Firstly, I want to say to everyone who's trying to find out what went wrong and why the SQUAD died that
the SQUAD is not dead! How can it be? We still have heaps of members who're active and who chose to stay behind and who'll now carry on just like it's been done from the beginning.
Here's what happened with the whole situation - at least from my perspective.
Mars saw a couple of thread Sars, BF and Count made about Nazis, and started playing a 'Dictatorship role playing' game that everyone disliked. As part of the same, he started designating different titles to different members. Superstar and BF were made 'Head of Security', whatever that means
. Anyway, one time, things were a bit dull in the V, so a lot of us went and flamed people in the G&O which resulted in a lot of complaints and whining. This made Mars say that SS and BF should step down cause they didn't control the crowd (WTF
)! Long story short, SS and BF got pissed off (rightfully so), asked Mars to apologise. Sars backed them and gave Mars an ultimatum and Mars got kicked out when he didn't apologise.
Then SS, who'd gotten tired of this 'SQUAD member' role, decided to go solo. Alex23 saw this as an opportunity to pressure Sars into posting a pic. Sars flamed him back and now, Alex, SS and BenJ have left the SQUAD to form the Wrecking Crew. A couple of the members have decided to sit the whole thing out till it settles down, which is quite reasonable. They are MoS and Havenbull.
This is what happened, plain and simple. It didn't happen due to ANY outside force like Heckler or Adonis or Bluto although each of them are trying their level best to take credit for this
. The SQUAD is still here. Here's a list of who is still in the SQUAD (Thanks to Count for this effort):
The Squadfather aka Sarcasm - founder and still current leader of the SQUAD
Man of Steel (self imposed hiatus, but has said he's still with the SQUAD)
Dr Kaje
Havenbull
Showstoppa (hasn't posted in a while, but I know he's with Sarcasm and will always be in the SQUAD)
Count Grishnackh
Naughty by Nature
BigCypriate
John Matrix
kiwiol
There is no longer a distinction between Senior member and generation 2. The SQUAD is unified
now and all are melded together into one strong singular unit.
