^You missed out the stars that are needlessly put next to all of the usernames:

The stars just look messy, and I see that the number aren't actually needed ; Just put the username without the stars next to them. The stars are pointless, anyway.

The stars tell you, at a glance, what category they're in. It comes in real hanfy in months like this when there are a ton of people in one single category, so you don't need to scroll up to the top to see what they are.

But this really shouldn't even be a discussion. It's my article, it's how I would like it to be put up, and I expect my opinion about my own article to be appreciated.

Right, right. You randomly went to the Anime forum, got to the correct topic and finally found the correct page and the pixel hidden in the middle of some massive spoilers. In the midtime, Qwert was able to find last month's pixel in a few minutes, when all the other members couldn't for over 20 days. Way to be subtle, guys.

As for the Editors, I say get rid of them both so we can find better.

Xeta, will do, once I can be bothered to open PS.

Ever come to think the others just couldn't be assed to find the pixel? This was my truthful strategy:

1: Use Search Function
2: Input "Vasco" as poster, 1 month as time limit, search.
3: Go toward the last page of the search results (seeing as it would have to be a post made on the day the NL came out or close to) and start checking every post you made via delete post. I went through about 5 topics then found it.

But it doesn't need to be numbered. Numbering it gives the impression of one over the other and all that crap, and I don't want it to say that. I just want it to state the block of posts where everyone is. In my opinion, it looks a little messier too. For it to say 1, 2, 3, exc. in front of it seems a bit messier than just putting the stars.
It was my impression that the writer generally wrote the format and the editor made sure there were no spelling or grammar issues.

If the Numbers really make you that unhappy, I guess we can find the compromise where we use MY format but I won't number them?

Also, on another note, as for these editor messages, I also was doing something similar, although I can see mine were generally more about clearing something up whereas Volke's are generally aimed at being more entertaining and I'll try and take that onboard.

Oh and forgot to say that before love the NL this month has to be my fav yet =P

oh and why not keep tv and volke and both fo can edit the artical or how about tv does it first month and the next month volke does it and so on =D.

I agree with the achievements and whatnot list.

This:
7.5 Subs
Vasco
Qwert
Xeta

69 Subs
Fililp

Looks much better than this:
7.5 Subs
1 Vasco
2 Qwert
3 Xeta

69 Subs
1 geezerguy

In my opinion, they shouldn't need to be numbered.

I like how I'm the first.

@ Layne and Qwert: So you WERE cheating. You're not supposed to use the Search Function, obviously.

A fantastic newsletter. Good job, also on time, now that's a first. Congratulations to everybody including XZYOE.

Nobody ever said that. You call it cheating, I call it being resourceful. xDD

Not bad. Even though I always skip game of the month

Second I believe, hehe.

So huur, thought I'd let you gaize know that I had to sent in my computer to get rid of a small annoyance. Using my PS3 right now, but since it's terribly slow to type, you won't be seeing me here. It should be back in two days. Hopefully.

I know what you mean by it being incredibly slow to type. Hope you get your computer fixed, mate. Haven't seen you on PSN for awhile either, take it you've been too busy PC gaming?

excellent newsletter guys

also,shouldn't I get an award for guessing the game of the month loony :p

Yeah, you get the "Pathetically Easy" achievement.

I gave you like five hints, and at the point it was pretty much impossible not to get it.

3 hints,and it was a game I never heard of before so finding it was like nearly impossible

An RPG, on the Xbox and PS2, with two words, one starting with D and the other with A. Yeah, that must have been sooooooooooooooo difficult for you.

Dragon Age came out yesterday though. ;_;

It isn't on the Xbox or the PS2. >.>

I actually read all of that. its pretty cool reading actually, cept it didnt have enough ozzo

I dont like that banner anymore. can I make another one? D: <

But it looks sexeh. ;_;

But, I guess we could have a new one for a new year? Wut does teh NL peeps think? Vascoooo.

I'd like a new one, but then again, I wouldn't be making it, so I don't really care about the workload associated with it.
