they've already said that we should be a little patient with the online mag because they seriously don't have enough time to make it longer... what would happen if they had to make a 100++ page mag every month?

Actually No, pick up your averge import rag..SCC, Turbo Super Street....now seriously count the articles... Print mags are about 70% ads and 30% content... We have normally had on average 4 to 5 Project articles, couple features, new products, racing..etcc.. I bet if you count the average word number to legit articles and compare it you'll see that NPM has more content then those named print mags...
The key to NPM going to print is money... Everyone that works on NPM does it on a strictly voluntary basis.
If you'd like to contribute to a fund or a subscription membership we could probably go print... we've discussed a membership type drive... it may be the only way not only for print, but to survive period..
Believe me everyone that works to produce NPM each month appreciates the positive comments and it keeps us going... There has been times in the past when we would question weather anyone was reading this stuff...lol... Speaking for all the contributors to NPM I'd liek to thank everyone for their support and kind words...
