Is Maxim magazine ceasing print publication soon?
I've gotten Maxim magazine for several years now. The last couple issues are EXTREMELY thin. Not unlike the last couple issues of PC magazine. The number of ads has decreased greatly also. I know Playboy is in trouble also so I'd like to see any adds that indicate this is the end of Maxim.
Lots of links please!

Maxim magazine will cease print publication, probably in a year, if Blender is used as an indication.
Blender, a music and entertainment magazine, whose ad pages fell 31 percent in 2008, to 522 pages, according to the Publishers Information Bureau. Blender will cease publication with its April issue, but will continue to publish on its Web site, blender.com, its owner, the Alpha Media Group, announced on Thursday.
Alpha also is combining its magazine Maxim with Maxim.com, which means a few staff changes and, potentially, more layoffs. Joe Levy, the editor in chief of Blender, will become editor in chief of the combined Maxim and Maxim.com; Jay Woodruff, formerly editor in chief of Maxim Digital, will become chief content officer of the operation.
But other country version such as India are making progress, which include e-zine covermount CD too.

Actually, Maxim is doing fine, but the magazine Blender has ceased publication. Here is a quote from Fox Business News:
"When the Week launched in April 2001, we were a tiny flea on the big dog of Dennis Publishing," Falk noted. "Maxim, Stuff and Blender -- if anyone had to bet back then which of these four magazines would be flourishing today, not too many would have put their money on the Week."
For those of you keeping score at home, Dennis Publishing eventually sold off Blender. The magazine folded last Thursday."
Most likely, the subscribers to Blender will move over to Maxim and you may see the magazine buff up a bit.
Mahalo!

The answer to this is most likely. 
The short answer is most likely not.
Maxim Magazine is a publication of Dennis Publishing, according to a press release from Dennis Publishing date Feb. 2, 2009:
"Maxim has seen a 5.5% increase in UK sales successfully reflecting recent marketing investment and fresh editorial invigoration under Ben Raworth, Editorial Director, as the magazine continues to evolve upmarket and away from the more traditional lads-mags audience."
this increase in a foreign market makes it more likely that it will be kept, and as the ad revenue from American business might be low the increase from countries such as the UK might lead to a continuation of printing. also the magazine has also seen an increase in their subscription numbers according to the same press release, for the Jul-Dec 2008 time, which is also more likely to add to its continuation.
"Maxim
Jul-Dec ‘08: 45,951
Jan-Jun ‘08: 43,542
Jul-Dec ‘07: 78,463
POP: +5.5%"
