This thread does not have all the background story. I suggest you use the search function to find additional threads, if anything it'll be a great read to educate yourself on how things happened, it'll give you a much better perspective and help you make a better decision.
Stirring up the past on this thread would lead to a lock by the mods. This thread has gone surprisingly well for some time at providing updates on the company, hiring, etc. I'd say let's try to keep it that way...
