Heya folks! I had another good idea (that's right, another one) :p.
First of all, I read these threads- It's all players asking if there's a way that people, other than studio presidents, can do mass mailing. IE- secretaries, pimps to bitches, that sort of thing. Here they are, if you feel like reading them.

So, it seems like Spam is the big concern, and a bunch of assholes are ruining it for the rest of us...
Studio Bulletin Boards! Sort of like the Newspaper, or Confessions, but only studio members can read/post on them. There'd be a character limit, and a finite number of posts per board, say 3-20. It seems like it'd be self-policing, because spammers and assholes would get kicked out of their respective studios, pretty quickly.
Maybe studios would have to buy/upgrade their boards, the same way they buy licenses to add new members. If a studio has to pay 250k for a 3-post board, it seems like the president/secretary would have a direct interest in making sure it's used correctly. Or maybe someone would have to trade VIP packs/days for said bulletin board?
Or, maybe it could just be free to all studios? :D
It'd be a really cool way for studio members to talk to one another and make annoucements. And I'm guessing/hoping it wouldn't eat up tons of resources, or be abused too badly.
