you were wondering how to get forum members tied in with the mag. why not have like an issue devoted to submissions from forum members? wouldn't that be the simplest way, or have you thought of that already? aside from writing articles, you could have people photo themselves in form/application sequences and send them in to use in other people's article submissions. they could if necessary even be anonymous photos so people on the board could see themselves and post on the board to tell people "hey that's me".
just a thought
