Barak resigns as CEO of Six Apart
lj-biz announced about half an hour ago that Barak Berkowitz has resigned as Chairman and CEO of Six Apart.

Well, actually, they announced they have a new CEO, Chris Alden, and only mention Barak's resignation in passing. Imagine that, 6A being indirect and uncommunicative and beating around the bush.

The post is here, with comments disabled, and links to more "information."

Popcorn and beer at my place!

Seriously, WTF? Disabled comments and really just a quick blurb, and no explanation. How much do you want to bet that they're doing this for several reasons:

1 - Barak made an ass out of them with the whole LJ mess.
2 - Someone finally got pissed off at his smug smiling icon.
3 - They realised the BBB complaints were not stupid petty stuff, and that paying users were migrating like mad.
4 - They actually lost money, not just from users, but from Pepsi.

... My vote is #2.
