That is a bummer..
Only just paid for my subscription as well........
Oh well, at least the 1 mag that was sent to me had the bit about the ESC - hence why I found you!

As I understand it the Name Change was due to possible copyright issues and has nothing to do with this decision
I may of course be wrong
Its a shame if its the last we see of this Mag

This is a major shame, mag was great, saves having to plough through pages of skylines and 200sx's just to get to the scoobs in banzai etc...
Don't feel too disheartened fellas the mag was good while it lasted

two great people, eight great issues, one great shame!!
I hope that the reason they decided to call it a day wasn't due to the general **** comments they received from idiots on scoobynet. I saw some nasty stuff written about ScoobyMag, all of it mis-informed and complete bollocks, and it was totally undeserved.
If it was a case of funding then the only shame was that they didn't appeal for some sort of sponsorship because I'm sure a number of people, myself included, would have been willing to see if we could have helped out.
Jon and Dee helped me out on a number of occasions with personal requests and I can't think of two nicer natured people - despite the stress they must have been under.
Reading the posts in general I'd just like to add that some people are so two faced it's unbelievable!
Best of luck to you both!

FFS Gangsta I can't argue with your post !!!!!
I nearly did mind, but then realised you were refering to the posts in "General" rather than here

All,
I ripped this off the 'scoobymag' thread on the main boards.
It is an explaination from Andy F.
"Not sure what exactly is public at the moment so I'll say I heard this through a 3rd party and have no idea if it is factual (keeping myself out of trouble !)
I beleve this is what happened to S/mag.
Firstly, a contributor of a technical article falsely claimed it to be his own work. The issue was printed and almost out to distribution before JMB were made aware that the particular article didn't actualy belong to the contributor and it had been copied from another publication.
Attempts were made to buy the article from the real owner but the offer was declined.
This resulted in the loss of a complete issue printed run.
Shortly afterwards Hannah Barbera, the owners of Scooby-Doo allegedly raised a legal action prohibiting the use of the name "scooby" in the title of the publication.
The actual name of the mag was Scooby Magazine. Scoobymag as one word would have been ok but not "Scooby" on its own apparently.
Another issue was printed, ready for distribution at this point but it was illegal to actually issue it.
A new business will always have limited cash for contingencies. If they get hit by two big 'show stoppers' on the trot it can be hard to overcome.
I can only guess at the cost of these two most unfortunate issues.
I can assure you these guys put a hell of an effort into this and certainly are not swaning around in company cars spending your subscription money.
I do know Jon had plans to change the name and relaunch the mag (as mentioned on the website) and indeed this still may be the case, it depends on what you read into the statement published.
I hope it is still a viable business and wish Jon and Dee the best of luck with the recovery/relaunch."
Hope this helps
Andy
