Mood: Mourning...
Reading: The Silmarillion by J.R.R. Tolkien

If you haven't heard by now, here I am to enlighten you. $jark, as we formally know him, no longer exists. He is now °jark. What does this mean, you ask? It means that he is now a FORMER Staff Member. Why? Well, that's the question we're all seeking the answer of. From what I've read, the answer seems to be very similar to the situation back on March 15th, 44 B.C.: Yep, the day that the Roman Senate betrayed Julius Caesar and killed him.

Some may think that that's a little blown out of proportion; obviously, I don't. What I think is that this site is being maliciously malformed, literally deviating from the loving community that it once was. Assholes in forums are one thing, but assholes in STAFF? What does this say about our community? Not only is Jark gone, but I've heard of other staff members leaving their respected and somewhat coveted posts! Now, if you agree that this situation is getting a little carried away, then do something about it. Do what, you ask? Well, here are some options...

[link] - You could go directly to $jark's dA page.
[link] , [link] , [link] - Take part in any of these "projects". I am personally going to go with the Yellow Day idea.
[link] - Check out this thread on Yellow Day.
[link] - Sign this petition (please do this at least).
[link] - Read this note from °matteo.
[link] , [link] - Go to either or preferably both of these journal entries to get more information.

Also, if you feel so inclined, check out ~JusticeForJark!

Other than that, I can't really think of anything else to do, which saddens me greatly. You could show support by posting these in journals:




Thank you for your time.
