Two long-time Mac geek favorites with a combined history of 33 years in the business are joining forces with modders’ work to eventually be folded into MacTech over time.

MacTech Magazine and MacMod.com have announced 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, 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, 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.
