hmm i think an online magazine might be kinda cool if the admins and stuff were up to the challenge.

i think that if freeze ever comes back that along with the new boost and freeskier will be enough for the magazine racks

It was already done once before in the past, and just kind of died out.

Problem is that magazines are published like a year after stuff happens. So you'd pick up a magazine in January and it would be like "Member of the month from last January"

And that would suck. :)

I think a magazine is a dope idea, but there's just so much more we could do with the money it would take to get it started... I mean imagine the costs... and then imagine if you just invested that in a good website.

If someone wants to start their own magazine and base everything off of what happens on Newschoolers then by all means please do and we'll help you out like you have no idea.

I just fail to believe that magazines are the future.

we dont want freeskiier to develop a huge online community, so im sure they dont want us to develop another magazine that would take away from them

Is there a solution to keep photos online? Like if we had some kind of full-screen gallery of full resolution photos or something like that?

Or is there just something really to be said about holding the photos in your hands?

I think it's the classic plastered all over the wall look that people go for with mag pictures. We want someone else to print them so we can just tear em out and apply tape. That will never get old.

That would still be sick though.

I think it would be amazing if someone could assemble a NS coffe-table magazine/book type thing. Like the quality of The Ski Journal as far as nice materials, but filled with member-submitted photos and maybe the top 5 or 10 highest rated front page news stories complete with photos. Also maybe each team that pays for updates could have 1 page with their best photos from the year.

that would be wayy sick, and I would easily shell out $25 for one.

we talked about doing this before and I called the makers of frequency and we talked about options, and to do what I wanted you would need tons of money down and a very large circulation to make it worth your while. Not to mention lots of money to put down initially
