The Icing on the Icing on the Cake — Leon, FCA and me through 2024

The Fate and Challenge (FCA) project is very close to my heart. Since Marco’s departure, I have helped to build it up into an independent association with a respectable name in the community and among experts. FCA is one of the world's oldest websites by pedophiles about pedophilia that I know of, which clearly opposes all forms of sexual offense. And the association runs the only pedophile self-help forum in German-speaking countries that clearly shares this stance. Fortunately, there are more such websites now and with P-Punkte also self-help chat, for example. When I left the team in protest, I called the experiences from November 2022 a “final icing on the cake” and believed that the team would let me go in peace.

Unfortunately, some FCA members didn’t leave it at that, but instead made some more really strange moves. This is to be my last blog post to work through the events surrounding my departure from the FCA team. Events that also affected Leon and his departure and left us shaking our heads in disbelief.

Spring 2024

Shadows Project

In early June, Leon and I accidentally discovered the unauthorized release of Shadows Project (SP) with the aftermath I have described in my first blog post. According to our current state of information, Markus had presented the project to third parties as “abandoned” and established himself as the new person managing it. Accordingly, the text in the new design mentioned Leon and myself exclusively in the past tense and as co-founders:

• The text pays tribute to Leon in a list of people who “were involved in Shadows Project” and whom to thank for laying the “groundwork of times past”
• “Leon S. Kennedy […] a computer enthusiast who […] is the programmer behind the website and has spent a lot of time and energy making it work.”
• “Max Weber was instrumental in setting up this project together with other supporters.”
• “Max Weber was the administrator […] He left the team in 2022. We would like to thank you for your great work, your enriching ideas and your helpfulness.”
• “Max Weber - Former administrator of SuH [true], founder of SuH [no that would be Marco] and Shadows-Project [true]”

This new version of SP was apparently released in late February 2024.
> By June, 3 months had passed without any notification to us.
> For 1 month of that time, Leon had still been a board member and thus in the bizarre position of simply not being informed about a project that was running on his behalf.
> And about 9 months had passed since I had last talked SP through with him, during which Markus never mentioned the progress of the revision in the several private phone calls and instant messages we exchanged.
