Thought of this, so I'm making a thread to see what people (both above and below the Green) think.

A weekly newsletter would either not have that much in it, or wouldn't be that quality because we'd have to try to fill it with SOMETHING (at least that's my opinion). Anyways, what about every time a new headline is posted, it sends an email out to those who subscribe? I know that not everyone goes to the front page when they come here each time (I for one go right to the forums most of the time E15.gif ) and so sometimes they don't know a new headline was posted.

It could also feed the obsession of those who want anything DDR related to be part of their life. They could get a nifty little email that tells them about current DDR stuff.

/me raises hand

Me too.

I like this idea. The only time I ever go to the front page is when I'm trying to pull up Machine Locations or the Song Lists & Codes pages.

I'd prefer an RSS feed, but that's just me.

Sounds good to me also. Would it be sent to the e-mail address that is connected with your username? For me its AOL, and I get spammed so much there I basically just go through and delete everything so I probobly wouldn't even notice it. Since its not really an important part of the forums (like the e-mail account that verifys your username) would it be possible to submit a different e-mail account?
