Totse e-newsletter
buddha
Regular
I think we should consider an e-newsletter, Nothing too major just some of the top posts from a few of the forums, and general site news, upcoming raids, things like that.
I think it would help with member retention quite a bit, also remind people to visit a bit more, mainly for some that only come once every few weeks or so.
and some of the older members that may have forgotten about this place. Even the people who left because of lack of content at the time. I think it would help to show people the forum is active and strong.
Maybe even include a list of bans at the bottom (for the lulz)
I'd be willing to throw an example together if anyone is interested.
You could make it a simple check box during the registration process, or not, just include an unsub link in the email.
I was thinking a weekly rotation. Could have someone throw it together then send it to dfg or someone for distribution.
Could also make a nifty marketing tool for things like facebook and stuff.
Any thoughts? Improvements? STFU and go to hell Buddha?
I was just really like to see this new incarnation of totse succeed and be the best on the web. I think it has a lot more going for it that the old one never had. As long as the politics remain the same as they are now. But I'm sure this ship might have to be tightened up a little when we get a lot more users.
Lets see how it goes.
UPDATE 3-9-11: Take a look. This is what it should look like, please download this image, MAKE CORRECTIONS ON THE IMAGE IN RED. and email it back to me @ [email protected]
Ignore things like spacing and alignments as that will be taken care of in the actual newsletter.
Suggestions? Improvements? and obviously the subject matter will be different in the real one.

I'd do it, can't really fuck it up. I know enough html to make a nice looking and nice reading one. And I'm here enough to stay on top of things, and see the good threads.
We can gut one of the text file pages as a template. All that's needed is a the totse bg and a white div for the content. I can help with stuff.
I had all ready thought about a totse bg, Like I said I'll throw something together if I get the ok from dfg, you know just to give a general idea. then we can all discuss improvements to it.
We will wait and see, I hope so though, I think it'd be fun and give me a unique way to improve totse.
I'm on it.
I'll have a draft to you by Monday night. Hopefully sooner.
EEEEEE so exciting.
For the time being, can't you just use the email's from all the registered users?
Even if a mailing list had to be made, it would be a one time thing. Then just add the new arrivals every week before it gets sent out.
A newsletter forum, what a great idea. I'll make sure to put that in the newsletter.
eh? whats crackalackin?

I gotcha.
No praise yet, we will see how my pile of shit turns out.
Got to get ready for church, be back this afternoon to work on it.
Yep, can I haz the zip files please
Fucking ^This!
I think you broked something...
1680x1050, Firefox, Windows 7 (actually I think it might have been Backtrack Linux at the time, but they're both doing the same thing). :thumbsup:
I'm having meatloaf.
And I no like the CMS. poo on it.
You'll see what I mean in a bit.
Shouldn't be too much longer though.
I apologize for the delay.
No worries, take your time! No sense rushing things when you can take a little extra time on them and make sure they're perfect before submitting the idea
Oh so it has to be perfect eh? Well maybe you should just ask jesus to do it then.
I'm kidding.
Download it, make corrections, mail it back
See OP.
WOOHOO! Getting closer. Can you feel it?
This is good news! *Goes to check OP*.
Don't get your hopes up too far it's just an image, I ain't going to do all the shit until everyone is happy with the way it looks.
See the dates?
Want me to email it to you?
Forgot you are on a slow ass connection.
Well the first announcements section would be pretty much like what you see, the second guides and how tos would be whatever the newest ones posted were, probably 3-5 of them. And the hot topics part I was thinking the top 10, handpicked of course because some of fattys threads have no content but shitloads of posts. Kind of subjective, but I think it will work ok.
It's going to be different every week hopefully by alot so if we add to many guides and how tos it will be a lot of repeats week after week.
Btw my Internet is down, so I am at Raven's place.
What like a newsletter mailing list plugin thing? send me the info on it when you do, I want to make sure everything is going to work.
So I quess I'll start writing it up.
YEA! HTML!
And I guess with no other input, I'll keep it like it is.
Announcments
Guides and how-tos 3-5 (probably 3 for now up it to five when we start getting more.)
Hot topics 10-12
You know we need to come up with a way to...nvm, get the plugin then we will work out the details to distribute it.
