I wish to write this post to commend @elear for his explanation on what happened. First of all, I think taking the Utopian.io's interface offline was a smart thing to do. This is necessary for a good audit and redesign of the system. Most people fail to understand that the community grew too fast as he mentioned here:
It is also worth noting that Utopian.io was born as a proof of concept and a prototype. Utopian.io grew at an unexpected pace - much too fast for us to keep developing the prototype and supporting the existing community, all while working on a finalized and market-ready product.
Secondly, The "inside job" allegations should not be encouraged. This is because many talented developers have worked and continue to work at this project. There is no need for a Witch hunt without any proof:
As a CEO, handling a situation like this one is challenging. I wish to clarify that no one should ever be accused or suspected without clear and verifiable evidence. Utopian has been a place of collaboration for many gifted professionals worked in the past, and the information below is not, by any means, meant to show any of them in a bad light.
Thirdly, He reiterated the fact that Utopian is here for the long haul.
The true value of Utopian is not in its interface or frontend, but in knowledge and people.
So I guess I agree with his closing remarks: "WE ARE UTOPIAN
And we’re not about to stop."
