It's Called Working for Free
We know it's called volunteering but unfortunately you cannot actually use any work you do here as part of any of your community service requirements for school (or for any criminal requirements for that matter, but if you had a criminal history you probably wouldn't get selected anyways). We take selecting volunteers very seriously, almost as seriously as we take writing these pages and naming our departments. We're not going to sit here and outline what we want and you will find the application process quite confusing at times. If you're not confused during the application process, then you probably did something wrong and yours chances of being selected have just decreased. If you really feel you can help out more than you can by just participating in the community, see some of the available positions we have open and/or are actively seeking volunteers for below.
Angry Dinosaur Department
We'd really prefer you leave the dinosaurs alone, making them more angry is just going to cause problems for the rest of us. However, if you know of any sort of abuse of our system or services, we really need to know about it, and we felt the dinosaurs were the best ones to be able to handle that sort of problem. That's right, we don't attempt to solve the problem, we just eat the person causing it. It's humane, we promise. They don't feel a thing, we hope; we haven't tested that hypothesis because, well, frankly we don't know how to get eaten by a dinosaur and live to say whether it was painful or not.
Sorry, we're not accepting applications for this position right now.
Circus Clown Department
The circus clowns are responsible for the general moderation across all of the Animuson Network websites, usually being more active in a specific one or two. The goal of this department is to keep the website clean and there is actually little difference between a clown and a user with full reputation, aside from the fact that the clowns can do whatever they want without any boundaries if they really wanted too, but we look down on that kind of activity (unless it's amusing to us).

Complaint Department
What is this? Someone... must have... drugged us... We feel dizzy...
Sorry, you appear to have stumbled upon a tear in the fabric of the universe. Please return to Earth.
Roaming Gnome Department
Our gnomes have the pointiest hats of them all. They're made from the finest ceramics around and are virtually indestructible. Using their magical hats, our gnomes can handle all types of general feedback that might come in, such as user testimonials, bug reports passed on from the pandas, and suggestions for the network and its features.
Sorry, we're not accepting applications for this position right now.
Super Panda Department
Our pandas are top-of-the-line and really know their stuff. No, we're not talking about drugs. We're talking about how to do anything and everything on our network. The pandas are the ones you'll be talking too whenever you pop into the support system for help on whatever it may be; the majority of these issues being "How do I login to my account?" Don't worry, they're well trained to respond to these issues using proper spelling and grammar, factual information from the depths of their brains, and a hint of sarcastic tone.
