I like the idea, although you say you want to bring more activity to the forum but if there isn't enough already whats going to make the news for the site enjoyable?

Thanks for your question. In my opinion, the Sinister News could improve the forum in terms of activity and overall make it more enjoyable for its users because it simply provides a spot where everyone can go every week and check if they've been featured, what happened on Sinister, what new rules, tweaks or whatever else came in place, etc.
It'd simply give members a reason to check back at least once a week. That's how I think it could improve Sinister.

We've talked about this a fair bit within Lunar, so I'd welcome you to come apply if you're interested.

Do you mean the usergroug "Lunar"? You want me to apply for that?

This has definitely come up in some other threads (forgive me, I can't remember which exactly) but I know there's several individuals interested in it. Stay in contact with Lunar members as I believe (as mentioned above) they may be making some sort of headway with this idea.

Thank you for your contribution!

Thanks for your comment. I will check back with the Lunar members and see what they've been up to so far. Would be really interested in getting this going and giving this another try.

it's basically a weekly compilation of different sections, all - or at least mostly - based on the forum.

I'm all for this, but It's success depends on the longevity pertaining to It's contributors.

It's one thing getting It up and running, and another keeping It In a functional state without breaks In continuity. That Is, members must be dedicatedly Involved, week In, week out. In my experience, It Is somewhat difficult to maintain It as such.

In saying that, good suggestion.

Yep, exactly with you on that. It definitely needs a dedicated, willing and professional team to keep this going but also up to standards at all times.
I wouldn't want some half-assed edition every week. Either do it properly, or nothing at all. That's why I need the help of experienced users on this forum, since you guys are the ones who know the true HQ members on here.

Even though I wouldn't want to be as pessimistic as @"Primitive" seems to be about this, I have to agree with him that a weekly news edition with severe grammatical mistakes and weird sounding articles, isn't really something we need.
What we need - and in my opinion deserve - is a quality news edition published every week that's made for HQ members from HQ members. Thank you for your comment.

Nothing goes on here mate. A lot of extreme social introverts here. The news would create such a toxic environment. That's my geniune insight. I'd read a line of the article and it'd trigger me due to the amount of potential of pure stupidity and poor English. Yes, I realize this is an English based forum. Yes, that makes it worse when Staff and other forum "official events" demonstrate their lack of a middle school English education.

I sure as hell would feel bad if someone competent was editor. That'd be a bad joke.

Let's not play bad jokes on this community.

Thanks for your comment. As I sort-of mentioned above already, I don't really get why you are so negative about this. Obviously, I don't know what happened before. What's clearly happening this time, though, is that seemingly a group of members is trying to establish a second, more professional run and is trying to build up something here. It's not forced upon anyone.

If there are people willing to do this, absolutely voluntarily, they will surely put in the necessary effort to do this properly. It doesn't help to bash this right away without even having tried this out.

Don't feel like cutting everything out of that quote but yes, I mean the group. If you read the update thread I posted, you'll see our goal is media-centered - news included.

Don't worry, I check my threads often enough.
And alright, I'll go ahead an apply then. It never crossed my mind to apply for any type of group, simply because I've been here for a week now and didn't really contribute that much yet.

But thanks for the opportunity!

Let us know if anything more happens with this. Or even a thread to say if Lunar is going to start it up would be great. A lot of ideas get mentioned, hyped, then never come into play, so I would be very interested to see this one work out.

Definitely will. I applied for Lunar, didn't get anything back yet, though. Honestly I'm not expecting much as I literally do not fulfill any of the requirements.
Besides Lunar, nobody else has come forward yet. If I don't hear back from Lunar or its leaders I may try to build this up on my own.

That's fair. Give it a week or so (things move slowly with groups) and if not, you can always make a start on it, and perhaps merge the project with Lunar when you meet the requirements?

Yep, that's pretty much what I had in mind. I'm in no way trying to rush things, but I want this to happen somewhat soon, too.
Merging the project is probably a good idea, although the process of me reaching the requirements could take a while, but we'll see!

That sounds good then! I'm sure you'll reach their requirements soon enough. Good luck!

I've talked about wanting to do a podcast with some news and some users opinions on certain topics, but didn't get much interest in that. Still, nice to see people interested in whats going on in our world.

I'd love something like that, actually. Maybe we could cooperate on that?
Not now, as I said I'm still waiting on Lunar's response, but would you be generally up for that?

User opinions and interviews (could be compared to podcasts) is something I definitely wanted in this news thing.
