I believe that there are two different issues here.
Moderation of a
forum of which the the membership of is open to anyone is different than
the model where the writers and participants are chosen and there is an
editor / writer relationship in place.
It requires some business model or resource to support the latter, since
there is usually going to be a dedicated group if there is to be any
quality to it, in order for the enterprise to function.
Selling magazines used to do that. I do not believe that there is the
same resource to support these with online models.
Plenty of people are doing it; I don't know why you guys are unaware
of the massive amount of activity in this area. If you've never seen
it, you didn't look hard enough.
What supports magazines is advertising. Its no different on the web.
