N.Wood Posted March 11, 2010 Report Share Posted March 11, 2010 Hello I was just wondering if there were any monthly trials newsletters? Cheers Jack Nope, because they'd be out of date by the time you read them, you can get all the info for free online so no one would buy them.

tomturd Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I've briefly thought about doing a monthly (or bi-montly) email newsletter for TF. Granted, everything will be bit out of date before it hits an inbox, but it'd be nice to have a round up of all the stuff thats happened for people who aren't on the forum much. We'd just need editors, cos I don't have the time (or knowledge) to do it all myself. If you fancy getting involved then let me know and we can get something started Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark W Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think the point of an actual newsletter's a bit... pointless, in a sense, as it's essentially just a condensed highlights of the forum. If it was original content though that'd be pretty cool, and it's where most trials magazines in the past have failed (and where in some ways MBUK still do). Just a small bit of editorial content from a few contributors every 2-4 weeks would be fine I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a small bit of editorial content from a few contributors every 2-4 weeks would be fine I reckon. Condensed highlights of the forum would be exactly what a TF newsletter would be, maybe with some other stuff like events that are coming up, new products, some interesting topics and as you say some editorial content. We have 13,000 members (I think?) but I guess only 2000 of them are active so it would be a good way to get more people involved with the forum, and it'd be nice to have something to look back on in the future.

Al_Fel Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think its a really good idea. I'm on here all the time but I still miss things out quite regularly. A run down a what's going on would be a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted March 12, 2010 Report Share Posted March 12, 2010 (edited) 15% active users? That's impressive... I like the sounds of a regular editorial, whether it's on the site or in newsletter form. Edited March 12, 2010 by konstant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
