The bottom line is they are doing so because they feel it is the best way to treat people and in doing so, they are taking a loss.
You stated that " IMO, SportZ should of offered refunds (at least pro-rated ones)..." Let me explain it clearly. Sport Z magazine does not exist anymore and the people that started Nissan Sport Magazine are not the same owners. Yes, many of us that worked for Sport Z now work for Nissan Sport but those people are not owners, they were simply working for Sport Z.
To think that different owners of a new magazine should give you a refund is beyond reason IMO. To ask them to refund you money would be like asking Ford to give you money back for a tire feathering problem on your 350Z.
Last point is I think you will find Nissan Sport Magazine to be outstanding.

Well Jeff, Nissan Sport bought out SportZ and it's subscriber base regardless if they went under. If they are employing you and other people from the previous organization then SportZ was theoretically "bought out" and your new employer is now repsonsible by good business ethics if your company wants to survive. It would be very smart for the new owners to honor the paid subscriptions because that would ensure loyal subscribers and no brainer renewals.
This is coming from another business owner. Free enterprise is a great thing. The business/company owes a good product or service and the customers pay for it. Simple.
BTW, why did your previous employer go under so fast?

Again my refund comment was directed at SportZ magazine and not the new magazine... I don't expect the new magazine to offer refunds.
Anyways if you do honor all the old subsriptions then I give you all the props in the world as there are no legal reason to do so... Well that is unless you actual bought the company or corporation that made SportZ, but im assuming that you only bought the equipment off of them to start up the new magazine...
As far as your last point goes, I would probably agree with you, I thought SportZ Was well written...

I just got my NSM issue in the mail. Being a writer for the magazine but living in another state thus out of the inner hub so to speak, I do not get to see the overall layout etc until it arrives in the mail.
I know I might be biased, regardless, the new NSM is outstanding IMO. Yep, it looks like a home run first time at bat. Starting with a new magazine along with the new owners allowing everyone working for the magazine to provide input has created a better magazine. I am happy to see many of the ideas we have been discussing actually appear in print.
I also feel that including all Nissan products in the magazine makes it a better and more interesting read. Best of all; I know that it will even get better in the coming issues.

loved the new issue but it did have one BIG problem ( at least for me ).....not enough articles on the current Z model?!?!? Come on guys, I do like the old Z's but I own the current one so some more articles on the current model would be nice.

I am pretty dissapointed in nissan sport magazine.
I don't really wait for it to arrive like I do some of my other subscriptions... I hope it picks up cause I was real excited when it came out.
