I like getting the Sr mag through the post every month or so, but sometimes it's just a load of prices and nothing else. There should be a friendlier feel to the mag, to encourage people to come on the site and to join the company too.
OK, you might be thinking that we don't need any more newbies on this site, but the company relies on this kind of advertising and personal relationships (I'm not talking about what Snuggly and Goatboy get up to either) to sell more goods and be a service that people want to keep coming back to.
To do this, firstly this site needs a lot more advertisment. Keep the page at the back of the mag that used to appear each magazine, the one with the stats and the news about members here. If people see that it's a community then they will want to join. More pictures, more wild stories about the members, a bit like a newspaper front page. Hell, make it two pages, there's enough stuff goes on here. While you're at it, why not print a sample from a hot topic on these forums too.
Another thing you could do would be to have the staff in the mag more often, the pic of the lot of you in the racing gear was pretty good, so why not try something similar, or a staff corner of the mag, even if it's a comedy one.
The main section of the mag, with all the things you sell, is already a very well laid out section and doesn't really need changing, but I reckon that a few more personal touches would make all the difference to how many people you get on this site and how many sales you get as well...and I'm sure the pictures of us lot wouldn't drive them all away, honest!

Old mag ruled, it was funny.
"This month we have been:...".
Mind you, the reviews are slightly askew and that's cool. I detect the renegade comedy stylings of news_monkey creeping through.
New mag is informative yet...how does one put this...dry?
Cost effective maybe, but I have to admit to not giving it much of a glance.

I like the mag. I agree with Semajal about that 'Cheap RAM' add. That made me chuckle. I remember those forum members pages - didn't they have little profiles of notables or something?
I'd like them back.
