So I got the same email and popped on over here to see if there was a reaction, looks like it did.
Is EY still a mod on here .?? Haven't seen a post of his on the other forum in months.

The word over there is that since there is no active moderation here, new posters from the SUN board can't get approved here on sunspotliveson.proboards.com/Don't know if this is true or not....IS there any moderation here? |

I could be wrong BUT I imagine a mod for a so called "Newspaper" would be required to be unbiased or at least have credible acting skills, he is or have neither. Is there another mod there to counterpoint his bias? I don't belong to it nor have I ever had anything to say but lurking is entertaining.  |

Matt has his own opinions and did and pretty damn good job of enforcing the rules without letting his own opinions influence his mod “job”. They are all volunteers. Still butt hurt over something? |

As far as I know, only EY and the New Sheriff of Rock Ridge (board owner) have present mod ability and I have not seen either post here in a long time. Nevertheless, there was severe trolling going on from 2-3 posters late last year that "mysteriously" cleared up last fall with a bunch of posts deleted. And the board does show that someone successfully registered last January. Perhaps the SunSpot board owner got the same email we all did about the Sunpaper board closing and will check in. EY has commented his position in a couple threads on the Sunpaper board. I felt he was a fine moderator and would be happy if he returned. |

I plan on peeking every once in a while to see what is being posted here, but so far it is way cleaner than the Sun was. I stopped posting over there from before the election, only stopped in a couple of times to see the TDS going on.

As I said, the obvious bias cost them more than a few subscriptions in the more civilized parts of the state. |

The Sunpaper has always seemed to be more liberal. My parents preferred and got The News American for that reason, until The Sun became the only choice.

Go back 30 or 40 years, they were competitors close enough to the middle. The MARYLAND Gazette was non political covering local elections, I got it delivered while in and around Vietnam circa 1972. Great coverage on Agnes, I knew the Patapsco State Park where AACo hellions would go to cut school would never be the same.  I could be wrong but I don't think they endorsed anybody at that time. |
