<p>Yeah, the "Why We Love Sugar" of August 2013's NGM, I thought the same thing. </p>
<p>Weird that Science bit the dust already -- it's still on newsstands, haha.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I got an email like your card about Science's publishing schedule being "uncertain at this time...". </p>
<p></p>
<p>Happy new year to you,</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>I got a card from NG Science saying that there will be no more issues. Another one bites the dust. It is interesting to note the NG Science feature article and cover about sugar is almost the same as a NG Magazine cover and article of a few years ago.</p>

<p>I'm glad to see someone else was interested in monitoring these other side magazines. I have every issue of Green Guide, for collection purposes only. I thought it kinda sucked. </p>
<p>I like your phrasing about trends and short-lived concepts. I like HISTORY magazine too, I keep a running subscription to it (have every issue). Did you notice NG SCIENCE that just came out?, but I don't think they're putting out an issue #2 - we'll see. </p>

<p>Hmm, you're likely right: Nat Geo WILD is done already? , as I not that the Feb/Mar. issue should probably have already made its appearance if not...</p>

<p>I'd like to comment back on a few of your other points above too, but alas cannot right now.</p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>It looks to me like NG Wild magazine is dead. (I tried to subscribe about when you did.) It was really just advertising for the NG Channel.</p>
<p></p>
<p>I think the reason NG History magazine eventually caught on is because it is actually relevant to people who are history buffs, even though they are printing a lot more than they sell. Its large "bookazine" format makes it a pleasure to read. But I wonder if it will continue.</p>

<p></p>
<p>I think the Green Guide reflected a brief trend which did not go mainstream. It was really a woman's magazine.</p>
<p></p>
<p>As a collector, these short-run magazines are interesting as examples of misguided concepts. I also see a gradual decline in the quality of the NG Magazine. I prefer to read the issues from previous decades. And it is interesting to see the highly sensationalized covers of the NG Magazines on the newsstand vs. the subscriber cover of the same magazine. Two very different spins on the same stories.</p>

<p>Rob, </p>
<p></p>
<p>I sent a subscription card (no payment) in late September for NG WILD, and on Oct. 22nd, received this card (image inserted below). It instantly reminded me of the same scenario back in 2011 when I tried to subscribe to then "Exploring History", which existed for 4 issues across 4 years, before finally re-debuting as simply "History" in the deluxe format like WILD. </p>

<p>I think they plan to issue NG Wild regularly as a "special" issue until they make final decision to get the subscription going. It seems more solid then "Exploring History" did, at first.</p>
<p></p>
<p>"Green Guide" - haha, don't get me going on that one! I believe I have every issue of if. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Say, when did you send your NG Wild subscription in? </p>

<p>Hi Scott,</p>
<p>It appears NG Wild magazine has been discontinued after issue #2. I tried to subscribe but they sent me a note saying they weren't taking subscriptions and would refund any subscription money paid. This even beats the short-lived Green Guide of a few years ago.</p>
