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!

lol i'd buy it just for that!
When I become a notable I'd like a centre page spread to celabrate a long over due victory.
;)

i still like the "cheap RAM" add
but i do agree with the topic. I used to like seeing myself in the mag.

So, any staff want to comment? I'm sure they'll be only reading the forums when they come in on monday morning anyway, that and making the coffee.
Only kidding guys!

I concur with pb, although I do like the upcoming releases bit in the top right-hand corner of most pages.
Shame that they usually end up being released a month later. {:S

I remember when there used to be a good 8 or 10 pages at the back with reviews and screen shots, now theres like two. Sickening!
If people have to pay for it, then it should be more of a magazine than a catalogue. I know it's meant to advertise products, but how about 4 or 5 pages of games for each console, rather than 1 page of listings. That way more pictures, some reviews and of course quotes from 'proper' magazines showing high scores, can be shown.
I'm not sure if that was already said, since I haven't read through all the replies :).

No, it's over there there
:-D
:-D
here here
I agree with it all too.
I'll look at the forum thing (If it is in it) and the reviews (Should be more) and thats it, all the prices etc are on the web so I check them there.
More stuff on staff would be good, also stuff from users on here could be helpfull. A section on gameaday with views from notables regulars etc could bring more people here which is the main aim isn't it?
