Airwarfare Newsletter

[EURO_Snoopy]

I've been thinking...

What about a weekly newsletter sent out to all board subscribers containing the news, articles and releases during the week?

Would you all be interested in such a thing?

[CrazySchmidt]

Sounds great! Count me in.

Cheers, CrazySchmidt.

[Fiend]

Sure, I'm in. Just so long as there are no Ads in the emails.

[T_O_A_D]

Sure I have no problem with it.

[Howie]

Sign me in... thanks

[Extreme_One]

Sounds like a great idea.

I would like to see a good newsletter develope with up to date information relevent to this forum, maybe with some advice from those with good knowledge on settings for different graphics cards, as not all of us can afford to upgrade to the latest and best cards.

in and out for a newsletter let me know.

I could create a php function for this and would gladly volunteerd for this.

Please just make any kind of newsletter an opt-in option. Don't automatically subscribe members--let them choose to receive it. I get well over 500 emails a day (legit) as it is and enjoy forums because I can read them at my leisure and not have them forced on me.

Yesterday evening I had nothing to do, my girlriend was not at home so she couldn't entertain me either .

So I made a little start on an opt in / opt out system.
Eurosnoop knows nothing about it yet but I will submit it to him as it becomes finished.
( he will learn about it when he reads this )

I love the "users" genral defintion of spam. They don't pay attention to the fact that they signed up for something that not only allows them to be spammed by them, but also allows the company in question to pass around their e-mail address like some biker chick!

I think the newsletter is an excellent idea as long as you...

1) Make it so someone has to like, check a box or do something affirmative and direct to be signed up. I know you'd never do this Snoop, but we've all been to the website where they pre-check it's ok to spam me and pass around my e-mail address. In my opinion, this is the height of dishonesty. I'm not mentioning it because I think there's a chance in hell you would do such a thing, but to assure the readers that you won't.

2) Make it easy to unsubscribe.

3) Never, for any reason give out the e-mail addresses of members to enyone else. Maybe you can trust the person or organization you deal with, but with the exception of maybe http://www.magnum-pc.com you really can't trust the people they may give the information to. Joe at http://www.magnum-pc.com not only makes sure whoever he gives an e-mail address to...

sometimes it is needed for an order

that they handle that e-mail address with care. He jealously guards you information to the true best of his ability.

In fact, it would be great if we could sign up to be spammed by companies like http://www.magnum-pc.com After all, as long as we know they are not giving out our e-mail address and it's a company Snoop thinks is worth knowing about... and others should chime in as well, it can only help those who read this forum.

Great idea, even if only done bi-weekly. Every few days I check "What's new on AW" to keep current.
