RC Report Website?
 

My saved link, and the Google links that my search brought up, do not take me to RC Report Magazine's website. Anybody have a link?

Thanks,

Maybe the site is just down.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

It's http://www.rcreport.ws

It looks like its down.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

hmmmm, interesting.

I just looked at it and it is indeed down. The server is there, but the website isn't responding on that server. Hopefully it's just temporary and they'll get it worked out and back up soon.

This was posted on an email list from one of the writers for RC Report.


"I just got word from RC REPORT Owner and editor Gordon Banks that the March 2009 issue of RC REPORT will be its final issue. Due to the huge amount of advertiser cut-backs, they just couldn’t continue.
I have enjoyed writing for them, and I am sure that many of you will hate to hear about their demise. RC MODELER, and now RC REPORT"

I just started a subscription to RC Report. Funny, nothing was said about shutting down..I think an e-mail is in order.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

If true, this is a major bummer! [:o][:o][:o]

RE: RC Report Website?
 

Maybe Gordon can work out a deal with RCU to publish it on line. Otherwise it leave a very big hole in the modeling community.

How about a link to that e-mail

Why do they need RCU? Why don't they just do it themselves?

RE: RC Report Website?
 

This sentence should explain why they do not just do it themselves.

Whether printed, or online, it costs money to produce a magazine.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

Is their a name attached to this post? I’d like to get official word from somebody like Dick Pettit before I start crying.

Maybe Gordon can get a federal bailout?

RE: RC Report Website?
 

Wow, that would be devastating. It's my fav mag for sure!

RE: RC Report Website?
 

It came from the AMA District V VP, Tony Stillman who has a column in the magazine. I have seen communication from Gordon since then that confirms it.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

I e-mailed Gordon and he confirmed March 2009 is the last issue.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

Not likely. Half the stuff that's printed in RC Report would get a user banned/edited/censored on RCU for telling it like it is. Rc Report is like the anti-RCU.

Most of the other mags are just advertising catalogs. Nothing more. I guess companies feel they get their moneys worth out of them.....

RE: RC Report Website?
 

This really sucks! [:@]

RE: RC Report Website?
 

OK, y'all can start crying now

It's official. It wasn't supposed to be made public for a while but Gordon passed the word to one of the advertisers who promptly set out to tell everyone she could think of.

Personally, I already had conversations with several other media representatives, including RCU, and I'm open to any suggestions.

There are a few that i WILL NOT write for, but RCU is not one of them.

You know who I'm talking about.

Thanks for all th enice comments over the years and if I can find another place to do some writing, you'll be seeing even more ugly shirts!

Merry Christmas, y'all.

RE: RC Report Website?
 

This is not good news. [:'(]

Sad to see the magazine go. I had multiple years left on my subscription, I don't know how to fill the upcoming void.[:o]

RE: RC Report Website?
 

Dick Pettit,

Thanks for commenting. I'll read your columns wherever they are (but about those shirts... seriously... )

I will miss Gordon's column and reviews.

I too regret the future passing of RC Report. I had hoped that Gordon could keep it going. Was a price increase, for some reason, not a solution?

RE: RC Report Website?
 

What a shame! I'd personally be willing to up the subscription payments. I'll surely miss Gordo's editorials.


sad day for sure

RE: RC Report Website?
 

I'd gladly pay more for a subscription to RCR. Heck, I would pay retail, $60 a year it is that good of a magazine!
