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?)

I’m obviously not Tim but am working with him on a very important project right
now whose deadline comes the end of this month. You’ll read all about this in
eary August when it’s over. He’s playing a very big role in this project and it
is NOT just going to be shown to just Lego enthusaist like ourselves. We’re
talking one heck of an audience.
If there is anyone who should be going over the “what happened” with us it’s
best we get it from the head honcho himself and that’s Matt G.
Adr.
