Seems like here, FA, you are trying to frame the forum mods as bad guys by claiming we didn't sign the NDA that "protected user data", which in truth the staff didn't because you had requested government IDs off them and your insistence that they sign it especially after the FATransparency leaks were very suspicious.
Dragoneer, you said yourself that no one would be removed from staff if mods talked shit about FA, yet Renashe was removed from staff for that exact reason. Renashe is one of the most community focused people I know, she only strives to do what's best for the furry community. You could've used her as an amazing asset yet you threw her in the trash because she was "too critical".
But lets get to the important point:
The FA forums community DECIDED ON THEIR OWN MERIT to split from FA. THE COMMUNITY WANTED IT by an 80% margin on the forum poll carenath made. WHY WON'T YOU LISTEN TO THEM? This is a problem with FA as a whole. Each time staff members approached you with community focused ideas, we hit brick wall after brick wall of stubborn upper management. You claim you care about the community but you won't listen to them.
None of the upper management were even involved or even reached out to us during this mess. It was only Yak that was trying to liaise with us. It seemed like you didn't care at all and wanted to push it under the rug. You didn't say ANYTHING until your overlords IMVU got involved. Even they saw how messed up the situation was and how your silence up until this point was completely unwarranted.
I am severely disappointed but not at all surprised that you're trying to go into PR spin mode instead of being absolutely honest with your users for once and admit you fucked up.

Forum software and hosting belonged to Carenath, forum licence was paid for by Uncia because Dragoneer refused to. Legally it's property of them, and shouldn't have been included in the sale of the site.
Dragoneer never owned the forums license and according to vbulletin, whoever holds the license, they own the database. we broke off and remade the forums with our copy of the DB as agreed upon after giving dragoneer his copy, IMVU sends a threat to us shortly afterwards then dragoneer pretends that he didn't agree to fuck all, we lost our DB, we didn't hijack anything as it was never his at any point in time.
