The Phoenix code repository disappears from FA's GitHub.
Nov 2014
It was discovered an FA Server was never used via a leaked Trello for tracking FA operational tasks, it comes to light that Jake, one of the two beefy machines purchased in May 2013 with over $5,000 in donations, has been been unused the entire time.
This is particularly egregious considering that FA had just raised another $17,000 for hardware one month prior, while a machine worth thousands of dollars collected dust.
FA announces that a new devops person named Starrykitten has joined the team maintaining the existing site. Starrykitten appears to be a freshly-minted name with little history attached to it, but the person seems competent enough and sets about investigating FA's operational backlog in a systematic and public way.
It is soon discovered that Starrykitten is Zidonuke, a person somewhat infamous for black hat shenanigans. This revelation generates considerable consternation. He steps down a week later.
Oct 2014
FA starts a GoFundMe fundraiser asking for $25,000 to purchase new servers. FA is looking at migrating to a "new system", perhaps "dedicated server based hosting".
FA experiences a massive DDoS from an unknown source and is largely unavailable for most of the week. SoFurry, Inkbunny, and Weasyl are also affected.
FA nets $17,104.23 from the fundraiser, and donates 10% to SoFurry to help them recover from the DDoS that occurred at the same time. Weasyl and Inkbunny, which were also affected, receive nothing.
Dragoneer incidentally reveals that the site owes $10,000 in taxes.

Jun 2014
FA puts out a call for a skilled "CSS and layout wizard", despite Adam Wan's (Zaush) claimed extensive expertise in Web development. Zaush again lied about his skills.
Jan 2014
Project Phoenix (Ferrox v6) announced
FA announces another rewrite from scratch, this time in node.js. The team is Dragoneer (whose actual role is vague), Adam Wan (who made the new UI mockups and chose the platform), and two people with no reputation. Note: Adam Wan has ZERO node.js programming skills.
This generates quite a lot of furor, as Adam Wan (Zaush) had previously been embroiled in rape allegations, which he treated dismissively.
Dragoneer states a sickening reply that she voluntarily drove to Adam Wan's house before getting raped.
