End to an Era of a Sort
I've got some big news to share with everyone; neither good nor bad. I'll try to keep this succinct, of course, but most of us know that won't happen with me as the author. So, I'll jump straight to the point and then get on with explanations and details.
As of today, June 1'st 2017, I'm retiring from my position as Head Administrator of HypnoHub. Taking over my duties will be <<hypnohub.net/user/show/1535|Henry-killenger>>, who has been a Moderator and then Administrator of the Hub for a majority of its existence.
It's an end to an era of a sort. With Mindwipe's retirement long in place and my own starting this day, both of HypnoHub's founders will have left active service of the site.
There will be growing pains, I'm sure. The Hub has grown immense compared to the close-knit community it was in the days of its beginnings. It will take no small amount of effort to adapt, both on the part of the users and staff, to the ever-growing community here. I can only hope that we all approach the future confidently yet with caution and that the Hub has many years left to its future.
With the change in administration, expect there to also be changes in policy. I would go so far as to say that you should expect some sweeping changes just shy of policy reversals. These will just be more growing pains, as the Hub continues to progress with the changing times.
On a more personal note and in more personal tone, I have greatly enjoyed my time as Head Administrator of HypnoHub and Hypnobooru before it, for the whole time approaching four and a half years. It was a true pleasure to interact with each of you; and an even greater pleasure to build a place for our community, catered to our interests.
I don't make the decision to retire lightly. No, in fact, I have deliberated on it for nearly a year. My personal life has reached a delicate point where I must focus on it, with minimal distraction, to climb up and rise to whatever heights I am able. In other words, fuck am I busy. :P I just no longer have the time to give the Hub the attention and care it deserves.
Luckily, I'm not so busy that I need to abandon the Hub entirely. I will still be here when I get the chance. I will remain as a sort of "janitorial" administrator, dishing out moderation and administrative work and messing around the site with the rest of you when I have the free time to do so. And I'll still be around to help out with database and site software issues, since I'm pretty much the only one amongst the staff who understands it. :P
I'd like to wrap this up by once again stating that founding and running HypnoHub has been one of my most treasured experiences in my life. And no, even though I'm "leaving", you can't have my stuff. ;)
