@Zack Jordan  I think giving a more thorough explanation would help prevent people from feeling badly about your departure. I think it might *seem* fun to be mysterious and cheeky, but I, for one, was very (very!) excited about The Life Interstellar but now just have a bad taste in my proverbial mouth. I can only imagine how @Jeremy Thomas  and the rest of the Inkshares team feels. 

From how you frame your departure in your update, it sounds like you received (and accepted) a different publication offer. If that is the case, I feel we, as your Inkshares backers, deserve a bit more information than a notice that you have mined our email addresses.  

I really felt for you losing the contest by such a close margin, and was really impressed by your campaign.  I’m not sure if you know this, but I lost the Nerdist (which was painful) but then went on to hit 1k+. I’m not judging your choice to leave, only am sad that you are doing so without giving any real reason for doing so.  

Lack of information makes the imagination run rampant, and with John Robin’s questionable departure I know that there are many like @Richard Saunders who are a bit wary of these "mysterious" exoduses, myself included.

Way to keep fighting for it, Tabi. I’m delighted for you (and me, since now I get to read this someday!).
