I don't see why this hasn't happened yet..WarmApplepie wrote:AbsolutelyDKS wrote:Kaivan wrote:Agreed, and that's what I was talking about regarding sending a one time message via the forums regarding an opt-in newsletter. The only grievance that I have with that position is that the idea is that we're using an option that is intended for forum administration purposes to do something that is very clearly not a matter of forum administration. However, no better solution exists for getting those who have already signed up for accounts to be on such an external mailing list than that.
The only thing that I would point out is that if we choose to do this, we would need an opt-in option as part of the forum registration process that allows players to add themselves to the mailing list upon sign up, and a method for those who decide not to be on the list to later sign up for the list.
On the 'global settings' portion of the forum, it says "Administration may email me information". Is this new or has this always been here? If so, seems like you would be able to send out a newsletter!
but if we can come up with a legit UOSA newsletter, ill email it to all the forum accounts that have their emails attached.
