What was the old Linux magazine, and why did these guys leave?

Linux Format. "Top-down meddling" was cited in this story: http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/future-staff-fed-top-down-medd...
(I used to freelance for Future years ago, and the standing joke was that, at the time, all their magazines were "something-or-other Format". When they launched a cross-stitch magazine, we were greatly disappointed it wasn't called Cross-Stitch Format.)
Oh my! Please tell me the entire magazine was actually made of Cross-Stitched pages!!! I would so like a copy. Frame a few of the good ones, use the rest as table-mats and coasters :)
The old magazine was Linux Format. We left because we were prevented from making the magazine as good as it could be by layers of management that didn't understand (or care about) Linux or our target audience.
