Quite true. I didn't even know cragx had such an active forum, but I also had problems with registering and logging on (Chockstone is difinately the most user-friendly and informative of the forums that I've used).

Also an e-zine needs to be printable - it's not always possible or desirable to spend heaps of time at a computer browsing around the pages.

I actually just wrote a lengthy email to Megan at 'Rock' prompted because I thought the last issue was so poor (and most of them really). I contributed to Rock once and was a bit dissappointed that my text was 'Rockified' and some of my reject photos (one was dark/grainy) were selected over really nice ones. I was perplexed!
