGN article is a little "Naruto ignorant" (by claiming that Akatsuki is "one of the [playable characters]"), it's an exciting read with plenty of images. Hopefully with E3 next week, we'll obtain more information shortly.

Have you played other TOMY/Naruto titles? What do you think the potential of the new games is? Either way, will you buy them when they are released?

What do you think of this price increase? Will this affect your manga buying habits?
