It really was not so much a question as a statement of fact.

You didn't miss much. I just asked when I could expect payment for the two articles I wrote that appeared in the January issue of Reefkeeping. When I first started writing for Reefkeeping, you would get a check in the mail at the end of the month that your article appeared. Very simple and professional. This go around, I still have not received payment now almost two months later. I emailed Skip (the old editor, but he was editor when my articles appeared) and got no response to this day. So, I emailed Marc (the new editor) and he promptly said he would ask Ryan Baker. Two weeks go by and I hear nothing so I email Marc again. He suggests I contact Ryan directly. A week goes by and nothing, so I created a thread in the feedback forum inquiring about payment. That was answered by saying that my email had been forwarded to John Link. Three weeks pass by and I don't get a check, or an apology saying that the check is in the mail, nothing. So, I created another thread (because the first one had mysteriously disappeared).
Steven Pro, yeah that is my real name.

Ugh. Well, I am glad it is coming out. Perhaps if enough people know about these happenings, submissions will drop off ala FAMA, and pressure will be brought to bear so that contributors get paid.

| Sorry to hear of that. I think RC is just continuing to have growing pains and that there must be some organizational distress. I also see many very qualified people abandoning the site completely. Maybe Randy wasn't getting paid either? It's unfortunate because I credit my RC experience with my whole plunge into the hobby, but there are a lot of hacks running around making people miserable. I certainly can't believe that anyone who doesn't get paid would do work for them again, but perhaps RC Admin feel it is a privilege to have articles posted on their site and maybe they don't want to pay contributors at all.
