Re: Ares Express Issue 1

Well, I finally stopped just talking about it and got around to committing to a weekly newsletter about the best forum threads. You can check out the first issue of Ares Express on the main page - [http://www.newmars.com]http://www.newmars.com

I aim to get an issue out every Sunday, which conveniently means I don't have to do the next one until next week  :;): But it's never going to come out unless I get some help, so a few days before the deadline, maybe every Thursday, I will open up a new thread here asking for suggestions for threads and news items to be included.

You can see the general format of the newsletter now, and it should be pretty straightforward to adapt that. Don't treat it as a strict rule - as long as you describe why the thread is good and what's inside it, that's fine. And of course all the contributors will get credited.

Hope you like the first issue! It's more for people who don't really frequent the forums, and also to attract more people to register and start posting.

Re: Ares Express Issue 1

This is extremely cool. I hope that doing this isn't too time consuming for you, and I think it would be cool if others were to give you ideas as to what threads you might want to add when next week comes to ease up the ammount of sleuthing you have to do.
