BoddaH1994 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A long time ago in a galaxy far far away KIC used to send out monthly newsletters. Due to shifts in market demand, we stopped doing it after about a year. The time has come to ask you, the KIC Universe, if KIC had a monthly newsletter, would it be something which you were interested in receiving. Notes: This newsletter would be 100% voluntary -- you'd have to sign up for it to get it. We, of course, would never EVER sell your email address to any 3rd party. We promise. Scout's honor. Some information in the newsletter would be exclusively sent to people who get the newsletter... going above and beyond information on the forums.

The Interpreter Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 A huge yes here, but not only should you not SELL our e-mail addresses to others, you shouldn't share them in exchange for other considerations or give them away, either. Just sayin'... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrill_Biscuit Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Oh, yes! More! I can use all the KI information I can get!

Tomkatt7 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 I would enjoy it, plus if you sell my e-mail, its just that many more chances for me to sign up on match.com!!!! Even though I'm married with 2 kids!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Picard Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I don't see a need for it. If you have some news to share post it on KIC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RailRider Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes from me and I also think an interesting section would be get to know your KIC member or actually have a member thats not staff contribute to an article occassionaly. Just a thought, but a huge yes from me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74Gibson Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes please I like RailRider's idea. I learned very quickly that there are some very intereesting people on here and it would be fun to know more about them. It would also ease some of my curiosity.

tigellinus Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 ^^And I'm sure the internet stalkers would also like their address and place of employment!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

standbyme Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Some information in the newsletter would be exclusively sent to people who get the newsletter... going above and beyond information on the forums. Would I sign up for it, yes. Do I think this is necessary, no. I frequent this site because I expect to get ALL of the KI info that the mods know...I don't see the need to hold things back for a newsletter. I do appreciate that you are striving to come up with new ideas though...really. (I also like RailRider's idea though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 I actually have to agree with Standbyme, if there is info that we should know, put it on here. We have this site as our newsletter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 Yes from me and I also think an interesting section would be get to know your KIC member or actually have a member thats not staff contribute to an article occassionaly. Just a thought, but a huge yes from me. What a GREAT idea! Would I sign up for it, yes. Do I think this is necessary, no. I frequent this site because I expect to get ALL of the KI info that the mods know...I don't see the need to hold things back for a newsletter. I do appreciate that you are striving to come up with new ideas though...really. (I also like RailRider's idea though.) I don't see us neglecting info from KIC in order to do a newsletter, but rather have it as an augmentation of what's on KIC. User-written articles is a perfect example.

JAHill Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe KIC Doodles could even have a part in it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kawana Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm down. Yes from me and I also think an interesting section would be get to know your KIC member or actually have a member thats not staff contribute to an article occassionaly. Just a thought, but a huge yes from me. I would write something for that section if the need arose. That's an excellent idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violakat03 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Absolutely yes, but I recommend not following in the footsteps of many other forums and making it just a reiteration of things that have already been posted. One of my favorite forums does this - once a month, sends out a "what's been happening on the forum" newsletter. Considering I'm on that forum daily, I pretty much just delete it, since it's links to news articles that have been posted and interesting member posts in the main forum. I read all those anyway! Member articles, trip reports (especially to parks that not many of us have been to, like ones in California and such), get to know a KIC member ... all those are excellent ideas!

Beast1979 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Of all the ideas thrown around I think that a review page of hot topics and ptrs of other parks is great, and a get to know a member is an awesome idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
