In the next day or so I'll be activating a news mailing list.
The purpose of this is to help you stay informed with what is happening within the community without you having to read every thread on the forum.
It will be a low-noise email list, with a message going out at maximum once a week, but it's far more likely that it will be send out fortnightly or monthly.
The kind of thing you can expect the mailing list to let you know?
Events
Rides
Races
Parties and BBQ's
Bike Polo championships
Track days
Jumble sales
News
Road safety incidents
Mainstream news (mayor pissing around with us, etc)
LFGSS news
Community stuff
T-shirts and other merchandise
Competitions
Anything that majorly affects the site
Bikes and bits
If we've seen stuff at bargain prices
New products that may be of interest
I'm sure you get the idea.
Hopefully it will just be a summary to give you a 15-30 minute run down of everything that's happened or about to happen so that you stay in the loop.
Now, I'm using a dedicated piece of mailing list software for this, because doing so means you can unsubscribe easily and it will remove you if your messages bounce, etc. All well and good, but I need to load email addresses into that system from this forum.
And this is the point of this post... if you do NOT wish to be on the mailing list when it is created first thing Monday morning, then you should go to the Edit Options page of your UserCp:
http://www.londonfgss.com/profile.php?do=editoptions
And on that page you should opt out of receiving email from Administrators.
You were given that option when you registered, but I just want to make sure you know it's there now so that you're now subscribed without wanting to be.
Additionally, I'm making un-subscribing as easy as possible and every message sent from the news list will contain a footer explaining very quickly how to get yourself off the mailing list.
Anyhow, there you are... it's all in place, and I'll do some testing tomorrow whilst the TdF is on and we'll launch it next week.
