Title: New Administrator and Owner
Post by: TWCToday on April 28, 2009, 09:17:26 PM
Hello TWC Today Members! :wave:

If you haven't heard or seen, I am pleased to announce that I am the new owner and administrator of TWC Today. Thank you to everyone for the kind words of support. Gary was (and still is) an amazing admin! He isn't leaving completely so you will still see him around. Gary brought this site to life and grew it to the largest and most active TWC community to this date. I am grateful he choose me to take over.

I wanted to express a few things to make sure everyone knows whats going to happen to the site and forums.

First off there will be no changes at all to the admin positions. Over time I will evaluate and determine if changes need to be made. ALL current rules and policies in place are still in effect.

I know most of you here at the forum and happily call you all my friends! However please note I cant be Mr. Nice Guy all the time. There will be times when I need to step in or take action. I will not give special treatment to anyone. Please respect my wishes and do not request to be a moderator or admin. As mentioned before I will determine that.

Right now I have lots of ideas and possible plans for the site and forums. However for now things will stay exactly the same. I need time to get my feel for things. Please remember I do have a life outside the forums but I will do everything in my power to make sure I create enough time for this forum. In a worst case scenario I have several people willing to take control of the site should I need to step down.

As for TWC Classics, as far as I am concerned I have no problems with them at this time. Time will tell what happens with that statement.

That being said I cant wait to see what the future holds for us here at TWC Today! See you around the forums!

Martin, if you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to ask. I'm here to help!  :biggrin: B)

As Martin said, though I've stepped down as owner of the site and forum, I do still intend to stick around..at least as much as I can. I want you all to treat Martin with the same respect with which you treated me.  B)

Oh, one final thought. I want to thank all of you for supporting my choice of replacement. It means alot.  :biggrin: B)

Congratulations, Martin!  I wish you the best in your duties as our new leader. :salute:

Gary, thanks for everything again!  I don't have to worry about how passionate and dedicated a forum community you've built up. :lol:  You gave us until on or about May 13 as the deadline in your notice, and we've already resolved the matter and transitioned over smoothly in less than 36 hours! :thumbsup:

Before I step aside, I wanted to to do one last thing. As a gesture of goodwill, I've removed from the ban list Matt and the two TWCC members whom I'd previously banned. Hopefully this will be a step toward peace between the two sites. I also don't want Martin to inherit my troubles. Instead, I want him to have a fresh start.  :biggrin: B)

I also want peace between my site and TWCT. I have already made ammends with Gary, but would like to take it one step further and offer my skills to fix the PHP errors on this site. I'm not sure who handles the scripts, but if they're interested in my help, feel free to send me a PM. :)

Yah, I stepped away from here for a while in an attempt to keep the peace. I thought that if I wasn't around, Gary and I wouldn't butt heads. Looking at some of the threads here, I see that I didn't need to be here to piss Gary off. :hmm: Oh well, water under the bridge. B)

I should have elaborated. I'm just in charge of fixing bugs. That's it. Nothing else. I'm not in charge of content and such. That's all Martin. Sorry  :blushing:

Is Gary still going to have control of the TWC Today YouTube account, or will Martin have that job now?

That's up to Martin I suppose, though for the record I have no problem maintaining control of it myself. But we'll do whatever Martin wants.  :biggrin: B)
