Yes because how sensitive of a subject it is. The "most sore spot" if you will. I don't have the authority to post an elaborate explanation (as it would likely cause flaming, WW3, Scrin invasion, etc) but if you want to PM query an admin about possibly putting up a page containing just the facts, feel free to contact them (One Winged Angel, TeamWolf, WallyWood, Danpaul88, Moonsense715, Strike, Jerad2142) They are the proper people to ask about it.
We most certainly hope so! This was one of the purposes of moving away, as I understood it. Many here felt that they could develop more content better / faster in an environment different than that provided at BHP.
Things seem to be going well here in that respect. I would like to point out that while the ones here have built an environment that is conducive for them to thrive as developers, some stayed at BHP because they were comfortable in that environment. Everyone is different and when it comes to art and development of software and testing and mixing it all together, there are many different preferences at play. In my opinion, people need options. I hope that things have stabilized to some degree by now and that the awesome developers on ALL the projects have been able to just get back to doing what they love doing, regardless of which place they call home. I hold no malice and wish both groups Godspeed in their endeavors! (And hope that you all feel the same)
