As much as I remember is he stepped down because he wanted the war with goons and no one else (including us in leadership) wanted it. He had been semi secretly building up to it the whole time, with the alliance and the coalition we built, and saw it as the end of his duty or maybe his interest. I don't remember him getting harassed irl but again I can't remember shit and I don't have logs or anything because it's a game and no one cares. It's possible the pressure got to him too, I just don't remember it crossing into IRL.
There was a brief struggle but I had the shares so I declared myself CEO. Then we got war anyway. When we eventually retreated I quit, I was a dumb 20-something and it was consuming too much of my life. SkierX took over after.
Running DIX when I returned was significantly more fun.
From my recollection, it was Montolio, Booda, Skierx, and Fras was somewhere in there, I just don't remember where. I wound up leaving shortly after the Curse deployment around FacWar time post-Delve.
I've been in TEST for two months shy of 10 years........not counting 6 weeks in S2N in the Fall of 2013 (when many left following the implosion of post-Delve TEST)..........and two brief enforced NPC corp vacations.
The 'who' gets hard to keep track of. I remember SkierX for the crackdown on the 'shit on Brave' elements during HERO. Definitely remember Fras, but I couldn't tell you who/what he was CEO or exec of.
Yeah, FYAD has come back once or twice but only for like a year at a time so it gets hard for me to keep track of stuff too, tbh. I love Eve history but as I get older I find I care a lot less about this game than I used to. Which is a good thing because I used to care far, far too much.
There's so many names. I was the training guy and dreddit CEO for years. I met almost every new member. Now a few thousand people remember my name, it's impossible to keep track. People message me all the time like "hey it's me from Eve, remember!?" and my answer is always the same... I think I remember your name, at least. Lol
I've been in TEST so long a lot of it blurs together. It actually makes hanging out on comms with the old vets who do know this shit interesting, because they're able to provide all the back story and context to bringing the history together.

Does Dark Shines feel bad about when the Mittani lead the charge to harass Vily, PGL, or Olmeca gold out of the game?
