There is not a single hobby based magazine that I have been interested in that has not degraded over the years.

The only hobby-mag I can think of off the top of my head would be Car & Driver. Still a lot of cheeky irreverence in their pages, and not too much bowing to the industry gods. Motor Trend has always seemed like an industry rag, and Road & Track lost its way a long time ago. Mags like Automobile, AutoWeek, etc., have had their moments but the focus on the industry rather than the cars has never excited me.
