Hail one and all.

Behold the first issue of the Frozen Tribunal. We hope to be producing a monthly newsletter following this prototype release today, 1st June.

We have many, many articles lined up as we didn't want to overload the first issue and have nothing to follow.

If you have something you wish to contribute, do not hesitate to contact me. I plan to be interviewing every project in due time, so don't feel left out if your work isn't featured immediately!

Any feedback and comments welcome!

The site is ugly, but alright content.

The layout was kind of weird; there were many errors in grammar and spelling (which makes it a bit annoying to read) and I'm still not sure what the return bug actually *does*.
On the other hand it's a nice initiative, and with some improvements it could make a quite interesting read.

Also, many of us are not so interested in Tim. that we want to read two pages of interview about him. Well, I'm not, anyway.

It's a newsletter, not a bloody website. We will have a mailing list set up in the near future.

It's also missing a lot of graphical content that I requested from people, so expect the next edition to be a bit less bland :)

As for spelling and grammar Berry, there's only so much you can do to someone's interview without changing the author of the answer :P

EDIT: i just looked at it in a lower res.... shit! =( *gets to work*

Read a tutorial about it, then, the article wasn't meant to explain it, but to tell it's history.

Nobody is forcing you to read it all, just read those articles you find interesting.

I think its pretty snazzy for a first newsletter. The staff is new at this, so we couldnt have expected a super-cool brilliant newsletter thing, but its a great initiative and going somewhere for sure.

Yo, do you want my opinion or not? If you can't take any criticism, there's no point in asking, now is there?
If you write an article on something's history, it'd be at least nice if you could decently explain what it is you're writing about. *Why* is it so useful, *why* did this and that happen.
And is that the same attitude you'd use as editor of, say, a magazine? "Well, probably noone will want to read this, but then they can just go read something else, so I'll put it in all the same!"
That's not the point is it? You want to put stuff in it that people will want to read.

Why should he take criticism that has nothing to do with the subject? He wrote the history of it, not WHAT IT IS. You criticised him for what he chose to wrote about, not how good he wrote about what he did.

edit: And i'm one of them who did enjoy the interview about Tim, since i wasn't that active on the site when it shut down.
