Okay, I'm trying to do a mental inventory of Traveller 'zines that are currently alive out there, whether on a regular schedule or in a medical low berth. If it's still got living tissue, it counts. SO, what's out there, when was it started, and what's its publishing "schedule"?

Living

1985 - hibernating - Security Leak (http://www.securityleak.com/)
1998 - monthly - Freelance Traveller (http://www.freelancetraveller.com/)
1998? - regular - [$] Journal of the Traveller's Aid Society (http://jtas.sjgames.com)
2005 - quarterly - Stellar Reaches (http://stellarreaches.nwgamers.org/)
2010 - hibernating? - Into The Deep! (https://sites.google.com/site/reaversdeep/file-cabinet)

Dead

1986 - Third Imperium (http://www.travellermap.com/thirdimperium/)
2008 - Signs and Portents (http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/signsnportentsarchive) [Traveller since 2008]

Infinite Stars (Hibernating? Last issue I DL'd was from Nov 2011)

Tiffany Star (Dead, AFAIK)

Traveller Times (Dead, from mid-late 80's)

Sorry, can't find the websites in my notes, & don't have time to search for them right now online...
 
Into the Deep is not hibernating. I emailed Brett this week, and sadly work and family issues have postponed issue 5 again. Hopefully it will be out before christmas.
 
According to Mongoose, S&P isn't dead; they've been having some company issues, and 2013 is going to see Mongoose 'come back to life', more or less, so I'd characterize S&P as 'hibernating'.

Freelance Traveller, as a magazine, only dates back to 2010, with an introductory sample issue in November of 2009. As a website, 1998 represents our [my!] second major redesign; the original Freelance Traveller website, hosted on Dragonfire.net, goes back to about 1992 (and G-d! was that a crappy design. We grow older and learn...).

While all of the material from the earliest days is still on the current site, there is, [un?]fortunately, no way to see the horrific older designs; the Wayback Machine didn't get any of the earlier 'homes', which included Dragonfire, Neotown, and one other site which had a very strange update process, and which I don't recall the domain name of.
