well i think its a great idea like i said in the other thread i would have no problem helping with the graphics, and writing content oh and maybe sponsors could also pay for space/articles to be put in the newsletter

edit: and maybe place a notice on the register page so people are aware of the newsletter before they sign up

haha - I only found out TFF had a homepage after several months. I got to the forum through a google and somehow completely bypassed the homepage.
 
I voted yes. I think that you could try it quarterly at first and then possibly expand to monthly once the Newsletter gets underway. I also agree that blanket email is the best way to distribute it. Turning the member profile into a member interview might not be such a bad idea.

SH, if you need any help, I wouldn't mind helping in either the Editing or Writing/Contributing categories. I used to write for a school newspaper. It wasn't Journalism at it's Zenith, but I did write articles on a regular basis.

llj :)

yeah me too didnt even notice the link at the top :lol:
 
I would love to help with something but I am not the best writer or any goods with computers so I wouldnt be of any use :blush: .

I love that "interview a member" suggestion. LOL I want to be interviewed but I am not worth while for reading.
 
Hello folks, sounds like a plan.

I am a graphic designer if you guys want a hand. I am quite busy but will do what I can if it helps. PM me if you want.

chish :good:
 
I voted for a mass email, but on reflection I reckon to download a pdf file might be better, then those who want it can get and those who dont wont get bugged by it on their emails.
 
Then just turn off the "email" feature in the control panel - and voila - no email ;)
 
Thoughts for a newsletter could include:
-feature article
-profile of a member's tank
-profile of a member
-review of a particular piece of aquarium equipment
-feature on a fish/invert
-a 'how I do it' section
-an aquarium humor/cartoon section....our own artists may be able to contribute here


That sounds fantastic!! I really love those ideas.
 
Seems like William is interested as well. I will try and compile a list of people interested. I am not sure the best way to assign positions but this will be addressed to the mods. Suggestions by William include:
-keep everything brief
-nice graphics but not too flashy
-a contents list at the top of the page with, as I understand it..links or numbers so that you can skip to where you want to go.

I am compiling a list of those who either posted or PM'd that are interested and under what categories. As for the member profile...an interview is basically the same thing...we're all on the right track. SH
 
I have an idea. what about like there is the main newsletter that the whole group reads and then like a betta corner and like the catfish house. or something like that. So all the catagories are included. I would be happy to help with like begginer question stuff. but I personnaly think you should need to sign up for the newsletter. because some people might not want it. those are my thoughts. thanks for time.
 
Another idea would to bring back the Tank of the Month, Betta of the Month and Fish of the Month if there is a newsletter and it does go monthly. (I haven't seen this done in a while so I'm not sure if it still goes on)

I voted an enthusiastic yes as this sounds like a CRAZY GOOD idea.
 
There can always be a feature area. William has approved the newsletter. Below is the list of people/members who expressed interest in participating in publishing a TFF newsletter and what position they were interested in. If you are still interested in these positions, please PM me to confirm.

There have been no appointments....no decisions as yet....the project is still open for suggestions and positions. SH
