general descriptionWhat do you think about a own proboards support newspaper? I know that ssdesigns has one, but I want to have something completely different. There will be some news, some articles about computers and some other, also there will be something like comics, stories, ?.. But for making something like that you?ll need a lot of time, or a big team of people. So I was thinking about a three weekly newspaper. And some people who write every edition, and some freelance writers. Maybe we can even work together with some other forums (I've already some in my head) but that will be for later. What do you think about this? Suggestions? FAQhow will we publicize it?we will make a post for it in this forum, with our newspaper in, we will also add it at a website and make a .doc, the option of mails can come later. what will the name of the newspaper be?the name will be chosen by the members of proboards support, they will give suggestions for the name, and choice in a poll the final name do we have the permission of pat?at the moment we haven't, but the message to ask it is already sent, now I'm waiting for the answer interested peoplepossible jobs2 head redactorHe will check everything, read the articles and make a decision of which article will be be used in the newspaper, he will also choose new writers etc. (crazyone)1 head designHe will make all of the images (or let it make), so he will make the layout of the newspaper. He may also make articles about designing and tutorials. (||| KhAoS |||)1 head articlesHe will lead the writing of articles, and read the articles for the first time and choose of they are good enough. head categoryEach category will have a head, he needs to select the article subject and sent to the head of design which images are needed to make a good article. 2 readersThey will read the newspaper first and give their opinions, suggestions and try to find as many as possible typo's out of it. (pieman)?? writersWriting of articles every edition. (crazyone, ||| KhAoS |||, Link Voorhees, Oranjy)?? freelancerswriting of articles / the parts in blue are just the basic planning, probably it will change. categoriesWe will write articles basicly at these 3 categories: - computer+internet+other
- general
- other
articlessorry, but this part will stay secret, to keep the suprise effect higher . I've already a list of 20+ articles that will be in every edition

It's a nice idea in theory, but there's a few things you need to take into consideration: - you won't be able to use "proboards" in the name, because ProBoards is a registered trademark. - what format is it going to be in? email newsletter? website? where will the funding for hosting come from? - what will you actually be able to put in it that will make it worth reading? PB news is posted here on PB Support already, and a lot of people post stories, computer stuff, and so on in GT.
I'm not trying to take down your idea, just to make sure you're aware of those possible problems or issues.

I'm not trying to take down your idea, just to make sure you're aware of those possible problems or issues. thanks for the reply Indeed we can't, but of course we would take an other name, a new one, like the ssd has the herald. I was planning to post it here at the forum in a thread, put it at a website (in the beginning at a free host, and maybe later a paid, or we can try to make a deal with a hosting company (something like they may add ads in the newspaper when we get good hosting). and make a .doc file so that people can print it easily etc. and if there would be a site, then the other things aren't difficult: the email should be also in HTML (can be done easily with some changes). indeed, but there is always more, and with stories I mean little books, poetry etc. and most people doesn't post it here about the articles you are right, but we can take with every edition something out: for example: mail services, then we would compare some host (free and paid), explain how it started, viruses, spam etc. I hope I made myself clearlier, and if there are more questions, I want to answer these with pleasure.

Hmm, the ProBoards newsletters sounds good, you'll have to ask Pat if he does not mind someone posting news and information about PBSupport and other related things being posted around though, or being e-mailed. It sounds nice, but who all do you think are going to help out?

It sounds nice, but who all do you think are going to help out? I've sended a pm to patrick, now waitning for the answer I hope to get a little team of people like ?Oranjy? and some other people. This is a very similar idea to what I was thinking. If you get the ball rolling then maybe I could help out...good luck. I hope to get more support and the permission of patrick, because that would make everything easier And I'm hoping to work with you very soon

It sounds nice, but who all do you think are going to help out? I tried setting up a Proboards newsletter and i also tried to see if Patrick would in some way endorse it but to no avail, but i can see where he is coming from. Anyhow below are a couple of his comments when i told him about the newsletter: I was probably beginning to annoy him after recieving this pm...those were the nOOb days Anyhow so i really wouldn't confront Patrick about this as his views on the newsletter matter will not have changed. Anyhow good luck with it and if you need any help i'm only a AIM or PM away

Anyhow good luck with it and if you need any help i'm only a AIM or PM away not really something that motivates you but we'll see, I need to recieve first a pm of him with the answer. I'll see what to do I think that there are enough people before the idea, so we can start making plans, finding a good name, making deals, deadlines etc. edit: some questions that are worth answering: - How much articles will we make each edition?
- will we have a 3-weekly or a monthly edition, or maybe faster?
- Will we work with subject (1 subject and the whole edition will go about it).
more will follow very soon
