    What happened?

    It seemed to just disappear.

    I recall something about a disagreement?

    There was a disagreement and Fred left the site.

    You weren't here when the topic was around on EC. :slight_smile:

    sorry.

    Basically a member used to run an online magazine.
    It was connected to this site.

    But for some reason the connection was severed.
    I'm wondering why.

    IIRC, it was because Fred and others had a bit of a tiff, and Fred was the only one putting any work into FS. Thus, Fred bailed and FS died.

    ^ Actually, that's not quite correct. There WERE issues between Fred and other members of the staff, but that's not why it's gone from the site.

    Fred decided that he wanted to start a facebook group for FS. This ended up being problematic, as those who have read that red type in the box above will realize. We do not allow any linking to exterior sites where direct contact between members is possible. (It's part of the safety screen we have in effect.) We banged our heads together for awhile, looking for some sort of compromise, but one thing we couldn't compromise on was that one of two things had to go - either the facebook group, or the link to EC. He refused to take down the facebook group, and so the link to EC was severed.
