FSM subscription

Hi Tom,

Far be it from us to tell you why you should or shouldn't maintain a subscription to anything. That's entirely up to you and what you feel you can and do get out of it. As I have said before, there is no stigma for having graduated from FSM. If we aren't fulfilling your needs, then it's okay to move on. Would we like you to remain a subscriber? Absolutely! We believe we have something useful and fun to share with modelers, no matter the skill level. And if you decide you miss FSM, we'll be here. Thank you for your support over the years.

Reminder: This is the FSM Forum. For those who are tempted to come in and use this thread as a chance to deride FSM the brand, our staff, or our subscribers, we'll shut it down. Frankly, we'll do the same if it turns into a "slam IPMS" thread, too. Keep it positive or don't bother posting here. Plenty of space elsewhere for that.

Hi, I'm a long time subscriber and I have to say enjoying the variety of interests being catered for. Things change and time moves on.

Fine line between customer concerns and issues and 'deriding' the brand.  Up to interpretation from the listener I suppose.

Not really. Constructive criticism is easy to recognize. Contempt, ridicule, derision, and disrespect are, too. 

But it's pretty simple in this case: Tom is asking for reasons to maintain his subscription, not reasons to let it lapse. He has those already. Same thing with IPMS. He's put it in as positive a light as he can. So, let's keep further discussion focused on Tom's query.

I find IPMS very difficult to deal with.  I have been trying to renew my membership for a month (even getting help from an IPMS official) and still cannot make it work!  Their password requirements are more complex than any of my bank or investment sites!
