Ah but what about the hard disc space, the bandwidth usage, etc., it all adds up you know I reckon you should run the Agony Aunt column Reedy, "Dear Mr Lover...". Your tact and diplomacy could help many here with personal issues. |

Hmmm... It certainly has potential for greatness. Wouldn't want it more
often than weekly, though, and content would have to be "news and
update" based. I think the home page already does a good job you
letting people know what forum hot topics there are and any new
reviews, so I think it would be a waste of time including that.
Maybe a new additions to the archives section, and news on new releases and announced tours would be quite interesting. It would probably save a lot of work to get site users (some of whom are probably obsessional about particular bands) to e-mail in with any release dates etc they come across. Tour date news should be limited to "x is on tour from April, see -link to website- for more details" I think a new bands section, as mentioned in the original post, would be an excellent idea, as it would get bands attention a lot earlier. A few notes on what the band is like would be useful there too, and could all be volunteered by members. Excellent idea!  |

Don't like to be the damps squib here, but if the newsletter will simply contain what is already on the site, then I don't really see the point. If it contains other information such as prog news etc., then it could be attractive, but it takes a lot of effort to do that. The DPRP site recently lost their news co-ordinator, and had a difficult job getting a replacement. They themselves admitted it needed someone with a lot of time. Happy to give a newsletter a go, but the site should remain the priority (IMHO!).

Count me in.
Well informed Prog news is always hard to find and I'm sure Progarchives would do a great job fulling that role. What would be the intended frequency of releases Max? |
