M is in touch with the people who run Black Table and even further, he is the one who introduced me to the site. Appropriately, I wrote him this morning to find out more. More or less in effort to keep my promise of getting the scoop on this sad, sad occasion. This is all I know right now:
Me to M:
So, any word on why the Black Table is closing up shop?
M to me:
I've been meaning to shoot a quick e-mail to Will, but I've been busy. I think they're all just busy with other stuff now that he's doing deadspin and Gillin went to Maxim.
Me to M:
Okay, thanks. Just let me know if you find anything out.
I'll keep the updates coming, given there are any updates to keep coming.
