Would you rather have an Online Magazine, where a newsletter (Graphically formatted in HTML) is sent to your mailbox from a Mailing List, which contains links and references back to a webpage, or would you rather have one you could buy from a news stand, like a PCStats magazine or an issue of EGM?

Newstand definately. I enjoy having something I can read on the John.

I'd say newsstand...but I'd be reluctant to give up either as both have their advantages.

Ok, well what do you guys think of BOTH then, the online version requiring payment AND having an online community?

Oh yeah, I made an online community to get some initial support for it. PLUS, you might even get the chance to work with me on the magazine.

Thats the link, but it doesn't seem to be working...Anyone know of a non-paying host with PHP and SQL capabilities? I'm really getting tired of FreePhpbb....good as it was, with almost no ads, it SUCKS for uptime and connectivity (Though it IS fast when you're on it).

Seeing as how the first one is free and the second I would have to buy, online newsletter.

Hehehe, I was waiting for someone to say that. I personally think free is the way to go, but if it goes printed press, they gotta get the money from somewhere...
