I wonder if they'll be able to fulfill the N-magazine subscription I paid for when I bought my ticket this year?

Traditionally when a magazine goes under, the publisher sends you the remaining number of issues of some other loosely-related magazine. But since Maker Media isn't a traditional magazine publisher I'm not sure what they can do in a similar vein.

Breaks my heart. I've been a subscriber since the beginning and I've got issue 1 sitting on the shelf just to my left.

I've got a list of things I want to make as a result of reading Make Magazine that would last me 5 lifetimes. If this is, indeed, the end, huge thanks to the entire crew at Maker Media (and the hundreds that contributed to Make Magazine over the years). You did what you did as well as it can be done.

Take a look at Hackspace magazine if you're feeling the loss.

From the article it seems like he is trying to keep the print magazine going as opposed to organizing maker faires.

“We’re trying to keep the servers running” Dougherty tells me. “I hope to be able to get control of the assets of the company and restart it. We’re not necessarily going to do everything we did in the past but I’m committed to keeping the print magazine going and the Maker Faire licensing program.”

The magazine website is still accepting new subscriptions:

I'd guess the print part was the downfall.

The Faires were licensed and should have been cash cows (I see local one is still selling tickets).

Whoa! That seems like a MUCH larger story!
