That way members can download, print out spreads that they like (hot girls smoking hookah), or whatever else you want. Keep your input coming, we want this to be as much yours as it is ours. Your opinions really do matter. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First issue is going to be available within the first week of March. I'll give you the official date in a day or two. The first issue is going to be a little smaller then usual because we are short on money but as we get more sponsors and more regulars, it will continue to grow with us. But, it is turning out very nice so far and I think you guys will enjoy it, not to mention we are going to make it FREE for as long as we can (if we get enough advertisement)!!!

Chris@BlueElephant Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 The website is now up and running but the first issue wont be available until a few more days (the 2nd). Pimp it. We will also be creating a street team in the next few weeks, so if you are interested, make sure to sign up for our mailing list under "contact" to receive more info about that.www.blueelephanthookah.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinkyfisherman Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 thats sweet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris@BlueElephant Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Yeah, I haven't mentioned the first issue yet because we had some technical problems and there were a few pages missing (the actual ratings for battle of the brands, heh). So, check back in a day or two and we should have most everything running properly. Stick with us guys, we're improving the site and magazine everyday. And again, if you have any suggestions or want to contribute, just email me or anyone else from the magazine, we're always open to hear your opinions. Glad you enjoy it.

SimplexCoda Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 So I do have a question, I dont know if it has already been asked cause i didnt read every response, but are we going to eventually be able to get this magaizine in print and subscribe to have it delivered to our door and such and what not, because I kind of perferre mags that way.

Chris@BlueElephant Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Wont be in print unless its a huge success and we get enough money to pay the overhead fees. However, we will make it available to download in PDF form so you can have a hard copy. Eventually, we would like to move it to print, but just don't have the resources to do so at this time.

SimplexCoda Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Sad times, but at least it will be available in PDF form. IS this going to be extra costs or avail. for the regular subscription prices? Also when can we start subscribing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also when can we start subscribing?Well, we talked it over and we are going to try and keep it free for as long as possible. We are in talks with some major shisha tobacco companies about advertising, as well as some online wholesalers, so if that goes through we might be able to keep it a free service. If not, PDF files would be available only to subscribers, as would the majority of content in the magazine. But for now, enjoy the magazine FREE OF CHARGE!!!

RayVer Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Overall I think the magazine is great. My only complaint is some of the pages are a bit harder to read because of the vibrant backgrounds. I'm sure this is something you guys will correct as you go on (after all its only been 1 issue)So far its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlesterphx Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hey guys,We're having trouble choosing a website design!Take a look at these two sites and give us some opinions:http://www.blueelephanthookah.com (The original website, what's up now)http://www.blueelephanthookah.com/corfro/ (A proposed new website)Thanks a lot!

mitchell8621 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Number 2 is much faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel510 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Ya I think the design and layout of number 2 is better. But I think you could also take same elements like the music and background from the original website and utilize it in the second version. But ya, I'm not a big fan of the current "box" setup with various tabs. I like the second layout much better not to mention it loads much more quickly.

yeshua_cxc Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I like the looks of the original site but I think the second site is more user friendly especially for those of us with slower connections. So I would rather have the second site. I'd rather have a pretty good site that works really well over a really great site that is more difficult to use.

iamscott06 Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Yea the second site seems to load much faster. Im really liking it. I love the ad you have on the side "Take Our Survey, Recieve a Free 'Thank You'" thats pretty funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rlesterphx Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 Thanks for the feedback.Check out the redesigned site:http://www.blueelephanthookah.comWe also have the PDF version available now for everyone who wanted it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
