Hey,
I am a long time lurker here, but haven't posted in a long while. I don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I just thought I'd mention that the font on The Green Trapezoid makes it really difficult to read.
Otherwise, I like it.
All the best,
--BRB

Several different types of fonts are used. Can you be more specific? Is there a particular page (or pages)?
Unfortunately, my program had some sort of glitch yesterday. I've been trying to repair it with no luck. I may not be able to go in to perform edits.
Microsoft is the Anti-christ, I swear it! If I can't get to the bottom of the issue I may need to use a different program for the next issue.

Sadly, the appearance changed dramatically when I uploaded it to scribd. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot I can do about that. The images are transparent on the original. If you notice, some of the white-washed text boxes appear to have been altered as well.
Since I have some problems with the MS Publisher program I'm using, I can't even go in to alter the file to make it more suitable for scribd reading. I'm not sure why the format was altered, it seems to only affect the PDF's I've uploaded from Publisher files. It may have been a sign of the degradation of the program. It completely crashed on me yesterday, it gave me an option to run it in safe-mode to repair it, but each time I try to load it it crashes.
I'm still looking into the issue. I may have to upgrade and reinstall to fix the issues. It occurred after a Microsoft Update.

I just figured out what the problem is, the original Publisher file has become corrupt. The program is fine, its the file that's the problem.
Well, I guess we'll have to suffer through this issue until the next!
Your feedback and suggestions will make for a better issue next time around.
I'll keep the transparency issue in mind for next issue as well.
I've used several fonts, so just tell me which you find difficult to read.
For example, Venger's article uses 'Chiller', while Yrreiht's uses 'Times New Roman'.

I thought it was all very cool and appealling. Nice work CS, and also every contributor did a fine job expressing how the LHP manifests within their own reality. Also, having decided to become an asset to the CoC, I have been perusing lots of related media. In doing so I came across an old video by ego diaballus, now personally I think he is a cocky prick who needs someone to rearrange his snaggle tooth grill, but I have to give it to him. In his video about bringing something to the table, he was brilliant. Personality aside, I cannot deny his observations of a whole movement. The Green Trap is the platform by which each cultist and associate can sound off!! Do something, anything. Just contribute to this culture in some way shape or form, if you care about it at all. I have also seen, this outfit is not very well thought of over all, they say we dont do shit. That pissed me off and I see it as a challenge. Lets ALL step up as a unit and show them what we truly ARE made of. Some of us can write decent articles, some are artists, ALL of us can take 10 minutes every other day to promote this site as well as the GT on other forums and social networks, and most importantly get active here with each other. people are watching, and when they see a week of inactivity they laugh at VS as well as all of us. Thinking us dead. We can all do SOMETHING to make this a little better, what can you do?

Thanks. It will get better. I need some decent artwork to work with for the next issue. I'm running out of royalty-free images, and those submitted by cultists for the newsletter.
Not a bad idea to start working on your submissions for the next issue NOW.
A note on advertisements:
Keep in mind, that the Occult/LHP target market is extremely small. As such, most social networks have a bad taste in their mouth for the CoC because of past spamming campaigns by other users.
I've run into this myself. I make one mention of the CoC and the platform has a fit because some over-zealous cultist spammed the shit out of their site. I don't usually advertise on Social Networks, instead I promote the sites, zine, and social networking platforms on outlets such as Scoop It, Digg, Stumble Upon, Pintrist, Zimbio, Linkdin, Twitter, Scribd, Readdit, Daily Motion, Youtube, and my personal blogs (Wordpress, Tumblr, Blogspot).
They don't call me WhoraSahn for nuthin'
I try to be mindful of cult's stigma on social platforms, and just roll with it.
There's groups on Facebook, Paganspace, and a few other places. I started a thread on Yog-Sothoth but the admin deleted it, because he didn't like Venger (his account was banned there). So just be mindful not to spam the shit out of people with promotions. They find it annoying, and won't view the content.
