After seeing pistool post i thought i would also add my view ;)
Before going into my personal opinion we first have to look at the situation fountains environment putted on them and what was or could have been done.
FA was always an alliance far off the frontline, most of its members loved to "status quo" where FA was actively supporting the war (SA vs CA) while having no personal disadvantages in the conflict.
FA could fight when they wanted (send a fleet to cache or backdoor regions) or just reap in profits and money in relative safety.
The FA of old, when i joined prolly 2 years ago, was a group far too much stuck in democracy. Bureocratics had taken its toll, decisions were neither made or simply delayed due to personal dislikes within the ceo's and generally FA was stagnant.
The squabbeling on the boards was amusing but showed already the deep drift within the alliance.
There were alot of ppl who talked alot but didnt act, that gives alot of space for hatred especially if a successfull coup follows removing some of these elements by force.
In my personal view then the downfall began, quickly after the initial rise to the top (t2 introduction, military success, peacefull region etc). Fountain surrounded itself by friends, neglecting its military and followed more and more the "diplomacy above all" path which is imo strongly influenced by the lack of interest and joy Fountain leadership had in pvp.
In the end allies fold, diplomacy fails, wars rage and you are left with no forces to command because the good players left and the good command left.
Without putting too much into it but the leaving of pistool / aka biz was the deathblow for any large scale military operations. No offence to anyone of the other fc's but they simply lacked the experience and "hours in seat" alongside his total demand for respect and disciplin.
In the end Fountain took the wrong road when they forgot that this game is based on war and when important changes to rejuvinate a military department failed or were not even launched.
FA did step toes and in the end lacked the muscles to survive all the anger and hatred they provoced.
The stepping toes part is normal/inevitable but they lack of muscles was their downfall.
So to sum it up, their arrogance and their shortsight wrg to pvp/military digged the hole they are now burried in.

Ah and i always mad that FA never real help they allies. Really never any special help was sent.
I am just curious why everyone overlooks what we tried to do for NORAD .... despite the fact that they couldn't do that much to help us defend them. Does really no one remember this?
Apparently short memories go two ways, I seem to remember during diplomatic talks that during the time when Nemesis left and FA moved a massive fleet down there to "stabilize" (that was the term we agreed on, remember?) the area, NORAD was none too pleased that FA was putting it's nose in where it shoudn't be.
