New Globe-Democrat website
Submitted by yelvington on October 29, 2009 - 7:04pm.If you're looking for the new St. Louis Globe-Democrat website, this isn't it. This site, which has been around since 2002, is about the newspaper that closed in 1986.
Dan Rositano, who runs a St. Louis IT company, has announced he's launching a news site at http://www.globe-democrat.com/ on Dec. 8, 2009. Note the hyphen and click the link.
The St. Louis Globe-Democrat

The Globe-Democrat was St. Louis' daily "Good Morning" up until 1986, when it ran out of money and closed. If you worked at the St. Louis Globe-Democrat or just read the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, you're welcome to leave a note here.
If you have any photos or scannable Globe-Democrat memorabilia, create an account and upload the images to your own gallery. Any problems? Email me using the contact form.
Locked down
Submitted by yelvington on January 15, 2010 - 1:54pm.I've removed the login/registration box from the front page. This website was created in 2002 as a "remember the Globe-Democrat" resource, primarily for former Globe-Democrat staffers who now are scattered around the world. I'm hosting a collection of photos from a Globe-Democrat staff reunion.
Lately I've had a rush of registrations from people who I suspect are confused about this site versus the recently launched Globe-Democrat.com website, which uses the name of the old Globe newspaper but has no actual connection to the newspaper that was shut down in 1985, briefly revived, and shut down again in 1986.
If you're looking to engage in a conversation about St. Louis, you probably should go to Dan Rositano's website and not here.
If I get time to upgrade this site, I may install Facebook Connect or something similar that lets people comment and keeps spammers out. I really don't have time to deal with the spam morons who attempt to post junk here. (You have no idea how bad it is until you try to run a site.)
