solid solutions web is now?

Yeah they screwed that deal up a long time ago. Years back (like 5-6)
SolidWorks approached Solid Solutions Mag to giving New SolidWorks
Customers a Years subscription with each seat purchase and they
declined. I don't know what SolidWorks' offer was to Solid Solutions
but, they missed out on some huge exposure.

In all fairness, it wasn't really the folks at Solid Solutions Magazine that
were the problem. I worked with the former editor a lot and she was
energetic, friendly, and had a good idea about what the magazine should have
become. Her departure was sudden and sad. Her successor was also someone
with good ideas, and a desire to improve what was left of the rag after the
pdf fiasco. Unfortunately, he too was crippled by the policies of the parent
company - Connect Press.

That's where the blame should fall. All of the major decisions including
pdf, the swcommunity site, and the lack of proper resource management belong
squarely on thier shoulders. I had the opportunity to speak with someone
from Connect Press a couple of months ago. I told her that we were unhappy
with the direction that Solid Solutions was taking and would like to have it
fixed. She told me to expect something really great coming soon, and it
turned out to be this community thing.

I think it's the best we'll ever get.

I bought a two year subscription when I started using SolidWorks. They
couldn't even get it together to tell me that my subscription was running
out, so I missed a number of issues. I subscribe to a lot of magazines and
they are the only one that was ever so stupid. I'm afraid they don't have
much business sense.

Hey, they still owe me money.

 

I think someone needs to start this again (Printed copy), but under a new
name and with a company that cares about Solidworks. I would love to see
something out there again that people want to read. I know I enjoyed reading
the SS Articles. I would love to see something reappear in the same fashion.
Heck, if I had the backing I would start it myself. I know I have a lot of
love for the software.
