I think that I'm gonna have some fun at the next ata.

yeah, we should all post...
no one should post about either of them being laid off, especially considering we weren't even supposed to know
we don't know the details and there could be a very legitimate reason for the two of them being let go, attacking gaia based on nothing more than an assumption is just going to ruin both jk and pan's credibility even further
maybe you're right, I won't say anything. But I think they would expect a bit of a stir when they let go of two of their most popular devs.
but i don't believe we were even supposed to know, so it does nothing but make us look nosey and and untrustworthy and jk look foolish giving us this information and not expecting us to do what we did

The userbase may not have been supposed to know but now the info is out and public on the forums so why not
dramallama The users are the customers of the website and it's definitely the prerogative of a customer to ask a business questions and, if there is any, express dissatisfaction.
i suppose they can't view us any more unfavourably than they already do, though it might make jk/pan look worse
Why would the fact that people care about them make them look bad?
Also, in response to what you said to Rafi: Pan made a journal entry confirming/announcing that it was a "mass" layoff that effected, among others, several senior people. So at monday ATA people would only be responding to information "officially" given. Furthermore, again, why care if we look "nosey" to the company? Are we supposed to want to look "good" to them? I'd rather look like a confident customer.
well he clearly didn't want to let everyone know off the bat or wasn't allowed to, yet the one person he trusted the information to immediately blurted it out to the community
caring isn't bad, but it comes across as though we're (including jk) trying to stir up drama when it's like this rather than from an official/in-depth statement or from him on here directly
nothing on us in particular but i'd bet jk didn't want to go out having tension with the company (though who knows), at least not from something as official as a skype chat excerpt*

it's from jk of course, but it's as official as swarf picking at gaia over funding way back when
