B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 isnt this site kind'of like a magazine but it doesnt get ripped, covered in ashed beer, have the best pictures ripped out and put on toilet walls, front cover used for tokers, propping up wonky tables, glossy paper for funnels, swatting flies, ripping of the corner of pages to pick your teeth, snorting crack etc etc etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Considering how much effort and time goes just into creating an annual calendar (and then how little interest there is from the forum as a whole), I think a monthly magazine would be nigh on impossible to pull off.

B.L.Z.BUB Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Calendar? How the hell did I miss that? Â Considering how we should all aspire to be in it... Its my goal from now on. One day Hiro, one day. Edited December 21, 2009 by blzbub666 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
67Rolla-Ken Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Yeh, what happened to this years calendar?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLO-030 Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 Not enough interest i think. Â While we're on a roll here, lets do RC-TV. would be like speedweek but better yo..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch_mac Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 maybe instead of doing it monthly try qaurterly or every six months to start with you could do a projects bit in the back tech section ect ect just some ideas i no some guys on here are handy with cameras and computers just an idea i do agree with the point it is like a online magazine but having a copy to spread the word and show mates at work or bbqs or something you never know it might catch on i just think montly you will do two months and thatd be it every six months give time to do show coverage and time for more show cars and projects to pop up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted December 21, 2009 Report Share Posted December 21, 2009 (edited) Mag sounds good tho I agree to sending online if it ever were to take off. I wouldn't post as I've seen how rough the post machines are. You have to remember that its all volunteer work from all the admins and done in their spare time. I would recommend that if your keen for news and updates you check the news forum. Admin are trying to do things like COTY to reward its members too.  As for the calendar I cancelled it as one person sent me pictures. 3 people placed orders. It was a massive drop in interest compared to last years 130 orders. I will try to do what I did last year next year. Tho some states are pretty dead now a days.  Oh and FYI I've got 30 x 2009 calendars sitting here that I will be binning by the new year. Free just pay postage. I will have new sticker designs in the new year...  Some sneak peaks...  KE10...  KE30...  Tho they might be windowless...  I'll try to have all shapes and models...   EDIT Oh and if you have good side on pics please send me them  thanks, J.

flat out Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 rollaclub is basicaly an online magazine, and its updated daily, honestly its a pointless idea, maybe some one like toymods could do some thing like this, but the cost would be stupid,  maybe a news letter is a better idea  my 2c'  casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redae71 Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 I would just do it as an online mag... forget the money side, try and do it for free and distribute it for free. thats a good idea, if they email it to members that sign up for it and maybe feature one tech article plus members news and comp results and upcoming events etc, even feature a project every edition i would definitely pay a few bucks, then if your selling something they could charge you a couple of bucks and feature it in the mag and everyone would see it and give the mods a bit of revenue for running the site etc, i think it would be great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted December 22, 2009 Report Share Posted December 22, 2009 Love the idea but I'm not sure how much material you'll be able to come up with. I struggle just finding enough time and interesting stuff to post much news on the front page. If you think you can get some good news going I'm happy for you to have a go as a news moderator (Rollaclub journo). I would absolutely love it if someone with an interest in journalism could do some car feature articles etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
