There are a couple of things Alyssa said that I can well believe are true. The part about the boys never getting around to splitting ownership of the company sounds plausible - it's the kind of boring paperwork that a lot of people might put off, especially when you're busy, and in any case you are best friends with the owner and couldn't ever imagine them abusing their power or screwing you over...

The part about Tim requiring Troy to write the explanation of what he did sounds likely - in fact it's something I actually suspected when the post went up. A couple of months ago Tim posted some anti-THAC stuff on his Tumblr and got some anon hate from fans. He also called Troy's initial placatory statement from when he and Joseph first left "balls". I could see him wanting Troy to set the record straight and tell the truth to the fans, maybe as a first step towards forgiveness. However, the idea that he might have "emotionally abused" Troy into doing it doesn't sound like Tim somehow.

But yeah, Alyssa should have known better than to wade in like that. It did, of course, only make things worse. I read her blog sometimes, and she is going through some terrible stuff in her own life right now aside from all the THAC stress and money issues, so I can see how her judgement might have been a bit skewed at the time, but it's still no excuse. Even if it was entertaining.

Never thought I'd see THAC implode like this..not to sound rude, but I'm glad it's happened post-MH so that series didn't end up like CL44 in its climax

I wish them all well, and success in whatever they're doing in the future

So, has Noah said anything about being fired? The last thing I've seen of him was the message the Joseph told him to eat shit over.

I checked his twitter. It's nauseating. Nothing about getting fired, though.

I was making a joke because I thought you were making a joke.

In addition to Noah's ever-present mask of cheerfulness, I suspect he might have been told to stay out of it.

Well I've finally just read all this and all I have to say is, Jesus Fuck. It wasn't looking hopeful and I was always slightly hoping Noah would do something cool and make me like him a bit more/pick up on CL44. I was hoping Joseph and/or Tim had just had a creative burn out, or distance thing as I knew Troy had moved, rather than a falling out with Troy. But it turns out my suspicions were correct and that Troy and to a less extent Noah forced Tim and Joseph away. Hopefully Tim and Joseph start making their own content or collaborate together sometime(s) to make something wonderful. I hope now that Noah has essentially been fired Troy still has the ability to make shorts on his own or at least get collaborators to work on individual shorts or something. But I wish Troy, Tim and Joseph all the best on what they move onto next and hope that they can at least sort out their differences as people and still be friends.
