Hey everybody!

For some of the observant amongst you, Unionites will have seen that we're trying out a new feature here at Gaming Union; a community newsletter email written by myself! If you've not had a chance to read it yet, then be sure to check the inbox of the email address you've used to create your GU account to see what it's all about. Please note that this is the first time that we've actually used this feature on the forums, so we're not sure exactly how long it will take before everyone receives the email, so please be patient until then if you've not already received it.

The newsletter is aimed at letting you know all about what's going on in our Union Networks. We're hoping that by sending this out to the whole community on a weekly basis, it will help to let you know when events are being organised, or competitions launched, etc. It'll be helpful for everyone to make sure that they don't miss out on any of the community happenings here!

As this newsletter is written about the community for the community, we'd like to hear any feedback or suggestions that you have, about the content, the features that get included, or absolutely anything else about it that draws an opinion from you. As always, we'd absolutely love to hear what you think (good or bad) and will genuinely consider everything that you guys tell us. This newletter is targetted specifically to all our members, on the site, in the forums and to general users of the Gaming Union network, so with every response we get, we can be more sure that we're serving you all as best as we can. We're here to please and if we don't know what you like or dislike then what can we do to improve? Please don't hesitate to let us know your real opinions as this is a completely open forum!

Thanks for your continued support!

I like it a lot!

Put these out every week or two and we might get more people showing up on the forums.

Make sure to NOT put out more than one a week. Less is more.

Great idea!! This shall be interesting to see how it plays out.. but yes I love the idea, everyone is updated and on the same page. Great work so far Astharis!! ^.^

EDIT: Yes, I do agree though, maybe don't send this once a week.. maybe every other week? Because sometimes we don't have much going on (well not that many things that are different in between each week). And of course, with every other week or so, you're able to write more/have more coverage versus an every-week period. And I particularly like this idea because this will attract those who don't come to the forums as much, it'll get them to come here. Wink And of course, check your email inbox AND spam before you say that you didn't receive the email; mine was in spam...

It's a good idea...if people aren't on the forum all the time...It updates everyone...however, for those who are on the forums a lot, this probably won't make a difference...But that's just me...I don't need it...yet.

Nice idea Asth. I reckon once a fortnight would be good with a list of all upcoming character battles for the next two weeks.

I think it's a really good idea. Updating everyone about what's going on could be a great way to bring people back, who have almost completely forgotten about the forums (Notice I said 'almost', one never completely forgets something as good as these forums Tongue). Once every week is fine, IMO. So is once every two weeks, or even whenever you can fit one in, if your busy.

Thanks Asth.

Yea I like it, but you have to make sure it doesn't devolve into spam or just a letter saying unimportant news. Hey what ever happened to member of the month? I liked that, and it gave me a reason to go onto the site.

We're all looking for a hero in a world of villains.

Nice work Ashtharis. I think you did a great job. I agree with the majority here in that I feel its more suited to come out biweekly than every week.
