For those that were unaware. May be worth a last ditch effort to email Rob @ Future (email in first post), I'll try anything to avoid buying a lesser magazine again.

Not necessarily Mike. Write to Rob via email and tell him your thoughts. The more of us that contact him the better the chances of keeping the magazine going. If Future drop it, it's not out of question that another publisher could take it up anyway. Start writing!

Looks like the news is getting out in the open now.

Myself and Woodsy had it broken to us on Saturday, and to say it was a shock is an understatement. :(

Can't understand it, as the mag was getting better and better with each issue. :?

It seems to have nothing to do with the quality Rob, merely a commercial decision. The machinations of business.................Don't blame yourself for the demise Rob ;)

If they featured everything I've submitted so far, it'd be a *great* magazine :wink: :lol:

Seems like Future had bought too many titles, and decided to trim things a little. Shame, coz J-tuner complimented and contrasted with the styles of Banzai and Japanese Performance nicely.
