Unfortunately. You'd expect things to be done out in the open, but alas.

I have strong ethical problems with how they manipulated their current position.

IRC/Discord/Slack/whatever are great platforms for quick chats, but the problem then is that often decisions are taken that aren't documented properly, and many people are left out of the loop. Even if you do log in there from time to time you just can't scroll all the way up to find out what happened. And since it is a real time system, you then have people who just can't be there at the time of discussion who are left out; and decisions are taken and enacted without them.

1) Along with being able to modify MOULa assets, you can also use MOULa assets (modified or not) in your own Ages (such as textures, sounds, models, etc.)
2) Fan shards can host the MOULa data set. Before that can officially happen, I need to replace the Peter Gabriel song with something else

Case in point: in a recent discussion on IRC, I was directed to look in a Discord channel for an announcement by Chogon, a policy change that's really a big deal in my opinion. It should be pinned, framed and behind glass somewhere...but it's buried back on October 29:Chogon wrote:A couple of answers to questions:

(point 1) is an expansion of permissions stated elsewhere before; but point 2) is unique to this Discord post, to my knowledge)
