The only thing I can think is that the advertisers on this site are seeing a reduced volume of business and are probably reducing their spending with IB. Sh!t flows down hill from there. But I could be wrong here.

Strange times we live in when interesting, informative reporting gets in the way of profit. I've always believed good reporting would help drive profits. Apparently, I am wrong.

Sorry to read the disappointing news, I have always enjoyed reading your columns and will now follow SOTW more closely for my boating fix.

Thank you Matt and Jason for all your efforts and hard work, let's hope there is a return to OSO in the near future.

you REALLY want it to get interesting around here.... let Bartus take it over!!!!! :circle:

Probably true, but reducing traffic on OSO creates a downward spiral. Less clicks on OSO translates to a lower value for advertisers.

Never in question. This decision came from way up the food chain. To clarify things, I added the "technology" to modify "team" as it applies to OSO jumping the gun on removing the home page.

We consider you and Yvonne as good friends as well, Greg. Please stay safe.

We either get through this nightmare together, or we don't get through at all.

I've been really disappointed at the actions of several businesses during these unprecedented tough times. This one goes to the top of the list. I'll be checking SOTW on a regular basis rather than OSO now. Best of luck to Matt & Jason!

Their loss. See you on the other side.
