I still have my shirt. Not sure where I put my poster.
I sold my shirt on FB auction for $10 and I got Avery to sign my poster at The Memorial (where Huckers was at the fly mart with more free posters and schwag for sale) and sold it also for $10... so I've recouped my money.
Guy at the fly mart said we were 3 weeks away from the magazine for what that's worth... we'll see.
Since I'm too lazy to go through all of these pages, who can briefly explain what happened here? I almost subscribed to this and it sounds like some kind of scam?
I think they found out a little too late that print journalism - at least as a start-up today - is dead.
I see a lot of you guys saying this but please tell me what justify this statement? What proof or example do you have that print journalism is a dead industry?
They didn't hack into your checking account and steal your money. You chose to send them money because they said you'd get something for it. That is the point he is making, not that they're fine to just take the money and run. He said they were wrong, he's just choosing different words. Why is this even an argument?
For that matter, why do people continue to send money to any old guy when he promises something disc golf related?
I work in the media industry (newspapers, broadcast and internet mostly).I see a lot of you guys saying this but please tell me what justify this statement? What proof or example do you have that print journalism is a dead industry? I'm pretty damn sure that Rolling Stone, ESPN mag, US Weekly, etc. etc. etc. have been doing well for years and will continue to do so. Just because we all have computer and the internet doesn't mean everyone wants to sit and read a .PDF file of a magazine through your email. I could be wrong but I really don't think print journalism is falling by the wayside like most of you seem to think. If this was true then why do they still print newspapers if everyone just reads the news on the internet now?
But its also a beautiful artform that I'd hate to see truly 'die.'

I called out the "perpetrators" four months ago. I didn't give them any money as a result. Now I'm amusing myself on a crappy snowy afternoon by tweaking the suckers who did. Thanks for playing along.
you can always dispute the charge with your credit card company and get your money back for non-receipt.
*purely speculation* I know nothing of the reality.
A couple guys have a grand idea of creating a disc golf magazine. Together they realize they have the means - access to and knowledge of: Software, printing sources, shipping, etc. They dive in head first with grand intentions of providing the best product ever. Upon receiving funding and actually tackling the project at hand, they quickly realize that they are not quite prepared to handle their vision - hiccups and problem solving all along the way. They're a bit embarrassed by their mistake, as they frantically scramble to get the product out, trying to appease everyone (investors and onlookers).
This thread explodes, quickly word gets around to these dudes. They say "Oh ****, I didn't realize such a level of distress had come from this, we're doing the best we can with the resources we have." They're getting excited, things are finally reaching a point that they will have a product soon. Their printer says that it will go to print in about 8 days, they post on facebook "It will be done in a week." Then of course they have a problem with such and such function inhibiting the compatibility...
Story goes on, they probably chime in on this thread and facebook and admit their mistake. Some investors are furious "Give me my money back!!" most investors understand that these things take time. The dudes feel the pressure. They rush the process and their first print is only a portion of their vision of what it could be, or will be.
Five years from now I'll have an issue of Hucker on my coffee table with a headline reading "Nike tour finals - Who will have the best chance at the Million dollar top prize? July 18, 2019 7:00 PM ESPN.
My dad says the same thing. Plus the ability to fold, write on the page, etc.I personally like print media over digital form just because I like to either have it later on as a reference or just a keep sake for whatever reason.
