In addition I would like to take a moment to point out that within the next week the first news letter will be going out. At the bottom of any page of the forums you will find a blank to subscribe to it. Here I will list the major features our news letter will have in it.

Updates and Opportunities:
The news letter will have a complete list of all the updates made to the site since the last issue. Things such as server changes, new site sections, news updates, new forums or categories, rule changes or additions, hosting opportunities, services available, and team position openings will be listed here. Typically, anything new on the site will be listed here to keep all recipients informed of the happenings on the forums.

Community Projects, Activities, and Ideas:
Here any projects that community members are a part of, such as new websites with intersting content and file hosting, or activities like threads intended to role play, create short stories, and genrally get members involved on the site are displayed. Also ideas submitted to nefarioustool@gladiatornetwork.com and info@gladiatornetwork.com will be reviewed and placed in this section, with credit given to the members who submit them.

Editorials:
Here any comments or notifications submitted to the previously designated mail boxes will be posted with credit given to the member/author of the peice. It is a great way to notify people of upcoming events, or a time of abscence a member will be incurring.

Member of the Month:
Each month, on a particularly selected date, the team will vote upon a member who appears to be outstanding on the boards as far as activity and helpfulness, and all around productivity goes. Team members are not excluded from this, and we take no responsibility for any bias decision making. However, we are a fair group and probably, I repeat probably, wont pat ourselves on the back too much. :)

Ways to Support Forum Chat:
And as always, Forum Chat is a bannerless and Add free site. However, we do require the help of our members to make the site possible to generate possible revenue or interest in the future. Forum Chat is already a phenomenal success, but we wish to expand and reach as many people as possible. This section will include links to support and boost the advertising of this site, as well as other ways to help us out.

That about wraps it up for now. As things change and ideas pour in, the letter might change. Just please take the time to sign up and recieve this wonderful service that will help bond our community together. Thank you.
