There is no easy way to say this, but the future of our site has been thrust into uncertainty. On Friday morning, Vox CEO Jim Bankoff announced major lay-offs at the company. The SB Nation hockey vertical has effectively been “de-monetized”, i.e they will no longer be paying the staff of most sites — including ours. Our contracts expire at the end of February.
The communications that I have received from our corporate overlords is sparse on the details of what will happen at the end of February. I wish I had something more that I could tell the community, but this is the situation as we know it.
