Where are the Grämlins now?

With the current alliance being in the news at the moment for all the wrong reasons, it seems a good time to see where the 'Grämlins diaspora' – long time members who left because they felt the alliance wasn't what it had been – have gone, and what they have done.
Obviously other members have also left and who I consider to be on this list is entirely subjective!
The exodus began with the creation of Kronos, with Ender Land, White Majik, Dankbud, Tryptamine and Heracles the Great striking out for something new. Several of the former Grämlins left in a blaze of 'glory' during the CoUNT incident, but Dankbud remains.
Another large group went to TOP, including HellAngel, necAnt, President Obama, Inferno, Celial* and Liquid Mercury. Several former Grämlins are or were in TOP government or milcom (including infamously LM in both the TPF and Polar coalitions). Syzygy joined TOP during the war having been on the protest AA 'The Härmlins' for a long time.
*: No, his nation isn't Celial. Someone already had that, though they seem to be gone now.
The other popular destination is The Ninjas, with 8 of their highest NS membership coming from Grämlins, including such dignitaries as Ejayrazz and Egwaterboy61. Ninjas have taken many of the original ideas of the Grämlins – an invite only alliance, sharing information and decisions among friends and not becoming overly entangled in the MDP web – and it is natural that so many would find a home there.
MK have had a couple of recent high profile additions (TBRaiders and Synth_FG), as have Umbrella who have two Grämlins on their applicant AA at the moment.
The Harmlins exchange did its thing as Nutkase and Zere became Hitchhikers over at the MHA, though Zere is no longer around.
Other Grämlins who've moved on make up single nation enclaves in Fark (DLT) and IAA (Doch).
The newest refugees (EB and April) are still looking for their next home.
And then of course there's myself at VE.
Some important figures now exist only in the history books, with Steelrat being the biggest name to go that way recently. Adhambek has also gone in the last few months.
