The concept of OPN/EFN was a good one to the general public to those without home internet access. The concept alone with EFN as a sole was good too, but the merger was also a good one as well. But, where it left to spin its web downward is to be said and told honestly by those behind the scene's, only time will tell if there's an honest statement to come.
Me, I'm still skeptical with a crisis like this and a great concept that was needed in the community.

I find above paragraph revealing and disturbing:
a) [everybody involved] "knew" / Really? --Except the EFN members and supporters!
Quiet frankly, I felt tricked and mislead after I had donated at the fundraiser earlier this year, and then just a few weeks later the bombshell exploded.
b) Turning a blind eye, and keeping quiet is the attitude that fostered the large corporate scandals we have been seeing. I am not suggesting to put the EFN/OPN collapse into the same category -- it's the attitude of 'knowing and remaining silent' what I am talking about.
c) I don't see how this can be all blamed on the former manager as the "downward spiral" continued at accelerated pace after he had left.
d) The former supporters and members of EFN/OPN deserve an honest statement from EFN/OPN officials about what was really going on. By just glossing it over they will not regain the trust they have lost in our community.
