    Friday... excellent. Hey, all the people a part of this should put their title in their sub-name. For example instead of mine being "Arcade King" I would change that to "Arcade Reporter" or something. That's so people will know you are with the group and they can send you some stuff to further great-ify the newsletter. (Like my word I made up? )

    Just an idea.... I'm not going to change my sub until I get the Lead Editor to okay it. Btw... I've sent you something Ianofsmeg16. (Is their a meaning to your name?

    Great idea!
    You should write about the new subdirectory in the Monastery and about the multi-authors story in the Mead Hall!

    Will this newsletter go out per email?
    You'll need a spot where patrons can subscribe and unsubscribe to it.

    Oh, okay. That's cool, I just wanted to know because it's one of the first ones I've had to look twice to make sure I spelled it correctly.

    Out of the corner of my eye.
    I turned to look but it was gone
    I cannot put my finger on it now

    I thought it was also English slang for... dirt which can be found in the male anatomy.

    Well it is, but the tv program Red Dwarf used it more.

    How are you planning to allow people to subcribe/unsubscribe to this? Will you be including screenshots and other images which would be cool? More info. Also no offence but does anybody really want to read about new members? I love seeing new patrons at the org but what will it be, a list of people registered within the past week? Or something different that I'm missing? Is this strictly Org related or general TW community info (IE. M2TW news) too?

    More info about what this'll be like.

    I'm not sure how to allow people to subscribe/unsubscribe to this, what it will be is a thread bi-monthly that sums up the news of the org. The Backrrom section will contain info about the hot threads, including the news article it encompasses. It will also have news relating to the games, STW, MTW, RTW and MTW2.

    The New members section is a good idea I think, It shows that the org cares about its new members, so much so that it feels like mentioning them in their news. I want to add to the community spirit here, so the idea stays

    I wasn't really saying don't include it, but more what it'll include. Are you planning just a list? Or just posting about active new members...etc.
