A Call For Contributors I

It has come to my attention that some of our audience is even more casual than I previously believed. This is understandable. I like to think we offer something for everyone, just not every day, and especially not on days when neither of us posts. Also, this green thing isn't working for me, so why should anyone else tolerate it? (Anybody know someone with taste who can design a no-frills web site? I have disliked frills ever since I had to collect 12 of them from Murloc slave traders in WoW.)

We cover a lot of ground here, incrementally. If you're turning in once a week for my long-promised rant about the sad state of pornography, only to find another two-man Battlestar Galactica pile-on (now that would be something to write about: Doc Cottle getting some action), you might be wondering what else you could do with your eight-hour workday. Or perhaps you only care to read what Mr. Bile has to say about the merits of different types of dice. Or maybe you only check in for links to hot chicks with MySpace pages.

Again, understandable. Not everyone is into book reviews, movie criticism, over-analysis of television shows, porn, videogames, eclectic music recommendations, and reads blogs. The number of weird people out there clearly outnumber us mundanes.

So I had an idea. To the best of my knowledge, our readership at the moment is small and manageable. I was thinking of creating e-mail lists divided into various categories: movies, comics, board games, scooters, vacation, fall, etc. Those readers who don't care to browse through all the topics we cover would get a notice when, "Hey, someone finally wrote about football realism!"

Of course, this sort of thing won't be necessary for anyone reading this post, but I wanted to get some feedback on it. My long-term goal for the site is to gain contributors and readership, and I think this might be a good step towards increasing casual traffic. Let me know what you think, or if you have anything to say about the Burning Crusade, because I just don't feel like I'm running a real site without WoW:BC updates.
