Original Founders Leave JPG Magazine

Being a watcher of JPG Magazine's community, (and recently a contributor) it was interesting to learn that the company who runs it, 8020, has lost the 2 founders Heather Champ and Derek Powazek. This seems to be due to differences in the back story of the magazine, though it seems as though the JPG's about page has very briefly summarized Derek and Heather's involvement in the beginning of the magazine. I think it's important to read the real story and understand where the magazine really came from, but not let the situation destroy the magazine. Let's just hope that 8020 doesn't further ruin a great thing.

It wouldn't be fair to not mention 8020's response to the whole thing.

Update: JPGMag's Unofficial group on Flickr, has some interesting comments. Most notably the number of "I'm cancelling my account." Obviously, they don't realize that Derek still owns a portion of JPG and won't benefit from this at all...

Also, The Wayback Machine has the old About page.
