I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. You did after all let me know when you deleted my other 2 posts in this thread for no good reason that I could see. My 3rd post also disappeared though so you have to understand if I am somewhat leery. judith brought up good points. "This site caters almost exclusively to creative people and by not compensating them for their work I feel you negate what you should be trying to nuture... that is professionalsm and higher standards with due compensation." I also agree with Cyberstretch "I would very much like to see this "Submission and Subscriber Agreement". And Penguinisto "I don't mind a bit that R'osity is a corporation (LLC, whatever), and that you're wanting to sell me things. OTOH, I find it an insult to the intelligence to see an attempt to spoon-feed the masses something that clearly is not." Early on someone directly asked how much this will cost. What are the subscription prices? Are they the same or less than the print magazine? One would expect less. "Up to the moment Poduct Reviews" can be tricky. Sure you won't have a merchant reviewing their own products (one would hope) but will these product reviews be about Renderosity Exclusives? If so, there is some serious conflict. The magazine is tied into the Store here. "New fresh content on a regular basis" Again, how does this work? Is it updated weekly? Monthly? Daily? How do the subscription prices relate? Do you pay a monthly fee for something that's twice or 4 times a month? "an online magazine gives us the chance to have interactive tutorials,...to have graphics show in layers so you could actually see a graphic being created" This could have been done just as well with a print magazine, a CD and the web-site. The disappointment for some is losing the actual physical creation. The physical magazine also lent more credibility to being 'published'. I don't assume that all that glitters is gold. As for the preview. it seems odd that only a chosen few will be able to look at it. How will you decide who gets to preview? It has been pointed out that many places give a sample issue. Will there be a 'light' version available for preview for those that don't get chosen? "the free items ... exclusive to the magazine for 90 days... 90 days after publication, the article reverts back to the author and he is free to post or resell" So everything that you pay a subscription for, if you wait 90 days, you can get for free? "Other mags pay for articles. Well, some do, some don't...And they inundate you with advertisements. " So will the magazine area be free of Renderosity banner ads and such?
