is your favorite print magazine in financial trouble ?!?!?!

You scared the shat outta me I thought "Hustler" was going out!

What??? I might lose Gun Dog??? And like Trent said, Streetsource is the answer! This place would blow up!

---------------------------------------------Originally posted by laynwindowsi personally wouldnt care if mini truckin got the ax, that magazine has been garbage for a few years now. i know they gotta pay for shit, but too many ads, people know where they can get stuff, i dont need or want to see an ad on every other page, i just wanna see some cool trucks, i'd pay more per issue if it had cool shit in it

---------------------------------------------Everyone said that about Tailgate too, so they went to no ads, and it failed in a few issues.  Ads are apart of every proffitable magazine.

well this may have been said a million times so here goes a million and one.support the mags you love.subscribe or go buy of the newstand monthly.quit comin on forums wanting people to post the mag in here or other forums.peoples jobs depend on it.a subscription MT is cheap.the internet is ruining tons of businesses.lets start supporting them again

Like Jeff and everyone has said before, support your favorite magazines.  If you like a magazine, dont just sit there at the grocery and look through it to see whats out, BUY it, or get a subscription for about the price of a couple lunches. Obviously, the nearly $2bil in debt Source acquired over the past few years is going to hurt, I doubt theyre going away, just trying to get money more in their favor, but that most likely means they will start cutting titles as they have been cutting everything else. Next time youre buying that compressor or set of wheels, think about the companies that advertise and support the magazines and try to purchase from them and mention the magazine title. Ads are necessary and we try to best balance out the ad to edit ratio so that the ads dont overpower the content, but its needed to cover the costs of the actual printing each month. Best we can do in this is support eachother as its all a big circle so when the economy turns around (it always has), the companies/mags have survived.

I sure hope this doesn't happen I juz re-newed....

So it looks like if youhave stock in Source Interlink you loose all your money? am i hearing that right? i don't have any stock but that sounds bad..

I want to know how they can just ditch 1BILLION in DEBT - Sure wish i could do this..Let the magazines go under - All they do is waste paper anyways. I will hug your tree for a dollar.

look at the turn around ssm has made.its because we support and buy yearlys from them.whats gonna happen if MT goes away.We will have a very limited source for our minis.yes i know sport truck and streettrucks will run features but what about the trucks we build for cover.i have a subsription to many mags and i do buy ones off the shelf.

Mini Truckin is hurting for cash soo bad they can't afford to put bagged or body dropped trucks on the cover!
