    Is anyone interested in an e-mail newsletter? If so what would you like to see in it?

    Hmmm, well, in it you can do things such as:

    -top poster of the month
    -how many members registered that month
    -competition winners
    -irc server of the month... have a vote on the forums first, and at the end of each month the one network with the most votes wins...

    thats just a quick brainstorm for now :p

    I'd be up for receiving a newsletter. Maybe there could be a thread where people could post news for the newsletter? Just say as D3M0N suggested plus any highlights from that month such as the Atheme forum.

    You opt-in/opt-out of receiving emails from the administrators in your preferences, Marchs still hasn't been sent as I was waiting on Tappy to do it cos he has a nice template for it, however I'll just sent a plain one via the forums for now. Maybe next month we can use the template Tappy made for us.

    This could be considered self-promotion though. And that's something we always get accused of anyway :p So I don't think that is too likely.

    On the topic of the newsletter though, we need to get back onto it!

    I would personally find it very interesting if things like security exploit / new cool features of popular irc software would be covered in the newsletters.
    And things that are important to forums of course.

    Wouldn't it just be easier to start our own mailing list? Then anybody can mail 'news' to it.
