In the olden days, there was generally a list of the moderators at the bottom of the page. Your site, you make the rules. However, one could debate a pulled post with a mod listed on the site. I can no longer see a list of the mods. From my point of view, I was pointing out that the speciality interest magazine business is in trouble in all fields. Perhaps it was pulled because I pointed to the HAMB as one of the reasons car magazines are going down the tube. No blame there, just a fact of life.
Check your conversations...usually one is sent by the moderator who deleted it. I don't see that one of your threads/posts was deleted...can you send a link or give more info? There are at least 2 active R&C threads...
Denis,,it's still there...HRP The thread....http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/threads/rip-rod-custom-magazine.926222/page-17#post-10541669 I've been a student of the special interest magazine business for longer than I care to admit. My wife is a quilter and she received notice this week that her favorite magazine is closing shop. This particular publisher is not unlike PrimeMedia or TEN with plenty of ***les that overlap coverage on a hobby. Like others here, she will get an extension with a magazine she doesn't particularly want. In my opinion, R&C is just the first of countless books in many special interest fields that will fall by the wayside as newstand/subscription sales drop like rock. I do take umbrage with the many posts here bashing the suits and referring to "corporate greed"; the print business is circling the drain due to the fact that you can get instant results here on the HAMB without spending a dime.
