The reputation of AK has temporarily declined.

It may have declined among a small group of people who strongly sympathize with a certain individual, but among the majority of players, respect and trust for AK as a whole, and for each of its members in particular, has remained consistently high, if not increased, due to the decision regarding ATG. It's just that these few sympathetic individuals are very active and write the same thing 20 times, creating a false impression of their correctness and unnecessary hysteria.
