It's pragmatism, Paco.
As I said before, I personally need to get out from under the overlord/admin thing and the RDF baggage. I'm really glad Pappa had the foresight to set this up, with how things have been going lately...well for a long time, really.

No I'm still not sure. Don't panic though, I might guess eventually.

I was thinking about it since before Christmas, but only recent events led me to believe it might actually be necessary. I fucking loved OT and I loved TAF too, but things were going so horribly wrong and I didn't want what we had to disappear completely under a dark cloud and for people to slowly drift away after each drama.

I haven't felt too good about TAF since Jason and I relinquished our staff rights, to no avail, I still love the place and don't think I could leave it.
Has anyone asked FIO yet? She's quite cut up about TAF and has said she's leaving. I'd like her here.

Fuck! How did you do it? I was so careful with the red herring (avoidance of typographical or spelling errors) too!
