269825 "Joseph Sullivan" <joe@j...> 2020‑01‑29 Re: Popular Woodworking?
I know this is two months after the original post, but I am catching up.  I
let my PW subscription lapse when I realized the mags were piling up.  It
wasn't so much that it was bad, as just not that interesting.  Publications
are all about the teams that create them; sometimes a change-over
reinvigorates, and sometimes the opposite.  In this case apparently the
opposite.  TO be honest, although I did like the pub back in the Megan and
Swartz days, I originally subscribed to Woodworking.  When they merged it
back into the parent, I stayed on.

Once, the FWW web forum was a magical place, with some superb craftspeople
and a lot of serious-about-it-but-not-so-superb guys like me learning from
them.  However, they cut out all their paid experts, and did not exercise
even a modicum of care wit the site -- no moderators, so flame warriors and
boring know-nothings spoiled everything.  I haven't even clicked on their
sites in many years now.
