Hafnium and Lim_Dul left because they believed that SpA was being mismanaged at a time of a couple of internal issues, and so sent a convoluted message involving a few pieces of circumstantial evidence to the majority of Minecraft players on the forum, as well as advertizing it within the game itself. I would go into it further but it really annoys me.

They took approximately 90% of our active players, leaving us rather dead and lifeless. We're back on our way to the top though, so need to worry.

If you really want to go there, it's "fcraft.net official".

This left the server (or what was left of it) in the hands of Cardboard, Don_Don_Don, Howard and MTWDave. They're the new yellow-named Owners you see waltzing around here and there.

A lot of people have been annoyed about this so don't bring it up too much. SpA itself maintains a neutral stance and hopes to avoid antagonism, so don't start anything and don't do anything too rash, aggressive or stupid (like I was dumb enough to do). As anna said: "It's just a game."

Of course, it's a game we all enjoy. So that's why we're working on patching it up.

Congrats!
I don't mean to flame, but I don't think you can call this stealing (if you are talking about ingame content). The ones who made it own it. Dave for example requested the world DBChallenge to be taken down on fCraft because it was his brainchild.

ps: If you promote me to trustee that would benefit me more too
