Just an idea to keep players aware of happenings in sub-forums. We need some sort of player/site-owner run news feed that details the best RPs occuring, any new contests or content that users want to share. I think this would be a good step towards community unity.

We have a monthly Newsletter. Here is the latest edition. It's been running pretty steadily despite website crashes for a few years now. Currently it is getting buried up in the news section. But we do welcome user contributions, aid and input. Take a peek, join in.

@Lillian Thorne Yeah, I need to make things more visible. I don't like that my topic dominates the news. I have a few ideas in mind. One idea is to make a sort of "blog" system where staff can check a box on their blog post that publishes their post to all users' feeds as if all users were subscribed to them (i.e. they receive a notification). Site news, feature announcements, rule clarifications, RPGN posts, etc. could all go through this system so that updates are pushed to users instead of waiting for users to hopefully meander to the news subforum. I also want to add a sidebar to the homepage with small widgets that show things like the latest X news items, your latest X subscriptions, etc to increase breadth visibility of things happening on the forum.

That would be really great. Thanks for taking a look Mahz!
