Dont worry, it is my 'job' to be a grammar nazi. As long as I can understand what it says I can correct it for you. Also, use MsWord with the spellcheck set to English, helps A LOT

Thats it! I knew I missed something. Merci beacoup NicoBBQ!

As from now I am pulling myself back from this project. No not hoping to create e-drama out of this and I'm not expecting anyone giving something about it. My reasons are s following:
-There is an overall lack of interest and motivation,
-I am unsure if having this magazine would actually contribute something to the clan
-I an unsure if people would even bother reading it in the first place
-This project would take away too much of my spare time; guiding, sketching, illustrating, spell-checking, giving critisism to people who cant handle it and the biggest time consumer of al, putting it all together into something proper looking.

Feel free to continue with someone else and if you want your 5 minutes back for reading this then set back your clock.

[Nicobbq]

I WANT MY 5 MINS BACK!!!! Even though it took me 10 secs to read.

There would be no lack of motivation if the interviews contain certain tactics or tips from progamers or very skilled people... Readers would actually read the magazines. Put some funny stuff in it like picture of the week, which should be funny so you can attract more readers. If this magazine is monthly, put a (mini) guide in every edition for classes. Also put some stuff about other stuff like very important news (earthquake has done this and this here) maybe even a donation thing for poor people.
Imagine or think about what you would like to see in a magazine and ask for other people's opinions, you'll surely get more and more readers.

I think I can write em' too but I'm too lazy to make them. I'd rather play TF2 or explain stuff while playing
