You guys want to start another newsletter! I probably should just shut up but my frustration is over the top! If I misunderstand your intentions then I apologize in advance.
Here is a suggestion that would help...How about doing your newsletter on the main page of the forum and we add a category so that the posts would be under a solitaire heading. I have a test example up using French posts.
http://miniaturefootball.org/about-the-mfca/test/ It would be just like having an online newsletter/magazine. You can even have a banner that goes up with each edition and a download as a pdf. All of this is already there for the taking...use it. We have hundreds* of new people that go to the main site every day, but the only one willing to post anything new is French Guy and me when I can find the time to grab something that is on the forum and stick it over there. It is our number one promotional tool, but I can't get you guys to use it or even explore it. WHY!? You want new players don't you? Well the new players DON"T COME TO THE FORUM FIRST...they find that main page and IF it has something interesting they explore deeper. You are all missing the boat and I can't do it without you.
*(last month-5373 real visits, they spent an average of 6.33 minutes on the site. 21% were completely new. That is 1128 new people that came to the site either by search, mistake or curiosity)
There, my piece is said...hopefully it results in action, but I'll put my money on the under.
