    We are planning a closed beta phase for the new whatthemovie starting in may.

    We are currently looking for beta testers. Please keep in mind that beta testing is not just for you having fun with the new features but primarily to find bugs in the new code.
    If you want to apply for a beta spot please follow these instructions.

    1.) Register on bugs.whatthemovie.com with your whatthemovie account name. (Account won't be activated until you are confirmed for the beta)
    2.) Please post in this thread describing in a few words why we should pick you.
    3.) Please include the answers to these questions:
    * How long you've been playing wtm?
    * About how many solves you have?
    * Do you know anything about web development?
    * Have you ever reported a bug anywhere?
    * Have you used the whatthemovie irc channel yet?

    Good luck, gentlewomen and gentlemen.

    Hi here to report the first bug (maybe). I tried to sign up but it tells me "Benutzer oder Kennwort unzulässig" and im sure i put in the right name and pw.
    well, in case it worked anyway or you can fix it, i will answer the questions ;)

    why? found the first bug^^ ;) and im pretty addicted to wtm although im not that successful
    - puh, pretty long. not the very beginning but I came with the first crowd i think. when did you guys start again?
    - solves 1900 and 1700 for highscore
    - not that much. but some basics
    - small stuff that annoys me. bug or whatever.
    - i've been in there once when you started it but as nothing was happening i left pretty quickly, sry. hopefully the wtm 2 bugfinding-community will use it more often

    Do I even need to bother if i don't know anything about web development?
  1.  permalink
    WHY? I'm completely addicted to WTM and have nightmares about screenshots I couldn't solve at night.

    - Since Mid-December 2008
    - 3466 for highscore (#1 top solver films of the last month for the moment (fingers crossed!!!)) and 275 uploads (#5))
    - HTML, PHP, MySQL
    - I had some websites a few years ago so I hate bugs and my only goal in life is to erradicate them!! (that and find #17840... Grrrrr)
    - Been there a couple of times but nobody was there so I just left and cried in my bed, all alone...

    why? because I love wtm and check it several times a day, and would like to help it by contributing myself

    - pretty much since the beginning of wtm, first september week I think
    - 4607 for highscore, place 8 in the overall score (held #1 for a couple of weeks or months last year, but then the better people came along ^^)
    - not much, but some basics through a friend who programmed and hosts his own site
    - yes, I helped fix bugs on the aforementioned site
    - nope, have never used IRC before (that somehow went past me)

    - On WTM since September 2008
    - 3800 films solved
    - Nop, but I know how to make coffee !
    - Wrong titles only and some discussions in this forum...
    - I have never used IRC, but I really don't want to die as an ignorant.

    1.) err..
    2.) I spend a lot of time on this website and I think I could help you find bugs and make it even better.
    3.)
    * My first post on the forum was on Sep 30th, that was about 1 month after the launch.
    * I solved 2661 for highscore right now.
    * Only some very basics, I will be quite useless on thisone :p
    * I have been bugtesting for some MMORPG's, not the same as testing a website but the idea is similar, as you have to report all bugs you find.
    * I have to repair my computer first, but then I'll be back on Irc all day. At the moment i will only be on Irc when I'm on the site.

    1.) Done

    2.) We're 6 people using this account, all of us web developers (you know... playing wtm at work :P), so we just might be able to find a couple of bugs

    3.)

    How long you've been playing wtm?
    Since January 2009

    About how many solves you have?
    1525/9687 movies solved, 903 for highscore

    Do you know anything about web development?
    Four of us are IT-specialists for application development, one's still an apprentice, one freelancing programmer

    Have you ever reported a bug anywhere?
    When testing our own websites, yes.

    Have you used the whatthemovie irc channel yet?
    I got the channel in my perform (nickname Scyza), the others do not use IRC

    1)Done

    2) I'm really addicted to this game and can't wait to try out this beta. Also, I have a lot of spare time to go on a bug-hunt ;)

    3)
    * My forum account was created october 12th, so I guess that was when I started.
    * 2754 for highscore, but I was away for a month or so this winter, I guess I would have 3000 otherwise.
    * Yes. It's not my speciality but as a soon-to-be software engineer I have a pretty good understanding of web-dev.
    * Yes. I've been an active beta tester before, mostly in games. Among the biggest: The STEAM-beta and the World Of Warcraft beta.
    * Yes, I'm one of those constant idlers (nick is FeteTony or fattony)

    * wtm keeps me hooked up: it's always a challenge and a big party when solved or a big tragedy when not!
    and I'd like to return something for all the free fun that's offered here

    * since november '08
    * approx. 1200 / 800 high (yes I'm not competing with the big ones, but for me it's a high score!)
    * php/asp/css -- not too technical but I know what it is and how it works
    * I'm an application analyst in the real world and I've done some testing for apps, including webapps
    * nope, but there can always be a first time, no prob
