PaintballX3 Magazine July 2014 Issue | Page 10

10 From the Prez Welcome Another “thank you” Editorial - S You may have noticed that the paintball magazine business is a tricky one to survive in. There have been many that have tried and less than a handful that are still publishing. I am fortunate enough to be in my 23rd consecutive year publishing paintball magazines, literally without missing a month. So for this month’s editorial I just want to say “thank you” to the writers, photographers, advertisers, teams, promoters, players and friends I have made over the years. Without your amazing support, help, input, articles, photos, editing and cooperation I would be working a desk job somewhere in Washington DC (just shoot me now). So we’re going to keep doing this magazine thing for as long as you’ll have us. As always we have some new things planned for the next few months. We’ll fill you in soon on that. In the meantime, here’s a little tribute to the magazines that have come and gone since 1985 (If we missed any please let us know). Incidentally, only seven of these magazines have published more than 50 issues.
