If anybody remembers Zidonuke, one might recall some 'fun' the last time a dev left in a huff, this time it isn't over being mad about being told to stop breaking the rules, either.
Here's what I've seen so far.
Hi, F-List!
It seems like I'll no longer be your Lead Developer because of an internal dispute with Dragonfruit's management about adequate compensation of volunteers. While F-List has been run by a for-profit company for a almost a year now and some employees of this very company get a wage, it seems as if adequate compensation for our hard-working volunteer developers is too much to ask for. Indeed, the mere mentioning of the fact that some people get paid for their work while others don't is reason enough to get fired, as in my case. It's as absurd to me as it is to you.
Consider this my farewell to you in general, and all the staff in particular. You've been an awesome community, and I'm glad to have experienced this wild ride with you. So long, and thanks for all the fish! If you need to reach me and I no longer happen to be here, send an e-mail to melvin+flistreach@likes.pounc.es. And don't forget to take what anyone says, including me, with a grain of salt.
Love,
Melvin

Dave the Pangolin broadcasted Hello everyone! Dave here, Lead Admin and General Manager of Dragonfruit.
I would like to apologize for an earlier broadcast by an unfortunately disgruntled former member of F-List staff. It is the worst part of my position to make these decisions, when a staff member simply does not work out despite my attempts to resolve it otherwise. Despite negotiations in order to retain this individual, and create a valued environment, my best efforts fell short and this person felt it necessary to broadcast a spiteful and inaccurate statement at the company that has worked so hard at providing benefits, servers, resources, and infrastructure to this amazing site.
I, along with Dragonfruit Ventures, am dedicated to making F-List the most amazing role-play fetish site out there. Without a coherent team that works towards the common goal, this is simply not possible. While I cannot control what is said about me, or our company, I can tell you this: our actions speak louder than our words. Our efforts, both prior to today and the planned ones in the future, stand testament to our continued support and dedication to you. It wounds me that someone has taken upon themselves to speak poorly of us, but I know that we are committed to our goals.
I encourage you to ask me any questions you may have. I can be reached directly at dave@dragonfru.it, or dave@bad-dragon.com. Thank you so much for being a part of our site, and I look forward to showing you even more of what we have planned.
