Well there's loads of mailing services out there...and many of them just require a simple login, if it was all set up the responsibilities could be shared...it could all be worked out and managed and then reviewed by one person and sent...That way about 10 people could do it and the hassle wouldn't be to much...I know if it was set up like that there's loads of members here that would love to do something like that, I know I would so I'm sure there's loads that feel the same way...

I wouldnt mind doing it but it would involve alot of communication with patchou and the admins/mods/plugin developers e.t.c But if someone wants to set it all up and take the effort then id love to see it.
In the end its really down to what patchou thinks of the idea, its his program, and he will be the one who will be submitting the most important news to the newsletter.

I voted no because it would be a real hassle (even though the idea is nice but we have to keep real), too many ppl making plugins etc. if you wanna include that too. You don't have to have one to get notified when there's a new version of plus! released...that's what the autoupdate/update notification is for.

everyone doesnt coem to the forums and msgplus site everyday to read the news. Thats why i also thought this would be a good idea...it could be like the bulldog newsletter (if any of you get it) That informations on their site too, but it still gets sent out to everyone just to remind them.

but anyways...it'll probably be up to patchou like i said before :^)

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... :^)
Blah :P its not like there will be millions of suscribers... plus there are no more than 2 articles per month.

Well.. unless we implement a news system in msgplus.net that automatically sends newsletters when Patchou adds an article, then I'm afraid no one will do this :P Then again, last time I tried to implement a CMS for the news @ msgplus.net, he ended up editing the html in notepad :gfdrin:

you can come to the site to read the news ( there isn't that many news) ,  when you have the msgplus tab you can see the news..  so for me there is no reason to have a newletter.,, :S
Back Again.
