So, um, yeah. Lanesplitter is now Sean-less.

That is all.

I don’t know if I’m supposed to tell but he posted it on Twitter, so.............

Any idea why? Is he going to The Drive too?

The HULKSTER is scaring all the talent off.

Isn’t Tyler from FA leaving as well?

He’s gone. Friday was his last day.

His most recent tweet leads me to believe it wasn’t his choice. Which is dumb.

Gotta scrape up the Millions to pay the Hulkster from somewhere...

This does not bode well for jalopnik. First Tyler, now Sean. I see less and less Torch lately too.

That’s going to make it harder to kill time at work...

Yes it was. He took a job at Time.com I believe.

Lanesplitter - sean = Lplitter

But Sean IS Lanesplitter!

Come to think of it, I don’t think I’ve seen anything from Wes since that whole Ted Cruz gun-pointing thing...

So sad to see good talent disappearing.

Is there really any point to it now that he’s gone? Like I know Andrew posts stuff on the occasion but I think Sean was the only regular author who has a motorcycle license. Now it’s just Andrew

Don’t forget about Travis leaving a few months ago.

That sucks so much. I always read his stuff even though I've never been on a motorcycle and probably never will be.

Gone because fired, or gone because better job?

Let’s all welcome a warm welcome to the new editor at large brother.

Tweet just said “no longer an employee”.......take that as you will

That sucks. Seems like a lot of people are leaving lately. Send in your resumes Oppos!

If this keeps up I’m out.

Fuck this shit.

Hoping aboard a sinking ship doesn’t seem like the best idea.

This is the worst news I like Sean.

Wes has been gone since Indefinitely Wild was shuttered last November.

He’s over here now.

Urambo Tauro > Blondude 04/18/2016 at 19:36

Ah, thanks. I couldn’t find an announcement of any kind.

At least Tyler was given the dignity of a ceremonious departure. Sean deserves likewise.

It's like everyone knows that one Hulk takes over its doomed.

Ugh, instead of dropping everyone off one by one just kill the whole thing and start anew somewhere else. At least it would keep most of the writers together that way, rather than having them spread across a dozen sites.

Eh any platform is a good first platform. As much as we mock it, people move up to pretty high positions afterwards.

I was wondering where he went. I don’t understand why some get to say bye and others are dropped like a bag of dog poo.

It seems to depend on if they quit or get fired.

Same, I’ve already written off Lanesplitter, unless for some reason it gets really good in a hurry, I’m done with it.
