Thank goodness the goons are no more.
LoLz - If you think that the entity known publicly as goonswarm is somehow gone from the game then you are mistaken. They will reform into something new. Frankly from the gist of what I've read on the SA and Goon forums most were bored with the game and wanted to go back to causing tears in Empire/low sec etc and did not want much to do with being a 0.0 "grr.....serious business.....grr" internet space empire alliance. This action was seen more as a mercy killing by most of goons. If anything this probably has freed them from being responsible for anything in game and now they can go back to what they've always love doing and that is causing space tears in empire.
