[IDEA] Forum Newsletter

True, I suppose the rumours could actually be real and allow users to discuss what they want for the things though.

It could be but as I said, we don't want people to think "WHY DIDNT THE RV PANEL GET UPDATED NOW WE'RE STUCK WITH THIS USELESS ONE"

N.B. I'm not saying it's useless because it's not, shame it only works on IE8 in IE though (I think anyway)

I think the news and articles department could write a newsletter and release it once every one or two weeks. Department managers could put a progress update in it, hilight what's going on.

It could work, so long as it was community oriented in such a way that everyone could connect to it, and not just cheap repetitive endorsements of departments

I think a nice weekly/monthly round up would be nice. All changes in it, staff hiring/firing etc, updates and all. I hardly look at announcements, but if something was compiled to one thread a week/month I would.

I can't help IE7 is rubbish ;[

And if we had this discussion about scripts, I'm sure you might be happy about the point your making

You should be thankful it works in IE anything!

Hopefully soon there will be something like this but I think it may just be for managers. I am sure there would be no harm in letting users see it as well but what has seemed to make it fail in the past is trying to make it have all these competitions and events etc and the actual purpose of the news letter is lost. I think if we keep that and stick to the facts it should be fine.

Been involved in this personally last time with Lana, pasta and a few others and it failed. Mainly cause it had things such as HxL content directly ripped from the website and nothing that new or interesting. Also gave myself and Lana a headache thinking of columns to write. Although, it used to have something from each department, and some were just useless columns, not really giving anything juicy or new.

If it is re-formed in a different way then sure it does have potential, as long as it gives new bits of information and is something that is worthwile reading.

Perhaps that's an indirect sign indicating that we need quicker change to Habbox, and more frequent. Take ClubHabbo for example. They have a very nice layout on their website. We could implement a similar design flavoured in a Habbox way, couldn't we? If we had more changes, we would have more to talk about, more things to cause excitement which is worth discussing.

I don't think newsletters work. By the time they're published, the news is already old! If people can't be bothered to check the announcements forum once in a while, are they really going to read a newsletter anyway?
