BPS重要通告——暂停营业
在北京时间1月7日下午2:39，BPS成员Matt Squared在Discord服务器发布一则重要公告，具体内容如下：（已翻译）
【CH】请花时间阅读本公告的全部内容。这对黑色等离子体工作室（Black Plasma Studios）的未来很重要。
我是马特（Matt Squared），代表BPS主管团队。请花些时间把自己安置在一个私人的地方。这是一个非常令人心碎的公告，它将使许多人感到震惊。
今天，在我们周五的工作会议上，大卫把所有董事拉到一边开了一个临时会议。他告诉我们最近对他的指控，他过去的行为涉及一个未成年人。他将无限期地离开BPS，并将企业的所有权转让给一位现有的董事。我们正在与相关人员接触，并将确保事情得到专业和公正的处理。
在任何情况下，BPS都不会以任何方式宽恕David过去的行为。请不要就此事骚扰任何人，包括David；有关各方正在私下里自己处理这个问题，因为这是一个私人问题，将以有关各方认为合适的方式进行处理。我们和任何没有受到直接影响的人都不应该介入此事本身。在我们弄清事情的过程中，请容忍我们。这个消息对我们所有人来说都是一个冲击。
我将尝试回答一些我认为读到这个消息后会想到的第一个问题，因为我知道这是一个重磅消息，而你们中的许多人（和我们）因大卫在导演方面的许多成就而仰慕他。
黑色等离子体工作室会被删除吗？
-我们没有删除BPS频道的打算。然而，我们正在讨论重塑品牌，改变频道名称并删除大卫的所有内容。这意味着《动画人生》、《战争之歌》、《阻击死亡》和其他内容将从公众面前删除。
导演们会离开吗？
-许多人还没有决定。有些人，如我，将在不久的将来全职留下，并尽力通过重塑品牌来保留我们能做的。其他人将进行短期休息，还有一些人正在考虑永久离开，并试图找到新工作。对我们几乎所有的董事来说，这是消息的第一天，所以我们仍然需要时间来处理。这毕竟是我们的生计。
Discord服务器会被删除吗？会不会有一个新的Discord？
-是的，以消除David的行为和历史的所有痕迹。我们将把他从所有我们能做的事情中删除，并与他完全脱离关系。当这个公告发布后，在我们关闭聊天频道后，你将有几天时间在所有东西被删除之前对你的聊天记录进行截图。
-会的，我们可能会在下一次上传或社区帖子中宣布关于黑血浆的消息。在那之前，请对我们保持耐心。
我的PATREON认捐怎么办？
我们仍在讨论这个问题，但由于事情将经历一个重大转变，我们正在考虑退还一月份的所有款项，并关闭BPS patreon，并在重新建立品牌后重新开始。
我还有很多话想说，也有很多话不知道该怎么说。我们中的许多人在这里交到了朋友，找到了社区，创造了粉丝艺术，组建了游戏小组，学习了Blender，这样的例子不胜枚举......而很多事情即将改变。我们希望将Black Plasma作为我们社区的一个安全的地方，鉴于对David的指控，我们觉得重塑品牌是最好的方式。
我们将在短期内删除这个对话服务器。请密切关注BPS频道在YouTube上的改名，以及在未来几周关于新迪斯科服务器的社区帖子。所以请确保你已经订阅了......或者只是留意Starfall被上传到哪个频道。这也行得通!
感谢大家在我们作为黑色等离子体工作室的旅程中支持我们。我自己，以及导演组的其他成员，希望在未来事情稳定下来后，能在我们的新名字下的新对话社区见到你们。回见。
-马特，以及黑色等离子工作室（BPS）主任团队。

【EN】Please take the time to read all of this announcement. This is important to the future of Black Plasma Studios.
Matt here, on behalf of the BPS director team.
Please take some time to get yourself situated somewhere private. This is a very heartbreaking announcement and it will come as a shock to many.
Today, during our Friday's work meeting, David pulled all of the directors aside for an impromptu meeting. He informed us of recent allegations against him for past actions of his involving a minor. He will be leaving BPS indefinitely and transferring ownership of the business to an existing director. We are in contact with the people involved and will make sure that things are handled professionally and justly. In no way shape or form does BPS condone David’s past actions in any way. Please do not harass anyone about the matter, including David; the parties involved are dealing with the issue themselves in private, as it is a private matter and will be pursued however the parties involved see fit. It is not our place nor anyone who is not directly affected to get involved with the matter itself. Please bear with us as we figure things out. This news was a shock to us all. I will try to answer some of the first questions that I think would come to mind upon reading this, since I know it’s a bombshell and many of you (and us) looked up to David for his many achievements through directing.
Will Black Plasma Studios be deleted?
-We have no intentions of deleting the BPS channel. However, we are discussing a re-brand, with a channel name change and taking down all of David’s content. This means that Animation Life, Songs of War, Blocking Dead, and others will be removed from the public.
Will the directors be leaving?
-Many are undecided. Some, such as myself, will be staying full time in the near future and trying their best to preserve what we can through the re-brand. Others will be taking short breaks, and others are considering leaving permanently and trying to find new jobs. It’s day 1 of the news for almost all of us directors, so we’re still taking time to process. This is our livelihoods, after all.
Will this discord server be deleted? Will there be a new discord?
-Yes, to remove all traces of David’s actions and history. We will be removing him from everything we can moving forward and disassociating with him entirely. You will have a few days after we close the channels for chatting when this announcement goes live to screenshot your chats before everything gets deleted. -Yes- We will likely be making an announcement on Black Plasma on our next upload or community post. Until then, please be patient with us.
What about my patreon pledge?
We are still in talks about this, but as things will be going through a major shift, we are thinking of refunding all payments for January and closing down the BPS patreon, and starting fresh after a re-brand. There is so much more I wish I could say, and so much more I don’t know how to say. Many of us have made friends here, found community, created fan art, formed game groups, learned blender, the list goes on… and a lot is about to change. We want to keep Black Plasma as a safe place for our community, and we feel that a rebrand is the best way to go about that in light of allegations against David. We will be deleting this discord server shortly.
Please keep an eye on the BPS channel for a rename on YouTube and a community post in the coming weeks about a new discord server. So make sure you’re subscribed… or just keep an eye on which channel Starfall is uploaded to. That works too! Thank you all for supporting us through our journey as Black Plasma Studios. Myself- as well as the rest of the director team- hope to see you in our new discord community under a new name in the future once things have settled down. See you all on the other side! -Matt, and the Black Plasma Director team.
