O.P. msgplus news letter...?
Well i guess this can be in MsgPlus General Talk...okay, well, it was awhile a go when someone came on irc and asked me about something, and im like "yeah, thats a good idea." and then i just read bach_m's thread about the tip of the day thing...so guest27 had placed the idea in my mind, and now maybe i can put it in your minds aswell :p Its a msgplus news letter...? Someone i talked to about it said it would be hard work, and hard to maintain, but i still think its a good idea...I know it'll prolly get shot down from other users, so ill make a poll. I did some research on an emailing system, but im sure theres better ones out there. It might not even be able to get started if no one likes the idea, but who knows, maybe you'll all like it. Id be happy to work with it, because it could have a lot of info for the users.
like...
-when an updates been released
-a link to the change log for msgplus
-a tip for each news letter (from bach_m's system of course, it was his idea)
- personal messages from patchou (if wanting to)
- anything really. if this gets put into play, im sure anyone can have say of what goes on in it...

anyways, dont be shy to shoot down the idea :) it'll probably be up to patchou anyways =p

Edit: and if this has been requested before, sorry :grin: i searched and didnt find anyting.

EDIT2 - sorry, edited the poll to see who doesnt want this, i just wanna know why :p sorry

Yeh if people can't accsess the forum for some reason (maybe be banned or summit) there still can be up to date with the plus happenings and you can give big ups to people for doing certain things I like this idea I bet others would too.

It's been requested several times around the time when Plus! 2 was released.

The "newsletter" functionality already exists built in right in the forums... people just have to register and go here:

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/usercp2.php?action=subscribe&fid=2

to suscribe to the Announcements & News forum: they'll get an e-mail whenever important news happens.



However, now that I think of it... this should be mentioned in the website, as a "Messenger Plus! Newsletter". It's already there, we just have to publicize it. Patchou, if you are reading this, what do you think? (I'll gladly do the extra page)

Great idea, I agree with Guido that maybe a link to subscribe to the announcements forum should be somewhere :)

But doesn't people need to sign up for the forums first then?

Yeah... and I don't really want people registering just to subscribe to a forum... :p

Also, the board shouldn't be sending out large numbers of e-mails all at once... :^)

at first, im opposed to this idea. but when i think about it more, im starting to like it. The downside is obvious that it's going to take a lot of spare time out of whoever is willing to commit to this project.
