I'm also around. And I can do stuff as long it's gonna be used.
The main reason I don't like to coop with GMs is because sometimes they commission stuff that need lots of time and effort, but when the stuff gets done they abandon project on a whim, inactivity or sheer administration paralysis.
Or those mid-term changes, Jesus, that can piss anyone up to hell. >:[]
You have to understand that investing enthusiasm into something can became bitter if its squandered.
That's why I would always go for the 'banner job' before anything else. At least banners are always done after everything else goes through. Idk, maybe you have changed how the things work about events now and it's more organized and focused... But I also doubt it considering the low forum activity in general. Community is not strong as it used to be, sadly. :/
I'm not saying that smaller community have less quality volunteers in the staff positions but they do dissipate much faster.
