Newsweek feature asked: "Their magazines are full of user-generated content, but will people pay for it?"

I guess not?

I'm also kind of bummed out by this news. These guys were paying ZERO for their content and they still couldn't make it work.

Also, I agree that there's something odd about them not just going web-only + a pay fee for super users. How many people do you need to run that site? 3?

Not true. They offered a bounty of $100 and a free subscription for photos and stories selected to be run in the print edition.
