Since Wednesday at least. It's possible that no one's noticed though. They get maybe one post a day nowadays.

Something that everyone needs to do. On top of being hilarious and providing fun contests, it's also informative.

I remember those days. See stuff like that was what once made Wizard fun.

Yeah. A hack or a virus turned every post into a spam ad, then I guess the people at the 'Rama took the whole thing down.

As for the news itself, I think can also be taken as yet another indication that the Industry as a whole is going to shift to digital in the next 3 - 5 years.

Looks like more of the Imaginova crap happening again.

Two days later I get another email saying that if I resubscribed I'd get a Heroclix figure or something (I was really into the game at the time & it was a bad-ass piece). I called their customer service line and told them that I had just re-upped my subscription two days before, which they had record of in their system, and asked if I could get the free Heroclix figure and was flat out told "no". I think the figure was available for purchase for something ridiculous like $20 and was told that was the only way I could get it. I even asked if I could cancel my renewal and re-up it with the person on the phone and they just said there was nothing they could do.

Now THAT is just complete douchebag dickery.

What about....
