Don't raise any pitchforks over what happened with the site's upper management. The whole upper-most layer was completely sedated and overdue for either a change or a firm restructuring. Hell, I would know, I've been part of it for what, over 2 years now?
There was a LOT going on behind the scenes that most normal users had no clue about. Even most moderators only knew there...
