Despite my personal distance to all of this (mostly stemming from my desire for other kinds of systems that host fanfic because AO3 has never been what I wanted), this ongoing OTW saga over the years leading up to the most recent events make me feel terribly sad for all of the many ppl in fandom who have donated time & energy (sometimes very significant amounts) to make OTW sponsored sites content rich, solidily organized archives. It isn't fair to them that the OTW has serious problems at the tippy top, which ends up shining a bad light on fandom all because of how OTW has positioned itself. Hopefully matters can be resolved and more responsible & responsive leadership can be brought in.

Sadsigh.
