Title: Long story short
Post by: Rowain on September 05, 2006, 06:59:46 pm: Bart is back as head honcho for time indefinite.

My "reign" as "owner" is over.

I am giving up "ownership" because I am not nearly motivated enough to do a good job. I'll try staying on as an admin for a bit but yeah, if I don't even have the presence of mind for that then I'll step down.

It has been fun, etc.

The only real change here is that Bart is an admin again... and I guess we take orders from him though he's never exactly been one to boss others around (too badly that is lol)

So in reality I don't think too much will change except that maybe TRU GW SPIRIT will return or something.

Post by: Ryan on September 05, 2006, 07:19:51 pm: Awesome, even though I didn't know much of the BEHIND THE SCENES jazz, you seemed to have been doing a pretty good job Rowain!
Title: Long story short
Post by: Angroth on September 05, 2006, 07:22:25 pm: Well that's pretty cool I guess. Hopefully you'll still hang around because you're a cool dude. I did notice Bart was admin status just before this topic was created. So, this explains it.

EDIT: Oh and welldone, I thought you did a decent job as admin. :nyd:

Post by: Rowain on September 05, 2006, 07:27:36 pm: Btw I should add here that the only reason GW isn't dead by now is because of ramirez (and of course all the premiums if you wanna get into finances)

I AM VERY INDIFFERENT TO ALL OF THIS

Well! I didn't think you hated the job that much. Or maybe not hated, but perhaps you just didn't really care for it. Anyway, you were a pretty good admin in that you didn't do seriously stupid things and you're a pretty okay guy so this kind of sucks.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Randy Moist on September 05, 2006, 07:28:13 pm: Man since I've been on GW bart's been pretty inactive and Rowain has been the image of the site, at least to me. Well, hopefully things will be run as well as they have been in the recent past. Goodjob Rowain.

Title: Long story short
Post by: Bumblebee man on September 05, 2006, 07:33:48 pm: I could ALMOST tell this was coming as soon as Bart made his return. Well, it would be idiocy to say anything other than you were a great admin. I'm glad to hear you're staying on as an admin, just not being the big cheese so to speak.

Thanks.

Post by: local_dunce on September 05, 2006, 07:34:10 pm: Don't step down.. ... please :(
Title: Long story short
Post by: Sarah on September 05, 2006, 07:35:35 pm: Well Rowain I think you've done a great job, so thank you for taking care of things while bart was in remission, haha.

As long as you're still around I am very happy :)

Post by: Lord_Abriel on September 05, 2006, 07:37:28 pm: I'm sure bart threatened you so you would resign :ninja: :hmm: -_-

But yeah, things seem to have been running along smoothly during your reign so: good work!
So Bart is going to be more active now (beyond zoo and wow forums lols)?

Post by: Summoner on September 05, 2006, 07:50:36 pm: All right then, you did a great job in his stead Rowain, I always felt you were the best choice when Bart did step down. Now that Bart is back, this just like when I first joined.

Except that my name is different, I'm not a irresponsible n00b and I'm a mod. Yeah.

Good to have you back Bart.

BTW: I edited our Wikipedia page, hopefully I got it right.

PS Well done Rowain.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Shadow Kirby on September 05, 2006, 10:23:28 pm: I still love you Rowain. :sad:

Well, happy to see you back Bart. I hope I'll see you on IRC. (when I come back there that is)
Title: Long story short
Post by: Perrin on September 05, 2006, 10:44:02 pm: So Mr. Gnaido is in charge again? I remember when Bart was in charge back when I first started visiting GW.

Sad to see you go. I hope you stay active. I really like your posting style.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Sludgelord on September 05, 2006, 10:52:40 pm: Welcome back, Bart. Rowain, I think you did a really professional job. I don't really see why you need to step down. I think you should maybe take on a more reduced role while maintaining your admin status, but I don't really think you should just STOP BEING ADMIN.
Title: Long story short
Post by: the_hoodie on September 05, 2006, 11:13:43 pm: Welcome back to admin role Bart. I hope it's as good as you used to do!
Title: Long story short
Post by: xanque on September 05, 2006, 11:53:57 pm: Wow, I thought the message on IRC was a joke or something. I'm not sure what to think of this, as I barely knew Rowain and haven't paid much attention to the goings-on of GW for a year or so. But it's nice to see that Bart should be hanging around a bit more often (if he hasn't been already).
Title: Long story short
Post by: TFT on September 06, 2006, 12:14:43 am: Thanks for doing such a crackerjack job Rowain. For a second I thought you were leaving. WB Bart.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Ax_Dude on September 06, 2006, 12:21:07 am: Whoah Bart is Back.
YAY

Rowain you helped keep GW alive. Thanks.

Post by: Bill Murray on September 06, 2006, 12:27:23 am: Man, Rowain. As much as it's awesome to have Bart back in the admin seat, you've done an awesome job.

I salute you.

Post by: Doktormartini on September 06, 2006, 12:29:12 am: Welcome back Bart! Rowain did good, at least I thought so.
Title: Long story short
Post by: reko on September 06, 2006, 12:42:50 am: Welcome back Bart.~
And Rowain you've done great job, I really hope you'll stay as an admin even though Bart is back being the man now!
Title: Long story short
Post by: Mateui on September 06, 2006, 01:08:11 am: Welcome back Bart! ^_^

Rowain, you had a wonderful reign as Administrator, and truly did a good job keeping things running smoothly.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Fade on September 06, 2006, 02:12:30 am: I had wondered if this might happen. Rowain, I think you've done an excellent job running this place, and I hope you decide to continue as an Administrator.
Title: Long story short
Post by: Rowain on September 06, 2006, 02:12:58 am: I appreciate all the glowing remarks and all (really, I do) but.. just to clear it up, I'm NOT resigning as an admin.. just as head admin. If I don't find the heart or will to be involved in the community, however, I will step down as an admin altogether. That's what I meant.
Title: Long story short
Post by: UPRC on September 06, 2006, 02:31:30 am: Don't take this the wrong way, but this is awesome news. You are awesome Rowain, but Bart is GW, and things felt so.. Strange when he decided to hand the site over to you. Nobody can say you did a bad job though!

I'm not good at this shit.

Post by: Izekeal on September 06, 2006, 03:00:07 pm: Does this mean there's a chance of another GW Meet? Because that would be pretty cool.
Title: Long story short
Post by: LORd on September 06, 2006, 03:31:36 pm: Man this is about as sudden to me as Rowain becoming head admin in the first place :hmm:

Man Bart I remember when you quit, saying GW became too tiresome for you to maintain. what suddenly inspired you to pop back!

Nevertheless glad to see more of you again since you pretty much embody GW to most of us.
oh and gj rowain you did well btw thanx for the modds dog :cool:
