I take it the "send us your application" link is supposed to point somewhere besides the comment section...unless you were planning on posting everyone's submissions here... :D

...or not. Perhaps I just clicked the wrong link...

Is there an age requirement?

Can you be a 17 year old High-School Senior with a deep love of technology and a deep desire to have a job that doesn't require him to move? I'd love to apply but don't know what the job entails in the "moving" department...

It appears there IS an age requirement. Look at the help wanted button, it's got an '18 years or older' stamp. Guess i'm outa the question.

Ryan,
Submit your work anyways.. even if you don't get a "job" but do get to have some work published its worth the experience.. Not to mention at 17, being published (at all) looks good to collage acceptance boards..
Josh
PS: I have no connection what so ever to download squad, its affiliates or its parent company. Just making a suggestion.

This person... this "whiz with english"... he/she would know English is capitalized and whiz is actually wiz - right?
I'm a frequent reader. Please don't mistake this comment as a rip on the site. Or, to put it in your terms, I'm not whizzing on you.

Hiya Grant, got your mail yesterday. Pretty pumped up right now :) Do inform me about the procedures/ethics that need to be followed while posting in DS.
Can't wait for the joining letter...ha ha, no matter how fauxly motivating that is.
