...hmmm...it seems that every "leader" has the right to have friendly, loyal workers in positions that would directly promote their own leadership; likewise it seems that if leadership changes these same positions would be terminated in favor of new leaderships' choice; does anyone know if any of the old moderators requested to stay on and were refused....this whole thing happened over the weekend so it is not unreasonable for there to be some resolution at the next business day. I observe that Jack and Ed have indicated that they do not want the "community" to suffer in the interim. They are working toward finding their new site, it is not yet ready. When it is ready I am sure they will welcome members to their site.
