If you follow DartHater.com, you probably noticed they have not posted any new content since the end of December. The rest of the community definitely noticed and it seems we now have a reason. The whole staff has been let go by Curse and no one knows whether or not they are going to try to revamp it with new staff or 5d381h
One of the most active of the DH team, Jaspor, its on Reddit that he is no longer working for them but he doesn’t seem to have any additional info on what will happen to the site in the future. In fact, it seems no one really has any information at all other than- they were let go.
It was just back in September 2011 that community seemed happy about it and the DH crew promised their core values would not change- and they didn’t.
But now, just over a year later, it seems Curse has let the whole fans who visited the site religiously for their SWTOR news and updates.
Many SWTOR fans were diehard fans of Darth Hater. That is the beauty of a leaving fans in the dark waiting for another update that never comes…
The team who have spoken out about it say they still play SWTOR and won’t be leaving the community so perhaps we will see some of them step up in a different way.
Justin Lowe says he still plays SWTOR and it sounds like he will still be part of the community:
Regardless of what the trolls think, I still play #SWTOR 30+ hours a week.

So what do you think this means if it’s the end of Darth Hater? Many claim their content wasn’t what it used to be the years before the game launched. (We’re over 4 years old).
This brings up the next great point that has fans concerned: what does this mean for the community?
There are still dedicated fans like us here, the TORwars crew (who are also completely volunteer), Dulfy and others dedicated to bringing you the best news, guides and information on SWTOR. And while we’re sorry to see them go, Darth Hater fans are always welcome here!
