Well guys and girls (although I'm fairly certain there's no girls on here at the moment) it's time to let the cat out of the bag. Myself and Rated R are stepping down as owners/mods of the fed/board simply because neither of us has the time to dedicate to keeping it running properly anymore. It's funny that both of us had come to this conclusion at the same time (literally the same day) but I think it's for the best. We both still want to compete as roleplayers here but that simply isn't feasible if we're also having to run the place, given both of our current real life schedules. We're in the process of handing the Mod powers over to a pair I'm really excited about as I know they will do a stellar job. At this stage I think Trace is the longest serving mod here? I think his time with me has pushed him past bad guy™'s previous record? Likewise I've been mod for 3 years now and have really tried to turn this place around. We've had highs and lows both in terms of the size of our roster and how engaged everyone has been but I like to think we did some good. So who are the new mods I hear you ask? *drum roll* King Richius and CM Poor: DeepFigureValueThank you to everyone who has helped during my time as mod. Everyone who has written a match, pitched an idea, made a graphic, commented on people's RPs etc. I love this place, which is the exact reason I want to hand it over. Just to reiterate neither Trace nor myself are going anywhere. We both will be RPing etc, just not running the place. Cheers

Honestly it's gonna be weird not running this place anymore, in the eleven or so years I've been here it feels like I've been owner for more time that I haven't which is just mad. But I think it was time for a change, myself and Drakz have both really struggled with time recently and I think the lateness of the results have just proven that we've hit that point in our lives where we've just got too much on.
Like Drakz said we'll still be writing here, I've got some story stuff planned that I really want to be able to focus on and to be honest I've struggled with burnout from being both writer and owner and one of them had to give. I'd rather spend my last however long as an active writer actually enjoying writing. I want to thank everyone who's helped out while I've been running things especially Thunder, Shawn and Drakz for being great co-owners.
I think we've chosen two great fits to take over, honestly couldn't think of two guys I'd trust with the fed more than them right now. I'm really looking forward to taking a step back and enjoying this place from a writers point of view and straight up I think the best of the WFWF is yet to come.

Thank you for being amazing mods since I've signed up here Rated R Drakz. It'll be weird to not see you guys planning cards, but I'm glad that you'll still be around to compete. Kudos. With that being said, I wish King Richius and CM Poor: DeepFigureValue with lots of luck as the new mods around here. I'm sure you guys will do great.

I think Drakz and Rated R deserve a standing ovation for the work they've done. They're the only WFWF mods I've had the pleasure to watch work and a huge part of the reason I've come to love it here. And I do love it thanks in no small part to both of them for being so open to my constant pestering with ideas, my sometimes novella length submissions, and all the fair and honest criticisms that have made me work to get better as a writer yet enjoy every second of the process. They've left some big shoes to fill.

So, this is a situation I never figured I'd find myself in. If I ever thought I'd be doing this, I'd have never killed off Jack Brennan, because who better to run the company than a complete Irish wise guy? I'll second King Richius, in noting that Drakz and Rated R are owed a great deal of gratitude for the way they steered this ship. In spite of being the perpetual victims of low participation numbers, their run was about as consistent and non-tumultuous a run as I can recall, and I've been here off and on since I was about 16. Swig o' seltzer for the moddin' men. It looks like things are still in transition at the moment, but I'd like to imagine that we should see a whole flurry of activity kicking up here just as soon as that whole business is complete. Stick around folks - I think it'll be worth the while.

So is this place on ice until bad guy™ decides to switch the mods?

So it's actually in his time table at this point. I think we can start on a few things while we wait, particularly a roll call/new show sign up thread. Check back tomorrow. I'm watching Raw right now.

I'll just keep plugging away at the housekeeping sh*t I'm putting together then, 'cause I can't really do much of anything with it 'til the mailman comes.
God help it all if none of this falls into play before my 3.8 security driver comes in. After 15 years of wanting it, I've finally got my mitts on a copy of VPW2, and once I get a nice American cartridge back on that baby, I'm gonna be useless for the foreseeable future.

We're still good to roll, me and Drakz can do the moddy bits like stickying / locking threads till the change actually happens.
