Wollheim (one of the field's best editors and a founder of SF fandom, was stiffed for the rental price of a meeting hall. He later helped destroy Gernsback's "Science Fiction League", which was an early commercialized version of SF fandom. This actually worked out for the best, as it helped establish that SF Fandom would not be beholden to ANY commercial interests, so, kinda, bonus.

I never addressed what we're trying to do with the magazine. Bascially, we recognize that SF is an evolutionary kind of literature, each succeeding generation "standing on the shoulder's og giants" as they say. We maintain a connection to the origins of the genre, through all of its generations, and we are atttempting to reintroduce the "positive future" kind of story (rather than the dystopic ones that have been so popular of late); we are hoping to publish the same kinds of stories that inspired an earlier generation to go into space - futures that people might actually want to live in. (Though I have to admit I have a personal fondness for imagining an Earth where the few survivors can live luxurious scavenger lives....). It's not for no reason that we are currently "living in a science fiction world". Its because golden age SF inspired an entire generation to make those fictional visions real. We're looking to do the same for our future.
