Here's what I see... Judging by the postcard, the use of the name, and the artwork, Nic and Brooke bought the rights, art and mailing list from Kevin. I can only assume that means that Kevin got paid for this.

If Nic and Brooke wanted to start a magazine about gamerooms, they could have done that. By buying the name and rights they obviously wanted some sort of recognition and history. Well, along with that comes the bad part of that history of what happened to a *LOT* of subscribers when we got left hanging.

So, while I get where John is coming from, it was "water under the bridge" until this happened. Just because it's new owners, they don't get a pass. They knew the situation in which it ended and had to know there were a ton of people that were left hanging. If they didn't want to deal with it, they should have started a new magazine from scratch.

I was left with about a year left. There are some very realistic things they could do to fix it. If they don't do something like "Subscribe to a year and we'll add your remaining time to your subscription", I suspect most of us won't subscribe. I'm realistic enough to understand that they can't just restart and say "hey, 90% of our subscribe base is now free". But, they need to be realistic enough to understand that they bought history (good and bad).
