    Re: Weekly or Monthly Newsletter

    K, so who do you think has the time to do this? I'm thinking someone already on the staff would have to do it.

    And to be really honest here, there's not enough going on here to warrant a weekly newsletter. Monthly...barely.

            10 pages.

            Page 1 - cover the biggest events. The official tournament, the wrapping up of the photo scavenger hunt, the GWC, etc. Special thanks to Sprite- and devonin, etc.

            Page 2 - Upcoming tournaments, recently concluded ones, current ones. Some of the best donators, etc. New stickies and a summary on them.

            Page 3 - What's Hot? The hit threads, most active new members, updated forum/game stats, new FFR videos, etc.

            Page 4 - Want Ads. People pay for the admins to put their stuff in the want ads. Looking to sell an old lap top? Buy one? Looking to get a customized keyboard? Put it here. This makes it so people can saw credits in the shops and everyone wins.

            Page 5-8 - Shout outs! More ways for FFR to pull in some money and incentive for users to play for more credits. Put your name out there, tell someone you love them, etc.

            Page 9 - What's Coming Up? All the newest things that'll be coming up and what will be in th next letter -- well, hints.

            Page 10 - special thanks and credits.

            P.S. I wrote this in a rush, my grammar is better and my spelling.

              Get some information on a upcoming song list. I'd subscribe to this to, and i dispise these things.

                Is this serious? If so, I'll start talking with Jason and LD about it ASAP.

                I was thinking, if people like my idea, about the front page. I figured I would have, in the middle, a picture, and it'd be the winner of D5's score submissio with a caption under it describing it. Then under that a story, talking about the runner ups and the other division winners. Mention the prizes, and ask the winners what they plan on doing with it.

                On the left, I could have a smaller picture from the Photo Scavenger hunt. The winning photo with a small interview from the winner. Ask questions like how they got everything, how cramped the time was, what would they like to see in the next one.

                Then, on the other side, an interview with the winner from the GWC. Ask what it was like playing for an entire straight day. See what he liked the most about it and the least about it.



                Thoughts?

                  Omg, i like this idea!

                  Although, i don't think this will ever happen unless if staff approves of this. >_>

                    I won't approve of this if there is any hint of sloppy grammar and spelling, or a really poor design layout.

                    I know I'm always critical, but it has to be done right...it has to look good...ya know? And that's if there's even enough info to gather up for this newsletter to begin with.

                      I appoint foil my editor. K?

                      And I'll get the permission, don't worry. Even if they don't want to, I don't mind picking it up on my own. People can subscribe to it through me, and stuff.

                        We'll see how much time I have to edit a newsletter - courses start soon for me again.

                        I never was able to edit your stickied thread with you yet either, but I know you're pretty busy.

                          :/ Yeah, I have been. But, I don't mind taking this on. It'd be very worth it. I have all these ideas zooming around my head about it.

                              Oh, and I can have an archive in my random thoughts. Or, a sticky somewhere. Open it after, say, 6 months.

                              EDIT: I messaged the admins. I hope it works!
