November 6, 2009 — WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — MacTech Magazine and
MacMod.com announced today that MacTech is acquiring MacMod, including the
site, forums, and podcasts. MacMod’s community and spirit will live on
with MacTech as its new home, and a chance to spread the excitement to a
much larger audience than ever before.
“For 8 years, MacMod has been the home to many with all kinds of Mac and
Apple creativity: a community full of people that make systems go beyond
what they were originally intended,” said Neil Ticktin,
Editor-in-Chief/Publisher of MacTech Magazine. “We’re excited about
helping this community grow. We look forward to giving all this creativity
an even broader base to draw on, and audience to see.”
“We’re thrilled to be working with MacTech in this acquisition. MacTech
has been a staple of the Apple community since the beginning,” said Jacob
Thomason and Anthony King, Founders of MacMod. “Many of our existing team
will be continuing on with MacTech, and mods will get the exposure they
really deserve.”
Initially, MacMod.com and MacModLive.com will continue on as they currently
do. Over time, they will be integrated into MacTech’s web presence and the
print publication.
