Being an avid magazine buyer I certainly would buy it, now only if it was real, I prefer printed magazines to anything online and I don't even know if Wincstuomzei magazine is still published, I don't read any email on the account that stardock sends emaiuls to.

That was kind of my point. I think there is real viability in the US market for a magazine like this. There are no real alternatives, so it is an instant self-made niche. Who can compete? Seems natural, and you have the opportunity for all sorts of advertising inside the mag, and counter advertising on this site for subscriptions etc... the content would be excellent as evidenced by the authors contributing here, and you even have tons of interactive content you can edit for magazine interest on specific points. This is a sure sell... time to find a publisher I think.

Yes! Here's a solid customer. 
I mentioned another magazine before, don't know if it was appropriate or not , but its format seems to be more-oriented toward a bit of fun and tongue-in-cheek content than others, although also quite informative and technically rewarding at times. Makes this subscriber feel more 'part of' than others,as does WC I, too, think the timing and niche are perfect. Looking forward to the development and, ultimately, the first shiny copy in plastic, with the optional CD, sticking out of my mailbox and at the local checkout stands! Amazing idea! Wonder if ad-content pays for a greater percentage of o'head...or subscriptions, 'checkstand-compulsivenes', or what...

Sembetu.....I'd most certainly be interested in such a magazine, but I'm not a part of the U.S. market and wonder about distribution in Australia, should it come to fruition. If it could be distributed here at a comparable price to local productions that'd be great, and if I ever missed an issue, I could always raid the magazine rack in jafo's dunny to catch up.

Well, there's the million dollar catch isn't it...?! I pay $15.99 US for magazines now that cost about £5.99 GBP. I don't know how the conversion works out going to Australia, but I imagine a U.S printing would go for a similar conversion of shipped. One way to avoid this would be to digitally distribute it to a print house in Australia and have it printed domestically there. I wish some of the Brit Rags would do that here.

Not quite sure what a 'facist' is....perhaps someone who has a 'face'?.
Now 'fascist'....that makes a wee bit more 'sense' though quite off the mark.
The options are...
1. Comment appropriately.
2. Comment inappropriately and be subjected to alteration/deletion.
3. Do not comment.
It's not 'fascism' it's the authority of a Private site's administrators to determine what is, or is not appropriate....
