Editors' Note: Guest blogger Grace Moon is Editor in Chief of Velvetpark[/] (http://www.velvetparkmedia.com/), and the former Managing Editor of OurChart.com (http://www.ourchart.com/). This statement is being reprinted from VelvetParkMedia.com (http://www.velvetparkmedia.com/?p=775).
According to the LGBT News site the Advocate.com (http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid66834.asp), "word came down Friday afternoon that OurChart.com will be shutting off all content effective immediately. Editor Grace Moon notified the staff of contributors and bloggers via e-mail on Friday afternoon. Moon said in the e-mail that the entire staff had been let go and that Friday would be her last day."
You gotta love it when personal messages become public. Friday, I did indeed send out a personal email to all of the contributors of OurChart to let them know of the abrupt termination of my employment and their contributions to OC. Since I did not have time to bid farewell to the OC community and deliver any transitional thoughts on my brief tenure there, I would like to take this opportunity to do so now. But first let me clarify I am not speaking in any official capacity for OurChart.com and its owners.
