All the SluggySquad stuff is now on [[squadwiki:Main Page|SquadWiki]].
This is an interim area for collecting information relating to the status of [[SluggySquad]] as it goes through (insert appropriate euphemism here).
 
== Current Status ==
 
[[User:Harena|Harena]] has been given ownership of the [[SluggySquad]] IRC channels, as requested by Mew.
 
We have contacted Thyla; she indicated that we will be maintaining the same relationship with them that we had prior to now, which is that SluggySquad has always been treated as an independent community much like the MARE and the mailing list in that they exert no control or influence over it. She also said that they will continue to come to us for any future Pete Chats, although that didn't appear likely in the near future due to extreme busyness.  --[[User:Vee|Vee]] 22:34, 21 Apr 2005 (PDT) (with edits by Woozle)
 
*Sluggypics is unreleated to squad.  I'll keep maintaining this portion of the sluggy fan webspace.  --[[User:Galatea|Galatea]] 15:45, 22 Apr 2005 (CST)
*The Mew ftp download server will also continue to be available. (per AIM from Mew 4/22 6:30pm EDT)
*Harena is purchasing the sluggysquad.com domain from Mew (Galatea) for $50.
 
== What Happened ==
At 2:06 pm EDT 2005-04-21, SqueakyMewMew, founder and owner of the SluggySquad family of channels (#sluggysquad, #sluggyafterdark, #sluggytoys, #sluggycrafts, #sluggycounsel) was akilled from the VillageIRC network:
 
*<-- squeakymewmew has quit (Autokilled: For the safety and well-being of all network members and staff, your presence on our network is no longer welcome. You will receive an email detailing these reasons within the next 24 hours.)
 
SqueakyMewMew sent the network owners a polite goodbye email and has relinquished ownership of all the Sluggy channels. Discussions are now underway to determine what will happen next.
 
Watch this page for updates.

This decision was made (as I understand it) by the owners of the network. I was not involved in the discussions leading up to this, but I support the network's decision -- although I am also very sorry to see Mew go; more about this later.
 
--[[User:Dhraakellian|Dhraakellian]] 15:26, 21 Apr 2005 (CST) adds:
 
The current plan is to continue the channels in more or less their present form, on the same network. There may be some minor changes in the chanop team.
 
--[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 16:15, 21 Apr 2005 (CST) adds:
 
As I understand it, Mew initially considered moving the Sluggy chans over to a new network but ultimately decided against.
 
==Partial transcript==
Here's part of what the network administrators had to say in #sluggysquad. '''Emphasis''' has been added by [[User:Aero|me]]. (time=EDT)
 
:[02:13pm] <+Cynapede> FYI:  Some of you have seen squeakymewmew be removed from the network, and we have had private inquiries, so want to clear the air here....
:[02:14pm] <+Cynapede> The removal from the network is permanant.  '''For matters of personal privacy and confidentiality, I cannot divulge specifics as to why this action was taken.'''  However, it involves personal well-being of a member on this network.
:[02:14pm] <+ShadowMaster> Several members actually
:[02:14pm] <+Cynapede> I want each and every one of you to know though...
:[02:15pm] <+Cynapede> You (the members) AND sluggy channels have been a vital part of our community here for nearly 2 years...
:[02:15pm] <+Cynapede> You continue to be welcome and wanted as members of our community :)
:[02:15pm] <+ShadowMaster> What happens to the sluggites will be up to the sluggites themselves and the staff members
:[02:17pm] <+ShadowMaster> Due to past history and information we have, we have put the sluggy channels in a state where they cannot be harmed pending Sluggy staff having had time to discuss matters
:[02:21pm] <+ShadowMaster> Out of respect for Mew i refuse to go into any details in public nor private. I will say however that this decition was not reached lightly and its part of a long running history of events that have culminated in the past weeks
 
And here is Mew's eventual decision: (time=MDT)
:(13:22:25) squeakymewmew: I've decided not to move the channels
:(13:22:37) squeakymewmew: I'm sending an email to the chanops and to the network staff appointing Harena as the new owner in my stead

== Issues ==
 
*(4/23) We will be getting the domain sluggysquad.com, but not (as I understand it) the splash page, most importantly the images thereon, nor did we ask about the animated GIF from the wiki. Should we ask, or just create our own?
** (4/24) Content that's currently on the sluggysquad site can be sent to whoever takes over via email. Any designs that you want to keep may be kept so long as you include a linkback to cutefuzzy design for anything that you keep intact of my work.  Also of note: I found an old DB backup of the wiki dating from February 28.  It doesn't have much but it has *some* of the old info.  I tried to restore it to the wiki that I've still got sitting on ss.com but something is glitchy... not sure which version the DB is vs. the current software I've got running, but what have you, I've emailed that much to Harena. --[[User:Galatea|Galatea]] 19:26, 24 Apr 2005 (CST)
