If the forum and the magazine are going to be separate entities will the Facebook page become the point for communications about the magazine?

Congratulations to Model Cars Magazine and Model Car Makers forum, and all of those involved with both.

Best wishes to the magazine and the forum.  A while back when we were asked about recommending changes to the forum, I suggested a category on promotional model cars and trucks.  I hope that will come to fruition now.

Evolve or perish, good news that we'll be able to share this hobby well into the future!

Will the new site be a paid subscription only site? Will MCM have its own forum?

Also curious about pricing for the new site (I assume there will be a paid tier…)

Guess we’ll see!

I am OK with the advertising.  Yes, I agree it might be annoying to some, but one needs to look at the wider picture.

If it pays for the running of the site to enable  free access to all, I can live with the very minor irritstion.

Tiered subscriptions would only create an Us and Them situation depending on the depth of one's wallet.

Yeah, it will be interesting to see what return value the paid tier access has to offer.

We do have some ideas we think will add value for paid members, and not just getting rid of the ads. Some have been asked about for a long time and some you may be surprised at. Suffice to say, Dave is pretty busy behind the scenes and there are ongoing discussions

Does this mean you might implement selling on the forum? Gregg never allowed it because it conflicted with his website for selling models. That is loooong defunct and we have a great community here. That and eBay is just a nightmare of fees and villains. It would be a welcome addition from my POV.
