Tony Crowe Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I actually like the digital version, but would like the printed copy also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Dan Dawkins Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Maybe they will bring back Swift Montana Smith and his humorous anecdotes. I particularly enjoyed his last tale of adventure, intrigue, and suspense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warden Callaway Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I've often paged through the printed and later the digital version and couldn't understand why they couldn't be printed and distributed for free and still make a profit - given they are predominantly advertising.

Wrangler Rich SASS #42157 Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 I have always thought the Printed Word was more profitable due to advertisers than the electronic version. Waiting patiently for my next copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 I've talked to some that have been SASS members for a long time that dropped their membership because of the loss of the printed CC. They felt it a significant part of their membership value. They have very little PC skills and not willing to try. I interface with the Internet with an Android pad. The older digital version didn't work well on it. The newest one works much better but still slow to navigate and difficult to read. We have a desktop Windows PC with large monitor that is set up to do video editing. I suppose it would display the CC in the best possible condition. But I just don't go fire it up to read the CC.

Attica Jack #23953 Posted June 26, 2015 Share Posted June 26, 2015 It is about time. As it stands now, we SASS members don't get much for our buck. Annual dues $45.00 and you pay $5.00 to shoot in a SASS event, and SASS donates a $30.00 gift certificate. WOW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Angus McPherson Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Glad to hear it. I used to enjoy reading it. I never have seen the online version. Angus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyesa Horg Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Wayyyy Good--- I've missed reading it. Just don't feel like staring at the PC after working all day. Miss picking it up at leisure while sitting on the coach. GREAT NEWS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess Money Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Great! I use them as promotional material. Leave one in the waiting room every Dr. visit. I used to take mine to the local Library.

Chili Ron Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Howdy, I intend to let sellers know when I buy stuff, that I saw their ad in the CC. WE NEED TO GIVE THIS kind of feedback to advertisers. Best CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Curly SASS#57086 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I use the advertising companies as much as possible in the Chronical. I also prefer the printed version over the electronic copy. A quarterly issue makes sense as well. Not a fan of the "comics" as they just seemed to be filler to me, just my view. I read the Chronicle every month but read the printed version as soon as I received it but not the electronic issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch McGie, SASS#71758 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 the cartoons can go, but I miss the articles and the calendar of events at the end. I know the world is going digital, but I get a crick in my neck from spending more than a few minutes on the screen. So i quit the digital version after one or two.

Bad Jeemes Kelly Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Good idea. The paper chronicle is what got me interested in SASS. I've never read the online version. That's the word. Going to be some happy campers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Floyd Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 I have never received the paper copy as I only joined last year. I enjoy the digital version. I did finally see and read an older version CC in paper. I prefer the digital. Much easier to click on the links to the vendors, than having to put down the paper, go find the computer turn it on and then go back to the paper and then type the address in the computer. The digital version I can enlarge the font for these old eyes and make the reading easier. But that's just me. S, Floyd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rye Miles #13621 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 Misty confirmed it during the EOT opening ceremonies. There will still be an online chronical, but there will also be a glossy magazine style chronical coming out quarterly, This really is good news, and got the biggest cheers at the ceremony Did she happen to say when it's coming out???

Mad Dog McGee Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Did she happen to say when it's coming out??? Can't Wait ! Hope it looks as good as the old Shoot Magazines. Thanks to all that had a part in bringing back the printed CC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Willy Dunkum, SASS # 61027 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Love the idea of a quarterly issue. I've looked online a couple of times or so but in the last year, none. I still have some old back issues I look at occasionally but this new idea is very refreshing. I look forward to it. Rev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krazy Kajun Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Here's a thing I don't like: Sitting down in the cool evening by the fireplace, with a glass of bourbon, and looking at an elektronic device. Paper rules! Also gives me material to start subsequent cool evening fires when I'm done. Can't do that with an Ipad. Yep Utah Bob....them little Ipad suckers are hard to get lit :lol: I use my electronics a lot and don't have a problem reading the electronic version of the Chronicle.....still don't care at all for the comics. However there just something organic about having a printed version of the Chronicle to read, I do enjoy reading the printed version more than the electronic. So Misty, thanks so much for bringing back a printed version and quarterly is just fine. But please no comics in the printed version.

Three Foot Johnson Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 I don't believe I've ever read the online version... had to have been quite a hit for advertisers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
