+El Diablo Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'm toying with the idea of reviving Today's Cacher online magazine. It probably won't be as grand as the last one. This one will be a little more fun and laid back for the staff. So I'm kind of testing the waters here to see the interest and the support we might expect. I need people to volunteer to help. I need writers, a webmaster, editors...etc. The magazine will focus on articles from cachers around the world. If you would like to see this brought back, let us know. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+TheAlabamaRambler Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I wouldn't think a print magazine would be so hot of an idea. I would pay for a subscription and contribute content to an online one, and do whatever I could to help you get Today's Cacher back up and running - I liked it! Quote Link to comment

There would be no cash paid subscriptions. Just pay by helping. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+egami Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I think it's a good idea...any intent to also incorporate Waymarking and other GPS related topics or just mainly geocaching-centric? Best wishes with it if you move forward. Quote Link to comment

Best wishes with it if you move forward. It would be mainly geocaching-centric, since that's where the main interest of the readers focus. However Waymarking or any GPS related topic would be welcomed and of interest to readers. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
Neos2 Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I always liked the mag. I made one submission that made it to the mag (about a cache I liked). If I thought of another article, I would contribute again. Quote Link to comment
+simpjkee Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I've seen a lot of these magazine posts and I guess my feeling is this. If I could pay for a subscription and have it arrive at my door, I would do it and take a look at the mag when it arrives and beyond. For some reason, if it was an online thing and I got an e-mail notification saying it was new, etc. I would prolly just delete the e-mail and never look at it. I think it is because, if I'm on the net, I'm on the board or doing logs or browsing the site in general or looking at something else on the web. It's the times when I'm not on the web that I would sit back and notice a "geocaching magazine" and pick it up and take a look. I'm not sure why. Thats just how it is with me. Quote Link to comment
+Bad_CRC Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'd read it online. Might contribute an article or two if the format seemed friendly enough towards such things. Quote Link to comment
WeRLegend Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would love to help out in any way I can. Danny Quote Link to comment

It's the times when I'm not on the web that I would sit back and notice a "geocaching magazine" and pick it up and take a look. I'm not sure why. Thats just how it is with me. I have to agree. I like to sit in the comfy recliner with a nice cup of coffee and read a stack of magazines when I get the chance. Sometimes I have about 6 or 7 to go through, but if I have 2 hours with no kids or husband, it's a great way to relax. When I am online, I have so many other things to do (email, check cache listings, NEPAG, online classes for continuing ed recertification, etc.) that I don't really want to sit and read lengthy articles. Not to say I wouldn't look at an online caching magazine, but I wouldn't feel super-enthusiastic about it either. Quote Link to comment

+nittany dave Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I'd like to see it come back. I liked the online version and would try to contribute or talk other more creative writers into it! Keep it light and fun for the readers too! Quote Link to comment

+BigDaddyD Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I still have the site on my bookmarks list and check it out every now and then to see if it has been updated. I would enjoy reading the online version again. Quote Link to comment
+carolnbarney Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Sounds good, but there "is" something to having it in your hot little hand to look at it. Recliner's not the only good reading spot, either. Quote Link to comment
+El Diablo Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 Thanks for all the offers to help. I'll contact each of you soon and we'll see what we can put together. El Diablo Quote Link to comment
+ZSandmann Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 ElD I'd love to see it come back, I still have the two print copies and show them off at events. I would even try my hardest to submit something once and a while. Quote Link to comment

+Jennifer&Dean Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Didn't another magazine just get it's start? Has anyone heard anything about that one? I remember Today's Cacher as decent to read online but always a source of arguments and angst here in the forums. Do you really have the time and energy to start it up again? The commitment to take a magazine on and run it again for years and years and years? The energy to work with all the crazies (I mean geocachers) who will be submitting stuff to you and your group of volunteers? I always meant to submit something but life kept getting in the way. -J Quote Link to comment

Do I have the time and energy? Yes. If I can find a good webmaster I'll be off to the races. El Diablo Quote Link to comment

+c&s 143 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I would be willing to help. I am still pretty new to caching (just started after Christmas) but I feel I have learned a lot and am willing to help in any way I can. Craig C&S 143 Quote Link to comment
