I'm surprised that nobody has spoken about how Chris had apparently gone into a huge depression recently. Word from one of the Telegram groups is that the snow leopard guy, whose name has escaped me right now, who was one of the senior admins (Chris took over his account as a sock puppet); he's apparently not dead, and broke up with Chris. The result of that has caused Chris to become really reclusive to everyone, even his own his higher staff members, and isn't partaking in any events either
@WiggleCat is in that Telegram group, he may know more and can either confirm or debunk this
