Actually there wasn't much in the way of politics. Spiral was added on a figurehead Owner. He had less Admin privileges given to him than the Red-Text Admins, like myself.
No one but the last remaining Owner (Plothook started off with two) knew she was going to stop paying this month. She was the only one who had any of the necessary information for the server hosting to stop payment. When it went black on the 21st, none of us Admins nor Spiral had any idea. She didn't get in touch with Stormhowl until about 7PM EST and said she was done. So I'm not even sure she was paying enough attention to the site and the payments to even notice when our time was up until we tried to reach out to her.
That said, I'm as frustrated as any of you, and I have said it a dozen times already, that I'm incredibly sorry the many DMs and players were hadn't already reached out to about this site had no idea of the coming end. I wish I could have given everyone a timeline but we had no idea ourselves. Starting this site was something I pushed when I saw there was nothing being done with the registration issue. I assumed that Ronnie, the last remaining tech admin holding the keys to the palace, would help out because Bolverk told me she was in regular contact with her. I have no idea if that was/is true or not.
Spiral's games have voted for a restart due to the changes and missing information in some games. Perhaps it is something to consider. Be sure to have everyone read thought the FAW under the Information menu and let me know if you have any questions about features or proposals.
I don't want to make the whole situation be about blame and scandal, because I think most of us are just sad our long time forum-home is gone. So, I won't be posting any angry rants about it all. I hope you lot don't hold negativity about Bolverk's decision because this is our new fancy condo we need to worry about furnishing with games!
