I'd like an update too.

Deleting threads is not a good solution.

LOL, I like how I'm being called out here with unfounded accusations.  In reality, those who know me, know I'm not that petty.

If you must know, he's has been suspended by the majority of the board that makes up Metro Jacksonville, Inc. for multiple offenses. 

Until everything works itself out you can follow him here:

From what Ive heard, that is a lie. You own moderncities and suspended both of your partners (Arash Kamiar and Stephen Dare) then just kind of appointed other people to sit on a new board.

Aren't you being sued for that?

Interesting first post Stephendare Vvamp ;-)

Nope. Stephen is the only one suspended.

Suspended? Life is sweet.

I am a neutral third party who has only heard one side of the story and it was 10 months ago.

Rather than air any potential dirty laundry I will just simply say that it was my understanding that Stephen Dare was to purchase sole ownership of the site from the rest of the members, who were in the process of creating and launching modern cities. There were concerns about whether funding would be available to close on the sale, and I'm guessing those complications have resulted in no transfer of ownership to date.

Another violation....

Point being, the launch of modern cities was simply a new focus for the old ownership and it was always intended to aid all parties in a smooth transition, but it maybe gives a bad look for those without the benefit of the whole story.

I am a neutral third party as well, and I don't think you are correct. Two of the owners of moderncities are owners of Metrojacksonville. According to non compete agreements they weren't allowed to open a competing website but did so anyways.

Stephen Dare offered to buy out the competing owners, (Ennis Davis and Dan Herbin) put the cash in a trust account for them and then they breached the agreement. Then colonized this site with their competing websites's content. then cut out their equal partners, Arash Kamiar and Stephen Dare and deleted all of Stephen's content.

Probably we have different parts of the story, ProjectMaximus.

You already mentioned that you only had one viewpoint.

Can't we just blame everything on Aldermanparklover (remember him?) and be done with it?

There really is no story to be told between Modern Cities and Metro Jacksonville.  The truth will come out in due time.
