Dear Reader,
Back in January, I posted an open letter letting you know that SB Nation and Vox would no longer support and monetize most of their MLS sites, including Hudson River Blue, as of February 28, 2023. To put it in metaphorical English: They told us they were going to pull the plug. But they also told us we could keep on keeping on and continue to run our sites for no pay and for an undetermined set of time.
Confusing, I know. Information trickled in over the following several weeks, but in recent days the options available to HRB have become more concrete, which means the future of this site has become clear: Not only will HRB continue to publish, we will start to operate as a fully independent site as of April 1, 2023.
