In my opinion, there appears to be a skeleton crew handling matters. If they are not responding to emails, there must be a reason behind it. My hypothesis is that they are operating with minimal staff, possibly due to Postmedia facing financial difficulties. It wouldn't be surprising if they decide to shut down the servers one day. Again, this is just my opinion.

This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 24, 2023.
TORONTO - Newspaper publisher Postmedia Network Corp. is laying off 11 per cent of its editorial staff, less than a week after workers were told the company was grappling with "economic contraction," sources tell The Canadian Press.
Postmedia, which owns publications including the National Post, Vancouver Sun and Calgary Herald and employs about 650 journalists, announced the layoffs at a town hall Tuesday afternoon.
In an audio recording of the meeting obtained by CP, Gerry Nott, acting senior vice-president of editorial content, said the cuts would impact all of the company's publications with the exception of Brunswick News and Postmedia Editorial Services, which have already been downsized.
"There isn't a property in our network that won't be affected by a restructuring, reorganization or layoff," he said.
"And to be clear, this is about aligning our cost structure with our revenue stream against ongoing decline in our industry and strong economic headwinds leading up to this difficult decision on staff reduction."
Postmedia did not respond to a request for comment on the cuts.
The sources asked not to be identified as they were not authorized to publicly speak on the matter or share recordings of the meeting.
The job cuts come days after the company warned staff in a memo that an unspecified number of roles would be eliminated across Postmedia over the coming months through hiring restrictions and layoffs.
At the same time, it announced it was moving a dozen of its Alberta community newspapers to digital-only formats, eyeing more outsourcing deals for printing, laying off workers and selling the home of the Calgary Herald.
The company had also adjusted print deadlines in major markets, made changes to its comics and puzzles and eliminated publishing papers on some days, Nott said Tuesday.
"Had we not made those changes, the number of journalists affected by layoff would be considerably higher," he said.
Nott added that the company had yet to identify specific jobs that will be cut and said it is possible that management positions will be affected at a higher or disproportionate rate than non-management roles.
He expected to begin having conversations with editors carrying out the reductions in the next 24 hours and urged anyone feeling like they can't be part of the company's future to talk to union, human resources or editorial representatives about voluntary layoff packages.
Nott also revealed the company was going to move to remote work on a permanent basis, except for markets like Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal, which he said would return to the office.
He acknowledged the moves would create a "difficult time," but said it was "vital" to find a path through this "extremely turbulent stretch."
Staff were “totally demoralized and disillusioned” by Nott’s announcement, said Martin O’Hanlon, president of CWA Canada, a union representing some Postmedia workers.

That why they should invent an cancel pick or void pick button. Especially if your locked in on an pick that won't unlock and that pick lost. Or if you accidentally picked an wrong game on an future date, when you meant and or wanted to pick an game for the current date. I didn't understand when the Thursday Apr 18 Cubs Marlins was rained out why they automatically transferred the over pick to sat Apr 20, even though Cubs Marlins also had an game on Fri Apr 19. Was upset at time cause missed 2 days of picks, Thursday cause of rainout and not other picks, and Friday Apr 19 cause they automatically transferred over pick to Saturday. Ended up working out good though cause I ended up getting the over pick right on Sat Apr 20, think if I would of went with other picks would of lost on Thursday and Friday and who knows if I would of ended up making an winning correct pick or not if I wouldn't of went with Saturday over pick.

Last two days have been tough though, picked Clippers +2.5 on Tuesday, and they played good most of game, and should of covered, there were back and forth runs by both teams especially thru 3 quarters. Mavs pretty much dominated the fourth and Clippers played bad in fourth quarter though, frustrating they didn't rebound on Irving missed free throw down 4 then Clippers make an 3 as time expires to lose by 3 96-93 and lost prop by half an point. Today I should of picked Heat instead of DBacks, 14.5 is an lot of points and heat won outright. Dbacks had terrible hitting today and fell apart after leading 1-0 thru 5, then ended up losing 5-1. Marte and Gurriel should of been starting nstead of on bench, might of generated more offense. Now got to make an run at 16-6, 3 wins back, got to make up 3 wins in 6 days, 4 wins if I don't have the tiebreaker over the current leaders.
