Don't want to be an asshole, but it would be really better to make just one thread where you put these things in. I really like them, but they become more and more in this subforum. ;)

Hmm... I am not sure how that would work. People would have to check whole thread to see if there are new issues? And each of those are different from eachother exept the design, how can those be commented on together in one thread (exept for design comments)? Excuse me, but i dont understand the point. Explain your reasons please  ::)

Just update your first post and include the new issue  there (it's been on other topics aswell). People can still discuss the new issues when you make a new post like "(image here)- new issue of Exit Reporters - also updated the first post" or something like that. This is not meant to bully you or anyone else, just not that we have #2852918 topics with the "same" content around here.

Quality stuff. From a personal point of view though, it's too bad you mainly focus on TC stuff. But keep issues coming :P

I dont agree, like i say its not the same content, every one is diffrent topic more or less. I look over Fan Art forum and i see last post before next page is made 13 January... And its not like i post those everyday. It would also break the immersion that i am so hard try to achive with New News, blending them with old ones would make a design showcase rather then news. Sorry mate, i dont like the idea simply.  :-\

Yes, the problem is not much other things seem to be going on lately since the "dissapearence of WWP" (which has made it return just yersterday acually). When the projects get going more options there will be.

It doesn't matter if it you like it or not, it simply clutters the forum. So - open a collection thread next time or I'll just move/merge it in one.
BTW - many other things "break the immersion" aswell - this is a forum and not ingame - we don't have a roleplaying subforum here as well.

Btw it's called "When everybody else is left dead."

I see, sorry that you feel that way. This is not a work for me however, i am doing this for fun, and hopefully for fun of others, and so the Exit Reporters are willing to negotiate: A solution i see from this situation would be that I post Exit Reporters only when first page of Fan Art is "clean" from old Exit Reporters, would that be okey for you? (that way i would keep my "immersion" and there would be no "clutters" as you called it.)

Btw it's called "When everybody else is left dead."

Hmm... I am not really sure about that. Acually i think that both are right, they just have a little different meaning. When everybody else are left dead ... (Behind). It is ment to be plural form, "Is" does not fit in there. They "are" left behind, not They "is" left behind. "Is" would work if meaning was different. But yeah, i am not native English speaker so i might be wrong.

Every part of the Exit Reporters is an independent piece of art written and designed by kttdestroyer and has the same right to be posted one at a time in a new thread like the other fan artists do with their works.
If he should do a collection thread about his work then everyone should. Its not like you see 5 threads of exit reporters on one forum page.

kttdestroyer, why don't you just post the stuff in this thread and edit the first page when there is an update? I don't understand what the big deal is in here now.

That's what I was saying aswell, but appently it "breaks the immersion".

Not sure it will work good. The thing is, how will people know that there is new issue out? They can see that i post message, but it is not nessecery a new issue, and if i do post a new issue someone else post comment on it, how will others then know its not comment on old issue but a new one (They can look on the post name, will they remember the old name?)? The thing is, that the news must be delivered on time, some news read 1 week later doesint make sense at all. The diffrence between "art" and "news" is that, artist makes a gallery, news is only some fact based short story... And how will i know which story worked and which didint (feedback / "which issue is this comment for??")?

Well, i guess i can give it a try. But, i am sceptical about this.

Well that just ruins the ENTIRE idea behind a periodical , such as a newspaper, or a digital newspaper based around some mmo. Don't do it KTT.

I suggest a compromise. Two Topics. First one is where he posts the new ones, second one is the archive of the News posted before. It could work like this:

1. Topic --> The Exit Reporters #8 (new one) --> edit post and write new one in here, edit topic name too of course
                  The Exit Reporters #7 (the one before that obv ;)) --> delete and move (c/p) to
2. Topic (archive)
                  The Exit Reporters #7 (copy paste from the first topic) --> new post in archive topic
                  The Exit Reporters #6
                  The Exit Reporters #5
                                ....
This way, at least, you would have one sticky news topic and because of the second one (archive) there don't have to be new topics for each News Thread.

I like The Exit Reporters a lot, but I don't understand why any fan art post should be sticky. Okay, I understand that some pieces of fan art are cooler than other
 (Cryofluid's work are an obvious example), but why make them sticky?

Maybe I used the wrong word for what i was trying to explain. I didn't mean the "stickyness" itself. Its about that the first topic is on top again after it was edited with a new release of the Exit Reporters.

Well, it will still lead to the same problem. That two diffrent issues will be on the same page and comments will be from all of the issues mixed together. The old replys of people will be then offtopic, becouse like i say, each issue is on diffrent subject from another, only design is more or less the same (even though i still change it each time to make each design a bit uniqe).

And now that i posted this reply, how many people though that there was a new issue out? If they now think that and come here, and they see that there is no new issue, will they come again next time they see i made a reply?

True that but you don't post a new issue every two days for example. So...most replies will be done when you come around with a new one i guess.

And now that i posted this reply, how many people though that there was a new issue out? If they now think that and come here, and they see that there is no new issue, will they come again next time they see i made a reply?

If you edit the Topic subject #1 to a new number it will be seen by others that it's a new one i think.

I understand your thoughts. In my opinion the best solution would be to let you do a new post for each "News - subject" and some moderator merges the older ones into one archive-topic from time to time but i dont think that someone wants to do this job ;). Personally i also don't have a problem that there's a new topic each time you post a new subject but on the other hand i can understand the mods too. If you'd be the only one posting here that wouldn't be a problem but this isn't the case of course. I think they just try to keep the subforum as neat as possible.
