Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
Alright, folks! The first Issue of Bananas Quarterly is almost ready!

Due to the world economic situation, this first issue will be digital-format only, emailed to our paid subscribers. If we get enough interest and subscriptions, we hope to make the second issue a hard copy.

Please send your real name, email address, and forum username to BQSubscriptions@gmail.com - we will email you back the payment information if you need to send in a check, as well as our mailing address and relevant info (to protect privacy.)

We'll need your name and email address for starters, and if we do gain enough subscribers to go to print, we'll need your mailing address at that time as well. You may send it to us now though if you want so we have it on file.

A one-year subscription (4 issues) can be had for the low low price of $20.

YES, WE HAVE PAYPAL!!! To pay with PayPal, click here:

Also, please drop us a note here and update the thread so we can keep track of how many of you wish to subscribe!
:goteam:

Thank you to all our supporters and writers!

Just sent any email, but think it would be nice to get some more info out to everyone about this. Please let us know cost, what pertinent info is needed and how to send the money. I am truly looking forward to seeing this and know everyone else is as well. Hopefully this will develop into a hard copy quarterly as I am sure that is what everyone is really wanting...
Thanks to all those involved!!!! Your efforts are GREATLY appreciated...

Thanks for organizing the post and more importantly, the magazine, Lorax! And thanks to all the contributors, its greatly appreciated.

Paypal fees are approx 3% Bill, but don't worry about that, its included in the price.

I just subscribed and paid through your Pay Pal link, but it does not have a box to write comments (such as my e-mail address) so I edited my Pay Pal addresses and added one with my e-mail embedded in the shipping address. Can't wait to get it. Thanks, Jeff.

Just subscribed with paypal (I also will have it sent to a different e-mail address, paypal account is my wifes e-mail) I sent the info via e-mail. Can't wait to read it.

I just subscribed like everyone should. Sometimes a little extra push is all it takes to get the ball rolling.

Hey Bob, good one. I am with you. Let's rack up the head count and the extra $. Btw, I did it with my business partner, Francis Khor's card. He is also a member here.

Would it be possible (if the future magazines will be printed) to send these outside the US, so to e.g. Europe?
I'll get the payment done a.s.a.p.
Kind regards,
Remko.

I'm interested, I'll try to get payment in this weekend.

That was the original idea - I don't see why we shouldn't follow through on it!

Done , with Paypal.

Come on, folks! Let's get those subscription requests in!!

Bob 03-19-2009 03:23 PM

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
Just a thought, can someone (maybe a displaced Canadian?) Put together a post or stand out ad and somehow feature it so everyone browsing here has to see it? Possibly something that could be sent out to some other venues as well. Maybe Jarred would let the mag use the Aquarium forum space and have it up in flashing neon?.....Like I said ........ just first thoughts.

momoese 03-19-2009 05:17 PM

As soon as I have some funds in my Paypal I'll subscribe. Probably a few weeks from now.

Lorax - asked for payment details last week and sent my email address - not heard from you but no problem if you are busy etc.

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
I can't believe that out of over 4800 members that only a handful have signed up. I realize not everyone is active but surely there are more folks interested that this!?

Hey Brent, can't agree with you more. Sometime ago I posted a thread on Subscription Commitment in the Mag Contributor site as I was thinking about what would happen later. I am not posting the link cos it's meant only for the bunch of us.

It's real weird that with all the freebies we are getting on this site, there's so little support from the rest. :waving:

Maybe on the other hand we need an ad campaign of sort. Like a mass PM to ALL the members to give them a wake up call. It's still not too late. :ha:

Bananaman88 03-26-2009 11:52 AM

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
Maybe Lorax will chime in and tell us what she thinks. I think your mass PM idea has potential. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad at anyone or trying to pressure folks into doing it. I'm simply surprised there hasn't been more people to sign up, that's all. I realize the economic times aren't great right now. Maybe more will sign up eventually if Beth can do some "teaser" articles or a "teaser" version of the magazine.

Tog Tan 03-26-2009 12:04 PM

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
Brent, I just did a new Thread on The Mag Contributors site for our discussion. No, I don't think you are sore/mad, I guess it's the members' nature to read what really interests them and they may have not gotten wind of this mag happening. Let's see what happens.

stumpy4700 03-26-2009 03:56 PM

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
How many have signed up? Also just making sure mine went thru?

You're good, Stumpy. I'll do a tally later today on the current number of subscribers.

Is there an ad page somewhere I can point to from my website? Something really simple that gives a typical googler an idea what the quarterly is? I'm willing to devote 4 sq.in. of space on my home page to drive people to such a page.

lorax 03-26-2009 07:32 PM

Re: Subscribe to Bananas Quarterly!
 
I'm working on it, Richard. I hope to have a little animated gif for ad linkage use and a basic page with teaser articles by the end of the weekend, if not sooner.

Thanks, Beth! Maybe someone who'd be interested in advertising with us will see the teaser articles and that will push them over the edge to buys some add space.
