EXTRA! EXTRA! READ ALL ABOUT IT!!

It seems DA has been in major turmoil over the past week or so. I just found out about it a couple days ago myself. It gets pretty complicated... in fact, I spent several hours the other day reading as much as I could about the issue... but here's the basic gist of it. Apparently, there's a power struggle of sorts going on right now, involving °jark and $spyed. °jark is one of two major co-founders for DA (the other being °matteo ), while $spyed came into the picture much later. I don't know how $spyed ever acquired so much power in the company (one thing I couldn't find in all the information yesterday), but he sits as CEO and President of DA today making him the sole decision-maker in the company, and he just fired °jark for reasons unknown. $spyed has been mum on the issue and has yet to explain his side of things, but °jark is taking legal action against him. Long story short, DA's future could depend on what unravels in the coming days and weeks. Corporation v. community is the flavor of the week. $spyed has major plans for DA and it seems money is his biggest motivator. Most of the community is rallying behind °jark on this issue, to keep this place a growing community. From what I can tell, $spyed's plan could very well be a sharp contradiction to what DA has always represented.

That's the issue at its core. It's not as black and white as I make it out to be, but I don't have time right now to explain any deeper. Here's a list of links that will fully explain the situation. I highly encourage everyone to read through these and follow the trail of links. You'll be surprised and probably a bit indignant to what has been going on.
