I am posting this message to the community at large to inform you I have left
BrickMedia (www.brickmedia.com) and therefore am no longer involved with any
of its properties. I have made several requests to Matt over several weeks’
time to remove my name from the BrickMedia websites, and those requests have
not been honored.
Because my name is still listed on the BrickMedia websites against my wishes
and without license, I feel I should make it absolutely clear I am no longer
involved by posting here.
This information isn’t new to the public, but this is the first time it’s
come out in the form of an announcement - see my response at the bottom of
this FBTB thread.
I do not wish to discuss the details surrounding why I left BrickMedia in
public. Those who need to know already know, and have been very supportive of
me. Any questions you have about BrickMedia should be taken up with its
owner, Matt Gerber.

Why the secrecy?
I mean, you’re not wishing to discuss the details, you’re upset that your name
hasn’t been removed from the site, and you need the support of those who ‘need
to know’ so it obviously wasn’t an amicable separation.
So why not say what happened? People will speculate anyway - we can tell it
wasn’t amicable. I’m definitely interested - and I don’t even stand to lose a
small amount of money or a free magazine over it.( I was already wondering why
the ‘unforeseen circumstances’ delaying Bricks Magazine included one of the
editors seeming to have forgotten he had agreed to write a book, and the other
one that he had a family to support!)
I recall you often speculating about the LEGO community, so why not share what’s
happening with that “community”? People think they (or others) may have lost
money and - besides that - people were looking forward to Bricks Magazine. But
then a seperation between you and Brickmedia occurs, and you don’t deem it
necessary to tell them - your “community” why.
It all seems a bit odd to me.
(Or did you get a severance package which included your silence?)
