  1. Ace I totally agree. Going to electronic format would help get the magazine back on track. A while back Gregg said it cost $10k to print and mail the magazine(with recent costs going up no doubt more). With the new subscription rate that means there has to be 333 new subscribers to print 1 issue(not the way to run a magazine.). I doubt that there are many advertisers with the current status so there is little support from that. Even without printing the magazine cutting the number of issues to 3 or 4 a year would be less of a burden on Gregg and help get things back on track. As far as paying for the site it has to be something more than what we get now. Most are not going to pay for something that's always been free.
  2. I am curious what changes you are making to the engine. I have a couple in my stash for someday projects.
  3. I understand the issues that Gregg has faced. The increase rates is understandable but I see it as a moot point. Sorry just don't see that many new subscriptions happening. What needs to happen is to reduce the number of issues to say four a year. It would take some stress off of Gregg and also be a more realistic expectation at this point. If that goal can be reached in this year then people will be more willing to subscribe. Charging for access to forum is a good idea however something has to be done for those who contribute. Those that contribute meaningful information are what is going to get users to subscribe.
  4. Actually there were 2 issues in 2017 and one in 2018.

  18. Went to cook dinner. Turned oven on to preheat and hear a loud buzzing sound. Look at oven and heating element was self destructing. Just looked and it will require a new element and not a new oven. Happy that it didn't start a fire.
