WhatBoysWant the Magazine.

I have nothing worthwhile to add,other than to say that I'd buy it. It'd be something fun to expand the WBW community even further and get some insights into people's ideas on topics other than porn (though we all love that topic as well)

and hell, you spend $7 on lunch these days, why not make yourself peanut butter and jelly for one day and support our community? It's worth it!

Nah I agree with both of you of not wanting to give control to another company, but I mean just get some small online business's to pay into the magazine to advertise their product, I'm sure there are tons of products people would want to sell in the magazine, take for example like "the Flesh Light" or whatever, get what i'm saying? iuno, just a thought.

Well plain old advertisement would come in much later when we actually have an install base. They aren't going offer us anything if we don't have an install base worth noticing.

Not true, I know of a few people that "push" products into the market by going after the "any means advertising" it's a strategy based on, more advertisement is better then none. IN FACT I think I could get a list of companies that might want to do it. Only if you are interested I guess.

Decent idea, but take a hint from the success of the radio show, about 2 or 3 people listened. It's not worth your time, I apologize for being blunt, but it's the truth.

It'd be more helpful if it actually made any sense. Are you saying there is no market for sucha magazine?

An online magazine could be interesting. Maybe we could have memeber interviews and debates? Who knows. Member profile and interviews would be mildly interesting.

It's not about WBW. Its about WHAT BOYS WANT. Games, girls, gadgets, all that stuff, not the people who inhabit WBW or what they are doing.

There is a market obviously. But it's VERY saturated. What would make someone go for a different magazine if they could have a better one in color for cheaper. It's just tough to break into this market, it's pretty matured.

We'll come to it when we find out if the project can be greenlit. Remember this is all just discussion so far.

I know, but the biggest and best way to get something off the ground is to have a no holds bars brainstorm. Get all ideas you can, all feedback, all offers, everything you can. Then if you push hard enough anything can happen. Unless you're j0lly.

Because we are aiming for a well rounded magazine that contains something of everything. Ever notice how much the average magazine is full of fluff? I'm talking about the useless pages of text that goes relatively unread? If we merge the best content we can into one product which sounds like a better deal? Three or Four magazines that is half ads, a quarter fluff, and costs $5 a piece. Or a well rounded magazine that contains good content all around with less advertisement for $8?

We already have a potiential market here.

What would make them go for a different magazine is if it was more on what was real life)something they could actually get) girls gadgets guides ect. I understand its not all about porn but if you can compensate many of the well like magazines into 1 magazine I feel there would be a liking to it. I also understand that it would take alot to get it to that point.

Kanzen pretty much got to it before me

Well the second biggest problem for magazine developers is coming up with interesting content and enough of it to fill an entire magazine. They use a lot of time to create fluff and filler. The biggest problem they have is actual manufacturing with major time limits of usually 3 weeks of time to work with. We on the other hand would have two and a half months.

The thing is they only have a certain amount of people to work with to get the stuff in within 2-3 weeks and here we have everyone willing to comment to help with ideas and such. Having the site first is a great benefit but on the other hand, with the added advertisement for the site, it would also bring some of the assholes and jerks of the online community here.

youve got generally good ideas but youre not looking at the big logical picture it seems :P you want us to have over 400,000 members help us put together a magazine in 2-3 weeks? yeah that sounds organized. and im sure it would all be intelligent shit to sort through too

Oops, the troll alert went off. Gotta get rid of it of the infestation.

i'm not saying put it all in a submit it here style thing. something more like the forum where its organized. but i'll shut up now cause everything i've said gets shot down

yeah im sure kanzen feels the same poor kanzens having to defend every scrap of the idea


we're not shooting anyone down, people are just stating opinions and being realistic and questioning ideas and comments

its how we talk to each other in the office, we dont baby each other along about the shit.. whats the point in that. youd never get anything really constructive worked out or talked about that way :P
