Dear Edenites,

First, let me apologize for not addressing the community sooner. My lack of communication was not intended to create more anxiety but to not draw more attention to the situation. I appreciate the concern and confusion that our recent staff changes have caused some of our members. We have worked hard to develop a relationship that goes beyond the traditional customer/retailer relationship. We consider you to be family.

Unfortunately, some of our EF staff family left very suddenly. I and our entire community appreciate the contributions that these individuals have made throughout their time with EF. Let me assure you that the decision to let these individuals go was not one I took lightly. I do regret that it has caused some of you anxiety. Whenever a family member moves on there is a period of adjustment.

We have worked hard to develop a company and community that promotes products and free discussion of sexual wellness. To continue to provide this to our EF community, some tough decisions needed to be made. The amount of changes we have rolled out recently has been stressful for everyone. I and our entire team would appreciate if you would hang in there with us through these changes. To be successful and continue to offer the products and services we are known for, there needs to be a mutual commitment.

I am sorry that I cannot address concerns regarding specific staff members and why they are no longer with us. Although we are a family, EF must operate under the laws and regulations of the country we operate in. I do not want to make any statements that would be negative or detrimental to the future employment of any of the past or current staff members. I hope that you will be understanding of the need to maintain confidentiality and trust that all decisions were in the best interest EF continuing to provide you the high quality products and forum services you have come to expect from us.

Some of the posts have suggested that the staffing changes and some supply shortages are due to a dire financial situation. This is wholly untrue. EdenFantasys is financially stable. The changes were made in an effort to better position EF in the market place. I ask for your patience, understanding and continued loyalty.

Thank you all, Fred less

The thing is though that if it's fake, it's played into everybody's hands because of the vague (and also misleading) info that has been shared among the 'family' in the last few days - the 'family' that the fired Admins have played a huge part in creating but have apparently ultimately been fired for not doing(?).

For example we had the 'mass email' that we were told didn't go to everyone because of a 'glitch' but was actually only sent to a few dozen members. We've also seen all of the Admins fired for 'not meeting goals' but one of the Admins who worked alongside them come back in to help. That's not aimed at Stormy as a person, it's the fact that an ex-Admin who worked alongside the 'underperforming' ones has come back to help out. less

I agree, the information we are getting is highly contradictory. Stormy said the the admins were good at their job and they weren't leaving because of that, but Fred just said that they weren't meeting the goals he had. Which is it?

I think we need some real answers! less

I think it is very sad and i will miss everyone that was let go, and i agree it was a very harsh and blunt way off doing it... but sometimes in a bad economy you have to do such things, he thought he was handling it the right way and doing what was best for HIS company ... I appreciate the effort to ill us in now and clear things up, even if the audio isnt a fake I dont see where it should cause this kind of uproar ... people are upset and lashing out and thats sad.

I for one will stick it out and support the site that has given me so much, hopefully they will be able to come out the other side of this ok.... but i not I'll still appreciate them for the opportunity they gave all of us less
