I do subscribe too. For all the reasons above, super articles, great photography, ads for things that interest me, and to help support the forum. Been a subscriber for 4 or 5 years I think, but don't quote me on that one. I have purchased gift subscriptions too and pointed fishy friends in the Pond Boss direction. I get so excited when it comes in the mail, all other "to do's" get put on hold until it's read cover to cover.

If you think the forum is full of quality content, you should get the magazine.
