The problem is the time to do it and make sure its consistently done, rather than ad-hoc or a one off.
If some people are interested in this and we can get some constructive ideas for content then I think we should look at this again.
My preference would be to get a handfull of people who can provide short articles/obtain articles and info of interest for the subscribers.
If anybody wants to progress this, please start another post and lets see what input/ feedback from the community is. This could turn into a great addition to the community!
I need to add, right at the start, that I would have to reserve the right to edit articles/submissions.
By The Way, this is a great idea and one that I had forgoten about until mentioned now.
Well i for one am interested in contributing to the development of this, as strail has said lets get input off everyone on this....
Content could include, stuff similar to the Void weekly report thing we had a few weeks ago, but seemed to have disappeared.
stuff about new clans, etc
upcoming events
updates on the mod, current and future
just some ideas to get started on
EDIT: Have added a poll to get an idea of potential subscribers if this went ahead

Sounds like a good idea. Not much else to say in the matter for myself.

I really like this idea. Not only could it be a convenient way for all of us to hear news about the actual server/website/new mod/etc., it could also be a place for clans to place articles telling of what they have been up to lately or achievements they have made in order to create interest and possibly recruit new members. It could even be a place for some fan fiction/art or something along those lines.
The possibilities are really endless and it's a great idea if it gets done. Go for it. If you need some help with it I'll make some room in my schedule for it for sure. Just pm me.

ok people now we decided that its a good idea and a great way for less active forum members of void to keep up with goings on etc, lets start on content.
What would YOU like to see in it?
In my rought idea (see post above if you havnt already) i had the events list, a screenshot of the week, important clan news, stuff like that.
but what would you like to see in it? maybe you want something i havnt mentioned or want to expand one of my ideas?
Remember there is no wrong answer so get posting some content ideas? After all its a newsletter for us so it needs stuff we want to read in it
EDIT: btw thanks for "nice work" comments on my rough idea but it was a compleate copy paste job so i didnt actually do much just change the title and added some quick content but thanks anyway
